Mexico's Search & Destroy has posted an audio interview with guitarist Joe Satriani. Check it out at this location.

According to The Pulse of Radio, COLDPLAY's record label, Capitol/EMI, has forced YouTube to remove a video clip that mashes up the band's song "Viva La Vida" with JOE SATRIANI's "If I Could Fly". Satriani recently sued the group, claiming that the British quartet plagiarized his 2004 tune for their 2008 hit. The video, which plays a segment of each song separately before layering them together, has been widely accessed by music fans to compare the tracks and debate whether Satriani's claim could have merit.

EMI has reportedly not given any official reason for having the video pulled, but the website speculates that the label could be concerned that the video might prove damaging to COLDPLAY's defense.

Separate audio and video clips for both tunes are still available at YouTube.

Satriani filed a copyright infringement suit in Los Angeles on December 4, one day after COLDPLAY was nominated for seven Grammy Awards, including record of the year for "Viva La Vida". He is seeking a jury trial, damages and "any and all profits" attributable to the alleged copyright infringement.

COLDPLAY issued a response to Satriani's accusations, saying, "If there are any similarities between our two pieces of music, they are entirely coincidental, and just as surprising to us as to him."
