Whiplash "Power Thrashing Death" from POWER AND PAIN (1985)
Tabbed 11/19/02 by Nick S. If you have any questions, feel free to send me an
E-mail w/ the subj. "Power Thrashing Death tabs" or "Whiplash tabs" but I
must warn you I might not be able to answer your question(s) 'cause I bought
this CD used on EBay & it skips on some songs so I have to send it back. I
decided I'd learn a few of the songs that don't skip by ear before sending it
back 'cause I haven't seen any other Whiplash tabs anywhere on the Internet.
I hope this tab is helpful to you, I think it will be. I'm not saying what
stuff is palm-muted 'cause you can tell by listening to the song. Turn the
distortion all the way up and start thrashin'!!

About the hammer-on/pull-off part: If you can't play that fast, take it
slowly first and then start speeding up. I still can't play it as fast as TP
does. And just so you know, you'll probably see any wild lightning-fast
hammer-on/pull-off crap like that from me again. I was lucky this time.

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 WHIPLASH 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.
