i do hope, and think, you were ironic about the swedes. I'm swedish myself. Just look at american bands, 99999 out of 100000 are fucking morons writing stupid mainstream "blink 182" punk rock. Allthou, 1 in 100000 are geniuses like the pixies were. Maybe this is true all over the world i don't know. If I were american i would salute any good non US band making it in the states (more the merrier)...jeees i hope you were ironic or else my image of the stupid redneck "i love SUM 41" American has come true.
Not that i think many americans on this board fit that description
ps. I'm not a big Hives fan, they do have some good songs |

i don't play guitar (there i admitted it  immediate banishment to follow no doubt) but it sounds like the chords in "IS THIS IT" by the Strokes are very similar to the chords in the 1st minute of "Where is my mind?".... so are the Strokes ripping off the pixies???? (instead of doooohh, daaahhhh, it goes daaahhh dooohhh (little faster than WIMM - get it?)
their 4th song - called "barely legaL" i think - reminds me of smashing pumpkins - mellon collie era - and kinda suggestive that the preceding song - soma - is named after a pumpkins song... anyone else get this feeling

i could go into a long explanation of all the ways you're confused regarding the songs being the same, aarjan, but i won't. i'll just say that you're wrong. if you really want to see for yourself:
http://www.guitaretab.com/t/the-strokes/24324.htm <-- tab for 'is this it'
http://www.guitaretab.com/p/pixies/14839.htm <-- 'where is my mind' tab (actually kinda crappy tab but i won't go into that)
'barely legal' doesn't really remind me of pumpkins at all.
'soma' is named after a drug. |
