Is there a Slayer part in Kid Rock's American Badass?

Just heard American Badass by Kid Rock, and I was wondering if anyone can place the thrash part? Clearly most of the song is 'quite' heavily based on Sad But True by Metallica, and there are little bits of Superunkown by Soundgarden and quite possibly the bells from Hell's Bells by AC/DC.

But does anybody know the providence of the fast bit? It certainly sounds like mid-80s Slayer, but to my shame I don't know a lot of their pre-Reign In Blood stuff.

Uhm. I just spent like 40 minutes downloading this song. My god, this is some of the worst garbage I've heard in a while!
Anyways, riffwise, the whole song is basically several riffs from the same Metallica song.

As for the thrashy bit, I frankly can't hear who it is. Tonewise and stylewise it sounds like mid-period (circa Cowboys From Hell) Pantera to me.

So no help here, I*m just posting to pretend I didn't waste my bandwidth.
