Simply amazing! :)
For a big Pixies fan like me that’s a little hard to hear. There is
something to be said for the down down down down down down down thing. 
Jesus Paul looks sick :(
he’s right about the modern rock thing, people wanna keep it simple these
days
Beethoven’s Fifth starts on the four
And by 4-chord song I’m referring to the progression dubbed so by The Axis
of Awesome, it’s an easier term than spelling it out in theory language.
Why does he looked he’s been up for 4 days and had nothing but coke.. lol
Jimi Hendrix was the definition. His imagination and dreams = his song
writing.
Legend. 🙂
@GuitarHopeful12 rover
are you talking about greenday……jk..haha
I’ve been saying this shit for years. Paul just graduated from one of my
favorite guitarists to one of my favorite people.
yeah i know why not? lol … i believe anybody with more talent than that
should have his recognition. i used to think that way too before. and didnt
really pay attention to the quality of the music. but seriously, writting
should be a matter of talent and awesomeness in what you write, yet with
good lyrics and vocals unlike the boring ones from green day >.>
@TreyArmstrong01 tre cool is a don, go away
@SilentAce86 actually what he says about modern rock is extremely ignorant
and generalized.
in the eighties, every song had a loud snare. gives me a headache.
@Halocon Bosley hair solution, I’m feelin it.
You mean Bad Indie Rock ,I agree
@calastiur Thats what i’m saying though. Its this stupid obsession guitar
players have with technique and speed having to always be 1000000 notes a
second and a 1251 chord progression or something, otherwise its not music.
What’s weird is when I write songs, they almost always start on the and of
4, rather than on 1.
Trolling, or just being a cunt?
@Benjamin Sweeney lol was bout to say the same
@Danje1 i see… now i totally understand why… thanks
yeah paul is right!!!! i dont like the sound of the rock bands nowadays it
sound so different than the old days!!!
Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt disliked this.
not necessarly all songs need to have a solo
