What has Canada done? Realized Bush declared a massively illegal war. And stepped the fuck asside. How many soldiers from Canada were killed by that trigger happy american pilot, back in Afghanistan...? Huh. Right. Also: You're very, very wrong. I've been there first hand and saw what the fuck is going on. I have Iraqi friends who can tell me their full account of what's going on. So don't start preaching to me about how you're saving the world unless you've actually BEEN there. Also, some American Fucktard back there said something about "posting on the message boards ain't the place to have your message heard..." Yeah, retard, I was talking about the fuckin' song. You stupid piece of shit. Anyways, all you have all done is exemplify the meaning of the song: You're all American Idiots. :) |

Hey, Bobsworth, I think you're an idiot. :) Now, there are many things I could physically do about that, or I could shut up, or whatever. But here's my philosophy on 'not being able to do squat'. Don't shut up. If you shut up, nobody'll hear your message, and nobody will ever be able to do anything about it. If someone who has the power to do something about it hears the rant, maybe they'll understand and actually, I dunno, DO something about it. |

Someone thought a relationship could happen and it didn't. OR A widow recieving a letter of a lost husband in a war. Could be either, I think it's the former, not the latter, but ehn. |

| Nuclear apocalypse, the ending of everything because of man's desire to be 'strong' or 'important', to force others to bow to his will. | |
| Savatage – Alone You Breathe Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Actually, the song is in an accusing tone to the subject. I believe it isn't about Criss' accident, because the guy would never accuse him of that; they were best friends, and plus, it would have ended up a TSO piece. I think this is more of a song yelling at someone for ending their life. Look at the tone, and everything about it. "You threw your life away" "what am I to do?" "Now we'll never see ... what was meant to be." |

| Green Day – Boulevard of Broken Dreams Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
It's about someone who's lived the life of luxury, had an awesome time, probably hit the bottle, and is now rock bottom. Thus, they stagger around, looking at their 'broken dreams', that which they had that they'll never have again because they lived too much into the lifestyle. As always, I hate Greenday; I hate 'new' music, because the musicians seem to lack so much talent. But I'm willing to interperet their songs for you while I'm not thinking about Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Seems you guys need a lot of help. He isn't neccessarily lonely. He walks alone because he has nothing. If he had something, he wouldn't be alone. He'd be walking with his something. He hit rock bottom, though. And there is nothing for him. Read into the lyrics, you'll find I'm right. I'm just too fuckin' tired to read into 'em for you. |

| Van Halen – Jump! Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Oh, just another note: Guitar isn't all Eddie can do. He also plays the keyboards for the band, if I'm not mistaken. He did at the concert I saw last year... And it was hot. He's awesome. Woooo. | |
| Van Halen – Jump! Lyrics | 20 years ago |

I bet the song would hold a lot different of a tone and make everyone think differently if it was written in a minor tone... but that wouldn't be Van Halen-ish, and would never have been as popular. But it would fit everything everyone says about it. NOW. I've heard people saying that Eddie Van Halen is the greatest guitar player of all time! I must say you are wrong. It hurts to do this, of course, because Eddie's one of the best. A guitar god in his own right, but not one of the Guitar Gods. The guitar gods? Eric Clapton, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngvie Malmsteen and Eric Johnson. Eddie Van Halen? We'll call him 6th place. :) And yes, compared to all the talent we hear in the popular track these days, Eddie is a jillion times better than the punks that pick up a guitar, bang out a few bad sounding chords and proclaim themselves a musician. |

| Rush – Nobody's Hero Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song tells us about those who make the difference in the world. The heros that step up to the plate, take the world head on so that others can live a better life. I think it goes a bit beyond that though, to show the view that those who DON'T land the crippled airplane can never be considered a hero, even though they greatly expanded the people around them, brought them to know a great deal about themselves, about the world, about... well, lots. I'd consider these people heroes, in my opinion, but I'm sure dozens wouldn't. Sad, I know, but that's the fact of it all. |

| Led Zeppelin – Kashmir Lyrics | 20 years ago |

This is a great song. You cannot truly define what it's about... Many Led Zeppelin songs preach Tolkein. This may very well be one. However, many also preach random philosophies. You'll be amazed the shit you'll think up when you're high. Some of it can actually make sense. I hate how rap artists rip this song off; First P Diddy, and then Eminem with his fuckin' 8 Mile Crap. Oh well. I personally think this can be interpereted as a person reflecting on what he sees going on in the world. People hating, world dying, happiness failing... Those who haven't started killing the planet being the members of the elder race. Y'know. Nomads and things. I dunno. It's 5 in the morning. I didn't sleep. I need some fuckin' coffee... But yea, that could definitely be something to think about, instead of taking it to a political level... I personally doubt a band like Led Zeppelin cared about politics. Pioneers of Rock and Roll, they probably cared more about, well, everything else. |

| Yes – I've Seen All Good People: Your Move/All Good People Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
No, I do believe this song is all about the non-War thing. Definitely anti-War. Well, in my opinion anyways. Just, the reference to "Give Peace a Chance" at the end, as well as people turning their heads, and the one being satisfied heading forth... It would have been directed, then, at Nam, but I think it's a really good anti-War song that could be used for the War in Iraq... After all, many americans are blindly averting their eyes to the war crimes George W. Bush has already commited just by starting an illegal war. Sad, isn't it, that such a beautiful and poetic song can have such an undertone. Well, not really sad. Certainly inspiring! |

