power chords are dumb. their not major or minor and have 2** notes in them.. no room for variation. theyve got a root, its octave and one more note and thats poo. if your gonna do power chords you might as well extend them and do barre chords ..

EDIT: they do work well in songs that are strange like Minarets which is a harmonic minor.

So you hate songs like Layla and thing that Eric Clapton is "dumb"? I think power chords are useful as long as you don't rely on them too much.

i dont hate layla. i love it.. but its not ONLY power chords like half the shit out there in music. Eric Claptons solo's and stuff are awesome and make the song a classic.
I guess. ... i hate powerchords when they are the ONLY thing in a song like in good charlotte poo, and siimple plan poo..

sorry, I guess by "power chord" I meant barre chord, I certainly don't play mine with just two notes, I've always called that kinda chord shape a power chord, but I think they're great if they're used right, kinda for stong percussive strumming, say like on Halloween or Too Much

EDIT: and you can still write great songs just using power chords, just look at Greenday

haha they sux? Well I suppose they do, if you say so. Along with Talking Heads, Nirvana, and any other band that may have accidentally written a fabulous song with *gasp* power chords.

its not the powerchords that makes them bad. its the poor rythms, crappy lyrics, and horrible progressions

getoffmywalrus · Post by **getoffmywalrus** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 9:31 pm

well...each to their own, personally I think Dookie remains one of the most influential albums of the 90's, but that's me. However, my point is that nobody should say that a certain chord is "bad" because it depends entirely on how it is used.
