From By the Grace of God (2002). By the Grace of God is the fifth 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 By the Grace of God, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
