Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Alexxx <3 Lead Player	#1 by Alexxx <3 at Nov 15, 1971 at 5:57 PM EST
	Does anyone else ever get the feeling sometimes that the Johns or someone they know is addicted to painkillers? They make a lot of references to that sort of thing, especially in their old songs, like this one and "Lie Still, Little Bottle"

No Picture Em Average	#2 by Em at Jun 9, 1974 at 6:40 AM EST
	If this is a song about being addicted to pain killers, Advil is a pretty lame drug to choose. Maybe that's another testament to this guy: he's kind of pathetic. The only addiction he can get is Advil. Very sad. Anyway, just a thought.

No Picture Andrew Average	#3 by Andrew Metcalfe at Feb 13, 1979 at 4:01 PM EST
	One vote for it about being getting older. The not recognizing yourself line is particularly good.

No Picture Fontaine Average	#4 by Fontaine at Aug 22, 1979 at 5:28 PM EST
	I always thought it was about getting old

No Picture Nate Lead Player	#5 by Nate Thompson at Apr 26, 1988 at 4:33 PM EST
	I always thought this was about somebody trying to kill themself with Advil, but after reading DavidGrimmer's post, I agree with him. Especially because in the remix on Severe Tire Damage, they change one line to: "have some respect for someone more decrepid than yourself"
