{{Quote|{{Interviewer|''Guitar World''|"The End of the Game" starts off with some tapping that sounds very Eddie-esque, though you'll probably disagree.}} | |||
{{Rivers|Actually, I was trying to emulate AC/DC's "Thunderstruck." It's not even tapping, I don't think. I was just like, "How can I do something like that?" So I pulled out the first technique that sounded somewhat like that. I think that's how it came out. I really like that harmonized tapping, and I also like the bar dive on the double artificial harmonic.}}|''Guitar World'' interview, 2021|<ref>''Guitar World'', July 2021</ref>}} | |||
