COLDPLAY bootlegging a riff

[EZRA]

---

Check the song: Compuer Love by KRAFTWERK and compare the riff to Coldplay's "TALK" from the album X&Y.

Ripped off note for note.

dugay ra man na sila nga riff off bai, ila style kay kinawat ra na sa Radiohead, too bad sila nisikat og maayo, bisan ang radiohead and nakauna anang ilang style karon.....

[EZRA]

Daghan mang banda nga nagsunod sunod ug style... ana man gyud na, maklaro gyud ang influences sa usa ka artist. Si Chris Martin klaro kaayo nga idol niya si Ian McCulloch. Ang MUSE man sab gani.. ang vocalist klaro kaayo sab nga pina Radiohead ang style.

Pero lahi ra gyud na ang mo kopya ug riff note for note.

[slakker]

wow, they did an orange n lemons. maayo na lang wa ko mopalit sa X&Y.

Sa ka daghan ng songs nahimo (worldwide), di man jud tingali malikayan na nay magka parehas ug riff. And dako pud kayo na factor ang mga influences na gipaminaw sa isa ka banda/singer. and ang ma happen na ana is they tend to sound similar sa ilang mga gipang idolyzed na artist. Maybe Coldplay really did rip off that song. And maybe Muse really did structured thr genre of music similar sa Radiohead. ila sad na ryt? Mao sad ila trip.. As long as they perform well and as long as people continues 2 support them, its all good...

Ripping off is never good.... why do people think nga pwede ra ipalabay nang mga banda nga mo kawat ug riff, melody, lyrics, etc.. tabla ra mana sa kawat (unless nananghid ka).

Influences are influences... it can and may dictate your writing style, .. it may not. Pero it doesn't mean nga you can copy someone else's work and pass it as your own. ... on Coldpplay's account, dili "maybe" nga ilang gi kopya ang riff sa Computer Love.. ila gyung gi kopya. Try to listen it for yourself... Kraftwerk is a very influential UK band that started from the 70's... they even influenced The Smiths, Joy Division, Depeche Mode to name a few.

Note: Muse didn't structure their style according to Radiohead's... and vocal style lang sa singer.

Wala sila nangawat ug riff. They asked permission to use it, and I think there's nothing wrong with that.

MARTIN SENT KRAFTWERK BEGGING LETTER

COLDPLAY frontman CHRIS MARTIN was so desperate to use a riff by German rockers KRAFTWERK - he wrote them a pleading letter in childish German.

The YELLOW singer recently admitted he was hooked on the electronic band's melodies, and that his new single TALK includes a Kraftwerk sample.

But he was only able to obtain the riff by writing to frontman RALF HUTTER and begging him to let Coldplay use it.

He admits, "The only thing I could think of was the pen pal letters I learnt in German lessons at school. I had no idea if they knew who Coldplay were so had to explain myself like a 15 year-old school-boy."

"Dear Ralf, I sing in a band called Coldplay, blah, blah. I drew a little picture. Everyone says it's extraordinary that they said yes.'

Oh, and they also credited kraftwerk on the album.
