From Pride & Glory (1994). Pride & Glory is the only studio album by American rock band Pride & Glory. Wylde said that in the studio he used essentially the gear he had played in Ozzy Osbourne's band since No More Tears: "pretty much just two Les Pauls, 'The Grail' and 'The Rebel'", early-1980s Marshall amps, a Dunlop wah and, he thinks, a Boss SD-1 for extra distortion. The article does not say which song used which. Neither source names an exact guitar or amp model for this song, so so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a classic hard-rock pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
