A note if you are interested: The guitar riff at 10:15 is played by Adam by playing a bar power chord and striking the top two strings, then rolling your finger so that you pull off each string as you pass by it. So if you played it slowly, it would sound as if the first string is being bent slightly as you pull off, then you strike the next two strings (which may hit the high D, this can't be heard when distortion is applied) for that rolling triplet effect. It's a pain playing that bit with actual triplets! :) It is used in The Pot at 4:25 and could potentially be used in Vicarious during the lead-in the chorus (which has a palm muted triplet). I haven't been able to find this pattern on their older albums. Take care!
Odd bump, but realized the other day while listening that this is also used in Hooker With A Penis during the verses. It's also used at the, "All you know about me..." bit. I knew I had heard it used at least once somewhere earlier than 10,000 Days, but couldn't sit down and find it when I responded to this thread.
