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 ...

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 ...

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

born-and-bred Roman Catholic...always have been and always will be.

i picked up a bass after 1 year of nonactivity in the instrumental aspect of music...i've played for 6 months and i know between 50-60 songs [but can only play about 20 of them straight through with no mistakes]...first song i learned on bass was Bed of Razors by Children of Bodom.

i started out with guitar when i was eleven; however the year i turned twelve i kinda fell out of playing it or any other instrument because i focused a lot on my vocalizing for almost an entire year. just this past February i got back into instruments, this time the bass, and now six months later ...

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 ...

Anthem of the World [bass]
Eagle Heart [bass]
Cold Winter Nights [bass]
Forever [guitar]
Paradise [bass]
Destiny [bass]
Speed of Light [bass]

i don't play guitar much...as you can probably see,

Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Ozzy, old Metallica, Judas Priest, Billy Idol...the guys i grew up listening to before i got into European metal.
