Still a tiny bit generic, but it's definitely got way more atmosphere than the rest of the guitar work. It's a shame that section of the game got so much criticism actually. Everyone was freaking out about "misogyny" when the whole point was that it was supposed to make Duke (you) even angrier at the aliens. This was all in Duke3D and nobody freaked out then. I suppose that "Looks like you're.....f*****." line didn't help at all to dissuade that. Even though Duke became angry immediately after that.
While I agree, I think it was because the tone of the game was so all over the place. In a very short time span things went from (very) silly to dark without people expecting it. I always thought it was one of the parts that felt the most like D3D.
Also, I never read the "You're fucked!" line like Duke was cracking a joke - it just dawned on him that there was nothing he could do. It
was a - dark - joke to the audience, but I think Duke isn't meant to be aware of the double meaning then.
