Notes
Studio recording, released 2004 on 'A Hangover You Don't Deserve'. Gear inferred from era, band interviews, and live/studio rig rundowns. No direct source for 'Normal Chicks' session, but Axis and Dual Rectifier are confirmed as main riff gear for this era.

Difficulty
The riff requires fast, steady downstrokes and tight palm muting for a punchy pop-punk sound, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm patterns accessible to intermediate players.
