Rock guitarist Joe Satriani has filed a lawsuit against British band Coldplay, accusing them of using his own music in their song “Viva la Vida” off the album “Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends,” released in June 2008.

Court papers filed Thursday in Los Angeles on behalf of Joe Satriani claim British band Coldplay used “substantial original portions” of his 2004 instrumental song “If I Could Fly” on the title track of their newest album, “Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends.”

Satriani, who wants a jury trial, is seeking damages for the alleged plagiarism and “any and all profits.”

News of Satriani’s legal move come just one day after Coldplay were nominated in seven categories for the Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year and Record of the Year for the track allegedly committing copyright infringement.

“Viva la Vida” is credited to the band’s four members: singer Chris Martin, bass player Guy Berryman, guitarist Johnny Buckland and drummer Will Champion. It has become the most successful song of Coldplay’s career, debuting in June at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and on UK charts. It is Coldplay’s first number-one single and their second top ten on the Hot 100.

“Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends” was released in June and went to number one in 36 countries. Its title is inspired by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and the album’s cover features French painter Eugène Delacroix‘s “Liberty Leading the People.”

Coldplay worked with renowned producer Brian Eno on their new studio album, a collaboration drummer Will Champion has said encouraged them to explore new territory. “Brian has this amazing ability to demystify wonderful music and make it seem very achievable. We weren’t afraid to try anything,” he told Billboard in April.

This obviously does not include plagiarizing. As to Satriani’s song, the one allegedly copied by Coldplay, it appears on his album “Is There Love in Space?”
