Random thoughts on the Buckmeister's fretwork

[Hardman DK]

John Schwartz mentioned the other day that Monsters was a Bouchard song.
But it reminded me of something I've always believed, that Buck's solo on
Monsters is one of his finest, even though it's kinda subtly mixed beneath
the chanting of "Monsters". Anyone else go along with this?

Also, one of the *really* annoying things about this song for me is I've
never been  able to get the riff down on my own guitar. Obviously it's a
straightforward riff, but seems to require a very controlled picking
technique that I've just not managed to get to grips with. Godammit!

By the way, any of the guitarists on this list managed to figure out the
riff to Real World? If you have, care to post the tab for it? I've been
playing a hamfisted version of it, but it somehow just ain't right....
