Motley Crue - If I Die Tomorrow
The Crue Is Back!!
Dropped d tuning - Everybody's guitar is gonna be tuned differently, so if you want to
play along with the song, tune your higher D string to the 3rd fret note in the
intro...its a nice clear note to tune to. Then you can tune the rest of your strings
from there. Overall its a pretty simple song, sounds cool, and fun to play. Im not too
sure about the pre-choruses, and I left out the short solo in the ending chorus because
its friggen impossible to hear all the notes.

| Trinn55: Also, the cliff thing (On Nikki's part) referres to the overdose of Heroin he took, and the light is him being taken back from death. | |

| Mick Mars is the second person in the film clip. I think it is about how he has a disease that is killin him. The last one was Nikki Sixx and I think its gotta do with how he died but was revived and brought back to life. I think thats how it goes, not too sure tho. | |

| Anybody watch the video to this song? I was watching it yesterday and noticed something. In case you haven't seen it, it has a woman in an art museum looking at many paintings when each Motley Crue member pulls her in some of them. Here's what I noticed: What is going on in the MC's painting world reflects on the roughest parts of their lives. Vince Neil: He's driving in a car with the chick and it appears he's driving real fast and the chick is freaking out. Didn't Vince get in a car wreck that killed someone? Nikki Sixx: He is in a coffin where he's dead and the chick appears as a nurse and she plunges a needle into his heart bringing him back to life. Any Crue fan should know what this is about. Tommy Lee: It appears he's in a jail cell and he's screaming as if in pain or agony. He did serve some time for beating up Pamela Lee when they were married. Mick Mars: This is one I don't know about. He is standing at the end of a cliff with wings on him and falls off as the wings fall of themselves and the chick tries to save him. Has anything similar to this happened to Mick? Interesting, huh? | |

| this is a great song! well written, even though it's co written by simple plan(simpleplan is ok). the music video is good, it captures their low point for vince, it was the 84' car crash in which resulted in the loss of his friend razzle, for mick it's the battle with his disease ankylosing spondylitis (in the video mick is the one getting chest hit by the nurse not nikki). for tommy it was being locked in jail, and for nikki it was his heroin addiction(hence him walking thru a valley of burning spoons in the video) which took his life for 2minutes and was brought back to life(hence him walking off the cliff and floating back up cause he was on the edge of death from his addiction). the line "cant remember have i said all i can say?" gets u to start thinking, if u were gonna die tomorrow have u told everybody how u feel, have u said all that u can say to the world?. really great song | |

Has anything similar to this happened to Mick? " actually if you look close on that one the flames surrounding him are on spoons which is hinting at drugs for him. good song alot of meaning to it and kinda emotional considering who it is......you go from girls girls girls to if i die tomorrow | |
