Nothing Too Serious   40 Years Live   Icehouse chords
Start Jamming...
There was a period where, for example, if we had to do an encore, we would perform Man of Colours,
which seems like a nice way to kind of end, a calm way to end an evening, but I think those
days are well and truly gone.
I cannot imagine not kind of ending a show with something as frenetic
as Nothing Too Serious.
It's perfect, and it's perfect for us too, because we have to lift our
game.
We have to find the extra bit of energy to get through that song, and it's always enjoyable.
You know what I've found I've done?
When I first started playing, I stuck to everything,
basically everything the same as the albums, because I just wanted to do the parts and keep
the job, basically.
But over, how many years is it now?
30 years or something?
Over 30 years,
I've gradually put a couple of drum fills here and there, or cymbals here and there.
I hate to use the term balls to the wall, but that's Nothing Too Serious.
It's just about
let's go, you know?
And it's got this really cool 50s guitar, little
[B] at the end, which is great [N] fun to play too.
So I look forward to that.
It's got these cool sax
bits that happen around it.
It again is this sort of this great collection of all of these
pieces that come together.
It's probably hung together by the piano part that sits in the
midst of it.
But I've done this thing where you've got this tricky little way of the chord shifting
to another.
I don't know how to explain it musically.
Glennie will be able to tell you.
He's the musical genius.
Nothing Too Serious is a lot of fun, you know, lots of brassy lines and
again, a whole bunch of tenor sax.
Matt, sorry.
It is getting really hot in here.
Thanks.
[G#m]
Yeah, I think these are
Do you know how much these [G#] are, Tim?
$19.99. [F#] I think they are
I think if you get in, if you buy two, I think you get one at half price or something like that.
Ivan knows the deal.
[A#] Anyway, yeah, lots of saxophone to play in that.
It's a really good
kind of party way to start winding up the set.
Nothing Too Serious is the song that always
gives me a forearm cramp because the part is just relentless.
It's a relentless piano part.
So it's quite fun, but you kind of need to, you know, use your core muscles and
focus all the way through it to get through it.
But it's a very, very, very cool song.
