From Hollywood Vampires (2015). A big, riffy hard-rock song from the supergroup of Alice Cooper, Joe Perry and Johnny Depp. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Set the amp at a high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
Common Questions About the "Raise the Dead" Tone
What guitar did Hollywood Vampires use on "Raise the Dead"?
The guitar on "Raise the Dead" (released 2015) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Raise the Dead" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 5.5, Mid 6.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Raise the Dead" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Raise the Dead" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
