Even without the make-up this is one evil incarnation of Gene. He plays it straight throughout the song, choosing most of the time to stay close to the guitars (just shifting octaves a little here and there). In the chorus he buckles down and plays staccato quarters, then finally adding that C-B move in the last chorus to lift things just a hair. I love the sound he gets out of his bass on this track, it's almost subterranean but still with good articulation. Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill ** = Artificial Harmonic x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) (\) = Dive w\bar (/) = Release w\bar Tp = Tap w\plectrum
