Notes

Live performance, late 1970s/early 1980s era. Paul Stanley used the Ibanez Iceman with a DiMarzio Super Distortion in the bridge for live shows. Marshall Super Lead amps were the standard Kiss live backline at the time. Settings are based on user-reported Kiss live EQ and typical Marshall usage for this genre/era. No evidence of additional pedals in the riff section; distortion is amp-based.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise rhythm, but uses straightforward power chords and moderate tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
