Notes
Studio recording, 1994 Blue Album session (applies to 2024 remaster as it is a remaster, not a re-recording). No evidence of pedals for distortion; all gain from amp. No evidence of additional effects used for riff section.

The riff is based on straightforward power chords and rhythm, but requires tight muting and consistent attack to match the recording's punchy, saturated sound.
