From Siamo solo noi (1981). Siamo solo noi is the fourth studio album by Italian rock singer-songwriter Vasco Rossi, released on 3 April 1981 by Targa. The album's personnel list credits Maurizio Solieri with rhythm and lead guitars on every track. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Vasco Rossi's other songs from Siamo solo noi, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
