Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture yomomma!! Wanna Be	#1 by yomomma!! at Sep 27, 2007 at 5:26 AM EST
	Actually, having said that, I can't remember if it was a quarry or a vacant lot... I think Randy picked "The Black Dahlia" as the title, because that crime perfectly sums up morbid facination. Not only in the manner in which she was murdered (pieces of her skin were cut off, her cheek was slashed open, she was cut in half, while still alive and then drained of her blood), but also the way in which she has taken on an almost cultish status, particularly among the alternative music scene. I feel that this title was chosen because Randy feels that mankind is every bit as groteque as this crime.

	We as Humans are a fucked up species, I have to agree with that statement. -_- But...I have yet another Theory. We as a Society may not even exist. Earth may be a figment of imagination. We may not even exist.

No Picture cody Rhythm Player	#3 by cody watts at Oct 6, 2007 at 6:45 AM EST
	I think Randy is talking about how humans are a fucked up species and that people who talk about the intrinsic (sp?) goodness of mankind, have their heads up their asses. I love the line; "I am the ones & the zeros that control commerce".

No Picture ben Rhythm Player	#4 by ben kurkul at Oct 7, 2007 at 7:02 AM EST
	On January 15, 1947, a passerby spotted her nude body in a vacant lot near Hollywood. Her body, cut in half, was bruised and beaten and she had reportedly been sodomized after death. Rumors of henna in her hair and BD carved into her body, as of yet to this outlet, have not been verified.....yep thats the BD murder...

No Picture keith Wanna Be	#5 by keith mckinlay at Oct 12, 2007 at 12:00 PM EST
	im not sure what this songs meens. im also not sure how someone can understand the lyrics just by listening to them, but good song.

No Picture TonkpilS Average	#6 by TonkpilS at Oct 13, 2007 at 3:38 AM EST
	Yeah, i agree with you, quiff. I pretty much expect everyone here to know about The Black Dahlia Murder (the disgusting crime, not the band), but that's obviously where the title came from.....

No Picture dylan Average	#7 by dylan markus at Oct 15, 2007 at 12:59 PM EST
	The body of Elizabeth Short, a bit-part actress, known as 'Black Dahlia' was found chopped in half in a quarry , in the 1940's and a string of innocent people began confessing to the crime (something like 55 people confessed in total), but the killer was never found.
