Ok this is a real good song. For the main riff and chorus he uses a thick distortion, and a slightly overdriven clean tone for the verses. Tis a mad song. Enjoy!

then at the end he plays the main riff but instead of doing the little downscale thing he plays the powerchords as follows


|----|          |-------|
|----|          |-------|
|----|    then  |-------|
|--0-|          |---777-|
|--0-|          |-0-555-|
|--0-|          |-0-----|

then ends with the main riff…………enjoy!
