This is all by listening to recordings of them playing it live with bvad quality videos and screaming fans, so
 if it's not very good, that's why. I've played this along with the video though, and it sounded fine. Hope 
you guys like this :D
I recently got a comment saying I needed to fix this, so I did. I hope this helps.
PS If you want me to fix something, please ask nicely, don't say "I don't know how you got this approved," 
because that makes me feel like it was really bad. In this, my computer deleted the lyrics the first time, 
so that's why they weren't on there. I'm really sorry, but please be nice next time.
again, this is all by ear to a bad quality video, so please be nice if you have a correction :)
