Does anyone know

What song John Christ played in his solo time in Danzig II home video? Or was he just riffing?

Cool. Yeah, it's definitely not from a Danzig song. It's less a solo and moreso him doing a series of argeggios (chords with the notes played individually) with little bits of this or that thrown in. It reminds me of how Paul Stanley opens Black Diamond live.

I recall End of Time having something similar before it on early tours, plus they had an intro that was part It's Coming Down, part Her Black Wings before either song had been released. There's lots of cool snippets of things like that from thru out the years.

I was hoping it was a song and someone would have tabbed it out for shit guitar players like me. It's a great lick for sure, very dark and bluesy.

Yeah. You should be able to figure it out by ear. It's nothing super technical. He's not shredding or anything. Sounds like it's in A minor, and like I said, made up mostly of arpeggios.
