Freddie's Cliché

I agree fail wasn't the right word, but you know what I mean

Wha huh?

I'm lost.

(700th post woooo!)

And I thought Freddie's cliché was the he was gay.

"And I thought Freddie's cliché was the he was gay."

LOL ;-)

This isn't a freddie-cliche but a music-cliche. It's used everywhere and sounds nice, and is really good for chord-changes. It's like saying the chord D is a cliche, og playing in 4/4 time is a cliche. It sounds good, and is one of the basics of music.

you're right. it's hard for me though to find a composer who has "abused" of that cliché so much as Freddie.

Well then you're not good at searching. There are millions who used it more.

can you tell me some of those millions?

search for any of those chord progressions you listed in the beginning on google, like this "D > A/C# > Bm"
And you will find thousands of songs!

Paul Simon in Simon and Garfunkel uses it often, John Lennon used it all the time, Paul McCartney, REM, The Cure, Neil Young, Pete Townshend.... I could go on and on

That's what I wanted, thanks monster (even though that list is not even close to "millions")

No problem, Seb. You know I can't bother with listing 100s of artists.

Try "every song U2 ever wrote is based around the A scale".

And you know what? They sound really good!

Sebastian, I have a question regarding your info on "Stealin'":

It says that Brian played the Red Special, but I thought he played steel guitar. Am I wrong?
