Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Matthew Average	#1 by Matthew Spencer at Apr 30, 1980 at 4:31 PM EST
	He killed 9 men in war and knows it was wrong. But now he won't continue and flee home, even though he knows everyone will think him a coward, blame him and most probably kill him. But he'll die anyway and does not want to kill another one.

No Picture Badass	#2 by Nirvana at Jun 22, 1985 at 12:22 AM EST
	this song is so awsome holy shit i cant evan explain

No Picture cody Average	#3 by cody champion at May 23, 1991 at 3:24 PM EST
	maybe its like columbine. the murderer that commited suicide 1st. there were 9 boys killed, and he had just killed 1, 8 before. then he killed himself, thus deeming himself "the 10th man down" i really dunno, but i dont like the song because nightwish has the best songs, but the guns in the background sucks out all the nightwish aspect.

No Picture Klint Average	#4 by Klint flowers at Sep 7, 1992 at 1:30 AM EST
	This song.. is about what war does to people... it's a soldier's lament about his life.. awesome song... and I think i've seen the video that Rider is talkin about.. and I don't think that's the official video... (let me rephrase that I KNOW it's not the official video) some fan of Gundam 8th MS Team made it.. and it is a good video ONLY if you have seen it. But the song rocks no matter what.

No Picture sharon Wanna Be	#5 by sharon howell at Feb 5, 1994 at 7:07 PM EST
	ya'll should watch the video someone made on three days grace to this song, IT FUCKING AWSOME!!! check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttRKHaAvNQk be sure to leave your comments, i'm sure she'll like it :)

No Picture Dan Average	#6 by Dan Johnson at Apr 2, 1998 at 1:40 AM EST
	This song defiantly kicks ass! I first heard it in an Anime Music Video (the video you guys were talking about), it's a pretty good AMV, but now I just love the song in it's own right, and I'm really starting to like Nightwish in general. This song certainly has a great combination of High Female and Low Male vocals and of-course great Rock Music! I don't completely understand all the lyrics though (can anyone offer a more detailed explanation?) Specifically what exactly does he mean by "the great white hunter", if I remember correctly this was a term used in the 19th century to describe European Colonialists who would go to Africa and Hunt "big game", but what does it mean in this song? And what does "10th patriot at the gallow´s pole!" refer to? Is it perhaps that he is going to be Hanged for being a coward? (Because he can't take anymore war?)

No Picture Trent Average	#7 by Trent Zelasney at Oct 15, 2004 at 4:17 AM EST
	I heard this from a final fantasy video and I fell in love with the drumming in it!

No Picture jacob Average	#8 by jacob ap at Mar 24, 2005 at 5:30 PM EST
	I agree here, this isn't an official video, just a montage done by some guy who distributes it on the Internet. Oh and the song rocks big time. The song is about the horror of war and the moral choice and contradiction between to kill or be killed: "I´d kill them all to save my own " "Obey to kill to save yourself "
