NO PAVEL U SUCK MONKEY PENIS

your tellin him his tabs terrible, sure its not perfect but you cant even spell RIGHT!

Good tab, but the song is played with drop d tunning, the intro starts on low d and should be played with some distortion and digital delay. The fills should be octaves not just notes on the g string. At the end of the solo, you should use octaves, and not the full power chords. I think the lead guitar also does a pick slide after the intro is played right before the chorus/outro. Other then that it's a decent tab. well done lad. ;)
