Its just too quiet to make out on my copy of the album.
 
The final section is a real bitch if you don't have some detuning
mechanism. It should be played one ocave down from the postion I've
written it in, which
basically means taking the bottom E strig down to a D. Unfortunatly
this has
to be done on the fly, as the open string is really essential for
some of the
earlier riffs. Otherwise you'll have to play it as written, which
will sound
a little thin.
 
Enjoy...
