This song is from 2002 and the riff sounds also very similar

There's going to be some truth in this. They paid out of court! If someone told me I stole something from their shop and I hadn't but I must pay,I wouldn't pay! C'mon!

This isn't a sample. Its similar, but it's nowhere near being the same

@Gelef: It's just a shorter bit. No need to change the submission.

The guitar solo at 2:00 is very similar, too.

Spinks said on Wednesday, 06 January 2010:
Joe Satriani indeed filed a copyright infringement suit against Coldplay, the band denied the allegation, and eventually the case was dismissed by the court with both parties potentially agreeing to an out-of-court settlement.

Joe Satriani is such an idiot

Coldplay denies it but the similarities are too much to be a coincidence in my opinion. Plus, Chris Martin has freely admitted to stealing in numerous interviews.
