About this riff
The song opens with Matt Sorum's rapid-fire tom fill before locking into a relentless, punk-driven beat at 156 BPM that never really lets up for over five minutes. Playing it well means nailing that opening fill cleanly at speed and then maintaining tight, high-energy hi-hat work and consistent snare/kick interplay without losing steam throughout the track. It's a great workout for stamina and single-stroke speed on the kit.

He recalled that <cite index="1-3,1-4">he had a punk-rock rolling beat at the top, and by accident put that fill on, inspired by his admiration for Terry Bozzio but played far faster</cite>. Sorum has also noted that <cite index="1-2">the track represents his entry into Guns N' Roses</cite>, being his first recorded contribution to the band.
