Hi again!
Well, I guess I've tasted blood haha. This is one of my Mötley Crüe favourites (it's
one of their favourite tunes btw). The bass is very dominant in this song compared with the
and I think it' fun playing it.
Though Nikki's bass is always in D-G-C-F I've tabbed this in standard-tuning, it works flawlessely
