The other guitar is playing these power chords in straight eights.

After the words "keep 'em coming" I hear a heavy muted guitar (I think)
playing:

Solo: 7 x main riff + stop

Outro: 7 x main riff + stop


Solo:
I have no idea how Francis (if it isn't Rick) produces that screaming
sound in the first note. I presume it's the result of an effect. The
Closest i can come to this sound is to slide from d to d (3rd fret to
the 15th fret on the b-string) and give the thing a tremendous vibrato
and slide back. I'm not very effect or tremelo minded so maybe someone
can tell what is happening here. Maybe I'm hearing more than there is.
