Notes

Studio recording, 2002 (from 'Use Once and Destroy'). No direct evidence of pedals or alternate amps for the riff section; Phil Anselmo is known for using the ESP Viper with EMG pickups and Peavey 5150 for heavy rhythm tones in Superjoint. No evidence of live-specific gear for this song's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast palm muting and precise alternate picking to maintain clarity under heavy distortion, with aggressive rhythm and syncopation typical of modern metal.
