From The Living End (1998). The Living End is the debut album of the Australian punk rock band the Living End, released on 12 October 1998 by Modular Recordings. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gretsch G6122T Country Gentleman through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for The Living End's other songs from The Living End, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
