Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture The other James Wanna Be	#1 by The other James Molina at Mar 17, 1977 at 9:24 AM EST
	why do people hate this song so much? It was the first song I heard off of st anger (dont ask) and i fell inlove with it.

No Picture cody Average	#2 by cody champion at Jul 19, 1987 at 6:29 AM EST
	This song makes me angry, and not in a good way. Arctica, I diddnt think the drumming was that bad, (not great either) it was the shity production and the way the drums were tuned that made it sound so crap

No Picture Dylan Average	#3 by Dylan Ruiz at Dec 27, 1989 at 7:12 AM EST
	My friends always tell me that I like the worst Metallica songs, but then again I have one that likes Sweet Amber... Anyway, this song is about reaching out to people to help you and about all the past mistakes and sins that you wish you could be rid of. I like this song and I think that's what it is about along with the cleansing of one's soul of all the stains. But so much in the religious sense. I don't see Metallica writing a song about Jesus. The turpentine and such words are to refer to their obvious cleaning capabilites, and I have often said, after seeing something I rather I didn't, that I wish I had turpentine to pour in my eyes to clean them.

No Picture the white hendr Badass	#4 by the white hendrix at Sep 16, 1995 at 8:52 AM EST
	I heard that this song is supposed to be a love song, but i dont really see it....

No Picture Guitar Master Wanna Be	#5 by Guitar Master J at Jan 16, 1999 at 6:33 PM EST
	Dunno why people hate this song so much. It could've been better yeah, but otherwise, Purify is a fucking great song. And the lyrics are wrong. It's not "pure if I", it's "Purify", geez.
