Hahaha. Wow.

Yeah only it took him years to hear about Clocks n shit.... Oh wait...

what a fucking retard

It's not like he's riding their coat-tails or anything

guyz, they steal all the time, they probably stole these too! gawd!!

hahahaha i wanna hear his "version" of them

I loathe this band

But in their defense, those songs came out years ago. Has this guy been living under a rock all this time??

Hm, maybe I'll sue Coldplay saying they stole one of my songs just so I can get some pub, too...

duh. he waited until he could get an assload of cash for it

"I loathe this band

this

Elvis Presley also stole Sammie's songs. Watch out Priscilla.

haha i like how this has happened so much that even the news title sounds bored by the repetition.

how can you steal from someone nobody even knows about

Just look at the guilt on their faces. good-for-nothing thieves

chris martin must be agonizing over this

Today I ate way too many Andes Candies.

these guys can not catch a break

I'm interested to see how this turns out. I can't imagine someone actually going through the process to sue someone over stealing a song if they didn't have some real good evidence...

Person should be happy, least Coldplay made those songs popular. Hell, even Guetta's sampled Clocks.

imagine his surprise when he heard his tunes on the radio

haha oh wow

I wrote Lift Your Skinny Fists fuck GY!BE

stupid as fuck

made me laugh though

a lawsuit is NOT cheap publicity. i'm guessing he's hoping for some money out of a settlement.

funny thing is this guy has wrote around 4000 songs.
anyone who writes a fuck load of songs like that is bound to have a song with some similarities come out somewhere down the line.
i bet that was his plan all along haha.

This songs came some time ago already sooo.... Nah.

Besides.

"The British pop rockers are being sued by Sammie Lee Smith, a self-described “unkown” but “well-talented” songwriter"

lol

Elvis Presley also stole Sammie's songs. Watch out Priscilla.

hahaha good shit.

Notice how he only claims to have written hit songs.

Even if he did write these songs...seriously 'Yellow' was released 10 years ago! The newest song was released in 2003. And it's not like Coldplay is underground. I like how he's pushing the fact that he's written over "4,000" songs...and these three where your only hits? And only when taken by another artist? Sounds plausible.

Obviously he is making false claims.

sounds legit

coldplay stole my song, i wrote "spies". how ironic

Lol. What a douchebag. There's no way he wrote any of those. Who the hell writes 4,000 songs in 30 some odd years. That's complete bullshit.

They should be sued for the horrible music they release.

I think I'll sue them next week.

I wouldn't call them horrible. Mediocre yes.

They should be sued for being sued so much.

Im sure I already wrote Coldplays future album...

I wrote the band.


Wait what?

and is a fact that they stole the name too!!!

"The band finally settled on the name "Coldplay" which was suggested by Tim Crompton, a local student who had been using the
name for his group."

i should sue limp bizkit. fred durst stole my idea of wearing a backwards baseball cap

Fred durst stole that guitar solo from me note for note.

coldplay are a bunch of pricks. I wrote the entirety of Viva La Vida and never saw ANYTHING for it..

maybe he wanted to deny writing Yellow for all these years but recently bankrupt and had no choice... yes I know I'm hilarious.

I'm 17 and I wrote Stairway To Heaven. I need to sue Led Zeppelin!!!!!!!
BTW I know i'm not funny....

I should sue all of you for being not funny, that's my job fuckers.

How do you go about proving such a claim? I mean even if he wrote something incredibly similiar wouldnt it just be circumstantial evidence?

That's obviously they're job, to prove whether it's coincidental or not. I think Coldplay's Viva La Vida, even though I love the song, is definitely whether on purpose or subconciously influenced by Joe Satriani's 'If I Could Fly'. This youtube video explains it pretty well imo.
