Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Marta Average	#1 by Marta at May 3, 1988 at 8:58 AM EST
	AHHHH NOooo Corrosive30......no man, I was on your side of your guy's arguement but then you said that "dream on" was by Zeppelin.......for shame.....it's Aerosmith dude. For you NO CODE 79, you said in a comment that Metallica was a hair metal band.....now I hope I just mis-read that cause if you meant to say that, then your a complete idiot. As for Dave's voice, well I don't care for it too much but I still don't mind it and his guitar work sounds awsome. Now for dazed and confused, if any of you people were a guitar play you'd know that dazed and confused has it's main rhythm line from a bass and when the guitar comes in, it doesn't even really sound like one. The guitar in sweating bullets is much heavier, played on different strings and it only happens for the chorus. That should clear things up......and if it doesn't they you guys are truely lost.

No Picture jimmeny Lead Player	#2 by jimmeny Maschnikket at Jul 22, 1999 at 11:31 PM EST
	I agree with those 2 up there ^ The vid to this song is trippy... lol

No Picture Spencer Wanna Be	#3 by Spencer at Sep 13, 2003 at 3:07 PM EST
	No I definitly mis wrote it, I shouldn't have written other, it would have been clearer.... Yes I know Metallica isnt hairmetal lol.... Hair metal is dead and Metallica is still around, and so is Maidon and such.... To me, the only good thing about metal mostly is the solo, some of the best soloists are metal guitarists or were heavily influenced by metal guitarists... and yes you are right AX7 and shinedown kick ass well anyways, at least we can agree that Dave's voice sucks...

No Picture Mike Average	#4 by Mike Fraguglia at Jul 17, 2004 at 3:42 AM EST
	The song has to do with drugs and how he has to handle the addiction. And also about how the media portrays him and other in his situation.

No Picture Julio .S.A.F. Lead Player	#5 by Julio .S.A.F. at Nov 3, 2006 at 10:27 PM EST
	It also has things that could be references to nuclear war... mutually assured destruction, mankind has got to know his limitations, the general theme of being paranoid and being ready to kill someone out of fear, etc.

No Picture dustin Wanna Be	#6 by dustin docerty at Nov 11, 2006 at 1:22 AM EST
	1st of all N0 C0DE 79 you can suck my left testical 2nd ive loved Led Zeppelin since i was 5 and i love megadeth and theirs really no reason to call down a great band 3rd of all metallica can suck my right testical and then you and metallica could suck on my middle testical if i had one. and lastly if you had a true appreciation you wouldnt call 80's hair bands down cause they have influenced alot of todays bands So in conclusion megadeth is good and you can suck on my left testical. Iron madien/motley crue are good though

No Picture Sinan90 Average	#7 by Sinan90 at Dec 11, 2006 at 11:00 PM EST
	'sweating bullets' means like hes sweating from paranoia, and because of his paranoia iis harming, like bullets do. this song works for wars like the cold war casue each country is so paranoid of losing that is just keeps shooting down others to keep itself up

No Picture COBHC Average	#8 by COBHC at Jan 14, 2007 at 10:27 PM EST
	I thought this was about a bad relationship. Not being able to cope, perhaps in a marraige, then finally after feeling trapped murdering your partner. Very cool song :-)

No Picture mason Average	#9 by mason coats at Mar 6, 2007 at 2:36 PM EST
	..My name is dave Mustaine who could kick N0 C0DE 79's ass at guitar or a fight anyday

No Picture Leo Average	#10 by Leo Jaeggi at May 9, 2007 at 4:23 PM EST
	second favorite Megadeth song, A Tout le Monde is my favorite.. but everytime i here this son i think of a schizophrenic person

No Picture Sam Wanna Be	#11 by Sam Gageler at Jun 13, 2007 at 5:58 AM EST
	I really like this song and its lyrics rocks but what do "Sweating bullets" really mean... I know what the words mean but what do Dave Mustaine mean?
