  8. Simply amazing! :)

  9. 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. 

  10. Jesus Paul looks sick :(

  11. he’s right about the modern rock thing, people wanna keep it simple these
    days

  12. Beethoven’s Fifth starts on the four

  13. 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.

  14. Why does he looked he’s been up for 4 days and had nothing but coke.. lol

  15. Jimi Hendrix was the definition. His imagination and dreams = his song
    writing.

  16. Legend. 🙂

  17. @GuitarHopeful12 rover

  18. are you talking about greenday……jk..haha

  19. I’ve been saying this shit for years. Paul just graduated from one of my
    favorite guitarists to one of my favorite people.

  20. 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 >.>

  21. @TreyArmstrong01 tre cool is a don, go away

  22. @SilentAce86 actually what he says about modern rock is extremely ignorant
    and generalized.

  23. in the eighties, every song had a loud snare. gives me a headache.

  24. @Halocon Bosley hair solution, I’m feelin it.

  25. You mean Bad Indie Rock ,I agree

  26. @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.

  27. What’s weird is when I write songs, they almost always start on the and of
    4, rather than on 1.

  28. Trolling, or just being a cunt?

  29. @Benjamin Sweeney lol was bout to say the same

  30. @Danje1 i see… now i totally understand why… thanks

  31. yeah paul is right!!!! i dont like the sound of the rock bands nowadays it
    sound so different than the old days!!!

  32. Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt disliked this.

  33. not necessarly all songs need to have a solo
