[@Gazonkie]

that's a great song

[@chrisfinest1]

This sounds better than the album!

[@MrTradisrad]

I've been hearing the soft step of the grey governess...that front man and keyboard guy need to stay musically married

[@kevincardinale8969]

It's just an MXR Phase 90. He might have some reverb or delay going on too, since that's the basis to a lot of his sounds. He's got a T-Rex Replica and a Boss DD-7 on his board for delay, and a Boss RV-5 for reverb. But 90% of that intro riff is Phase 90.

There are people who put dirty hypodermic needles, between the seat cushions, in the movie theaters

[@Iplayfender1991]

sounds like a sweep echo. You get it out of a DL4, amoungst other pedals, but thats where I get mine from. I could be wrong, hope this helps!

[@ilmfl522]

dont know how i noticed this, but one the drummer's drumsticks is upside down

[@cooperiscool9]

anyone got any ideas what effects he's using for that intro guitar part?

[@cooperiscool9]

would he be using a phaser along with that?

[@cantdance1982]

Does anyone know precisely what hand percussion instrument the drummer is using at about 1:57?

[@MrNovember91]

The specific instrument? Not really
But it's just a shaker, google "shaker instrument" and you'll find tons of different variations
