Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture RJ Average	#1 by RJ Rehmann at May 24, 2006 at 4:08 AM EST
	Two kinds of battery. The first is the act of beating someone up, assault etc. The other Battery means both a positive and a negative side to everything. I also hear this song is about the "Old Waldorf Club" or something.

No Picture Lucien Wanna Be	#2 by Lucien at Aug 3, 2006 at 12:57 PM EST
	Fuckin hell, I'll be the first to admit that it's an overwhelming source of energy when one is in a rage, as i have been there, but it ain't all fun and games. I spent 1 1/2 years in a Malaysian Prison for that shit... and i got off lightly!!!!! Spend all your time lookin over ya shoulder makin sure no one's gonna turn ya into a bitch. There are DIRE consequences to these actions. Hence the NEGATIVE terminal of a battery.... some people need to grow up

No Picture Sinan90 Average	#3 by Sinan90 at Jun 16, 2007 at 3:31 AM EST
	As Jules4099 says, is correct. The battery is the energy that give you the adreneline rush you get when you are raging.
