Sugar
The spastic, stop-start standout from System of a Down's 1998 self-titled debut — Daron Malakian's manic Drop C riffing whiplashing between thrash bursts and clipped staccato chugs. He cut it on a custom Ibanez Iceman through a cranked Marshall JCM800, with every bit of the grind coming from the amp, not a pedal. Rick Rubin produced.
