Wow. That was totally unnecessary njustice4all. What are you, like...6 years old? Go get ****ing laid. This tab isn't too bad. Maybe he didn't tab the solo because it's nothing but Kerry King wiping his penis across the strings and anally *** himself with the whammy bar. It's not a solo at all.
to njustice4all, yes i too love metallica's and just for all, but dude, get a grip! what the hell is your problem? this is exactly how its played in the concerts...why don't you make your own tab for this before you criticize anothers! the solo isn't technically a solo, its just random whammy ****ing
the 3 guy is gay he spelled know wrong [nkow]ha ha ha **** you ******* at laest he posted a tab u prob cant even play hah lol nkow ha ha hoe bag
