assistant: Hi!
I have an old tape here, and I don't know who's singing. Maybe you can help
me.
I just know the names of two songs. Stairway to heaven and Dust in the wind.
and one of the songs goes like this:
--
It's been a lifetime, since I found someone since I found someone who would
stay I waited too long, and now you're leaving hope this don't take it all
away
--
Stairway to heaven was written by Led Zeppelin and Dust in the Wind was
written by Kansas. I know Far Corporation have one version of Stairway to
heaven, but I don't think this is Far Corporation.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hey Daniel, the easiest way to that is to use modified scales.  This means
that use, for example, a regular pentatonic scale with a few different notes.
Obviously, you need to use the particular key to make it fit. Say you want to
solo over Amaj7 type of chord progession use a Lydian Modified Pentatonic
Scale which consists of (A,B,C#,E,E#).  It'll fit perfectly since a Amaj7
chord consists of (A,E,G,C#,G,A).  Plus it'll sound a little exotic.

AA> Shows what talent it took to write the song! (oh wow 3 notes)

Write your reply.

assistant: I'm not a big fan of Hanson or pop music for that matter, but it I must say
that despite the fact that the song only has a couple of chords it does take
talent to write a song that people like.  Look at the Beatles.  Most of their
songs are really basic chord progessions.  Daniel Johns of Silverchair when
he was interviewed during the Much Music Intimate and Interactive said,
"Simple is best."  I agree with him.  The most common problem with
ambitious,
songwriting wannabes" is that they think songs should be the most complex
extravagant thing in world jam-packed with 50 billion different riffs, fills,
and solos.  Try to write something as decent a Hanson has and maybe you'll be
rich and famous as well.

Write your reply.

assistant: Most fans of metal seem to have tunnel vision.  They tend to think that a
song must have heavy shredding riffs with "killer" fast leads.  By the end of
the 80s and earlier 90s everything started to become generic - same old thing
time and time again without any major changes.  Variety (along with
experimentation) is the spice of life as the saying goes.
Some people call Metallica "sell outs" but I would have to disagree.  They
re
simply evolving and changing the definition of Metal.  And it seems that
etal
has lost its meaning - now the catagory is too broad.  Bands that put out
heavy metal albums in the past are far from that label now.  Metallica and
now Megadeth (with Cryptic Writings) sound unlike anything they previously
were.
Load is definitely a great albums.  I have only one peeves about it:  Lar's
overuse of the 'splash' symbal on a couple of songs.  But thats about it.
Hetfield was, (I dont know if you know this or not), really into country
usic
at the time Load was being conceived.  He had to write something that
reflexed this:  Mama Said.  Not my favourite song in the world, but if you're
into country then maybe..

Write your reply.

assistant: What are you talking about?  Mustaine played a big part in writing some of
the material for Kill Em All:  Hit the Lights,  Seek and Destroy,  The Four
Horsemen.. The list goes on.
Secondly,  Metallica did not give him permission, like Mustaine was their
bitch or something.  He was an active member.  In fact he was too active:
He played lead, wanted to sing as well, and was getting too much attention
from the fans which ultimately had him booted out.  Hetfield and Lars
were simply jealous of him.

assistant: Have you ever listened to TOOL?  Their songs are so screwed up in terms of
structure.  But I love the 'break all boundaries' philosophy.  Some of their
songs have 2 chorus' which is definitely uncommon.  And in the lyrics are
completely out of this world:  usually free verse.. they throw in the
occasional couplet or whatever..
