 ANTHRAX - Metal Thrashing Mad (from Fistful Of Metal)
 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

 Transcribed by Gašper Fatur (metalizator@slomail.com). I haven't tabed
 the solo yet, but the rest of the song is here. I think I did it very
 close to original one. Folow the notes above the tabs and the REPEATs.
 And rhythm has been transcribed very good too. But listen to the song
 few times to get the right feeling. And here is the TAB Explanation:

  ÿ  <-- This note must be palm muted.
  °  <-- That note should be palm muted.
 /,\ <-- Slide up,down to the note.
 4h5 <-- Hammer-on from left note to right one.
 (5) <-- The sound of note must ring still.
  |  <-- These are thicks, they separate measures.
