That should do it.  I didnt tab out the solos because there were only a few small solos
they all revolved around one area basically so you can figure them out yourselves.
Long live the Priest

actually, there is a slight thing i think might be different, i think the bridge is like this, or something close anyway; e|---------------------------| b|---------------------------| g|---------------------------| d|---------------------------| a|-7p5---7p5---7p5---7p5-7p5-| E|-----0-----0-----0---------| played 8x, then gtr.2 comes in with the B chord riff, and its played 8x over that, then a solo thingy, 8x again, solo thingy, 8x, etc. etc...

I don't see enything incorrect in this tab. Good job.

[12/31/2006 - 01:00 pm] by Mul : | Great tab, could it be that most of the solos are in c-doric scale? yeah, it just seemed like to much of a pain to tab out but i usually do solos in my tabs...check out "prisoner of your eyes", i spent a week working on that solo.
