Studio recording, 2012. For 'You're a Lie' riff, Slash used his Gibson Appetite Les Paul due to issues with his Derrig Les Paul. Both Marshall AFD100 and JCM 800 #39 heads were run simultaneously and blended. No pedals or effects were used for the riff section; guitar straight into amp. Tuning is Eb standard.
