Fight Fire With Fire By: Metallica Tabbed By: Kane Bochatyn (JenoUnion) What a fun bass track this was to tab! Cliff played superbly on Fight Fire With Fire, having a clean backing to the intro with guitar, but also finds time to kick in heavy distortion during the rest of the song. This is one of my personal favorites from Metallica, so here you go. Any questions, comments, or concerns, email me at DarkCloud1916@aolcom OR CryofthePlanet@hotmail.com. As always, this is based off of Cliff Burton's original bassline, and the link to FFWF is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PLyTjCPVwQ Enjoy!

Great song, really fun. Enjoy! Watch out for the "Riff O' Death" parts, those are fast and really hard to get.
