================================================================================================= Song: Metal Knights Artist: Nasty Savage Album: Nasty Savage (1985) Tabbed by Chris Rezendes (dudemcrude@yahoo.com) Date started tab: 7-22-02 Date finished tab: 7-22-02 Tuning: Standard Notation Key v: vibrato t: tremolo bar ^: bend .: palm mute ~: trill p: pull-off h: hammer-on x: ghost note /: slide up \: slide down Comments: This song reflects well on the fact that there was fake metal in the 80's just as much as there is now, especially with Ronnie's screaming "Posers will die"! Bands like Motley Crue and Poison were the same to true metal then as bands like System of a Down and Papa Roach are now. I think the tab came out just fine, if you spot any mistakes, feel free to point them out to me. Later. ================================================================================================= Riff 1 x8 e|-------------------|-------------------| B|-------------------|-------------------| G|-------------------|-------------------| D|-------------------|-------------------| A|-------------------|------------2------| E|--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--|--5-3-5-3-5---5-3--| Fig. 1 x2 e|-----------------|-----------------| B|-----------------|-----------------| G|-----------------|-----------------| D|-----------------|----------4---7--| A|--4---4---9---7--|--4---4---2---5--| E|--2---2---7---5--|--2---2----------| Repeat Riff 1 x9 Repeat Fig. 1 x2 Riff 2 x2 (under solo) e|-------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--777-777-777-777-555-555-555-555-333-333-333-333-555-555-555-555--| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------| Fig. 2 x6 e|-----------------------------|------------------------------| B|-----------------------------|------------------------------| G|-----------------------------|------------------------------| D|------------------7-11-9-12--|------------------12----------| A|------------------5--9-7-10--|------------------10-12-10-9--| E|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------------|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----10--8-7--| Repeat Riff 1 x8 Repeat Fig. 1 x2 Fig. 3 x2 e|--------------|--------------| B|--------------|--------------| G|--------------|--------------| D|--11----------|--11----------| A|---9----9--7--|---9----9-12--| E|--------7--5--|--------7-10--| D|-----| A|--4--| End with some speed picking on the second fret of the E string, and this E|--2--|
