..The reason I'm tabbing this is because I saw a similar transcription..
..Unfortunately, it wasn't *too* similar.  In other words, it was dead
..wrong. :)  But then, who'm I to judge?  Having said that was wrong,
..I bet mine is too. :)

..Well, that's about all I know. Sorry I'm not a wealth of information on
this song.. It's kinda hard to tell what's what through all the distortion
and feedback.. Please excuse any mistakes, and for questions/comments/critiques,
