From You Will Never Be One of Us (2016). You Will Never Be One of Us is the third studio album by American hardcore punk band Nails, released on June 17, 2016. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Nails' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
