Notes

Studio recording for 'Demolition Lovers' (2002, 'I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love'). Gear confirmed for this era and album. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section. Settings are based on forum and genre-typical use of this amp for MCR's early sound.

Difficulty

The riff requires moderately fast, consistent downstrokes and tight palm muting, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm, making it accessible to intermediate players.
