From Brother (1993). Brother is the debut album by the American rock band Cry of Love, released in 1993. "Peace Pipe" peaked at No. 1 on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks chart; two other singles made the chart's top twenty. "Bad Thing" peaked at No. 60 on the UK Singles Chart. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Cry of Love's other songs from Brother, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
