coldplay rips off satriani?

You're not kidding, we have some real geniuses here that over analyze things to the point you can't believe they bothered posting.

An innocent joke about MC Hammer sampling Rick James and then me pretending to think it was a coincidence they sounded the same turns into a cynical "i don't get it" fest, my word some need to lighten up.:

You failed because it didn't come off as a joke. It came off as you genuinely thinking MC Hammer just happened to come up with the same riff as Rick James. You have to try harder to convey tone in just words.

Or you just missed the sarcasm.

my analysis: Aikbach failed.

side note: Aikbach said "oh my word". double fail.

when you have no sense of humor, i can see where it would be hard to get the joke.
