Why are AMSCO's lyrics always wrong? March 22, 2009
Jon James Bochnik (Yonkers, New York United States)
While I can agree that some of the tabbing AMSCO does is incorrect, I must also state that the lyrics are most of the time wrong, too. While some songs contain a few substituted words, some are VERY wrong and very humerous when you know the real lyrics.
Case in point AC/DC's "Snowballed."
Here are the actual lyrics from the 1982 "For Those About to Rock" chord book:
1. Crashed out of the market,
Out on the floor, washed up on the shore.
Bombed out of the city,
Out of the door, blown up against the wall.
2. Put out of the picture,
Axe about to fall, walk before you crawl.
Dragged down to the bottom screaming for air,
The shark must get his share.
Now, these are the first two verses as written by AMSCO in this particular book:
1. Pushed down on the mountain,
Colder than hell, busted on the shelf.
Workin' on the scenery,
Tired of the view, Thrown up `gainst the wall.
Put out of the picture,
Rocks about to fall, walk before you fall.
Land into the gutter,
Screaming for air, you should have stayed inside.
As you can see laughable wrong! There are, what, THREE words correct in the first verse? At least the second verse has a few more correct words.
Is it that hard for AMSCO to do proper research on the lyrics?
As for the music, I haven't gone through all of it, but I am at least learning how to play the songs, correct or not. They do sound pretty good to me, however. There are some unusually hard fingerings in AMSCO's tabs (see "The Jack" from High Voltage) that are tough for a 6 foot 2 man with decent sized hands, so I know they would be impossible for a particular 5 foot 3 Australian guitar player we all know.
Back to the lyric issue, the funny thing is, I have earlier AC/DC books published by AMSCO that have the lyrics correct. So what happened here?
Beware of Incorect tabbing! April 9, 2004
Micheal Hunt (Hellbourne)
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Beware when purchasing any AMSCO books that tab AC/DC.... some are correct, but alot, infact TOO MANY are tabbed incorectly... i dont just mean there in wrong positions... i mean they havent even tabbed the same song... this particuler book dosent have too many mistakes, but beware that a couple of songs are not 100% correct. But this is about the only book that comes close by AMSCO. Avoid any other AMSCO titles for AC/DC!
