Battery

------BATTERY by Metallica
From the album "Master of Puppets"
There's about half a dozen guitar parts on the intro where Jaymz
layered acoustics, steel strings, spanish guitars and god knows what else.
One acoustic plays riff 1 and the rest of the layered guitars play along
the lines of riff 2 (I Think)
Acoustic Riff 1

verses
Crushing all decievers, mashing non-believers
Never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity
Chorus
Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
We create the battery
Chorus
I think this is pretty close. I'm not sure about the names of the
funny chords though (marked ??) I'm not too hot on theory!! :)

Repeat this figure 4 times

alone, then 4 times under
the solo and 6 times under
the verse. The notes with
a ~ under them are cue notes.
They hardly take time to sound

Now comes solo 1. Timing isn't always exact but is close.

Verses: (with Rhy. Fig. 1)
1. Welcome to where time stands still, noone lives and noone will
Moon is full never seems to change, just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the sane thing every night, I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, no windows barred , no things to make my brain seem scared
2. Build my fear of what's out there, cannot breath the open air
Whisper things into my brain, assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands, but violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well, he's getting better can't you tell?
1.Sleep my friend and you will see that dream is my reality
2.No more can they keep us in, listen damn it we will win

Juerg M. Blum, Basel, Switzerland
NOTES:
-----The whole song is in E-minor (with additional notes to create the typical
Metallica-like dissonance and aggression). Guitars are in standard tunin
g.
Be careful to play the rhythm precisely and mute notes where appropriate. Pay
special attention to notes that are played 'staccato' (i.e. muted right
AFTER they are played) in Rhythm Figures 1. The rhythm indicated above
the TAB is only to be taken relatively within each section. Bars are
only there to indicate phrasing and make the TAB more readable.
Listen to the recording!
The slides down during the verse are played as follows: Strike the whole chord
(including the 6th string), then slide only the notes on the 5th and
4th string, without striking the 6th string again, while letting all
three strings ring. The slides in the second bar of Rhythm Figure 2 are
easiest to play with the left hand using the index on the 6th string,
and ring finger and pinky on the 5th and 4th, respectively. (If this
is too difficult to you, you can alternatively play the slides as
pulloffs, playing only the notes on the 5th and 6th string.)

Rhythm Change (4/4 -> 6/8)

Bass Solo (8 measures)

The next part is played by 3 guitars. The upper notes are guitar 1,
those in the middle are guitar 2 and the lower ones are for guitar 3.
I usually play the first and second guitar simultaneously. This sounds
pretty good.

Tabbed By Paul Halvorson
I have included all of the song that I know, which is most of it. I know i'm
missing a few parts: Kirk's solo, Cliff's solo, and the rythm part before &
after Kirk's solo. If you have the parts that I didn't tab, feel free to tab
them yourself, and add them to mine and re-post this on OGLA. Feel free to
correct or add to all of my other tabs, too (The Shortest Straw, Green Hell,
Metal Militia). And sorry if this comes across all screwed up, because Eudora
really screws tabs up for spacing and stuff.
