This is basically to touch up the old tabs. This is how I play it.
Its easier, More efficient, and in my eyes correct. GuitarWorld did a
Write up on Ironmaiden's heaviest riffs and played it like this

G--------------------------7--7--7--7------------------
D--0--0--0--4--0--5--0--7--7--7--7--7------------------

But one, Its not efficient on time, Therfore more difficult to play
why play it a hard way if there is an easier way that is the same.
Sure, it involves string skipping without the actual skipping of strings
Just up and down picking like "Diary of a madman" or "Crazy train"
Both employed by eighties metal god Randy Rhoads.
