From Zhal', Net Ruzh'ya (2002). Zhal', Net Ruzh'ya (Too Bad There's No Gun) is the sixth studio album by the Russian punk rock band Korol i Shut, released on 10 October 2002. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Korol i Shut's other songs from Zhal', Net Ruzh'ya, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
