From Here and Now (2011). Here and Now is the seventh studio album by Canadian rock band Nickelback, released on 21 November 2011, and is their last to be released on Roadrunner Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, the rig we use for Nickelback's other songs from Here and Now, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
