Lack of accuracy. Clearly wrong. This song is in D Standard, not dropped D. This tab is therefore incorrect. That is all there is to it.

This song is awesome,it has got a really cool, heavy atmosphere which the solo highlights. many people say this is the the worst song on the album, but its one of my favourites. what it lacks in speed and noise it makes up in atmosphre.
