Notes
Studio recording, 1998 (Life Is Peachy/Follow the Leader era). Both Munky and Head used Ibanez Universe 7-strings with DiMarzio Blaze pickups. Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier heads and cabs were used for the main riff tones. No evidence of live-only gear or alternate guitars for this section.

The riff requires tight, percussive palm muting and precise rhythm on a low-tuned 7-string, demanding good muting technique and right-hand control for clarity and punch.
