Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques

Matt Average	#1 by Matt Waas at Jul 17, 1977 at 3:45 PM EST
	this one is really hard to interpret, but i think Cooljgb's interpretation makes pretty good sense. especiallly the "if you dont like him, fuck you" part, cuz phil is tha baddest muthafucker alive.

♥brian Lead Player	#2 by ♥brian♥ ******** at Dec 21, 1986 at 7:29 PM EST
	i think phils talking about his life and saying that hes awesome because he worked to get where he is and that no one has the right to take it away from him, and that if you dont like him, fuck you

robert Average	#3 by robert liedberg at Jan 23, 1987 at 1:34 AM EST
	this song is so good, i've got no words for it to descripe the feelings i get when i hear it

No Picture TOm Wanna Be	#4 by TOm HIrsch at Jul 2, 1988 at 10:45 AM EST
	whooooooooo 'nuff sed yet agen

Murders in the Average	#5 by Murders in the Rue Morgue at Aug 16, 1993 at 1:56 AM EST
	This is such an awsome tune. This song got me into Pantera

James Wanna Be	#6 by James Makowiecki at Aug 20, 1996 at 6:12 AM EST
	I think this song is about the will to be like you want to be, refusing to change just because time keeps passing and people says you should change yourself. A "fuck you" to people who want Phil to change.

No Picture Frost Wanna Be	#7 by Frost Bite at Sep 11, 2004 at 4:19 AM EST
	fucking awesome tune

Eric Average	#8 by Eric at Aug 18, 2007 at 8:41 AM EST
