Rage - Lost In The Ice guitar tab
Artist : Rage
Song: Lost in the Ice
Album: The Missing Link
Tabbed by: Neil Flavelle flavelle@alphalink.com.au
If Peavy somehow happens to read this, you're my hero, and that you should
change back to Execution days, because it's the best Rage and thrash metal album ever!
Well here it is, an almost complete tab of one of Rage's finest songs,
Lost in the Ice. If anyone wants to tab the fast half of the solo, be my guest.
Tune down half a step on every string, or one fret.

The next verse is just the finger picking riff above. Listen to the recording if you must.
After "A city forgotten, on top of the world" play
"They had headphones, stuck to their skulls" Play twice, with the same ending
as the heavy part above. Then
play twice without the ending.

It sounds basically the same, but I'm sure it's what Rage are playing. Then play the
"Now they are lost in the ice, lost in the ice!" riff twice, and go get an orchestra.
After the orchestra the fast part of the solo comes on, which I can't be bothered tabbing,
so just improvise over
pm all of it

Manni plays this part of the solo without hammers or pull-offs, he plays tripplets.
But it's much easier this way.

That's pretty much it, except for the part "And we walked beneath the city, hours and
hours" with is like the same riff as "They had headphones stuck to their skulls", except
up 2 and half tones, or play one string higher. Have fun.
Just a note on the pm symbol. pm means palm mute, and the dot above the lines show which
notes to mute.
