Transcribed By: Anthony Kerr (ragefan75@hotmail.com)
This song is the first single off of RATM's "The Battle of Los Angeles." To play parts of
this song, you need to have a DigiTech Whammy Pedal. But it sounds relatively close
without it.
Intro
This is a good example of Tom Morello manipulating his equipment. First he moves in close
to his amp to generate feedback, and plays this riff to make it sound like it's echoing.
(This entire song is played in Standard tuning.)

Verse riff
This is one of the DigiTech parts I was talking about. Since I don't have a DigiTech I'm not sure how it is to be set.

That's it, I'm nearly positive that his is right. If you have any questions or comments,
please E-mail me at ragefan75@hotmail.com. The only reason I did this tab while there are
so many other ones are that the other ones are wrong. I got this from the Battle of Mexico
City DVD and watched Tom play it all.
