- I think that bit is "Welcome back!", though heavily distorted or
- something like that (I think it's played forwards though).
-
- The guitars sound somewhat similar to the guitar in the intro to
- "Raining Blood." (ie high pitched "squeeling" with other noise in the
- foreground, such as screaming or rain). I don't think they're random
- though. (Slayer's solos tend to sound kinda random at times, though ;)
