Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Winterborn Average	#1 by Winterborn at Sep 26, 2007 at 12:52 AM EST
	Fuck you all, this song is better done by Hot Water Music the ones that wrote the song.Although hwm wouldent mind that alk3 covered it especially because they made theres sound better. But i will always like alk3 i just like hwm alot more . This song is not about smoking weed, well mabe the alk3 version is but not the hot water musics rooftops. nothing aginst smoking or alk3 I love to smoke weed. but i wouldnt take a song about something and turn it into a weed song.

No Picture Juandiego Rhythm Player	#2 by Juandiego Schubnell at Sep 26, 2007 at 1:22 AM EST
	Nickman, what do you mean hwm wouldn't mind? they released this song on a hwm/alk3 split. do you not think that hwm knows alk3 did the cover of this song? and who cares which version is better? it's a good song both ways.

No Picture Shredmaster Average	#3 by Shredmaster Will at Sep 26, 2007 at 3:28 AM EST
	where is the "SMOKE WEED!" at, i have been trying to find it and cant

No Picture cody Average	#4 by cody champion at Sep 26, 2007 at 9:30 AM EST
	yea, I agree that alk3 tends to make hwm songs sound better, but personally I much prefer the hwm version of "bleeder" to the alk3 one, although they're both really really amazing songs. same with radio, although the all-time best version of that song is the live one with chris conley of saves the day

No Picture jakadict Average	#5 by jakadict the brave at Sep 26, 2007 at 10:25 AM EST
	i like the alkaline trio's version to this song than hot water music. i think its more catchy and you definitely cant go wrong with a band like alkaline trio

No Picture Jason Rhythm Player	#6 by Jason at Sep 27, 2007 at 10:35 AM EST
	...Until I get the sun and your lips both pressing on my skin....great verse

No Picture Tradition Average	#7 by Tradition Funk at Sep 27, 2007 at 2:51 PM EST
	anyone else hear the "SMOKE!... WEED!" near the end?

No Picture Razor Wanna Be	#8 by Razor Edge at Sep 28, 2007 at 8:38 PM EST
	I don't really know what the hell all of you are talkin' about: This isn't a HWM-Song and now, this song was never released on a Split-CD or somethin'... ALk3 only covered Rooftrops...

No Picture Brennan Wanna Be	#9 by Brennan unknown at Sep 29, 2007 at 12:24 AM EST
	I think this is the only song I really like off the new album. But I think that Alkaline Trio's older stuff is a lot better. From what I've heard of their new album, I'm not too fond of it. But, they're a great band, though.

No Picture Dusty Wanna Be	#10 by Dusty Delonge at Sep 30, 2007 at 11:42 AM EST
	isn't it "i've got the SCARS to remind me..."? and i always thought i heard "SMOKE! WEED!" too. but i don't think they tried to make this a "weed song". i don't know...this song kicks a lot of ass, i prefer the alk3 version myself, mostly because i like matt skiba's voice better, but they're both good

No Picture mongoose Average	#11 by mongoose jones at Oct 1, 2007 at 8:57 AM EST
	Good song...great band. :) I "You know all my favorite singers Have stolen all of my best lines" sooo true

No Picture Failure by Desi Average	#12 by Failure by Design at Oct 1, 2007 at 6:06 PM EST
	yea i thought i heard that too

No Picture By-Tor Wanna Be	#13 by By-Tor at Oct 1, 2007 at 8:20 PM EST
	queen of pain is NOT a hwm cover! niether is this as far as i know i really dont like this song...except the "someday i'll burn this bed, only two feet wide" reffering to cremation

No Picture Shreder Dude Wanna Be	#14 by Shreder Dude at Oct 1, 2007 at 8:23 PM EST
	queen of pain is NOT a hwm cover, as far as i know, niether is this "someday i'll burn this bed, only 2 feet wide" refers to cremation of his coffin....the only part of this song i really like and 'you know all my favorite singers and have stolen all my best lines" i really dont like this song

No Picture Raina Wanna Be	#15 by Raina Pink at Oct 2, 2007 at 1:48 PM EST
	Blue Carolina isn't a HMW cover, i don't think..

No Picture Francesco Lead Player	#16 by Francesco DeVito at Oct 2, 2007 at 7:27 PM EST
	the alkaine version is so much better then the hotwater one. but either way this is a kick ass song.

No Picture Millhouse Wanna Be	#17 by Millhouse van Houten at Oct 3, 2007 at 1:10 AM EST
	yeah, i heard it. all in all, this song is amazing one of my top favorite alk3 songs

No Picture Andrew Wanna Be	#18 by Andrew Tedder at Oct 3, 2007 at 8:35 AM EST
	It's still alkaline trio even if it's a cover, alk3 tends to make Hot Water Music songs sound better

No Picture Nic Average	#19 by Nic Bosco at Oct 3, 2007 at 11:36 AM EST
	ok how about this NO MATTER WHO WROTE THE SONG ITS FUCKING GOOD and by the way ALK3 coverd rooftops, queen of pain, and if i remember right THIS SONG......anyways i see this song as a long distance relationship type of song where you cant wait to be with the person again and it sucks or you can see it as a drug song actually the line "someday ill burn this bed for the next 17 days" you can kinda relate to drug addicts but i love this song BOTH VERSIONS cuz well i can.

No Picture YFLBassplayer Wanna Be	#20 by YFLBassplayer at Oct 3, 2007 at 8:48 PM EST
	good little ditty ... pretty catchy

No Picture Keith Wanna Be	#21 by Keith Pearson at Oct 3, 2007 at 8:55 PM EST
	Ive never heard "SMOKE WEED" at the end of it! I have Good Mourning the album and its one of my favourites Im not sure totally of the meaning cos music is poetry!

No Picture Cam Wanna Be	#22 by Cam Reck at Oct 4, 2007 at 3:15 AM EST
	1) nobody says smoke weed 2) THIS IS NOT A HOT WATER MUSIC SONG. i am a big fan of both bands, and i have never heard it. nor can i find any evidence online that this was ever done by hot water music.. somebody prove this to me because right now it just seems like you're all full of shit 1 2 3 Next

No Picture woody!! Professional	#23 by woody!! woody!! at Oct 4, 2007 at 6:34 AM EST
	um...AlkalineThursday, you do realize this isn't an alk3 song, dont you?

No Picture Nate Average	#24 by Nate Shipley at Oct 4, 2007 at 9:07 PM EST
	Besides "southern rock" this is my other fav AT song...the lyrics are so poetic and amazing for a concept so simple as missing a relationship you had and thinking about it during summer nights that are soo long

No Picture chris Average	#25 by chris nagel at Oct 5, 2007 at 7:46 PM EST
	this is a good song, but i like the way skiba's old vocals sound, and i
