Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture The Masta The Muther F*ing Masta!	#1 by The Masta at May 31, 2006 at 2:42 AM EST
	I didn't think this song was that well known. I always assumed it was an obscure song in the Kinks huge lot of songs. I wouldn't expect this song to have eight replies when so many other great songs by "the Kinks" have no replies. Well, anyway, it’s a great song and it is fun to play on my guitar.

No Picture Ben Rhythm Player	#2 by Ben at Aug 8, 2006 at 11:13 PM EST
	I think its a little sad how the parents have to use pictures to prove they loved each other a long time ago.

No Picture Phil Average	#3 by Phil Chavez at Jun 28, 2007 at 10:50 AM EST
	I agree with UnpluggedGuy, and I don't think the song is about disliking pictures at all.

No Picture Jimmy Average	#4 by Jimmy at Oct 16, 2007 at 4:28 AM EST
	ironically, Ray dislikes having his picture taken or the ideas of photos. brilliant song and great that HP are using it in their commercials now. perfect for an ad campaign.
