Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Terence Average	#1 by Terence Taylor at Feb 1, 1972 at 2:12 PM EST
	wow, congrats 6th sadistic sniper, you're good at this!

No Picture Bassdude Average	#2 by Bassdude at Nov 27, 1974 at 12:30 PM EST
	Sniper's and Ddadutta's meanings both seem very logical. I can't really decide on whose theory I agree on more. But one thing's for sure, the killer/rapist idea is definitely prominent. At the moment this is probably my favourite Opeth song.

No Picture chris Average	#3 by chris nagel at Apr 20, 1998 at 2:13 AM EST
	I agree with sadisric sniper on this one awesome song

No Picture Maggot Man Wanna Be	#4 by Maggot Man at Apr 12, 2001 at 7:36 PM EST
	sadistic sniper sounds right. i never could figure out much of the story behind blackwater park so i didnt really think there was one. not my favorite album by opeth anyways, although it has its gems. the riff that plays while he's screaming "rain washing clean all the sins" is heavy as hell and makes me want to go kick some ass.
