Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Goat Average	#1 by Goat Screwer at Mar 9, 1970 at 2:22 AM EST
	the lead singer of the toadies (i can't remember his name, sorry) actually said, when this song was released, that it is actually about a vampire wanting to change a human. so ha

No Picture Daniel Average	#2 by Daniel Johnson at Sep 17, 1974 at 10:45 AM EST
	This is a great song. The Toadies are great....man it has been forever tho...6 years or something since this CD came out. I wonder what ever happened to them. Anywho...this song is about rape. I remember about the same time it came out and this song was pretty big that's what I had heard. And from the looks of the lyrics, I'd have to agree.

No Picture Toni Average	#3 by Toni at Oct 18, 1977 at 4:10 AM EST
	The song doesnt mean much to me.. but isnt a great kick a** song to listen to while driving?? ;-)~

No Picture Sir Stuff Professional	#4 by Sir Stuff at Dec 16, 1981 at 9:43 AM EST
	IT'S NOT ABOUT VAMPIRES...GOD!!! HE WANTS TO KILL HER AND THEN KEEP HER BODY WITH HIM FOREVER AND EVER...HE'S PLANNING TO DROWN HER IN THE WATER (THE LAKE) AND THEN TAKE CARE OF HER AFTER SHE'S DEAD ( I PROMISE YOU I WILL TREAT YOU WELL)

No Picture Chris Wanna Be	#5 by Chris H at Jun 19, 1986 at 4:21 AM EST
	This song was always about vampires for me. I read the lyrics before I actually heard the song, and I thought it was a poem about a vampire. It sounds like it could be from a vampire's point-of-view. Just my interpretation.

No Picture randy Professional	#6 by randy taylor at Mar 19, 1990 at 3:22 AM EST
	HA take that!!

No Picture R.I.P Dimebag D Professional	#7 by R.I.P Dimebag Darrell at Nov 4, 2003 at 10:55 PM EST
