On mtv live leak Chris mentions that What If is...

 

"the first song where we've tried this weird chord thing

thats too geeky to go on about.."

 

i'm curious as to what this weird chord thing is..

 

anyone?

yeah so am i, i remember him talking about that

i think the video of the mtv leak gig is available in the multimedia section. will have to have a look

Maybe the part just before they break out into the chorus, where the guitar goes all phunky and says "baw-eee-ow"

may be talking about the incredible build up at the very end of the song...goes up like the whole scale...incredibly brilliant.

yeah, I think they mean the Beatles type chord thing that they used in the song - from 'The End' by the Beatles (the bit that is tagged to the end of 'A Day In The Life')

I GET IT. that beatles thing.. okay.. i see. thank you.
