  • Mike from Selden, Nythe wanton song and this song are not the same. the fast riff you're probably refering to in the wanton song is played with a G and its octive where as vietnow is played along the E scale, however both riffs root themselves on the (low) E string. Perhaps most similar aspect between the two is that their tempos are both between 108 and 110 beats per minute and both played with sixteenth notes.
  • J.d. from Detroit, MiI am not very adept with lyics, which is why I always carry a book of them.

    I am most unfamiliar with R.A.M., but this song makes me want to learn more about them. As a frequently protest musician, I need to know the melody and chord structure, so anyone who can help me there, please do so.

  • Sam from Cambridge, Ontario, Canadai think when Jamie says "they" he means rage; and that rage is against "fascist pigs", but he put the hyphen in the wrong spot.
  • Nick from Putnam, CtAnybody else thing the riff in this song is borrowed from Zeppelin's The Wanton Song?
  • Matt from Sulechow, PolandThis song is totally crushing, I just love listening to it, it's extremely powerful. The bass and guitar background, together with the quite simple (but great) rythmical pattern, create a perfect mixture - the song just flooows:-)
  • John from Glasgow, Scotlandwhen you talk about anti-fascist pigs, who do you mean? rage?
  • Jamie Jay from West Oxfordshire, EnglandThey aren't anti white they are anti fascist-pigs and that isn't always the same thing, in fact who am i to tell you who they are against?
  • Jamie Jay from West Oxfordshire, EnglandI like the bit when Y.Tim.K shouts 'huh' over and over again ( off the beet) while Brad Wilk does a smart little rhythmical trip-up on the drums.
  • Jamie Jay from West Oxfordshire, EnglandWhen he says 'coming down like bats from Stacey Coon' it sound like 'bats from Stacey Coonan!'
