Notes

Studio recording for 'I Stand Alone' (2001/2002). Tony Rombola is seen with a Gibson Les Paul Standard in the official video and is documented using a Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier for recording in this era. Other amps (Diamond, Splawn) are mentioned in general, but the Triple Rectifier is most strongly associated with this song's riff tone.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise palm muting and tight rhythm under high-gain settings, with aggressive picking and control to maintain clarity and articulation, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
