This is a discussion forum, meant for talking about the subjects posted in the threads. The subject at hand is the film about a band. The band that I am talking about. I can say what I like, when I like, where I like, as long I follow the forum guidelines.
And, don't tell me what to do.
So, I was just giving my opinion about the band. You can piss all over it if you like, and I will continue to comment on whatever I want to, up to and including Tenacious D. Also, I don't follow the lists either, and I like what I like, and I haven't even seen MTV in about five years. Is that channel still around? With the list, I was mearly providing evidence that Tenacious D isn't the best band in the world, or one of the most popular, or even known that well throughout the world. Green Day IS one of the biggest bands in the world, with accolades, platinum albums, and spots in big programs all over the world. I think they are ****. But, that is just my opinion.Oh, and Tenacious D plays three and four chord rock, too. You have heard them right?
Here is the guitar tab for Wonder Boy
Notice the verse pretty much sticks to three chords, with an approach at the end using another couple of chords, but very 38 Special/green day in it's nature. Notice the augmented chord they use to attempt to trick you into thinking they use four chords. They aren't.
Move on to the chorus where it say (SAME AS VERSE)
There
is an interlude, but it uses the
exact same chord progression as the verse.
I think Green Day actually does a modulation from time to time in their songs.
Here is the tab for Tribute
In the Tribute verse, they use exactly ONE chord, peddling on
A the whole time.
Moving on to the uber-complex pre-chorus, they step it up to three chords again, and explode into the Chorus, where they use, hold it now,
five chords.
I mean, they are ultra-simple, open position chords on an acoustic, that I could teach my non-musician girlfriend to play in an hour or less, but they do use five chords, blowing Green Day out of the water.
So, yeah,
Tenacious D are right up there with
Opeth in complex arrangements, what with all those twelve minute opuses with key changes, odd meters, and tight technical playing.
And, since I know you know this, but wanted to comment on it anyway, that Tribute chord progression is the exact same one used in the song they are paying tribute to. You do know which song that is, right?
That song uses three chords too.
Oh, and to get back on topic, the film might be marginally funny.
