Band: Vendetta Red
CD: Between the Never and the Now
Song: Caught You Like a Cold
Label: Epic
Bassist: Mike Vermillion
Tabbed by: Chris

Try getting that rumbling, metal sound with a pick even though 
the intro is a bit hard with a pick.

I can't really tab the rythym.  Theres a short pause 
in between the 5 note (0) and the 6th note (0).
That's all I can really say.

Sounds like he might be hitting a note before the double notes.
Theres a thick bass sound in the background.

A triplet.  Sounds a bit weird but I'm almost sure its correct.

be a bass effect, if so, I have no idea what it is.)

Play intro until end.  Look for my tab for "P.S. Love the Black," it doesn't appear under 
Vendetta Red.

	this is one of the best songs on white knuckled substance and it has a rad little bass line. Vendetta red is one of the best bands around.

No Picture qaz1 Average	#2 by qaz1 qaz1 at Jan 9, 1980 at 3:19 AM EST
	The singer Zack as a child was abused so i think this song could be about him

No Picture ian Average	#3 by ian mckinly at May 12, 1981 at 9:51 AM EST
	Heck yeah .. "Save yourself because your dying slowly say goodnight before you ever say goodbye" this just says it all. and yes tragicallytraunt the bass fucken rules in this song

No Picture jake Wanna Be	#4 by jake fugate at Jan 17, 1982 at 9:19 AM EST
	well if you look at some of the lyrics, there are parts where he's saying stuff that someone else did that would obviously not do what was intended. For instance: "Tore the buttons off your coat to keep the wind out" "And what you reiterate is meaningless to me" "Held a candle to the sun to drown the twilight" I dunno, just something I notcied. Maybe it means someone is getting abused and is basically just asking for it 'cuz he/she is doing things that dont help at all, or make things worse.

No Picture Dane Rhythm Player	#5 by Dane n\|\|n at Jun 5, 1983 at 5:49 PM EST
	i think it's about someone who's being sexually abused by their father. Like Frankay615 said, VR is saying to not give up, to escape the wrath of their father. "Does it make you sick? The smell of daddy's sweat. the taste of daddy's spit?" saying that they are raped by their father. That's what I get from the song anyway

No Picture Kendrick Wanna Be	#6 by Kendrick Snyder at Sep 30, 1983 at 12:44 PM EST
	the knack for writing lyrics seems ingenious. adore it.

No Picture Speed Demon Professional	#7 by Speed Demon at Apr 6, 1985 at 11:48 AM EST
	I love Vendetta Red! They put on an amazing show. This song is really good live, the screaming at the end is awesome. VR is like no other band out there, everyone needs to check them out. The guys in the band are so nice too, after they perform they just chill by the merch booth to talk with fans.

No Picture pierce Average	#8 by pierce carter at May 31, 1986 at 2:48 PM EST
	kick ass song...love the part where hes yelling, these guys are awesome.

No Picture Jess Average	#9 by Jess at Mar 12, 2005 at 10:21 AM EST
	and the chorus (i guess you could call it that) "Save yourself because your dying slowly say goodnight before you ever say goodbye" he's telling the person to save yourself, and not to give up. dont die before you have a chance to survive. hence "say goodnight before you ever say goodbye". he doesnt want the person to say "goodbye" and leave forever. he wants him to get away.
