From Broken Glass (1996). Broken Glass is the fourth studio album by American sludge metal band Crowbar, released on 29 October 1996 by Pavement Music. The album's personnel list credits Kirk Windstein and Matt Thomas with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s through a Peavey 5150, the rig we use for Crowbar's other songs from Broken Glass, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
