Notes

Studio recording, 1999, 'Famous Monsters' album. Doyle's Annihilator guitar with a single DiMarzio X2N bridge humbucker into a Marshall JCM800. No confirmed pedalboard for this session; distortion is primarily from amp and possibly a boost/distortion pedal. No evidence of modulation or time-based effects in the riff section.

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.
