From 666.667 Club (1996). 666.667 Club is an album by French rock band Noir Désir, released on 17 December 1996 by Barclay Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Noir Désir's other songs from 666.667 Club, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
