Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


Joe Average	#1 by Joe G at Apr 4, 1972 at 4:20 AM EST
	is as personal**

Kyle Rhythm Player	#2 by Kyle Robinson at Jul 29, 1975 at 10:15 PM EST
	thsi song was off his first ep when it was just jimmy and where in this song does it say anything about suicide it just says that hes had a hard life but he doesnt want anyone to feel sorry for him.

Alek Wanna Be	#3 by Alek Kalinowski at Nov 22, 1975 at 6:52 AM EST
	Nah I don't agree.... I think this isn't your average sing about a load of shit MSI song, this is a proper serious song! He doesn't want people to pity him, and when he tells them that they tell him to fuck off or whatever, "screw you, the sentiments the same my friend", his life has never been a bed of roses, it's never been great or right, but I don't know what he's done, the path he chose.... sh-t I don't know, ah well...

guido Average	#4 by guido at May 30, 1977 at 7:47 PM EST
	This song is about the stage past self-pity. Where you break down and accept everything that you hate because you're tired of pity from yourself and from everyone else. It's just like 'hey, my life has never been a bed of roses, i don't need your pity'.

Vinnie Rhythm Player	#5 by Vinnie Valium at Nov 9, 1977 at 1:42 AM EST
	i can relate to this song in some occasions...my life hasnt been a bed of roses...and whos life hasnt...we all think it and Jimmy was just saying...Jimmy, good job!

George Average	#6 by George Player at Dec 12, 1978 at 3:05 PM EST
	this is a gorgeous song.

Ben Rhythm Player	#7 by Ben Gibson at Dec 30, 1978 at 1:00 AM EST
	I agree with Soulfly about the people who say such things to get attention, but the song is a whole different story. It seems to be a note left behind by someone who already did die and the song is what's left of them to be remembered, since everything in the song is sung in past tone. The songs meaning though seems to just be a careless life where the person got no attention, no love, and had nothing so why keep going? Sadly that person didn't and now that the persons gone no one should feel sorry since they never tried anything before.

Garland Rhythm Player	#8 by Garland Cross at Apr 3, 1981 at 7:39 PM EST
	I do not agree with Soulfly about talking about committing suicide only for attention. If someone is sick enough to talk about killing themself there is obviously something wrong and they need help - no matter if you think they will actually do it or not. By the time you read a suicide note it's probably to late to save that person's life. I think people who commit suicide leave notes or poems because it's not like they can go up to their loved ones and be like "I wanted to let you know I love you and I am going to kill myself." It is not left to be evidence - their dead body is evidence. Some artists write songs about it - doing it - but it's just a song. Some find suicide fascinating or frightening - or maybe just because it fits in their song. But when a person actually turns around and talks about doing it - wanting to do it - then we need to take that seriously before it's too late. If you are the person they choose to talk to about it - make it your responsibility to help them or find someone who can.

Alex Wanna Be	#9 by Alex TABASH! at Apr 13, 1981 at 5:47 PM EST
	This is off their 1995 album. That whole thing was serious, its an ok album. This song is also ok. Only ok... The nonsensical stuff is better.

Kcaz Average	#10 by Kcaz at Nov 19, 1984 at 6:50 AM EST
	Anyone know this is Jonathon Davis ( Korn) 's favorite song?

GRiMM Average	#11 by GRiMM . at Dec 23, 1985 at 12:32 PM EST
	I agree with nick.. get a life, stop talking about suicide.. this is supposed to be "what the lyrics mean", not our personal accounts of what suicide means to us.... jesus

Mike Lead Player	#12 by Mike nobody at Jan 22, 1986 at 2:32 PM EST
	I love this song its my favorite MSI song ever!!!!!!! Jimmy Urine Rocks!!!!!!

Bill Wanna Be	#13 by Bill Rossi at May 21, 1986 at 7:46 AM EST
	this is one of my favorite msi songs. it makes me sad. like i want to go out and kill some people.

John Lead Player	#14 by John Bombara at Jan 1, 1987 at 6:30 PM EST
	i dont agree with most of you... unless jimmy had a huge change in heart over 10 years, which is very possible

hollywoodgymnas Average	#15 by hollywoodgymnast at Sep 8, 1987 at 9:49 AM EST
	"screw you, the sentiments the sentiments the same, it always was"... "i hate myself... i want to die... and you'll hear me say this tomorrow" noones going to kill themselfves... but damn they want to

Dane Rhythm Player	#16 by Dane n\|\|n at Jan 1, 1991 at 6:16 AM EST
	it's a song. mindless is rarely serious and when they are they still aren't. so you all wasted your time with this suicide discussion. ha ha ha. grow up a little and learn to look at things in different ways or else you may keep wasting your life on small pity trivialized things such as these. Thank you. now go to bed.

Allarme Average	#17 by Allarme at Sep 17, 1991 at 11:45 PM EST
	(Not all my post was posted)... If you've listened to newer MSI stuff, it's very anti-emo, anti-bitchy, and they are just crazy and like to have fun =D. Maybe this song's about a friend, or maybe Jimmy was Emo, but if he was, he's done a 180 (songs like "You'll Rebel to anything" and "Backmask"). do you know where i could get my hands on some of Jimmy's old stuff? that would be so kick ass

Bobby Lead Player	#18 by Bobby Parker at Jul 9, 1993 at 4:22 AM EST
	wooo!!!!

No Picture Coke Average	#19 by Coke Can at Oct 13, 1993 at 7:09 PM EST
	I think this song represents his hardship as an artist and as a bi-sexual god! i swear that msi is holy... oh well.

Brenton Average	#20 by Brenton Giordano at Jan 15, 1995 at 5:41 AM EST
	Sorry, I got the assumption it was about his life always being shit, and how he's sick about people feeling sorry for him.

bob Average	#21 by bob whyte at May 14, 1996 at 6:29 PM EST
	I love love LOVE MSI! it looks to me like he want to kill himself cuz his life's never been a "bed or roses" meaning it sucks but he doesnt want people to be sorry for him because they say the same thing all the time and it doesnt help.

Uberbass Wanna Be	#22 by Uberbass at Jun 19, 1996 at 12:41 AM EST
	Anyone know this is Jonathon Davis ( Korn) 's favorite song?

seth Average	#23 by seth colmer at Jul 13, 2002 at 2:13 AM EST
	this is the first song i heard by msi and i fell in love with them instantly. this song is, i think, as personal and emotional as msi can get without losing the magic of their music. you can take this seriously or not, but either way i think it touches all of us and many i think, can relate to having a crappy life and resigning to accursed existance. he just wants to talk about it, not make people feel sorry for him and thats the greatest way to deal with pain.

Ray Wanna Be	#24 by Ray WatzChaFace at Jun 19, 2006 at 10:49 AM EST
	kick ass tab msi rocks my socks i think it should be the way you have but the E string actually goes at the bottom of the tab other than that m/ party on wayne! m/

TAMARA Musical Genius	#25 by TAMARA at Feb 2, 2007 at 4:54 AM EST
	I think it's kinda like saying, His life has never been easy, but it's the path he chose, so he's going to stick with it, through all the hard times, and he doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for him in any way.
