Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture isaac Average	#1 by isaac fritsch at Aug 2, 1979 at 8:11 AM EST
	ignore this guy, there is too much excess glue around his house. neway by far the best song on this album. i won't say what it means because i really don't what he had going through his head, but for all you rocket scientist, check out my songs and tell me your interpretation. i won't be mad. also check mudvaine4eva

No Picture zoe Wanna Be	#2 by zoe cherrie at Jan 7, 1981 at 4:49 PM EST
	this is about a sophisticaed businessman zebra. Someone threw a jar of jam, which everyone knows no sophisticated zebra can resist, down into the basement. then cruely shut the damn door and didnt ock it but held it in place by means of a big metal bar. This song means a lot to me beacause i once knew a sophisticaed businessman zebra who liked jam. HE ate a peanut and that peanut was the president of the united states of America! A-Men!!!

No Picture Julian Average	#3 by Julian . at Jun 18, 1981 at 5:55 AM EST
	too bad darkgoddess posted almost 3 years ago on this song, but mother is actually talking about his mother. i believe she passed away when he was young...

No Picture JUSTIN Lead Player	#4 by JUSTIN LOCKHART at Sep 2, 1986 at 5:20 AM EST
	what an awesome song, i love the interlude. if anyone just happens to need a drum tab for it...ask me heh (tab sites have been shutdown)

No Picture Justin Rhythm Player	#5 by Justin Lepera at May 22, 1988 at 3:08 AM EST
	this is probably the crappiest band ever, next to nickelback

No Picture josh Average	#6 by josh stagel at Jun 3, 1988 at 9:55 PM EST
	Seems to me that it's about some kid being locked in the basement by his mom for punishment.

No Picture Roman Rhythm Player	#7 by Roman Malik at Apr 30, 2001 at 7:59 AM EST
	You people take it too literaly, the basement isnt an acctual structure but most likely a prison he mentaly build for himself. Mother probibly signifies a domeneering female figure like a controling girlfriend or something. The whole "cause if you want you can take it all away from me" is something that shows up in alot of the songs and that probibly means exactly what it says, he just doesnt care anymore. Dunno if Im right, thats just what it seems like to me.
