It might be Fireball Mail but that ain't how I heared it.

I think I pretty much got it licked, but I need to get it about 10bpm faster.

I found that holding down the string at the end of the initial 2 >5 slide (ie keeping your finger on the 4th string 5th fret as long as possible) gives the tune more body; it can sound a little 'snatched' if you release immediately at the end of the slide. After all, you dont need that finger for a little while with all those forward rolls... give it a try, it works for me!
