From Thrills, Kills & Sunday Pills (2004). Thrills, Kills + Sunday Pills is the fourth studio album by Australian alternative rock band, Grinspoon. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul DC Special P-90 through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Grinspoon's other songs from Thrills, Kills & Sunday Pills, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
