Notes
Live performance, 1996 (Prague). Billie Joe Armstrong uses two Marshall Super Lead heads with custom gain mods, running both heads together for his main live rhythm tone. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; distortion is from amp gain and mods.

The riff requires fast, consistent downstrokes and tight palm muting at a high tempo, but uses straightforward power chords and punk rhythm patterns.
