Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


Toshi Wanna Be	#1 by Toshi hira at May 1, 1970 at 9:00 PM EST
	This song always makes me think of those younger days when sparkin' up a fattie and listening to 2112 was considered a good way to spend an afternoon... Aaaahhh... Mmmmm......

	"This song always makes me think of those younger days when sparkin' up a fattie and listening to 2112 was considered a good way to spend an afternoon... Aaaahhh... Mmmmm......" This sounds like an ideal way to spend an afternoon IMO. I hope it still is. Is for me anyway. Rush Rocks

No Picture Layne Wanna Be	#3 by Layne Staley at Jan 22, 1985 at 2:17 PM EST
	This song is about traveling around the middle east smoking different dopes!

MOTLEY CRUE! Lead Player	#4 by MOTLEY CRUE! ROCKS! at Sep 22, 1989 at 8:17 PM EST
	If you read the liner notes from the album, it says "With acknowledgment to the genius of Ayn Rand", which is obvious in the song "2112", but I've always if somehow it also applies to this song as well.

Chris Average	#5 by Chris Hutt at Oct 5, 1993 at 1:03 PM EST
	a paen to pot and other drugs ^_^

fukt Average	#6 by fukt at Aug 25, 2003 at 3:34 PM EST
	Most of the places mentioned in the second verse are unfamiliar with marijuana, and it's much more likely they'd be smoking various other plants out of a hookah.
