Ok, so I'm really a guitar player, but I can slap a little bass as well.
Really, I made this tab for my bass player because the other tabs on here
were almost completely inaccurate and didn't have the correct note spacing.
I figured out this tab by watching a YouTube video of David Ellefson playing
this song along with his iPod because I couldn't really hear the bass on the
original recording well enough to figure it out.  Check out the video and
you will discover the method behind the madness.
