The bass line during the verses is kinda neat.  It's a bit different from
what's being played on the guitar.  During the choruses the bass is just
straight C# D# F# B like the guitar.

Keyboard:
The notes for the spiffy solo after the second chorus are: 

F# E D B, B B C# C# C#, G# G#

F# E D B, B B C# B G# G# C# G# C#   (2nd G# in this line is 1 octave
higher than those played before it)
F# E D B, B B C# C# C#, G# G#    (Same as first line)

F# E D B, B B C#, G#

The commas indicate the places where there are short pauses.  It's hard to
write musical notation here.  These are the correct notes, just listen to
the pattern they're played on the record; also note that the G# is played
at two different octaves.Playing the solo on guitar is a fun substitute:

|14-12-10----------------------------|--14-12-10--------------------16----16---|
|---------12--12-12-14-14-14---------|-----------12--12-12-14-12-------14----14|
|-------------------------------13-13|---------------------------13------------|
|------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|

|--14-12-10----------------------------|--14-12-10--------------16~~~~~~|
|-----------12--12-12-14-14-14---------|-----------12--12-12-14---------|
|---------------------------------13-13|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------|
(obviously not written in perfect time)

I think the notes being played on the keyboard during the third chorus are
a series of 5ths going C# G#, C# G#, D# A#, B F#.

	now this is the song I mostly relate to. "What's at the end of Satan's rainbow?" is basically the philosophy of all video games; you just want to know what's at the end...and you keep playing and playing until it sucks you right in.

	This song is about being addicted to playing video games, so much that you lose in touch with the reality. I think "What's at the end of satan's rainbow" is a metaphor for insanity/going insane.

	I don't think it's that simple. In fact I think it's more of a statement on how sitting around playing video games is wasting your life. Haha. Can't say I agree with them, as I spend a lot of my time gaming anyway. But it's a great song.
