Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture skater-boy Rhythm Player	#1 by skater-boy at May 10, 1979 at 11:58 AM EST
	Aside from it being written when I was a kid, this is a pretty downer of a song. But this song is pretty much about the older generation saying sorry for all the trouble we caused and we hope you can make it better. This CD however was released on Oct. 25, 1990. Communism was all but dead, Germany was reunified, and just over a year later, the USSR disbanded from overspending on nukes in the arms race. THis song does have feeling today and the guitar work is decent. But a better song of this type is Winds of Change by The Scorpions—native Germans that lived under the Berlin Wall's shadow.

No Picture nathan Average	#2 by nathan skidmore at Oct 28, 1980 at 5:35 PM EST
	my uncle dedicated this song to me when my mom was still pregnant. it means a lot to me... i can never listen to it without crying.

No Picture Vinnie Rhythm Player	#3 by Vinnie Valium at Jun 14, 1981 at 8:29 PM EST
	I love this song its just sooo sad the guitars cool its not meant to be a huge big 80's hair song its kinda deeper then the other Hair metal. Anyway the point is its cool and thats coming from a Nirvana,ALICE IN CHAINS lover haha if u dont think its cool okay whatever

No Picture Drennan Professional Badass	#4 by Drennan Bragg at Dec 11, 1998 at 4:30 AM EST
	Umm, no, this disc was released in 1987. But good try. Thus, communism still reigned, Germany was two different colours on a map while the Soviet Union was one, and--though I can appreciate the stretch--The Scorpions resembled the band only in hair volume.

No Picture Dan Average	#5 by Dan Johnson at Dec 22, 2005 at 3:15 PM EST
	I love this song!!! More people should comment on it. Wow there should be more of White Lion songs on, I love them.
