Notes

Studio recording, 1997. Richard Z. Kruspe played the main riff on the album version. Paul Landers used a different tuning and did not play the lead/riff part. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section; distortion is from the amp. Tuned to Drop C for the main riff. No evidence of live/touring gear for this specific recording.

The riff is based on power chords and palm muting, requiring tight rhythm and stamina, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex chord voicings.
