x------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
