Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture The Great South Lead Player	#1 by The Great Southern Trendkill at Oct 2, 2007 at 11:18 PM EST
	Mattimal- No, this song is nothing like all of their other ones... buy the CD and determine it for yourself. It's really a great buy. I bought the CD when I first heard Date With The Night on Subterranean, and went and bought it. I liked how the songs can go from drunken yelling to deep, meaningful songs. Unfortunately, YYY's Maps is starting to be really played on the radio... I couldn't believe they were on the mainstream masses. Next thing you know, MTV will start playing 30 seconds of their song on TRL amongst screaming teenagers, then Nick and Brian will be on the cover of Teen-I'm-so-hot magazine. But I have faith they won't sell out.

No Picture Sara Average	#2 by Sara Sunshine at Oct 3, 2007 at 11:51 PM EST
	let me tell you, this song is a gross misrepresentation of what this band actually sounds like. take a song off their album like "tick" or "black tongue" and then tell me about them. i think it was awful for them to release this as their first single off of "fever to Tell"...but. if you like Maps maybe youll like a band like rainer maria. check then at www.rainermaria.com good.

No Picture caleb Wanna Be	#3 by caleb at Oct 6, 2007 at 6:31 AM EST
	you guys should really expand your horizons.. i mean, come on you guys theres like almost no comments on other songs of theirs but this one, and it really bugs me that just cos you hear it on fucking stupid MTV, youre like "omg this is great!" personally i hate MTV, and all they stand for... theyre selling out the yyys and its pissing me off to the point where i cant tell the MTV fans from the real yyys fans

No Picture Kenny Lead Player	#4 by Kenny Berg at Oct 8, 2007 at 8:04 AM EST
	I love the way she sings, 'they don't love you like I love you' but I don't understand why the word maps is in there..I think she doesn't completely explain it but it means something to her - maybe this guy moved away or she did.

No Picture Simon (Si) Lead Player	#5 by Simon (Si) Brown at Oct 11, 2007 at 8:42 AM EST
	i think it's about someone leaving her for the world, but she doesn't want them to...cuz they don't love said person like she does. she loves that person so completely...she doesn't want them to stray...the maps kinda sounds like aaaaaah, right? so maybe it's like "god...maps..." as in the person is leaving...there are just maps everywhere. and really, we all have life maps; immagine your life as a map...but all along the way, they don't love you like i love you

No Picture keith Lead Player	#6 by keith at Oct 13, 2007 at 8:04 AM EST
	It's a pretty touching lyric, that chorus. Karen O is a babe.

No Picture (DDD Bass Gu Rhythm Player	#7 by (DDD Bass Guitar/Backup Vocals) Jeff Fritts at Oct 14, 2007 at 4:35 PM EST
	This song is oozing with emotions, but I can't pinpoint just which ones.... You guys have mentioned a few good ideas, though-- especially doobey's explanation for the title. Anyways, great song-- I'm looking forward to hearing some more of their stuff now.

No Picture Dan Average	#8 by Dan Flores at Oct 15, 2007 at 10:55 AM EST
	I think this song is in the form of dialogue. One person is talking about packing up and leaving and the other person is saying "wait." The second person is telling them how much they love them, implying that they want them to stay. I think it is called maps because there is a decision about which direction to go in life, to stay or to go away. Just my interpretation.
