Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Brian Lead Player	#1 by Brian Priddis at Mar 18, 2006 at 12:01 PM EST
	great tune, apparantly based on a time the specials toured france, got in a row with a hotelier over something the damned did when they stayed at the same hotel and the owners demanded money or they would not give them their instruments back until the specials manager, bernie rhodes (a bit of a geezer) 'talked to' the hotels owner. hence 'bernie rhodes knows....dont argue'. altogether now..dum dum dum dum, d-d-d-d-d-dum dum

	Yeah the music is from prince buster's al capone, and the original intro was "al capone's guns don't argue" and the specials sing basically the only line from the original, "don't call me scarface"

No Picture Kaden Wanna Be	#3 by Kaden at Oct 13, 2006 at 12:41 PM EST
	yes but if u play listen to the guitar in al capone it is very different the specials did a very very good job at rewriting the song

No Picture Justin Wanna Be	#4 by Justin Thibeault at May 16, 2007 at 9:20 AM EST
	oh, and the melody has been borrowed from a tune called al capone, think its by prince buster, but wouldnt swear on it.
