Song: How I Could Just Kill A Man
Band: Rage Against The Machine
Album: Renegades (2000)
Bass: Tim Commerford

This is a very cool song. Both of the verse riffs a kind of hard
to be figured out but I'm pretty sure that this is right.

Anyway, it does sound good this way. I tried to add some timing
for help.

This song is played in drop-D-tuning GDAD

this song is amazing. i love how the whole renegades album is cover songs.the cypress hill version isnt bad either, for those of u lookin for a good rap song. good rap, kinda an oxymoron, isnt it?? but this song rules in all versions. i think i agree that putos is male bitch b/c cypress hill always did a bit of spanish in their songs..... according to my spanish friend, puta is bitch.

That is correct. It is a Cypress Hill song. If you'd listen to their version, you'd probably think it sucks because it's more rap.
