After the fast riff instead of going into the chorus they go into a little breakdown?
i think its a breakdown..
on the power chord of 6's play it many times till steff stops and gets
silent with the claps and bass line. (also PM some of those power chords of 6's)

After the break down its just sergio playing bass to the tempo of abes 
little clap noise thingys. but after awhile steff plays the main riff about 
4 times i believe then chino screams. After chino screams it goes back
to the chorus ("Thhiiiiiiissss tiiiimmmeeeeee") and after that he plays that one 
breakdown 2 times and after that he plays the main riff again till the end.
