80's Radio Chords - For Rivers Cuomo's Song Writing Dealio

[ck4no0hks]

hey man, why dont you write your own version?

[redtron]

BADASS<---!!!!!!

[MrWaraware]

you´re ideas are fucking awesome!!

[Vidhole]

i thought the chord best suited 80's radio/weezer style, but i think rivers is trying to create like a best song ever kinda thing

[tomokaze]

dude! this is sick! where you from we gotta be in my together!

[erikerodri]

dude, record this in a studio or somethin on your computer. its pretty awesome

[musicismyreligion55]

WHAT ARE THE CHORDS????

[justperez12]

wow mclovin can play guitar nicely

[fakeplasticmeat]

Hey! How about this for the lyrics!

I don't mind you coming here

and wasting all my time

cause when you're standing oh so near......

etc....

[ddifulco]

Haha... point taken, but it's pretty common to use these same chords. This kid has got the Weezer sound in mind and it's good!

[bleed0range]

I'm not sure if this chord progression is in another song... but I made it up myself. Someone said it sounded like Rush but I hadn't even heard the song they were talking about. So ehhh whaddaya gonna do. I just played what sounded cool.

[scorinaldi]

holy shit dude this is fucking good

[talkshow]

I think you just wrote the song. You are NOT using too much distortion in my estimation.

[wikiwawoo]

Props man that was ace! definately got the weezer vibe!

[sheister]

the end of that bridge was bad ass. good job dude!

[mitchejm]

very nice -- i like this better than what he went with.

[kingddd133]

dude that sounds awesome

[12only1]

YEA DUDE!!!

that the weez sound fo sho!

[Karla121212]

omg nice!

[Dylanis]

You should just write a seperate 80's Radio with this. It would kick ass.

[compugasm]

That was really good.

[Robbyaroz]

Maybe a little less distort, but it sounds realllly good.

I would listen to a song like that

[SalivatingSteve]

you're using way too much distortion.

[raekwon2008]

i like the first few a lot

[TOexp]

dude this is way better than wut hes goin with now if i were him i would have chosen this

[l33tsoss]

The Guitar sounds too much like Glycerine by Bush imo.

[gashantz]

fuck that it does

[Dandaman1500]

that was pretty cool!!!

[idontagree6]

he didnt take yours because it was a little to grungey altenative but its nice i wouldve chosen it

[highroller540]

awesome voice dude. good job.

[mitch18291]

wow really good job man. i like it alot.

[jrobinson78]

Hey whats up bleedinOrange, this is joel from Release....

nice work man!

maybe i should post one????

[weezerbh]

bleed0range...you should def. use this for the original boardie album

[Didgeman80]

Me again, had to come back and listen cause it's so damn catchy!!! Dude, you should just record this as your song, it's fantastic!! How would you play it in open chords?

:)

[stipakov123]

OMG its do dang good!!!!!!!!

[WaMBaMkThNX]

good guitarist and a cowboys fan

winner

[Didgeman80]

Dude! That sounded awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gertrudebetrude]

!RIVERS!... oh my gawd man, this Bleeding Orange dude might have something here... my vote goes to support his ideas, i'm lllloving it. And I love you;]

[lloydeboys2]

Bowling For Soup-ey.

[bleed0range]

I think the only thing that makes anyone think that is the line "I miss my 80's radio." ... then again, I really liked that song. Did you know that they didn't even write that song? They bought it from another band I believe. You can hear the other version online if you search for it. It's not as good though.

[LeeGrasswalker]

this gets the job done

[danthewelch]

This really puts some zest into my day

[geraldford]

Ozma anyone?

[bleed0range]

You know, people say that, but I've never even heard Ozma before. I know they supposedly sound like Weezer or something.

[geraldford]

No, Ozma is great. You should totally look them up. They're like my Weezer band when there is no Weez to be had.

[shinjury]

ozma is GREAT. It's a shame how much they are compared to =w= because they sound unique to me.

don't get me wrong, they are similar to weezer in some ways. think weezer blue album feel + lotsa keyboards + very clever lyrics.

[ReistRock]

Man ... did I miss this songwriting thing by like 3 days? I bought the blue album 2 days ago, and I've never been this inspired.

Maybe Rivers'll do another one of these sometime.

[dtpm60]

Pretty good!

[thegreatspoodini]

"You're gonna make it after all"...

[Jsonic98]

hey man i was just wondering if you can play like lead things instead of simples prgression chords. really no offense im just wondering

[bleed0range]

Yeah... I can play lead guitar too. I just chose to do the simple progression here because I cannot play two parts at once.

I'm not GREAT at lead, but uhh, I can play stuff like Sweet Child O Mine pretty easily without messing up. I've had to fix a lot of "bad habits" I've picked up over the years. Double picking is something I'm still working on.

[bleed0range]

I can also play every Weezer solo, ever. lol. Except In the Garage never sounds right. :(

[Ontrii]

not THAT similar but kind of similar to "Perfect Situation" (The "Oh's")

[CosmicJester]

this is excellent dude. i'd be happy if i heard some variation of this coming out of my radio.

[tsrshorty]

this is tight. hope he picks this.

[Heman49]

you have good ideas

[kirbysman]

The first You played sounded like jimmy eat world

[joeshmo416]

i like this one better than your newer one.

[igotmobeatsthanyall]

catchy

[sloth0306]

i really like it. although i'm worried Rivers won't pick this one, because you've put a lil' vocal melody over the top and it's not what rivers has asked for.

[bleed0range]

Eh well, I just think it's boring to just play chords. So I played each part out... just the chords, the melody, the riff based on the chords and then showed some potential the song could have based on those chords. Either way, ze chords are still in there! I can't help it, I enjoyed singing that part so I put it in the vid.

[buckets1127]

Ack.  It's good, but turn down the distortion! You can barely hear the guitar.

[JamesGrandeMusic]

it sounds good, but it sounds so similar to something i've heard before. i just can't put my finger on it

[antipink]

so many of the entries do.

it's hard to be original with so many bands out there, though.

[weezerbh]

my favorite so far

[sk8haggard9]

I actually found myself humming this today. easily the catchiest and best of the entries. pick this one!!

great job man

[Rancidska]

Very Motion City Soundtrack-y riffs

i like it!

[katierguitar]

by the way, best submission BY FAR. 100 stars for you! i hope he chooses this one

[katierguitar]

nice cowboys poster!

[ats5]

that bridge part in the first idea is def. cool

[danthewelch]

I dig it!

[12times24]

The last bit sounds like something off of Spending Time on the Boarder Line.

[12times24]

The last part sounds like something Ozma would have put on Spending Time at the Boarder Line.

[jakobdorof]

this was the best. choose this one, rivers!

[GDH471]

OMG

can you ever play!!!

[dare2k]

you made a lamer version of a weezer/bowling for soup song, so congrats because it actually sounds like a song that rivers would try to make.

thats a compliment

[sorryseed]

better vocals? don't be so modest

[Kimiko335]

your really good ^_^, the  the guitar riffs r really catchy and your voice is awesome too!

[isecret]

wow, kudos to you~ it's so cool hearing everyone's ideas. I wish I could write songs on my guitar
