No Picture valentino n00b!	#1 by valentino rossi at Aug 21, 2006 at 2:48 PM EST
	Some things: 1 -This tab is wrong, there are notes over other notes in the verse, the chorus is all wrong and miss a lot of riffs 2 - You copied this tab from here: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/r/red_hot_chili_peppers/21st_centu ry_btab.htm

No Picture Andrew Wanna Be	#2 by Andrew Tedder at Sep 22, 2006 at 3:28 AM EST
	Well I think this song seems to be about fucked up the times are right now. Anti-depressants War, the "favoured nations" Strangling, fighting, mutilation I like how they have such and upbeat song about such a sad topic, lol !

No Picture Viktoria Wanna Be	#3 by Viktoria Sashalmi at Dec 4, 2006 at 9:32 AM EST
	i love this song, its even better live!

No Picture GALLIEN Wanna Be	#4 by GALLIEN at Feb 1, 2007 at 11:09 AM EST
	No it is deep rotation, Ive got the booklet thingy in front of me.... But then again even it usually has one or 2 mistakes... I might sound stupid, but.... what is this 'reason' for the 21st century everyones talking about? And what 'good' is gonna come out of war.... Im not sure but I think its about how we are slowly and painfully killing the world, along with all the creatures on it.... even ourselves! Please correct me if Im wrong.... Just dont do the whole 'WHAT THE HELL! Youre so stupid' thing
