Notes

Live performance, 1992. John Christ is documented using a Marshall Super Lead 100 with a ProCo Rat pedal for Danzig I/II era, and this is consistent with live footage and fan reports from the period. No evidence of additional effects or amp-based reverb/delay in the riff section. Bedrock amps were used in the studio but not confirmed for this live show.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires tight palm muting, aggressive picking, and precise timing to capture the song's signature drive and punch.
