	Yo this is by far the greatest song that metallica has ever written and i know that this tab is the only one that is actually right becuase i have met Dakota at a local show and he is the best bassist in the world!:):) I know that he will never fail to disappoint with his tabs, the moral is, if you see a tab by senour dakota you know that you are looking at the greatest tab ever to be posted.:)
