Recording notes

From Rock & Roll Is Dead (2005). Rock & Roll Is Dead is the sixth studio album released by the Swedish rock band The Hellacopters. 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 The Hellacopters' other songs from Rock & Roll Is Dead, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
