Shredders' Moment in the Sun!

I heard this reported on the radio in the airport this weekend, and apparently it has been making the rounds.



I'll table the discussion of these kinds of lawsuits, though I'll say that the doctrine leads to interesting issues because part of it is based on proving access to the infringed work, so it means that Satriani would have to prove that Coldplay likely heard his music. Yes, he is big in the guitar magazine world, but I can't see Coldplay being fans.

More importantly, this grasp at the brass ring, combined Bumblefoot's and Buckethead's star turn on Chinese Democracy, means that it is truly a great day to be a shredder!
