Hey all. This is my rendition of Ashes in the Fall by Rage Against the Machine. There may 

be minor errors but it all seems right to my ear. You will need a whammy pedal and some 
mid-tempo delay. Maybe a wah to boost the higher frequencies but that can be done with a 
simple EQ. Anyhoo, here's the tab, it is my first so please excuse errors. I find it to 
be a quite excellent song, big shame they fell apart.

Now in this part I'm not too sure on how to get the various harmonics going
Just play around with it til you get something that sounds like it should

Unfortunately, this is another riff that is fairly elusive to my ears. it sounds correct 
to me but I'm not 100% sure.

For Fig 7. Just play an A at 10 on the B string and mess with the whammy pedal while 
fading out

That should be it for the song!

	This is the new sound Just like the old sound Just like the noose wound Over the new ground In other words, history WILL repeat itself just as droutkast said. This war with Iraq just might be the breaking point, it's coming, just know when it is. We ned to realize that we really can't just sit here and be bossed around, we HAVE TO STAND UP! We can't let down or they have won. They want us to lie down, and take the punches, because they need the money. Money is our enemy, not Iraq, and as soon as the American people realize this, it will have already have been too late.

	"Actually the members of RATM rarely talked out side of making music. They didn't get along with each other very well. I highly doubt that he hated white people. He was a smarter man than that." Yeah. Iv'e heard that he misteriously disapeared all the time when they were writing/recording stuff without telling anyone. I think I heard one of them said they havew wrote more stuff in one month with Chris cornnel in Audioslave than they had the entire time with Zach. Zach's a cool guy but he doesnt sound like hes very presistent for his music. He is supost to be writing his album with DJ Shadow and some other producers. But Shadow said on his website that he was finsihing up with him and was supost to go for a session with someone else the next day but he never showed up. His been missing since. I hope hes ok.

	droutkast, you really like to hear yourself talk dont you...

No Picture Lee Professional Badass	#4 by Lee the bass player, known as blacktooth90™ at Aug 14, 1997 at 8:49 PM EST
	its funny cuz tommy was really black, and zack wasnt black. he was mexican. but besides that, the entire point of this song and all of their other songs is not to make you want to kill the people that have wronged you, but to figure out who your enemy is and make sure they cant do that shit again. ps; does anyone know WHY rage broke up? im stumped.

	This song has a creepy feeling to it... well, the entire album has. Something like the end of the world is near or something like that.
