I saw these guys play the Big Day Out for the first time and I was watching Matt the time and im pretty sure this is how he plays this. I don’t particularly like this version the A and Em chords don’t sound as chunky as the power chord version. Enjoy The Rock and Roll Machine Creature Of The Night The Rock and Roll Machine Matt Stroobant plays with a blues distortion, fuzz and also fuzz-wah so it helps with sound if you have a version of these but a single fuzz pedal combined with amp gain will fine.
