I like how you properly emphasized Queen's influence on MCR. I dare to say that Welcome to the Black Parade is the millennial's equivalent to Bohemian Rhapsody.
I love those Chris Liepe videos. They always and up in "uaaaaghhhr" Uaaaarghhgggg". I know he's good, but every video I'm just waiting for him to go there
I'm a sucker for oblique motion-chords. Sounds great with vocal-harmonies, too. What makes the minor IV-chord great is, it creates a descending chromaticism from the 6th to the 5th of the root-chord. Also, you can contrast this with the regular major IV, and have a simple but effective chord-change. This song also uses it very well. So far still my favorite-song from you.
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your process on making the song! The insight on this video is insane! You have all the reasons to be proud of this song Trey! What an amazing work !
One thing I like is that you also added those sprinkles of cryptic lyrics Gerard will add. Another thing is that MCR is known for their albums being concept albums and I could totally the song see the song belonging to a larger narrative. I also like how in this song and also every MCR song, it's the second verse that has the best lyricism.
Not sure if anyone on this or the original video mentioned Save Face’s album Another Kill For The Highlight Reel - they basically figured out all this stuff and did a whole brilliant album of it
Super fun song and a great lesson in tension building and resolution. I'm really grateful for it. Another piece in the puzzle. Less about how to get the sound and more about how to make the song make an impact. Very nice.
@@treyxaviermusic yeah I could see that, I was really impressed. I have the tendency to not really think how all the different parts can fit together, not only harmonically but also rhythmically. Also cannot mix for shit so keep mine to a minimum. 😂
Absolutely loved the original song and learning about these little parts you added just makes it all the more impressive, great job as always man, and for a future one of these I would absolutely love a vid on System of a Down
If you can do this for Tool in a 25 minute video, maybe share your secrets with the band so each album doesn't take a decade for them to complete. Thanks!
it wasn't a new song. It was one of their many songs they used to write their album songs. The new song you're referring to was the precursor to House of Wolves.
