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)

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)

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)

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)
