Ok this songs pretty cool. It's only a demo, but it's a great one.
It's tuned half step down. I'm guessing that the bass Mike Starr had included
EMG pickups, but I'm not exactly sure (I'm only going by in the footage I've
seen of the Music Bank DVD.)
Beginning riff, while the guitars doing it's thing:

Then, when after the fourth time, he just hits open E to a little
beat and this is played a couple times, then into the next part:
