Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques

No Picture kyle Average	#1 by kyle burnett at Aug 6, 1974 at 2:51 PM EST
	awesome fuckin song, me and my band did a cover of this, and its a fucking adrenilin rush playing it...i love it.

No Picture Dylan Average	#2 by Dylan Rolfe at Mar 21, 1977 at 8:40 AM EST
	i agree with if we had a chance to reconstruct and make things better what will we do...we should do that because it will get worse and we need to swim. but what does this part mean? "Blanked out fire etched on the crystal display"

No Picture SpookydOOm!!1 Wanna Be	#3 by SpookydOOm!!1 at Sep 2, 1987 at 12:39 PM EST
	the lyrics mean to me that they youth of today are the rulers of the world and we have th chance to rebuild it better but head for destruction anyways and one person struggleing against it all "The sees are deep You better swim Don't go numb...The sees are deep You better swim Don't go numb"

No Picture Kev Rhythm Player	#4 by Kev at Dec 12, 2000 at 12:56 PM EST
	Incredible openign riff, and the lyrics are amazign aswell, i agree with Jester666

No Picture Daniel Average	#5 by Daniel Sheppard at Apr 25, 2005 at 11:05 PM EST
	^^ Yeh, confuzzling. Jester 666 pretty much sums up the meaning of the song methinks. Astonishing guitar I agree... 1
