Not a fan of U2, however that opener was good.
Bono annoys me.

Billhill, looks like you need XM.


You cant be serious. If you are going by the performance last night, that isnt a real good indication how they sound. Radioheads arrangements are second to none and Yorkes voice is incredible.

All credibility by the Grammy's was lost the day Jethro Tull was voted best heavy metal album over Metallica.

I am serious about Radiohead. What am I missing?

Yhea, the Grammy pretty much is a pop record company boot licking cocksucking fest... but Radiohead, wow. I guess some people just dont get it. I like tool, Kyuss, Clutch.. shit like that...so maybe its just the ear i have for certain music, but to me Radiohead is alot more "radiofreindly" then say tool is. Not sure how you can miss it? If i can make a suggestion....listen to "Kid A". Pure fucking genius.

I might get fucking hammered for saying this (i know i would do it) but this song gives me goosebumps...

About time they got it right.

:toast:



must be nice to win a grammy off of someone else's work...The key song(and also a grammy winner) on that album is a blatant rip-off from Joe Santrani...Hope he sues their asses and wins..If there is any doubt just listen to the songs...Posers..here is a mix where they play the Santriani song underneath coldplays vocals...What a rip off..

Buster, that is absolute BS. And you know it. That is just some random guitar riff Joe played (however good it may sound). Viva La Vida contains guitar, chello and violin work. It's very distinct.

Is there a part of Satriani's 'I Just Wanna Fly' (and I am a fan of his work) that sounds similar to Viva? YES. But to say Coldplay ripped off that song is just rediculous.

that is the whole instrumental part,just coldplays lyrics in the video right? we will see who wins..if they have done nothing wrong they will win right?

maybe someone could make a video of satrianis song and throw in a violin and cello and coldpaly could sue him..

It's not that hard to do a mashup that sounds like the songs are similar. I don't think it's a ripoff. With all the music that is out there over the years, it's pretty easy to have sounds already created even by total accident.

not much of a fan of ColdPlay....

Im happy with my XM channel 40 'DEEP TRACKS'.

quoting a very intelligent man "D2bets" alot of this music today makes my ears bleed as well.

What ridiculous is Coldplay period. They are a gimmick band. Anyone that understands music would agree. But hey if it sounds good then it must be good, even though its processed cheese. The song "Shiver," was a Jeff Buckley rip-off, so i dont doubt they ripped this off as well. Seriously, if you want to listen to some good shit, ditch the Coldplay and listen to this...

PS: Everyone rips off everyone to a degree... Coldplay is just rubbish
