Some argue that rock videos have all but replaced live performances.
But as Gene Wolfe found out, the day videos take the place of performing for the Cars,
that'll be the day the Boston-based band says quit.
[C] Beat all night, if anyone
[Am] Don't know nobody, but Dickie Boston, [C] shake it up
The Cars have always been known for their [Am] distinctive musical style,
and they're now gaining a [Bb] reputation for [A] distinctive [G] videos.
[Am] The latest for their song, You [D] Might Think, uses some of the newest technical effect.
But Rick O'Kasich, [G] leader of the Cars, isn't a fan of this [Am] visualized music.
I [N] think the most important thing is your imagination when you hear a song.
And I think when you hear it on the radio or on your own record,
you imagine what that song means to you.
And when you do a video, you get locked into a visual idea of how it's interpreted.
And I think that's very dangerous.
[C] Videos are a necessity for a successful rock [F] group.
The Cars try to [Dm] avoid producing predictable [G] visualizations
by using directors who bring [Dm] a unique look to the screen.
[Db] Andy Warhol is producing the video for a new Cars single, Hello Again.
We [Ab] just have really great [F] kids working with us.
And
[C] it's just sort of a group of people working, and we just do things.
And whatever happens, works out.
I've tried to use directors that have never done videos
[Bm] and tried to make sure that their view on what that particular song represented
was surreal enough to not really depict it literally.
For all [A] the flash of the [G] group's videos, they have a [D] reputation for uneven live performance.
[G] Do the videos work against you in [N] that they set up an expectation of the group
that a live performance can't live up to?
Live is totally different than records and totally different than videos.
When you go to see a live performance, you just go to see what happens.
You go to see the mistakes, and you go to see the good things.
If I feel terrible, it'll be terrible.
And that's the way I'll have to accept it.
[D] If I feel great, it'll be great.
You must think I'm [G] loose
[A] The way I run
[D] I don't [N] wake up in the morning and think I'm a rock star or anything like that.
However, that's the tag they'll give me, thoughts.
Accept it, but I don't remember the [G] questions, so I'll stop with that.
