Notes
Studio recording, 1989 (album released 1989, recorded late 1988/early 1989). All evidence points to direct guitar-to-amp signal chain, no pedals or effects used for the main riff section. No evidence of live/touring gear or alternate setups for this recording.

Difficulty
The riff requires fast, aggressive downstrokes and tight palm muting at a high tempo, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm patterns typical of punk, making it accessible to intermediate players.
