oh god not this !@#$% again
The viva la vida one is !@#$%. If you take into account that rock songs (especially for written for guitar) only use a handful of keys, and that nearly every rock song uses I IV V, it's likely that two will use the same key and sound the same.
Plus the melodies aren't the same. They are similar, due to the fact that they're the same key, but not the same.
This. When every other idiot tries to be big and releases a song, it's hard to come up with something new. I'm not entirely sure they did NOT steal, but so far I'm on the "not-stealing"-site.
Besides, it's actually IMPOSSIBLE to be completely original. There are things that just sound good and since you (and the members of coldplay, too) are human beings, you just end up coming up with these things.
Remember Goodnight's topic about the golden ratio in music? It's just like that.
Now cut this !@#$% out. "IF YOU PUT THAT TEMPO DOWN ADD A NOTE THERE AND AND AND UH PUT IT ALL AN OCTAVE HIGHER THEN IT ALMOST JUST SOUNDS ALIKE FOR TWO SECONDS THEY STOLE."
Jesus christ. You people and your conspiracy-stuff.
B...but I don't want to give the star chips back... It's the only way I can save my grandpa.
Some people need them more than you, you ignorant !@#$%.
