The following part is played relatively fast, so i recommend practise those scales to
killer chops...

okay, unfortunately thats all i have... hopefully, that should get you started, the
in the solo is spaced out for legibility, and it played quite fast, thats why it hard for me
tab it... i will hopefully have the rest of it done soon...

	Oh. I see. Like Malcolm X, too. There's a quote by him at the beginning.

	"What does he mean by: "When a leader speaks, that leader dies.." ??" That's an interesting proposition by vagabondstar. I interpreted it differently though. I thought that they meant when a leader speaks they figuratively "die" because a leader is supposed to represent the voice of the people, not their own voice or opinion on any specific subject matter, and thus, they are a leader no longer.

	This is a cover of an older funk/rock song.. Which is also good "What does he mean by: "When a leader speaks, that leader dies.." ?? " It pretty much means when someone stands up for their beliefs, they have a chance of getting killed by someone who opposes. Like Martin Luther King Jr who stood up for a cause but was murdered for it pretty much

	omg the bass owns, and the guitar owns.

	you know, not every cult of personality is bad, let's take Jesus for example. But what is scary about it is how some people sacrifice their free will to follow it. Even now there are some mexicans who crusify themselves... why?

	IMO, I think all cults of personality are pretty much bad. Be yourself, don't follow others. Using Jesus as an example? I was raised Jewish, my dad's Jewish, my mom's Roman Catholic, but that doesn't matter because I don't really believe in religion whatsoever. I think that Jesus was a sorta dillusional fella who got played up by the "three wise men" to be some kind of Messiah because it was foretold that the messiah would be born on that day or whatever (been a while since I was given a religious lecture), but I think he just believed he was God's son because that's what he was always taught.
