Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Josh Average	#1 by Josh at Feb 22, 2007 at 1:49 AM EST
	This is one of my all time favorite songs by Metallica. Especially the solo. And the power of the James's vocals during the verse are so damn awesome.

No Picture A.K.A. Steven Average	#2 by A.K.A. Steven Stelacio at Feb 26, 2007 at 11:06 AM EST
	Readers of H.P. Lovecraft will recognize the referrences to the Cthonian mythos. The thing which should not be is Cthulu, and Apocolyptic elder God lying in a dream state within his sunken kingdom of R'lyeh.

No Picture RoBsN Average	#3 by RoBsN Stalder at Mar 4, 2007 at 12:13 AM EST
	Rebbal Ace is the first person I've seen correctly spell "Cthulhu" when referring to this song or to "The Call Of Ktulu". Haha. And no, Live_in_my_attic, the "hybrid children" bit is meant to be taken literally. It's about humans who interbreed with underwater humanoids called The Deep Ones, and these hybrids all live in a port town called Innsmouth. The narrator of the story goes to the town and then realises that he too is a hybrid, and goes to live under the sea.

No Picture spencer Wanna Be	#4 by spencer mccarthy at Mar 17, 2007 at 5:33 AM EST
	I remember hearing this for the first time when i bought Master Of Puppets, and the haunting aura of the song never changed since then, every time i listen to it. The solo's awesome, just like everyone else has been saying. I also remember seeing James singing this once on Binge and Purge. The power of those goddamn vocals rock!

No Picture robert Average	#5 by robert liedberg at Aug 10, 2007 at 7:42 PM EST
	I don't know why anybody wouldn't like this song. It's so awesome, and I love the solo. What's really cool is when Hetfield sings "drain you of your sanity" on S&M
