The song starts out with some feedback that I have been able to get with lots of distortion and
volume.

I think that this is right for the most part. Whenever I play it with the recording it is
identical.

You'll probably have to get the rythms down yourself, but other than that i
think its pretty accurate. It looks like alot but its not really that much.
Hope it helps.
