Notes
Studio recording, 2005-2006 era (The Poison album sessions). Main riff section features Matt Tuck on rhythm guitar. Gear confirmed for studio use on this album and song. Clean intro riff is played by Padge, but main riff is Matt Tuck with high-gain rhythm tone.

The riff requires tight, articulate palm muting and precise alternate picking at a moderate tempo, with some syncopated rhythm patterns that demand good timing and control.
