THE BLACKBOARD - Riot Act
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:The Animal
Another catchy tune by Riot Act. The fast drum beat gives it that
foot tapping quality. Mike plays this one with a little more distortion
than usual to give it more treble, letting the notes scream a little more.
