From Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls (2002). Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls is the debut studio album by American horror punk supergroup Murderdolls, released on 20 August 2002 by Roadrunner Records. The album's personnel list credits Joey Jordison and Tripp Eisen with guitar. 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 Murderdolls' other songs from Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
