I didn't listen to the show until yesterday, and I agree with most of you that Matt was a complete tool in this show, and I normally don't have a problem with him. He could not be more wrong about the Coldplay/Satriani thing, because covering part of someone else's song with your own words still makes it their song. Whomever pointed out the Queen/Vanilla Ice reference is right. Whether or not Coldplay intended to use Satriani's riff is irrelevant if Satriani is the original creator of that particular riff, and owns the rights to it. If it's freeware, then this is a dead argument. What makes Matt such a douche is that he is arguing as if he is the utmost authority on this, when really he's just some dude with an opinion. Really, Matt, what the hell made you so special?
