#------------------------------------------------------------------------------##

'Lo all,

Here's the tab of Faith No More's "Be Aggressive".  I'm pretty sure what I
have here is fairly accurate.  I didn't tab out the solo though...


First, there's the keyboard part:
E-|----------|---------|---------------|--------|---------|--------------|
B-|----5--4--|-5-4-5---|---------------|---5--4-|-5-4-5---|--------------|
G-|----------|-------4-|-5-------------|--------|-------4-|-5------------|
D-|----------|---------|----7--8--7--5-|--------|---------|---7-8--------|
A-|----------|---------|---------------|--------|---------|--------------|
E-|-0--------|---------|---------------|-0------|---------|--------15\\\-|


Then all the instruments come in and you play this with a real sh*tty
distortion and lots and LOTS of wah:
E-|-----------------------|---------------|--------------------
B-|-----------------------|---------------|--------------------
G-|------7--6--7----------|---------------|------7--6--7-------
D-|------6--5--6----------|---------------|------6--5--6------->>>>>
A-|------7--6--7----------|-----2-3-4-----|------7--6--7----0--
E-|-0--0---------0--7-7-0-|-0-0--------3--|-0--0---------0-----


The first time through the main
riff, play this lead at the end:      The second time, do this one:
E-|-12-12-12-12---------------------|-------12----14-14-------14/16----------|
B-|-12----------15-12----12---------|-0--------12----12----12------(art.harm)|
G-|-------------------14----12------|---/13-------------14----------16-16-16-|
D-|----------------------------14\--|----------------------------------------|
A-|---------------------------------|----------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------|----------------------------------------|
*(art.harm) means artificial harmonics.  You don't HAVE to, but if you're
an*l and you want it EXACLY like the record, fine, be that way...

There's some other little lead fills besides those two, but I don't think
they're really necessary.  Those two are the coolest ones anyway.

This here part is for the chorus.  Faith No More is not a guitar-based
band so they kinda bury the guitar in most songs.  This is mostly just
muting and raking the strings:
E-|---------------------------|-------------------------|---------------------|
B-|---------------------------|-------------------------|---------------------|
G-|---------------------------|-------------------------|---------------------|
D-|---x-x---x-x-x---x-x-x-----|-x-x-x--x-x-x--x-x-x-----|-x-x-x--x-x-x--x-x-x-|
A-|---x-x-5-x-x-x---x-x-x-4-5-|-x-x-x--x-x-x--x-x-x-5-7-|-x-x-x--x-x-x--x-x-x-|
E-|-0-x-x---x-x-x---x-x-x-----|-x-x-x--x-x-x--x-x-x-----|-x-x-x--x-x-x--x-x-x-|

E-|-----------------------|
B-|-----------------------|
G-|-----------------------|
D-|-x-x-x--x-x-x----------|then back to the main riff.
A-|-x-x-x--x-x-x--4-5-6-7-|
E-|-x-x-x--x-x-x----------|

I don't know exactly WHAT to call this next part but it's in there.  I
think it comes in after the second chorus before going into the keyboard
part from the beginning and then again at the end (outro):
E-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
G-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D-|---------------------------------3-4-5-6-3-4-5-6-3-4-5-6-3-4-5-6--3-4-5|
A-|-4-5-6-7-4-5-6-7-4-5-6-7-4-5-6-7---------------------------------------|
E-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Anyway, just mix the above riffs together where they should be
and you'll at least get something that SOUNDS very much like "Be
Aggressive".  The solo's just a bunch of noise in E, so I didn't tab it out.
send it via personal email.

Here's the lyrics:

I started this.
It's all for me.
What's yours is mine and mine is mine, that's plain to see.
So give it up.
I've got to have.
I swallow, I swallow, I swallow, I swallow.

(chorus):
Be aggressive.
B-E aggressive.
B-E-A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E.
Be aggressive.
B-E aggressive.
B-E-A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E.

What someone else
Would leave behind
And spit it out, let go to waste, I claim as mine.
You're my flavor
Of the week
I swallow, I swallow, I swallow, I swallow.

Tall and reckless
Ugly seed.
Reach down my throat you filthy bird. That's all I need!
This empty pit.
I've got to feed
To prove I'm fit. A healthy man I've got to be.
Malnutrition
My submission.
You're the master and I'll take it on my knees.
Ejaculation,
Tribulation.
I swallow, I swallow, I swallow, I swallow.

(Cheerleaders: GO, FIGHT, GO, FIGHT, GO, FIGHT, GO, FIGHT, WIN!!!)
