Notes

Studio recording, 2006-2007 for 'Runnin' Wild' album. Joel O'Keeffe is known for using a Gibson Les Paul into a Marshall JCM800 for the band's signature riff tone. No evidence of pedal use for main riff in studio; tone is amp-driven. No evidence of effects loop or additional rack effects for riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is fast and requires tight, consistent downstrokes and palm muting, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm patterns typical of classic hard rock.
