Huge use of the G Chord

[fatjack]

I like songs that sound good, regardless of what key they're in.

did i ever say anything about not liking songs in the key of G? no, i sure as fuck didn't.

its just overused in pop because its an easy key to sing in and write guitar based music with

if you say he is basing a lot of his new riffs around the G chord, chances are the key of the songs will be in G, all pop music is in either C, G, or D, and to a lesser extent F. its that simple.

i really hate the direction his guitar work has taken lately, there is no creativity to it, its all bland and common.

yea, I belive you did.. calm down

actually i didn't, me not liking his new guitar work has nothing to do with what key its in, that comment was merely an aside to the "key of pop" issue

oh, I thought you were agreeing that he was useing G more, and therefore becoming closer to pop. And then you said you didn't like the direction his guitar work was taking. I guess I read it wrong, but you still didn't have to get defensive.

i dotn feel like i was getting defensive, all i said was "fuck"

"did i ever say anything about not liking songs in the key of G? no, i sure as fuck didn't. "

sounds either defensive or offensive to me

all depends on how you look at it, it was more goofiness than anything

[whatshername]

when you say pop, all i think of is britney spears, christina aguilera, and all the shit that's on the radio now. i don't see dave anywhere near being pop.

i see pop as something that is catchy and easily enjoyed by most casual music listeners. those songs fit that description

i disagree. you make things very complex and detailed. music is music, you either like it or don't like it.

yep, but im sure that there are plenty of people who like both dmb and brittney, no matter how much you would like it otherwise.

well, so be it i guess. people like what they like. it's one of life's unsolved mysteries...

hey let me play

I've stood up for the Everyday cd lots and lots of times on this board, but in all reality the Everyday cd is pop-like

i really don't agree with you.
i don't think everyday was even close to trying to reach a pop-like state. the whole album is basically about love and question towards life and where we've been and whats happening now. everyday was an album(i think) that they put out when dave decided he didn't want the lillywhite sessions to become the new album just yet.
i think "crash"(the album) was more pop-like then any other album. and i hate to admit it but dmb is considered pop music in the main stream music industry. these days every band has to fit into some category and the closes' they could figure was pop cause its friendly, happy and all around good music.
i really don't care what the music industry calls dmb, i love the band and all the music they've put out thus far. i could go on forever about this but i guess i'm done for now.

[Teego Time]

Arguing online is retarted. Dave made some good music. He still makes music. Whether you like it is up to you, simple as that. Each man is entitled his own opinion, but trying to change an opinion of someone online is like trying to change someone's religion, or political stance, it just ain't happening.

Oh the quote war got kinda funny though

Oh yeah, and if that didn't make any sense, sorry, its late.

[GreyBlueAnt]

So Dave's playing alot songs in G?

Arguing online is retarted.

That's a very argumentative thing to say.

[tjmac66pc]

G strings are nice 8)

Instead of arguing about G chords and pop music... maybe TJ has a point

[ryopan]

i guess ill jump in on this. fatjack, you are pretty much right in my opinion. daves guitar work has chilled out. his songwriting has taken his guitar torch imo. what would you say-->gravedigger. lyrics get better. guitar chllls out.

as for the pop thing, yeah, dave is pop in my book. he does not have the pop sound but because his mainstream status (not mtv-mainstream but selling as many records as they do-mainstream) he gets into the pop world.

now thats not a bad thing really the quality of music is way the hell up there. it bothers me when someone doesnt like it when a band they like gets famous. not saying anyone on here is like that but thats just silly. i could rant about THAT for hours but i will cut it short. anywho...
