Says they never wrote a Four chord song "BirdPlane"

[Luka Dale]

The actual notes ar irrelevant, cause their different in every song. It's the intervals between the notes that makes it sound the same

[Whisker258]

They're, dumb fucker.

[firstdance2000]

The very first song chorded was from Journey "Don't Stop Believing" to which I wish they would have bookended the whole piece by ending with:)

[firstdance2000]

Sarcasm: Sometimes used to demonstrate frivolity and making light of for a point!

[firstdance2000]

That was a hit!

[evlshado]

ya but they aren't a rockband for 40 years either, they just play a rockband

[MrTriggerBlade]

Or a sign how simple music is... Though that's not really a bad thing. Song is good, why should something that makes people feel strong emotions be hard? Either a hum when you're bored or hanging out with hundreds people at a concert. It's fun for some annoying to others depending genre, but as we all enjoy it on some level.

MGMT-Kids

Can you read?

[xboxboy19]

it's a conspiracy!

[Gokkus87]

Yeah and they have also been a comedy rock band for close to 40 years now...it's comedy, that means not everything they say is true *gasp*

You can't watch once..... Am I not pretty enough!!!!!
