Song: Metabolic
Artist: Slipknot
Album: Iowa
Tabbed by: Christian / silent_warrior_@hotmail.com

This one took some time to tab..but it's worth it. I tried to make it as detailed as 
possible..as you can see I put the times that each part is supposed to be played.  
This should be very accurate. Play the harmonics on the 3rd fret (3.75 to be exact). 
Don't move up a fret..I heard some people move up a fret when playing harmonics. 
Please rate this tab if you use it..thanks! 

PM - Palm mute the notes that have a - under them
p - Pull off
/ - Slide up
~ - Vibrato
* - Harmonic


Tuning: B F# B E G# C#

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture David Rhythm Player	#1 by David Bradley at Sep 14, 1972 at 9:39 PM EST
	It's the follow up to diluted...about how his dad fucked him over. Him being corey.

No Picture Matt Wanna Be	#2 by Matt Sakrosky at Jun 9, 1986 at 1:11 AM EST
	While I can’t say as I know what the band means by this song I do know what it means to me. Every time I listen to this song or any other Slipknot song I hear deep religious undertones and it really explains how I feel some times when I’m pissed off at God for one reason or another. “I deny - I fold, but they keep on coming” is like “I give up just let me die” but the problems of life keep knocking me down. “I'm out-stretched out for all to loathe Here we go - the ultimate irony” Christ on the Cross and I’ll place myself there too some day to be judged and spite on by all. Good song Slipknot is one of the best.

No Picture keith Lead Player	#3 by keith at Aug 1, 1988 at 6:21 PM EST
	Yea, really obsessive. Almost creepy. Awesome song. And it is about Corey's dad. It's one of my favorites. "I'm out-stretched out for all to loathe Here we go - the ultimate irony " The best part of the song in my opinion.
