Recording notes

From Cocked & Loaded (1989). Cocked & Loaded is the second studio album by American glam metal band L.A. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for L.A. Guns' other songs from Cocked & Loaded, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
