I'm breaking my silence. I may get kicked out of several writer's unions, the State of New York, and my dinner club for posting this, but it needed to be done. Johnny decided to take matters into his own hands, fly to the West Coast, and film his own 3 Chords & the Truth without telling me. Well kids, I'm here to tell you - this shit just got real.
I've put together my own show, appropriately titled 1.5 Chords & the Truth with Echowood which will, no doubt, rapidly climb to the top of the YouTube viewing charts. So while Johnny hires actors to portray his "family," I'll be bringing you hard-hitting interviews. Let the games begin.
Oh, and Ivo ... you're treading on some thin ice my friend. Don't think I haven't noticed your insolence over the past month.

Best episode by far!
I'm Dave, and I endorse the hell out of an episode without that sellout Johnny Wright.
I too have been a victim of Johnny selling a buddy out.
I've got to say that was damn entertaining Echo.
Bravo, you talented bastard.
I like the new direction chords is taking! We always love explosions and boxed wine.
Echo, you and Johnny should settle your differences like men.
Jagermeister.
Shot for shot until someone collapses.
Sheriff - name the place and I'll be there. I'm pretty sure I can take the sweaty bastard shot for shot.
You son of a bitch...
Hell Yeah!!! Blow shit UP Man!!! Oh HELL yeah!!!
i don't know echo. those two new drinking buddies he found here on the west coast look like some hard drinking loggers. JW is likely to be in top drinking form.
most of all, be sure to take pics if you two are gona get in a pissin match that invloves jager.
1.5 chords is fucking clown shoes man.
If I may suggest some inspiration for Johnny's retort video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oN80al-7BI
Sweet intro. What is that, "Fanfare for the Common Douche?"
Echowood - if Neil Patrick Harris ever needs an understudy for Dr. Horrible, you are a shoe-in.
I can't believe I find the whole East Coast/West Coast 3C&T Beef extremely compelling.
And forget the Jager - I say Franzia shots until the box is empty.
It's typical of Johnny to assume that 3-chords was just about him. He thinks that growing a mustache and dressing like an 80's teen movie character makes the show. He also assumes that the general public is interested in that crap that he calls music while holding a replicated knock off guitar as a some sort of legitimizing prop.
Echo you are the gold. Enough of the homeless frank interviews formerly known as Three Chords and the Truth, Take it to the next level.
Bro, you fricken jumped into a moving car and saved the lives of many. Johnny pushed a dude that had already gotten his ass kicked by two dudes saving him from breaking a nail. You yell out "I'll save you!" while Johnny yell in his effeminate voice "call the cops there isth an asthault!"
Think about it, don't let him hold you back.
Leave Kobe behind.
Holy shit! Like Bigfoot and Ade Lincoln....it's a Dave sighting! Holy shit! Welcome back! (unless you've been around a while commenting and this is the first time I've noticed it....either case welcome back!)
I'm rather amazed it took this shot across Johnny's bow to bring Dave out from hiding.
Dave pops up, Attacks Johnny like he's Shinobi then vanishes into the wind again. This is probably the last we'll hear from him for a month. And all because he and Johnny disagreed over Gun Control.
such a shame.
This is better than the WWF Smackdown. Bring it on!
The explosions made me violate YBNBY Rule #1.
New keyboard is on order. Thanks Echo. Good luck with the 1/2 chords. Can I still be a guest star?
Thank you Bigus.
No, Pablo. It wasn't the gun control, it was the sell out that pushed me away.
I'm wondering who Baierman will stick with as guest host. Hopefully he will go with the talent.
Still don't have any idea what that means. No clue.
Perhaps you could look it up balogna tits.
Baierman, as a fellow East-Coaster, you're more than welcome to guest host whenever you'd like.
Please remove Bologna Tits from my last statement. It came of a little harsher than I would have liked it.
It was funny but I have no what you're all bent out of shape about.
You had me with From the Air II, I'm with you Echowood. Johnny is a pig-fucker.
I don't remember all the details it was a long time ago, I just remember you selling me out. So I left. I don't like getting sold out.
Adam, I don't know If I'd go that far.
Well that definitely sounds like something to be mad about.
Like W once said fool me once shame on fool me twice you aint gonna get fooled again.
Echo, can't wait. Perhaps we can do a joint episode about awesome DJ mixes of Dylan songs.
Or discuss the beauty of Papa Hemingways grand daughter Dree
Life's more colorful with Dave around.
Welcome back.
Or is it: Welcome Back?
I prefer "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."
GWB
LOL.
Best Chords ep yet. The narcissism was at epic levels, highly amusing.
Johnny, wow. you really managed to piss some people off.
So Dave, Are you back for good or what? we've missed your cranky ass around here y'know.
best bush quotes ever BTW:
"I couldn't imagine somebody like Osama bin Laden understanding the joy of Hanukkah."
"Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?"
and my personal favorite...
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
I Miss 'ol Bushie sometimes.
He's just misunderstood, really.
I have to say, I prefer 3 chords...I mean how exactly would you play one and half chords?
Bring JW back
hearing people talk about getting upset over what someone else says or thinks about them reminds me of what my gampa used to tell me when i would complain about getting my feelings hurt as a child. he'd say "rub some honey on your vag and the stinging will stop".
i miss grampa.
Curious, Phatty, when you rubbed honey on your vag did it work?
I of course have a schlong so that method does not help me.
Baier Pablo, I don't know how long I will be back.
i duno davaroosky, i just always thought of it as some funny shit gramps said.
but if i had a vag, i'd be rubbin that mutha. every female i've seen rubbing theirs seems to enjoy it, ALOT.
So, a friend, makes one mistake...and you turn on him.
Where I am from, that is a little shallow.
Have you not been thru thick and thin? Thru attacks and rescues?
Monkeys and Squirrels and drug crazed fiends?
We all know you just want to hear...."I love you, man!"
C'mon, you guys!
