Velvet Revolver - Big Machine

Slash/Dave Kushner - Standard Tuning

This song is 99.9% correct because no one can get it perfect. It's a pretty
easy song with the solo being the hardest part. You can ignore the mutes in
the chorus if you want but I find it easier to keep the rhythm with them.
This is just the Slash's part because typing out the rest takes to long! ENJOY!

No Picture matt Average	#1 by matt spolsky at May 26, 1977 at 11:55 AM EST
	i thought it was "teach my son how to be a lad before he hits big 5"... anyways, good song. funny how he says "houses", not house. if i could afford 2 houses, i would probably buy someone else a house first. i think he's talking about how he's trapped in this big machine, and at times he feels like he's only what other people make him out to be, but he chooses to be, because he's free to be himself, and he doesn't care what other people think, or something like that...

No Picture Vicky Average	#2 by Vicky Barnard at Jul 17, 1990 at 1:03 AM EST
	personally, i thought this song is about scott and his how his personal life (drug problems, marriage...etc) is portrayed in the media.

No Picture The Masta The Muther F*ing Masta!	#3 by The Masta at Nov 9, 1995 at 12:39 AM EST
	i always make typos but i think ull get the jist of it

No Picture Chad Wanna Be	#4 by Chad Barri at Sep 5, 2003 at 4:32 AM EST
	The jist of the song I think basically means the hole world is livin in a big machine, he's livin in one... everyone is. 'Big Machine' refering to the Tv, radio...any kind of media shuving sh*t into your head. At least thats what he's probably trying to get across in the song, dont let them con you into thinking you need a big house, or you are a faggot cause you dont wear this and that, so on and so forth.
