Chords for King's X - how to play "it's love" like a badass

_ _ Okay, so this video is how [G] to play It's Love by King's X like a badass.
And this was inspired by just watching various ways that people were playing It's Love, having
seen Ty play it a number of times, and then looking at the videos that are all over YouTube
of the band playing the song live, and listening really closely to the actual recorded version.
There's a few subtleties that make the difference between playing It's Love _ exactly right, or
playing just a decent rendition of it.
So the first really odd thing that I noticed, and I don't know if he does this every time,
but when I've seen Ty play it live, he seems to do this thing in the intro riff with a
fairly unique fingering that gives it a different sound.
So before I saw him play it live, I used to always play that opening riff like this.
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
And then I saw him play it live, and the first time I saw him play it, he did it this way.
_ [D] _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _ [D] _ [G] _ _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ [D] _ [Ab] That just lets the notes ring out in a different way.
So that's one little subtlety.
The other thing he does in the verse part, a lot of times I see people playing it or
hear people playing [A] it like, _ _ _ _ [E] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] and there's always that constant droning pedal [Gb] tone with the
two [G] eighth notes [A] going. _ _ _
_ [G] But if you watch them do it, there's one video from the Dennis Miller Show from like 1992,
I think it is.
He actually doesn't play that constant droning note.
He [A] plays it more like_
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ _
[G] So it's got much more of a syncopated feel to it.
So watch that closely.
[A] It's definitely not.
_ _ _ [G] _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And what's really crazy about it is that he's actually singing at the same time.
So it'd be very easy to just cheat and do _ _ [Gb] all [Ab] these singing, but [A] he's actually doing_ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [G] So that's just crazy.
And then I noticed sometimes in the chorus, if you listen real closely, he's not always
doing a full bar chord on some of those chords.
So _ _ to get the articulation in some of the riffs, he's really accenting the low D strings.
So for example, _ [C] _ [G] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
so he'll occasionally let the other strings hit, but he's really just
trying to make sure he nails that single note riff at the bottom and that gets it really
nice and tight and punchy.
And since Doug's playing his whatever, how many string bass, underneath it still sounds really [G] fat.
_ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] [Gb] Right [G] there too, right?
So it's [F] not_
_ [Gb] _ [G] _ [F] _ _ [G] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Fm] _ [G] _ [A] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ [A] _
_ [Ab] Right?
So hopefully those hints will help you
