I saw this song tabbed with the intro hitting the G and high e strings open but that isn't right because when you have distortion on the notes keep ringing and it sounds like crap.  Here is the correct way to play it.  I am pretty sure this is 100% correct.  If you have any comments or changes please email me @ webmaster@bmxplosive.com.  Thanks and enjoy!
