Shamelessly pinched from B3TA -

Okay, some of them aren't quite right, but it's fun.
I reckon you could add Heart's Alone and Alice Cooper's Poison to that lot..

[Razor]

That's pretty cool.

There are only twelve notes in music. Some songs are going to sound alike.

[atomic charvel guy]

That's the beauty of music, how many tunes did the Stones and the who get out of 2 or 3 chords? Big number there.

Coldplay can use these videos to destroy Satriani in court.

So, theoretically, we can take one of our guitars going through XX pedals through a cab the size of the Empire State Building using those chords and it will sound like a hundred other songs? Granted I know I've heard many that sound similar, and I have a pretty good ear, but none that are dead on like that link. Do they have a metal version of that video? My 2 cents.

Oh yeah, Natalie Imbruglia is friggin hot. (2 cents again) ;-)

[Spivonious]

That is such a basic progression that I'm sure there are 1000000s of songs with it. Pretty much every piece of music written in the 1700s used it heavily.

I-V-vi-IV

That's why music is not defined by the chords it uses. It's a combination of chords, rhythm, melody, timbre, orchestration, and a hundred other things.

true that brother

Point taken...assimilated... :-(

[Ben...]

Judas Priest immediately comes to mind. I swear the whole Screaming For Vengeance album was made around four chords.

[Donovan]

Doesn't Randy play that same progression on Tonight during the chorus?
There are surely jillions of songs with that progression.

[Nuclear Vampire]

Do they have a metal version of that video?

That Metal that sounds like other Metal video was crazy cool!
It is weird how those all do sound like each other.
