Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture M Average	#1 by M K-O at Oct 7, 1982 at 2:04 PM EST
	Whatever, I think these are the best lyrics by Hetfield. He has said that the song "least likes" to play is this one. Another reason for me to dislike him.

No Picture Lamb Of God Wor Average	#2 by Lamb Of God Worshiper at Jul 10, 1984 at 11:35 PM EST
	i agree with king nothing its just about wanting to live ur own way great song too

No Picture Alex Lead Player	#3 by Alex at Apr 28, 1988 at 3:51 AM EST
	i think he just can't sing the chorus very well live but not takin n e thing @ all away from the legend that is james hetfeild.awesum song from, in my opinion, is metallicas best album followed by master of puppets then and justice for all tho thats a tuff call then black album then kill em all. pretty hard 2 rank them tho, metallicas other albums aint worth rankin so i wont bother.

No Picture John Wanna Be	#4 by John Agopian at Oct 15, 1992 at 9:40 PM EST
	"i once printed out the lyrics of this fucking ace song and put loads of copies in my headteachers office, he was a fucking one minded fuck son of a bitch.i" Good job!

No Picture hamadi Wanna Be	#5 by hamadi alameddine at Mar 7, 1995 at 4:20 PM EST
	This is my second favorite Metallica song, next to Disposable Heroes. I do not know why James doesn't like playing this song. That suck. But yeah I agree with what most people said. It's about escaping from what people tell you to do and living a free life.

No Picture nick Average	#6 by nick coffeen at Apr 15, 2001 at 11:45 AM EST
	Yea, i dunno why they (or just james) dislike(s) playing this song live, its deffinetly a great song on a great album.
