yep, MySongbook is the place to go...however some of the tabs there are a bit off...just a word of warning. [tip: the ones with 3.5-5 stars and a high hit rate the best ones to go for]

Iron Maiden. started off with them when i was 5 i think...my sister and my uncle responsible for that, heh.

Billy Idol...the guys i grew up listening to before i got into European metal. :D :lol: sorry man, but your life sucked! :D Don´t worry, mine too! lol i blame my sis for the Billy Idol thing. she grew up in the 80's, i was born in 1990...so yeah, back when i was 5 or 6 i did everything she did and ...

i have difficulty singing Destiny...my vocal range spans two and a half octaves, but the 2 full ones are both below the high C [the one that's one octave above middle C]. the half-octave is the four notes above high C, depends on which key tho, heh...Paradise is hard for me too, but not as hard as D...

well...i do know a few versions- not by heart, though, but pretty well. Anglo-Saxon, Orlandic, Viking, and Tolkien...in fact i made my own sticker for my bass; it has my favourite quote written in Angl-Saxon runes:D

i have four...however i share the guitars with my bros, :D -Johnston 6-string acoustic [22 frets, cherry red w/imitation Gibson inlays *heh*] -Jackson Randy Rhoads V GT 6-string electric [24 frets, black w/dot inlays and handmade crusader-cross sticker, bolt-on/string-thru-body] -Jackson Warrior XT ...
