Notes

Studio recording, 1997. Gear confirmed for Doyle in this era includes his custom Annihilator guitar with high-output humbucker and Marshall 1960A/B cabs. MXR Distortion+ used for gain. No evidence of other pedals or effects for the riff section. Settings estimated based on typical punk/Marshall setup and lack of explicit studio documentation.

Difficulty

The riff is fast and requires tight, aggressive downstrokes and palm muting, but uses simple power chords and straightforward rhythm, making it accessible to most players with basic punk technique.
