From Give Me Your Soul...Please (2007). Give Me Your Soul...Please is the twelfth studio album by Danish heavy metal band King Diamond, released on 26 June 2007. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Flying V through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for King Diamond's other songs from Give Me Your Soul...Please, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
