Origin Seven-String Collapse — Drop-A Riff & Fuzz Factory Solo
Bellamy has repeatedly associated the track with his first seven-string Manson, although evidence also suggests a modified six-string may have contributed to the recording. The studio tuning is documented as AADGBe, and the solo uses Fuzz Factory saturation; numerical settings are approximated from the documented equipment.

Notes
Use a very heavy low A but trim amplifier bass so the riff stays percussive. Allow the solo fuzz to become unstable without masking the pitch bends.
