From Love It to Death (1971). Love It to Death is a studio album by the American rock band Alice Cooper, released on 9 March 1971 by Straight Records. The album's personnel list credits Glen Buxton on lead guitar and Michael Bruce on rhythm guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Alice Cooper's other songs from Love It to Death, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
