< | < | ||
+ | After watching John play this song, I have been able to figure out exactly what he plays (at least during live performances). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tuning: Drop D (DADGBe) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Generally you want to play all 6 strings at once, letting the low D ring out. The main riff is as follows: | ||
+ | |||
+ | | ||
+ | e--2(2)--2-2-2-2-2(2)--2-2-2-2-3(3)-2(2)-0(0)-2(2)-0(0)-2(2)-3(3)--3-3-3-3-3(3)--3-3-3-3-0(0)--0-0-0-0-0(0)-- | ||
+ | B--3(3)--3-3-3-3-3(3)--3-3-3-3-3(3)-3(3)-3(3)-3(3)-3(3)-3(3)-3(3)--3-3-3-3-3(3)--3-3-3-3-2(2)--2-2-2-2-2(2)-- | ||
+ | G--2(2)--2-2-2-2-2(2)--2-2-2-2-2(2)-2(2)-2(2)-2(2)-2(2)-2(2)-0(0)--0-0-0-0-0(0)--0-0-0-0-2(2)--2-2-2-2-2(2)-- etc. | ||
+ | D--0(0)--0-0-0-0-0(0)--0-0-0-0-0(0)-0(0)-0(0)-0(0)-0(0)-0(0)-0(0)--0-0-0-0-0(0)--0-0-0-0-2(2)--2-2-2-2-2(2)-- | ||
+ | A--0(0)--0-0-0-0-0(0)--0-0-0-0-0(0)-0(0)-0(0)-0(0)-0(0)-0(0)-2(2)--2-2-2-2-2(2)--2-2-2-2-2(2)--0-0-0-0-0(0)-- | ||
+ | D--0(0)--0-0-0-0-0(0)--0-0-0-0-0(0)-0(0)-0(0)-0(0)-0(0)-0(0)-0(0)--0-0-0-0-0(0)--0-0-0-0-0(0)--0-0-0-0-0(0)-- | ||

+ | John starts with a quiet D G A progression, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Coming into the lyrics: | ||
+ | |||
+ | D | ||
+ | the best ever death metal band out of denton | ||
+ | | ||
+ | were a couple of guys, who'd been friends since grade school. | ||
+ | D | ||
+ | one was named cyrus, and the other was jeff. | ||
+ | | ||
+ | and they practiced twice a week in jeff's bedroom. | ||
+ | |||
+ | -MAIN RIFF x2- | ||
+ | |||
+ | D | ||
+ | the best ever death metal band out of denton | ||
+ | G A | ||
+ | never settled on a name. | ||
+ | D | ||
+ | but the top three contenders, some of which have now been used, | ||
+ | | ||
+ | were satan' | ||
+ | |||
+ | -REPEAT MAIN RIFF- | ||
+ | |||
+ | | ||
+ | jeff and cyrus believed in their hearts they were headed | ||
+ | G A | ||
+ | for stage lights and leer jets, and fortune and fame. | ||
+ | D | ||
+ | so in script that made prominent use of a pentagram, | ||
+ | | ||
+ | they stenciled their drumheads and guitars with their names. | ||
+ | G A | ||
+ | and this was how cyrus got sent to the school in Utah | ||
+ | | ||
+ | where they told him he'd never be famous. | ||
+ | G | ||
+ | and this was why jeff, | ||
+ | | ||
+ | in the letters he'd write to his friend, | ||
+ | G | ||
+ | helped develop a plan to get even. | ||
+ | D | ||
+ | when you punish a person for dreaming his dream, | ||
+ | G A | ||
+ | don't expect him to thank or forgive you. | ||
+ | D | ||
+ | the best ever death metal band out of denton | ||
+ | G A (mute all strings) | ||
+ | will in time both outpace and outlive you! | ||
+ | D | ||
+ | hail satan! | ||
+ | | ||
+ | hail satan, tonight! | ||
+ | D | ||
+ | hail satan! | ||
+ | | ||
+ | hail hail, hail, hail, hail, hail | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | From that last D, you can either go straight into the Main Riff, or use another normal D G A first (with a bit more intensity) and | ||
+ | then go into the Main Riff. John prefers the latter, but I like to go straight into the riff and then repeat it a second time. | ||

On the recording, I believe John plays this with the top E string tuned a major second lower (to D) to get that droney open sound. | On the recording, I believe John plays this with the top E string tuned a major second lower (to D) to get that droney open sound. | ||
