"When a man lies, he murders 
   some part of the world.
  These are the pale deaths
 which men miscall their lives.
     All this I cannot 
  bear to witness any longer
    Cannot the kingdom of
   salvation take me home?"

      - Cliff Burton

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Daniel Wanna Be	#1 by Daniel Tucker at Sep 22, 1983 at 4:40 PM EST
	awesome song....my favorite part is when it slows down in the middle and the guitarist in the video uses a violin bow to make that kick ass sound.then it picks up again!!! genius!!

No Picture Rory Wanna Be	#2 by Rory Burlet at Apr 17, 1988 at 1:26 PM EST
	does anyone know what Coverdale says or ad-libs when the song slows down in the middle of the studio version? His voice track is turned way down that it sounds like he's whispering.

No Picture Musical Genius	#3 by oh.... THAT guy at Jul 26, 1998 at 4:37 AM EST
	"sounds much like led zeppelin imo" Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin, Plant & Page, solo) thought so too, and wasn't very pleased.
