From Welcome to the Neighbourhood (1995). Welcome to the Neighbourhood is the seventh studio album by American rock singer Meat Loaf, released on October 30, 1995 as the follow-up to his successful comeback album Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Meat Loaf's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
