How does Green Day get their sound for the intro to Holiday? Ever since I've heard the song, I've wondered because I think it sounds really awesome. Anyone know?

I don't have the song on me right now, but judging from memory, I'm gonna say they use heavy gain, a bit of reverb, and some chorus.

Les Paul Junior, Modified Marshall, and a strong strumming arm. Thats Billie Joe in a nutshell.

Is that the strummy rocky guitar on it's own? I think it's down to the chords he plays on it. (And distortion obviously)

hmm... I swear I heard the song today on the radio... I just can't remember the intro!!! at first I was thinking boulevard of broken dreams, which uses tremolo... I also heard "wake me when september ends" today... sheesh... it's just been a green day for me hasn't it? ;)
