Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture keith Wanna Be	#1 by keith mckinlay at Oct 1, 2007 at 1:39 AM EST
	i must agree a big chunk of TBS left in john. and johns new band is great. with amazing lyrics. however i still think TBS's new album will be great. however i think matt is a much better bass player than shaun. i saw them live in may and matt is a really talented bass player. love the bass line in the verse of decade under the influence.

No Picture !Ace Rhythm Player	#2 by !Ace Youngs at Oct 1, 2007 at 8:22 PM EST
	Fred Astaire. Hugely Popular. Amazing Dancer. Way back in the day...set the floor on fire with his footsteps with his tap dancing. Pertaining to the song, tap dancing your way out of trouble/tap dancing around the issue...take your pick.

No Picture Jer Average	#3 by Jer at Oct 2, 2007 at 8:27 PM EST
	I like this song. But i thought the lyrics where "Scream Older and wiser" Instead of "We're older and wiser"A nd for some reason song meanings just turnt grey=(

No Picture Razor Wanna Be	#4 by Razor Edge at Oct 4, 2007 at 1:14 AM EST
	Hey austin ever heard of a thing called Viruses and spyware that come along with soulseek? Warez is the shit! (Warez.com). Mirc is cool 2

No Picture sebastian Average	#5 by sebastian daalmeijer at Oct 5, 2007 at 9:53 PM EST
	Could someone pleeeeeaaaase tell me (I DO know I'm late..) what's going on with tbs? I mean I want to know what has been happening with John leaving and some shit between them and Brand New... I've been reading comments since a long time and I don't know what the hell everyone is talking about... Would be real nice to tell me what's up with that and everything I should know about tbs.. Thanks!!

No Picture John Wanna Be	#6 by John Merritt at Oct 6, 2007 at 4:55 AM EST
	about getting older and moving on to bigger and better things/people. new TBS album is hot shizzy

No Picture patrick Wanna Be	#7 by patrick at Oct 6, 2007 at 8:03 AM EST
	hey tootsie, ever hear of a little thing called soulseek?

No Picture Dan Lead Player	#8 by Dan archy at Oct 7, 2007 at 12:54 PM EST
	This song is alright ... I'm not really feeling the new album as much as Tell All Your Friends. That one's fucking golden.

No Picture Satan SAF! Rhythm Player	#9 by Satan SAF! Lucifer at Oct 7, 2007 at 8:07 PM EST
	new tbs is the shit...they are growin older like brand new...seems to be bout john

No Picture isaac Average	#10 by isaac fritsch at Oct 8, 2007 at 11:11 AM EST
	straylight run is waaay better than tbs...too bad john left

No Picture katie Average	#11 by katie focner at Oct 9, 2007 at 1:10 AM EST
	I want to know why the song is named after the guy who sings the christmas songs in that old show "Santa Clause Comes To Town" (you know the one with the burgermeister lol)

No Picture Jordan Lead Player	#12 by Jordan Gadsby at Oct 10, 2007 at 6:51 PM EST
	I recall an episode of Family Guy in which Stewie gets into some toxic waste and grows tentacles. At one point, he climbs onto a ceiling fan and says "Oh look -- I'm Fred Astaire."

No Picture Your account ha Average	#13 by Your account has been hacked into by Bkid23 Stupid.... at Oct 11, 2007 at 10:01 PM EST
	everyone needs to get off johns dick,the band wasent made by just him,yea whe he left a small piece of the band left too but fred is just as if more talented.new cd is sweet.

No Picture Tony Wanna Be	#14 by Tony Danza at Oct 12, 2007 at 2:04 AM EST
	This song is clearly about John leaving. All three verses appear to have something to do with Adam and John and how while they were 'breaking up' they were still living together. It's just like in marriage while you're waiting for the divorce. You still live together but there's so much you do to the other person just to get under their skin.

No Picture Vicky Average	#15 by Vicky Barnard at Oct 12, 2007 at 3:25 AM EST
	i cant believe there's only 14 submissions towards this song ...this is one of the best on the album.....i love the "older and wiser still filled with resentment, we get it, we get it" gnarly

No Picture Daron Average	#16 by Daron Malakian at Oct 12, 2007 at 6:24 AM EST
	just search google, the whole story should be to hard to find. short story: john left band. yup.

No Picture Chris Wanna Be	#17 by Chris H at Oct 12, 2007 at 6:34 AM EST
	i don't like the title of this song.

No Picture Snap! Crackle! Average	#18 by Snap! Crackle! Josh!! waldenmaier at Oct 13, 2007 at 2:34 PM EST
	kyklazzara is right, according to the lyrics book it says: All tired said Scream safe haven Scream take out 'said' and you get: all tired scream, save haven.

No Picture Alex Lead Player	#19 by Alex at Oct 14, 2007 at 9:14 AM EST
	I am so jealous, where are you people hearing these songs?

No Picture Your account ha Average	#20 by Your account has been hacked into by Bkid23 Stupid.... at Oct 14, 2007 at 10:37 PM EST
	yeh, i think maybe this album is maybe lyrically weaker than tayf, but i love it, cant stop listening 2 it. everysong is great for me

No Picture David Average	#21 by David Turner at Oct 16, 2007 at 10:28 AM EST
	real good song.nice beat,but... On side streets and hate it, let's get this out and on the table is in fact... "all tired scream safe haven. lets get this out and on the table."

No Picture Sal Average	#22 by Sal With The Lights Out at Oct 16, 2007 at 7:37 PM EST
	this sounds like a response to "a slow descent" by straylight because in it john sings "i'm tired, cynical and broken, but wiser, heavy with a sense of resentment"

No Picture Rockstar Professional	#23 by Rockstar at Oct 19, 2007 at 10:49 AM EST
	this shit is gorgeous

No Picture Razzle Wanna Be	#24 by Razzle jester at Oct 19, 2007 at 2:26 PM EST
	ps.... lyrics are wrong We're older and wiser, still filled with resentment We got it, we got it Scream older and wiser still filled with resentment......... not well.. i dont know where they came up with that... thought you might want to know I LOVE TAKING BACK SUNDAY

No Picture Josh Lead Player	#25 by Josh Ripley at Oct 20, 2007 at 4:06 AM EST
	it's funny how bands progress into "harder" and "faster" sounds on their sophomore album, and tbs slows down the pace. i'm not really digging this one either. a bit too basic. i miss john. "/
