I spent a long time working on this song because so many bad covers and tabs exist. In fact, when I was done, I realised that none of the tabs or covers I could find were correct. Here's my explanation:
The main guitar you see is duplicated on both sides so I only recorded one on video.
All three guitars are tuned to, from low to high, B A D G B e. That's right: standard tuning except for the low E tuned down to B. I've seen covers and tabs range from E Standard to Drop D to Drop C to Drop B and while some of them hit the right notes, it was never representative of what was played on the CD or live. Notably, there are no power chords in this song; it is just octaves.
Apart from the lead parts, power chords are played throughout. However, because of the tuning, these power chords actually become octaves. In addition, I used an octave pedal with the settings Dry: 100%, Down Octave: 45%, Up Octave: 30%.
To get the right tone on the chorus, you have the hit the descending power chords with upstrokes rather than downstrokes.
The lead parts are double stops on the 3rd and 2nd strings with the open 1st string.
Ask me if you have any other questions.

Fucking brilliant how you figured out the tuning. Great ears!!! I thought I could hear the octaves myself, but didn't really figure it out.

Thanks a lot for all the details! I want to do my own version of it but, like you wrote, nobody had the proper tone or tuning so your explanations will help me. I think that you are missing a few strokes during the chorus though. It doesn't sound like single up strokes to me. What amp/distortion pedal did you use? I'm guessing the octave pedal has a lot to do with the tone. It sounds so digital and thick, I wonder what they used on the recording.

You know the song is in alternate Drop B because if you watch John 5 play the song live during his Ibanez endorsement he used a 7 string to play it. I don’t know if he removed the E string or just muted it during the bar chords but I know for a fact John used an Ibanez 7 string. Either an AX7521 or AX7221.

Zim Zum played it in BADGBe live but just played single notes with an octave pedal (you can see him around 2:20 in the Big Day Out 1999 performance playing single notes). John5 did the same (you can see it on the Guns, God and Government LA 2001 performance). I can't find any GAoG-era footage but I wouldn't be surprised if he was using single notes with an octave pedal on a 7-string since he used a 7 string on a couple of tracks from that album.

In that video there at the 3 minute 18 second mark, if you have the video speed slowed to .25 and around 3 minute 16 second point start pressing pause, play, pause, play, pause until the lights kick on really bright at 3:18 you will be able to count his tuners. He is playing his Ibanez AX 7521. 4 tuners across the top and 3 across the bottom. Either way, you are still right about the tuning. And it was a tough tuning to figure out because until a few years ago nobody actually confirmed it until a rig rundown where the tech said “this guitar is set up in BADGBe for Antichrist.”

Kind of. Daisy recorded the main guitar part 27 times to give it a thick texture but it's all the same parts. I didn't think it was particularly useful to collage myself playing the same part 27 times.
