From Asylum (2010). Asylum is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Disturbed. The song is a hidden track on the album and a cover of U2's song. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Schecter Hellraiser C-1 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Disturbed's other songs from Asylum, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).
