Hilarious! Unintentionally hilarious, I'm sure, but hilarious none the less. I agree, Satriani IS boring… almost as boring as Coldplay.  For all his technical wizardry, Satriani's music leaves me cold. Just as Coldplay's does. I absolutely understand Coldplay's popularity though, they fall into that strange music niche where soulless mediocre bands have a mass appeal, ala Dave Matthew's Band, Blues Traveller and Hootie and the Blowfish. It's for those who want a nice safe, pleasant music experience, who do not want to be challenged by what they are listening to.  That said, Satriani almost certainly has a case. The boys in Coldplay better be prepared to pony up.
