Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Tom Rhythm Player	#1 by Tom at Oct 27, 1980 at 4:00 AM EST
	this song is not about fucking drugs...

No Picture Bun Wanna Be	#2 by Bun Nugz at Oct 30, 1982 at 11:52 AM EST
	The album "SSOTSS" that this song is taken from is a concept album about the coming of a child with supernatural powers, the deadly sins and apocalypse (i think). The way I see it, the childs life is not all predestined - powers of evil and goog fight to dominate him and he may become one of the two: the prophet-saviour or something like the antichrist. I think it comes closer to the second in the end. And the songs follow him through different stages of his life. So this song is best interpreted within the context. I think it's about one of the deadly sins - lust, and a time in his youth when he slept with a girl and then left her thus becoming "the slaughter of innocence" - both the girl's and his own. Later he regrets it deeply. The carefree days of youth come to an end as "the book of life opens" before him and he realizes more and more that "the evil that men do lives on and on" because the past cannot be undone. The Shakespearean quote is very appropriate here indeed.

No Picture Mack Lead Player	#3 by Mack at May 17, 1997 at 6:14 AM EST
	I brought The Best of the beast over to my friends today and he said these exact words "Theres no way in hell this is about cocaine" (cause read it, its either about heroin or coke for example) But I will pray for her "I will call her name out loud I would bleed for her If only I could see her now" "Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade" if you guys know about cocaine or heroin you have to cut it and put it into a line... or you dont have to lol, and heroin you can do the same way you can just shoot it aswell... but thats just my interpitation...
