This is the third Slipknot tab that I have tabbed in my guitarist career. I think that this
song should get more credit because it is so good. It is one of their earlier songs off of
the album, "IOWA". This is a tough song and you need a little energy to play it well. I
think with practice, you can get it down to a science. GOOD LUCK! SLIPKNOT RULEZ! And one
thing, don't give me all this bull sh*t how some other loser tabbed this song because this
is mostly my own work. But I would like to give partial credit to thomas
(no7ofslipknot baby!). I used some information from his tab on TabCrawler.com (tm). Only
SOME information, not all, the rest is my own work. The only reason they might be "similar"
is because there both right and how else would you tab it? I wouldn't make a tab wrong just
to say its my own work. Just go play all your little guitars and respect the song. Ya gotta
admit, it's a good tab, right?

Thats It!
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official SLIPKNOT tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
