Axis of Awesome, 4 Chords, 36 Songs
36 songs that all use the same 4 chords that are in Journeys "Don't Stop Believing", the premise here I believe is that all the others ripped off Journey.
Even the bands that came before Journey...

I had to make it stop. I'm sorry, maybe it was the bourbon, but that was too funny
ReplyDeleteyou know, at the CENTER of that axis, the spindle on which all things spin, is YOU, Sky-dad. You KNOW that, dontcha?? Cuz YOU'RE 36 kinds of awesome!!
ReplyDeleteyou know... maybe this has something to do with the Unified Field Theory of Everything??
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic! I remember years and years ago realizing that "Louie Louie" played backwards (chordwise) comes out as Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride."
ReplyDeleteA buddy of mine put for the proposition that there hasn't been an original guitar lick written since 1972 -- they're all the same chord structure with different "frills" added. I think he's kinda got a point...
That was awesome!!!! I loved every minute of it!!
ReplyDeleteDuuude....
Maybe the premise is, "If you want your song to make the charts, use these four chords"?
ReplyDeleteIt's no "Born to Run." Although it's close. Very close.
ReplyDeleteI never liked journey
ReplyDeleteI stole Journey's hairstyles in the 80's.
ReplyDeleteI will NEVER hear any of those songs the same way again! Very funny stuff
ReplyDeleteOh, but I had a crush on Steve Perry.
ReplyDeleteThis is why Journey should have been stopped much earlier than they were.
