Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture christian Average	#1 by christian parnell at Dec 20, 1974 at 3:57 PM EST
	anybody noticed how Dave crams all these ideas and riffs into the song before the actual verses start? more than some bands nowadays put into a whole album

No Picture kewl Wanna Be	#2 by kewl dude at Aug 10, 1975 at 7:52 AM EST
	The line, "Einstein said 'We'll use rocks on the other side'," is a reference to the quote by Albert Einstein quote: "The next World War will be fought with stones". The line, "The arsenal of Megadeth can't be rid of," appears to be sourced from a pamphlet by California Senator Alan Cranston which contains the statement: "The arsenal of megadeath can't be rid no matter what the peace treaties come to."

No Picture Michael Rhythm Player	#3 by Michael Roache at Jan 16, 1996 at 3:03 PM EST
	i noticed something weird with this song (unless i'm wrong because he meant to say it) there is one line that he says like this "Distorted figures walk the streets 1999" the lyrics on here and in the cd say 1989...anyway kick ass song!
