as for writing songs, i think i'll stick to being the "b" in "mgb" as you so graciously put it in another thread. song writing isnt for me.

[the old guy]

I'm afraid to say, that in my opinion, the E7#9 chord sounds hideous.

Yeah, but dissonance is all about context. It's what you do before and after that makes it work. I love good 9 and 11 chords when they're used the right way.

 

Geoff - props on the bass on "Enjoy the Silence". I'm a big fan of reworking covers by being only moderately familiar with the original. (Though, in your case, being completely unfamiliar is kind of a bonus.) I hate it when bands use the exact same parts as the original and just try to use their "style" to make it different. It's way more interesting when a band can take the idea of a song and make it into something completely different, even when certain elements seem iconic.

 

Though, I have to admit, I may have to give the edge to Failure's version of "Enjoy the Silence", but maybe only because I heard it many years before the MGB version. (I think they were recorded around the same time, though.)
