Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Mike Average	#1 by Mike M at Aug 6, 1976 at 12:21 PM EST
	This song is amazing...I have teh lyrics in my AIM profile.... You can unlock a video of this song on the second disc of Rush in Rio. It was filmed in 1975. Geddy Lee Voice is alomst inhuman in this sonf.

No Picture Aron Wanna Be	#2 by Aron Georgsson at Jun 23, 1989 at 1:36 AM EST
	This song is amazing. This song makes you realize how amazing Geddy Lee's voice is. Its so original, yet so amazing. He has such a unique voice but its unbelievable. I heard about how Rush dedicated some of their stuff to Ayn Rand and I would be very interested to read some of her stuff. I love Neil Pearts lyrics and themes so I would think I would like her type of work. But this song is amazing, and I think the lyrics are good. I dont no what your talking about Brat Moj, but the meaning to me is your mind and heart will get you where you want to be in life. It's ok to be selfish sometimes becuase you should live for you. Strive for yourself, and do what you want to do in life. At least that is what I got from the song. I think the music is just amazing. Neil Peart and Alex Lifeson do a great job in this song....the beat is amazing and the ending just blows you away....I love it...No band will ever be like Rush...they are seriously one of a kind....
