From PHASE 2 (2014). Phase 2 (stylised in all caps) is the third studio album by Japanese electronicore band Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Schecter Hellraiser C-1 through a Bogner Ecstasy 101B, the rig we use for Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas' other songs from Phase 2, 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).
