CRUSH WITH EYELINER Song: Crush, With Eyeliner Album: Monster Tab: Ryan Bannon Comments: So, Rickentalkers requested tab of "Crush, With Eyeliner". So, why not deliver? The version I'm presenting mixes variations of Peter's live performance. The most important element of this song is the amplified tremolo. I don't know if it's from a pedal or his VOX amp. (Actually, I think the studio version uses his amp, pedal on the tour). Please note that, when Peter plays it live, Nathan (December) uses the tremolo, not Peter. So, if you listen to that opening chord on live Monster shows, that's Nathan. Peter comes in right after that. Again, this is just a template. Listen to different live versions and make stuff up based on this. Also, where I have written down open strings between chords, that usually means to strum between chords.

INTRO VERSE #1 CHORUS #1 VERSE #2 CHORUS #2 SOLO VERSE #3 CHORUS #3 CHORUS #4 CHORUS #5 END ---- From: "Marc" Ryan are you sure about that solo? I'm pretty sure that it's played like this: e|--------7---------------------|-----10----10----10------12----12----12--15-| B|--7-----7---------------------|-------10----10------------12----12------15-| G|--9b11-----r9--7b9r7-5v-------|-9h11----11----11---11h13----13----13----12-| D|-gradual-----------------7----|--------------------------------------------| A|------------------------------|--------------------------------------------| E|-----play this part twice-----|--------------------------------------------| Especially that first part is really different than what you tabbed. What do the others think? About the chorus: I think that one of the guitars just plays normal barre chords, i.e. like this: e|-7--7--x--5--5--x--3--3-/-5--5--5--x-------| B|-9--9--x--7--7--x--3--3-/-5--5--5--x-------| G|-9--9--x--7--7--x--4--4-/-6--6--6--x-------| D|-9--9--x--7--7--x--5--5-/-7--7--7--x--etc.-| A|-7--7--x--5--5--x--5--5-/-7--7--7--x-------| E|-------------------3--3-/-5--5--5--x-------| Actually I think that the guitar without tremolo is playing the above, and the guitar with tremolo is playing what you tabbed. And about the pre-chorus: I think the guitar with tremolo plays this: e|------------0--------------------|----------- B|------------0--------------------|----------- G|-4--4--4--4-4---4-4-4------------|----------- D|-4--4--4--4-4---4-4-4------------|--chorus--- A|-2--2--2--2-2---2-2-2--2-0-------|----------- E|---------------------------2qbr2-|----------- qb=quarterbend I read in an interview that Peter used the tremolo of his Mesa/Boogie trem-o-verb amp on this song, so he didn't use a pedal. But maybe they did use one live. ----- Chords by: Bryan Killingsworth (akilling@pen.k12.va.us) Corrections by: Jan Chalupa (honza@abrcp.abrcp.cz) Fill Riff from: Brandon Couillard (sleeper@hotmail.com) [Note: amp tremolo used on all verses, off on chorus and bridge] Electric guitar fill-in during 2nd & 3rd stanzas: b=bend Add Overdrive for great sound without amp tremelo |-----hold-----| e----2b---------------------------------- B----3b--------------0-----2------------- G----2b---------------0----2------------- D---------------------0----2------------- A---------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------- Intro: A (with feedback, etc) A G D (x 2 with delay) A G D I know you.
