Talk:Marquee Moon (song)

Complex Key Changes?

Except for the chorus, almost this entire song uses the chords D and Bm. I find it hard to believe that due to a tricky chorus (of a rather short duration) that Hell left the band because he simply couldn't play the song. I imagine more likely is the tension created when a populist sort of guy like Hell plays with a technical player like Verlaine, they both end up going their separate ways. To make a long story short, there needs to be some cited evidence that this is why Hell left. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.81.108.72 (talk) 14:14, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I've added a "citation needed" tag. The Richard Hell article states he either quit or was fired after a dispute over creative control. Grievous Angel (talk) 08:38, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mixolydian

The chorus riff and both solos are pure mixolydian. It's misleading to imply that only Verlaine's solo uses the mixolydian scale. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.48.117.37 (talk) 07:07, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, I introduced the "mixolydian" because "jazz-like" sounded a bit vague (I still don't like it). The entire song is purely mixolydian. I am planning to publish a classification of the modes of this album, in my blog page.--Daniel (talk) 10:20, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
