Excellent shirt, if not exactly $25 worth of shirt. Hell, I'm wearing it now. I have to give props to Them for selling kids' large shirts for us scrawny still-waiting-for-puberty types.

Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2001 02:42:36 EST and i'm that somebody: Does anyone know the chords to Man its so loud in here? Yeah, I've played along. There's slight room for debate in the starting bars of the verses because its stripped back to minimal voicing - I like to think its pivoting between a C and a C with a raised 5th (augmented) but you could argue its C to F minor. The other slightly uncommon progression is the bridging bar between the chorus and the 'shouting something at us' part, which is an A flat. So, here's the ingredients by section, from which it shouldn't be too hard to assemble (meaning I haven't written every chord progression, but just contained the chord choices). Verse uses combinations of C; C(raised 5th); F; E minor; G Chorus uses F; G; C; D minor; and the bridging chord of A flat. the other bit uses D minor; G; E minor; and A 7th __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I'm pretty sure Linnell usually plays a baritone sax, but I >really couldn't tell you what he plays during "Yeh Yeh." Yeah, that's definitely a bariton sax he plays during "Yeh Yeh." In fact, as far as I know, he plays a bari live all the time. Has anyone ever seen him play anything else? And that's really too bad about it getting stolen... That sax cost him $5000, easy. Baris are not cheap, and he had a very nice one. :( Stupid people. -- Rachel ------------------------------ End of tmbg-list Digest #47-29 ******************************
