Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Squirrels Lead Player	#1 by Squirrels Dyrant at Jul 7, 1982 at 9:36 AM EST
	This song is one of the greatest of all time!

No Picture Tavo Wanna Be	#2 by Tavo at Oct 29, 1993 at 3:34 AM EST
	I think it's about someone wanting the truth to be known about themselves, but find it hard to come to terms with it. 'With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue. Dissolve the nerves that have just begun' this line makes me think they use drugs to help them...just a thought Great song :]

No Picture Brennan Wanna Be	#3 by Brennan unknown at Jun 25, 1999 at 12:49 PM EST
	This song is brilliant! I love it so much... Like everyone else said, a classic.

No Picture Toni Average	#4 by Toni at Apr 7, 2001 at 8:22 AM EST
	Great song and the only good one from this outfit.

No Picture Mauricio Wanna Be	#5 by Mauricio Tonon at Aug 14, 2004 at 10:37 PM EST
	this song fuckin ace (scuse the french) but i give all my respect to tony and the boys.

No Picture dimebag 66' Average	#6 by dimebag 66' at Jan 29, 2005 at 8:03 PM EST
	this song always makes me think of Steve Buscemi singing this in the Wedding Singer - "I know I know I know this much is truuuee, Robbie and Juuuulia"
