A bunch of heavy metal riffs, lots of muted open E's here, and an evil-sounding flatted fifth in the chorus. The solo is kind of strange, it has kind of a stuttering feel to it. I'm not quite sure about the end of the solo. It's fast and buried in the mix so it doesn't help to slow things down. I believe I'm close though. Anyway, the solo has to be Vinnie.
