Great job, this song is so awesome. Hope you do more, especially "Where Moth and Rust Destroy". Thats also a song id like to learn.


frankolio - 2006-04-16

Glad you liked it. I have done more, just click other tabs by frankolio and you'll be directed there (I think). "WM&RD" is an awesome tune maybe I'll tackle it some day! Marty Friedman shreds it!!!
