Tip for part One of the bridge, get a Heavy Metal Distortion Petal,
Set it to the following:
Bass: 0
Treble: 10
Countour/Middle: 8
That should sound just like the really fast part one of the bridge.
Thats it! I think its 100 % correct, the only thing that might be
different is that i have heard that the chorus goes like this
sometimes too...instead of 332200....it might be 320200, but
the way i said it easier and it sounds just as good...look below
Chorus Guitar 1: Distortion: "You, what do you own the world....."
