From Bloody Kisses (1993). Bloody Kisses is the third studio album by the American gothic metal band Type O Negative and the last recording with their original lineup, as drummer Sal Abruscato left the group in late 1993 to join labelmates Life of Agony. 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 Type O Negative's other songs from Bloody Kisses, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in a tuning that is not one of the standard names: B E A D F♯ B, low to high.

Can I play "We Hate Everyone" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "We Hate Everyone" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. 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.