I'm a Canadian. As such, I'm entitled to my observations and opinions. I'll start off by saying that all these new bands, especially groups like Greenday, are a disgrace. What ever happened to a little thing called Talent? I mean, where did the awesome screaming vocals go? Where did the complex chords go? How come there's no more guitar solos longer than a three bar bridge...? The music of the generation I'm forced to grow up with is far to simple to be of any worth. Sorry to say it folks, but it's true, and a sad truth at that. Perhaps after we can come out of this teenage angst... perhaps after we're all finally 30, and the guitarists in these bands can do more than bang out eighth-note simple rhythems and the drummers can do more than just bang on the snare and bass... That being said, I now revert from lover-of-good-quality-music to Canadian-who-can't-stand-cocky-american-bullshit. This song hits the mark. America is in a downward spiral. You let a dickhead that cheated his way into power in the first place creep his way in. You bomb Iraq and you don't even know why you do it. You all just throw up your jugs o' shine and hyuck-hyuck in celebration. Pretty soon we'll all be basking in the warm glow of nuclear annihilation and it'll be all Republican America's fault. Yes, indeedy, Greenday hit the mark. Americans ARE idiots. Self-righteous, rude, pigheaded, all they want is for the world to succumb to their 'empire'. Kind of like the romans. The difference is, this empire seems to almost have found a way to circumvent hatred by it's citizens by simply claiming to be 'world policing'. If you want to know what the War in Iraq is really about, it's the money. Bush and the Republican Party know that the strength of a country isn't measured by it's military power anymore, but it's economic superiority. And Iraq was beginning to recognize that it could have been economically superior to the Americans; the potential was there. So, what did the asshole Republicans do? Start controversial lies about there being Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, and went and messed it up, trying to claim it as another portion of their vast and terrible empire. There was no terrible regime in Iraq. People were actually happy before America came along on it's rampaging killing spree. The see Al-Quaida, think Turbans, and go off on 'revenge'. How many times have I heard people support the War in Iraq because "they blew up the World Trade Center"? No, you Americans are going to kill us all, and it makes me quite sick. Think, next time, before you blindly cast your vote, because if you start World War III, Canada will get drawn into it, as we always do. Y'know what that means? I'll get drafted. And y'know what that means? I'll get to march around beside asshole Americans like you. So do me a favor and kill yourself now. You're all failures in life. Grumble... *turns on his Zeppelin and makes everyone shut the fuck up* |

| Trooper – We're Here For A Good Time Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Self explainitory, but I'll give it a go for those that lack certain mental compacities... :) This song is quite basically about having a good time with the time you've got. You aren't going to live forever, so don't take your life too seriously. Have fun while you can, because this is the life you get. The life will be full of low points where you'll spend a lot of time crying. You have to see through these times, view them as a wall, and have that good time you need to have. There really is no reason not to have a good time, as nothing lasts forever. So have a good time. Because the sun certainly can't shine every day. |

If you look to the era this song was written in, and you realize that Zeppelin continuously fought legal battles over practically nothing trying to save their name and face, I think it is about how the corporate world, the love of money, and the way greed runs the lives of all is slowly killing humanity. The song starts off soft and sweet, and the Lady (Corporation) is toying with everything, because she either has the authority to command it, or the money to buy it. Onlookers watch as their world is turned upside down. Nature is destroyed. And then communism comes and everyone is happy. Yep, they were smoking a lot of weed when they were writing this. :) I like the belief about how all questions will be answered after death. And this song reflects that. You hum and hum, but the piper's tune doesn't seem to catch. And when it does, all is revealed. It does not catch, however, until the end. It is too late then, and it is unfortunate, for there are a great many things we would all do differently were we to have the knowledge we have now. Though my father greatly loved the band of Led Zeppelin, it took me quite a while to get into it. It was actually this song that got me into Led Zeppelin, and now I let the Led out wherever and whenever I can. This is perhaps one of their greatest songs, and I agree that it is likely the greatest song to come out of the 1900's, if for no other reason than because of it's ability to be interpereted by everybody in a completely different way. And because it's awesome. :) |
