From Three Dollar Bill, Y'all (1997). Three Dollar Bill, Y'all is the debut studio album by American nu metal band Limp Bizkit, released on 1 July 1997 by Flip. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RG7421 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Limp Bizkit's other songs from Three Dollar Bill, Y'all, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
