Song: Bulldozer
Artist: Machine Head
Tabbed by: Ack! (a_thousand_lies@hotmail.com)

Available on the LP 'Supercharger'

Ack! Says: The one that was on here before was a nice try
but flawed pretty badly. It was written for standard 4-string
tuning and that was just plain wrong. Ever since 'The Burning Red',
Machine Head have been dropping to 'B'.
For this one, if you can, use a standard tuned 5-string, as tuning
to B on your 4-string will sound very, very "clicky".
Have fun. This tab is SPOT ON - there are NO mistakes.

Key
===
h - hammer on note
p - pull off to note
~ - hold note (let it ring)
/ - slide up to note
 - slide down to note
b - bend string

No Picture Jay Rhythm Player	#1 by Jay B at Nov 13, 1972 at 3:25 AM EST
	this song appears 2 be about machine head's intolerance of any pathetic sonofabitch that dares to stand in their way-"Bulldozer crushes all". i know they're a metal band [a bloody awesome one at that] but that kind of "take no bullshit" attitude is pure rock n roll. i'm addicted to this song because it sounds like emo kids being crushed to death under the caterpillar tracks of MH's unstoppable war machine. so flynn & co. ARE the bulldozer. their music could kill a xtina aguilera fan at 20 paces, and god willing, that may happen sooner or later. ok i'm just babbling now, but MH are the greatest US band since metallica.

No Picture Bobby Rhythm Player	#2 by Bobby McCorkle at Feb 19, 1994 at 11:21 AM EST
	Very, VERY cool song. I thought I was in for a mindless mosh-fest when I saw the title of the track, but damn, it rocks hard AND it's got some depth. Very inspirational lyrics, and nice use of the bulldozer as a symbol. The bulldozer in this song serves as kind of hero... the singer encourages us to be like the bulldozer, even though the bulldozer isn't heroic in the typical sense. It's a self-serving machine-- but it IS brutally efficient at what it does and let's nothing stop it. And I think that's the core message of the song... to never back down from odds and to challenge yourself.

No Picture Carter Wanna Be	#3 by Carter Wilson at May 3, 2003 at 7:47 PM EST
	whats wrong with Nu Metal anyways i honestly think that The Burning Red was their best album even though it wasn't heavier than the others but every song on that album was good.

No Picture Heavier Than He Rhythm Player	#4 by Heavier Than Heaven at Jun 25, 2005 at 11:27 PM EST
	I love this song, nothing flashy, just good hard rock. This is so good to go mental and jump about to on the dance floor.

	I think bulldozer is primery an anthem cause its the opener of the album. secondary "bulldozer" is a metaphor for strenght, and the lyrics say that their fire is still burning like it ever was and it ever will be >>"the more evolving changes the more we stay the same"
