Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Mike Wanna Be	#1 by Mike at Aug 18, 2005 at 2:05 PM EST
	its just about being yourself and making your own choices. its about your "free will"

No Picture Josh Average	#2 by Josh Duncan at Sep 27, 2005 at 6:08 AM EST
	In the 1500's John Calvin wrote extensively on predestination which influenced the thinking. In the 1600's Jacobos Armenius wrote of free will. These were Christian writers. Free will vs. predetermination is another fence war in our quest for truth. Nice angle t4r

No Picture Kevin Average	#3 by Kevin Fournier at Oct 3, 2005 at 10:30 PM EST
	..."Fucking stupid song. ...We don't have free will. ...We're the conglomerates of genetics and upbringing; perceptual ...entities in an epistemologically ambiguous physical Universe." I'm guessing you didn't do very well on that week's vocabulary quiz. You pretty much said one thing, and then said the complete opposite. Anyway, good song.

No Picture Daron Average	#4 by Daron Malakian at May 15, 2006 at 8:05 AM EST
	I'm definitely a free will believer and I love this song.

No Picture Jer Average	#5 by Jer at Jan 19, 2007 at 6:53 AM EST
	not really actually, you just messed up "have" with "havn't". And "concieve" with "percieve". great bass solo in the middle of the song btw, Amazing man that Geddy.

No Picture ALEX Lead Player	#6 by ALEX FOWLER at Mar 13, 2007 at 8:30 AM EST
	Fucking stupid song. We don't have free will. We're the conglomerates of genetics and upbringing; perceptual entities in an epistemologically ambiguous physical Universe.

No Picture jamie Lead Player	#7 by jamie soad at Mar 23, 2007 at 11:35 AM EST
	This is one of my favorite Rush songs, and I'm a really big Rush fan. Is the correct lyric "still have" or "still haven't" made a choice?

No Picture Randy Lead Player	#8 by Randy Lott at Apr 6, 2007 at 1:52 PM EST
	The original lyrics sheet was written "Hevn't mad e achoice" but upon singing he found he sounded like he was saying "have", decided this was better and continued it like that. This is an amzing song, the whole Permanent Waves album is amazing.
