THE KING OF SUNSET TOWN

Here is a rough interpretation of the King of Sunset Town
as it appears in the album Seasons End. I don't have my
guitar with me, so there might be a few memory errors.

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture R.I.P Dimebag D Professional	#1 by R.I.P Dimebag Darrell at Apr 2, 1982 at 6:28 AM EST
	I take this to be about Elvis, and as the previous post says - ...and others like him. The title lends a clue, and the passage in the middle "People you touch... People you don't know..." Seems to protray a long career where your old fans fade away and new ones have an expectation that you can't escape. A longer career than Kurt Cobain had. In the context of Elvis, the line "They send you pictures of yourself, It's someone you don't know" - takes on a double-meaning - Elvis impersonators, and becoming such a caricature that you don't even see yourself anymore.

No Picture Lenny Judd (Pap Wanna Be	#2 by Lenny Judd (Papa Smurf) at Jan 8, 1992 at 9:28 PM EST
	I believe this song has a reference to Kurt Cobain, and others like him, seeing as it came out not long after his death...brilliant song...

No Picture chOxY Rhythm Player	#3 by chOxY at Mar 5, 1997 at 8:53 PM EST
	yes.. i think its something like that. In the accoustic version of this song on the "Unplugged at the Walls" album, they dedicate this song to the famous German football player/manager Jürgen Klinsmann. I dont know why they do that.
