Comments: This tab was originally transcribed by Jay Siebert(who's name i forgot
to include when i first submitted this tab), however i have made LOTS of
coorrections to that tab, in order to make it easier for you to play it.
Add lot of distortion and flanger to riffs A,A.2 and B to make them sound right.
If you got any any comments, suggestions or corrrections, please email me.
