DiStUrBeD "Down With The Sickness" by:ChAAPY

 ok i know that this here is 100% correct mk. i got to see Dan Draiman play this live
 at OZZfest and EVERY RIFF is CORRECT. now u will see a ton of diff. ways to play the
 intro but this is the way Dan plays it ok. and also over the ENTIRE internet i have
 not seen ONE tab that has the chorus right so i tabbed it out from seein it live and
 the video and sum by ear. enjoy!!!

InertZero0InertZero0Unknown Date
Great tab! The only thing wrong is the guitarist's name. It's Dan Donegan, the singer is Dave Draiman, got the two mixed there. =/

I think it is a great tab dude. The only correction I would make is if you listen to the song it sounds muted, so I mute the intro part when I play it. Good Job though man.

Well first, great tab. But in the intro, yes I do not really care if Dan Donegan plays it differently live, but at least for me, it is easier to play the intro on the Db (4th) string. I'm not saying it's better, but some may find it easier with a very similar sound.
