You should google this song sometime and how many tricks he used to get THAT sound.

It was more hardcore than Jimmy Page. Like he had four vibrato amps going at the same time, in different rooms, with one in a cardbox box, I think, and a few different delays, or something crazy like that.

It is insane what he did.

But, it is one of the the most classic openings of all time.
