This an easy but ass-kicking song.  As always, follow the bass drum on
the verses and choruses.  For a "Diabolus" bass sound you should keep
your treble about 3/4 all the way up on the treble gauge and keep your
bass about 1/2 the gauge.  Tom plays with a pick, of course.  I would
recommend a heavy set of strings for this and other Slayer songs.  I use
Ernie Ball Hyrbrid Slinky bass strings and they work pretty well.  But,
it's your choice.  Another good set of strings is Medium gauge Dean
Markeley Will Lee custom bass strings.
