tripping billies time signature

Unread post by delfinius19 » Fri Aug 11, 2006 1:38 am

Hello all, sorry if this question has already been asked, I searched back and couldnt find it though.

What is the time signature for the main riff in tripping billies.. it sounds like there might be a switch between 3 and 4 somewhere in there to make it sound kind of off, if someone could explain how to count the riff out, id apprectiate it, thank you!

Just listen for the snare.
Sometimes when I reflect on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. I think, "It is better to drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.
