This is a cool song off the new album..enjoy playing it!  The intro is played throughout

also a 2nd guitar using a wah pedal, but since I don't have a wah pedal, I did not tab those 
parts.

	nothing wrong with supercharger and the burning red, i've been an MH fan since Burn My Eyes and personally I think that the burning red is the best, so to all of you wasting up space for us true MH fans Fuck You Very Much!

No Picture Jimmy Average	#2 by Jimmy Dresbach at Apr 30, 1973 at 2:42 PM EST
	I agree trephination is good, as well as bulldozer, the rest of the album though is awful. This is probably the wrost song on the album and is a disgrace to the band.

No Picture Michael Rhythm Player	#3 by Michael Roache at Aug 11, 1974 at 6:43 AM EST
	the burning red was ok but supercharger is shit except of this and deafening silence...nu metal should be baned

No Picture Nick Average	#4 by Nick Vanderstelt at Jan 5, 1975 at 5:11 AM EST
	"DECO, this isnt anywahere near their worst, try the last song on TMTC, "colors". its a piss-poor attempt at a rap." That isn't the actual closer of The More Things Change. "Blood of the Zodiac is. "Colors" is a Japanese bonus track cover of an Ice-T song. Also, on the Hellalive album, he changes Slayer to Metallica in the bridge verse.

	Get rid of most of Supercharger (trephination is awesome) and The Burning Red. Through the Ashes of Empires should have been their 3rd release. Still a bad ass band.
