Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Chris Badass	#1 by Chris Phillips at Jun 20, 1972 at 12:40 AM EST
	this was one of the only new songs I liked. .but yeah, some of the lyrics are incorrect.. . .oh well

No Picture JUSTIN Lead Player	#2 by JUSTIN LOCKHART at Nov 9, 1983 at 12:33 AM EST
	the title means, like jahred said, winning 3-0, in my perspective, it's that slipknot has 3(for their albums, excluding MFKR) and the media has zero, since the media and whatever have nothing on slipknot really. they can bash slipknot all they want and slipknot doesnt care, and this album was kinda about shoving it back in their face, and saying "you dont control us".

No Picture Tom Average	#3 by Tom Gregory at Jun 21, 1998 at 11:27 AM EST
	One of the worst songs on "the subliminal verses". It totaly changes on the "Goodbye" part and it sounds pretty fucked to me. I like the lyrics though, I think it's about realizing that your whole world is something that you don't really know anymore, and your'e fighting for something you don't really care about. Half of the lyrics here are wrong anyway.
