Coldplay sued by Joe Satriani

Fuck that. I mean, everyone has different preferences, music is subjective, etc., etc., but some of you guys can be incredibly pretentious and haughty. I don't like Coldplay because I don't like the way it sounds or their lyrics. But I would never say that they "don't have emotion." Of course they do! If a person writes a song, no matter how cheesy and cruddy it is, it has emotion in it! If you don't like guitar wankery that's totally cool. But don't be pricks about it, and don't try to make your subjective statements into factual ones (If I Could Fly contains no emotion, to paraphrase.)

That and they've never actually heard any good instrumental guitar tracks.

I don't really believe that. I listen to Indie rock all the time. I also listen to "guitar wankers" quite a bit. I love both in equal measure. The people who don't like it just don't like it. And that's cool! That's their prerogative! However, they do not have to be assholes about it, and they unfortunately oftentimes are.

It came across (as well as most of G3's music) as the kind of light jazz/yacht rock/muzak you'd hear whilst shopping in Kohl's or someplace similar. I also do not much care for his guitar tone. If a good stoner riff is crunchy, then this is fried and greasy.

Disagree, I would say it is more roasted. Or baked, but baked isn't what I was thinking it was, and really sounds more fit to stoners anyways.
Spluff:
I suppose this just shows that different people have different amounts of empathy (probably not the right word) for guitar. I personally hear a whole lot of feeling in that song. And if you can't hear the feeling in guitar, there's probably no way you can enjoy music where guitar is the focal point of the composition.

oh my GOD
I so fucking hope we have this thread again. Not even joking, last time was a blast.
