Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture spencer Wanna Be	#1 by spencer mccarthy at Sep 16, 1989 at 5:17 AM EST
	This song is about commitment into a relationship. The vocalist always used to back out of his relationships because he was afraid to commit, so he would move onto another girl and back down. Hence the verse "the cycle soon begins again"

No Picture Derek Average	#2 by Derek Lamberty at Jul 6, 1997 at 9:17 PM EST
	brilliant guitar and drum work. the song doesnt even need words to be amazing.
