			BATTERY by Metallica
	           From the album "Master of Puppets"

	There's about half a dozen guitar parts on the intro where Jaymz
 layered acoustics, steel strings, spanish guitars and god knows what else.
 One acoustic plays riff  1 and the rest of the layered guitars play along
 the lines of riff 2 (I Think)

Acoustic Riff 1

Start with Acoustic Riff 1 once and then while that keeps playing Gtr II plays

 Riff 2  Riff 2b Riff2  Riff2

Then the electrics come crashing in:-

    E5                E5 E5 F5         Gmaj7                     G5

E-|--0-----------------0--0--1--------|--2-----------------2--2--3------------

While 2 other electrics play Riffs 2 and 2b
This continues for several bars and then

     Weak are ripped  and  torn   away

Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hipnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay


With Fill 1

E5     			       C5
Smashing through the boundrys, lunacy has found me
	     F5 F5 F#/Eb
Cannot stop the battery

Riff 3


With Fill 1

E5			C5
Pounding out agression, turned into obsession
	     F5 F5 F#/Eb
Cannot stop the battery

Riff 3 (first 2 bars)

E5              B5      G5	    F#/Eb
Cannot kill the family, battery has grounded me

Riff 3 (first 3 bars)|
		     |
Bb5 F5 E5	     |  	Play this several
Bat-ter-y 	     |      times and then back to the next verse

Outro:
	Repeat lots		Last time

verses

Crushing all decievers, mashing non-believers
Never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity

Chorus

Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
We create the battery

Chorus


	I think this is pretty close. I'm not sure about the names of the
funny chords though (marked ??) I'm not too hot on theory!! :)

como en esta parte porque en mi guitarra no suena igual que n la canción


Rainer September 1, 2004, 22:37 

Me parece entendible, tocable, y va acorde con la cancion, pero veo q no ilustran el solo ni el acompañamiento de la 2da guitarra en el solo, ese es el detalle de la cancion, el solo


Rainer September 1, 2004, 22:40 

I see, it's nice, but you have to show the solo, it's very important, please if you can modify the tab, I will be pleased, do it man... I need just a detail, only one detail from that solo. thanks

DanTe'' November 12, 2006, 21:56 

In a war between MEGADETH and METALLICA, theres no doubt Metallica would own ... 3 consecutive years, megadeth was nominated for an award and Metallica took it from them ... Dave Mustaine was a REJECTED Metallica member, and Thank God he made way for Kirk Hammett ... Not that Megadeth isnt good, but Metallica is better.


good tab December 9, 2006, 6:28 

damn...........
