The madness begins. I didn't make these lower parts up, they're just hard to hear
(the higher notes nearly drown them out completely.) I had to listen to the song
at 3/4 and 1/2 speed (thanks, Youtube) repeatedly to hear all of the notes from
this point until the end.

This part's probably not accurate, it's at the part where the girls scream.
I listened to several bootlegs (I know, they're not always reliable) and
it seems that there's no high string playing or if there is,
it's in ghost note territory.
