From The People or the Gun (2009). The People or the Gun is the eighth studio album by Anti-Flag, released on June 9, 2009, through SideOneDummy Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Melody Maker through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the nearest rig we use for Anti-Flag's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the single pickup.
