"So we came up with some cool harmony guitar lines, that was done at one in the morning that late night, with my PRS McCarty in silver through my Orange Tiny Terror and Marshall cabinet. "

"We also plugged in his new Line 6 bass amp that sounded very cool with that vintage Precision. I used my Gibson Elvis Dove and a Martin D-18 from 1970 for the acoustic parts, and all the other performances on the track were left intact."

"I used a Gibson 1995 Cherry SG, and a 1980's BC Rich Koa Mockingbird and then my Gibson LP Jr from Kiss Revenge Tour was used as well as the Explorer that I did the clean Domino guitar parts on Revenge."

"My trusty red ESP vintage plus from 96 was the weapon of choice and as I have always told players, the tone is in the guitarists hands."

"I pulled out the Gibson ES 330 from 61 in cherry red that is so Beatles like in tone. And a RI 56 LP Goldtop that is just killer in cause of its soap bar pick ups, came into play as well."

"Next was a 12-string sound, and Jeremy owns a sweet double neck Gibson like Jimmy Page's. I made him tune it, as I hate the 12 strings. Six is hard enough! We put a slight Leslie pedal effect on it, with a Korg G4. Really nice tone. Same amp as track one."

"But first I used my '53 Les Paul Standard through our friend Randy's AC 3O VOX amp. RIght combination. Used the line boost again too! Did the harmony guitar with my other 58 RI Les Paul Standard."

"Went back to the rhythm part and had a double with the PRS Silver McCarty axe through the big Marshall from the REVENGE days. Great sound now that we had the two big rhythms recorded."

"I used a Mexican Red Fender Strat with a maple neck that has a boost built in, called a Powerhouse Stratocaster, I found this guitar in Colorado on tour with Grand Funk. Played it through a Fender Vibro-king amp that was at George's Shut Up And Play studio. No pedals, just the bass pickup of the red stratocaster and a lot of finger plucking! We were very happy with the results and the song is finally hitting the high mark that I am striving for."

" I used an Epiphone Riviera from 1967, and played it through a MXR phase 100, with the Orange Tiny Terror amp, giving me a classic British tone. I tried some riffs on the demo for this song, so that was our starting point. The solo will be one of the best on the CD for sure. I love that Epiphone. I used it on the Butchering The Beatles song "Drive My Car" with Kip Winger singing a few years back. It screams in a great way."

"First up was my 12 String Martin D20 from 1970, which is VERY easy to play. Tuning, of course, is always hard on 12 string instruments, but we got a great sound from this Martin."

"Jeremy played the part on the demo, so I handed him the guitar and I was glad to have my 1968 Gibson Southern Jumbo do the honors. He had some cool inversions that I preferred he played. After a few takes we had our acoustic done for that song."

"I used first my Martin D18 which sounded cool, and then for a double, since I just picked up a Jazz box (a 1958 Gibson ES 175), Jeremy and I thought we can just mike it and see how that sounded. We didn't need to plug this Sunburst beauty in, it sounded STELLAR just like that"

"I found a nice Fender Made in Japan Stratocaster that is two tone and vintage looking, but with a Rosewood neck. Should be maple, but I love the neck on this guitar. VERY Straty tone, and we had our second part with some little lead guitars thrown in throughout the tune. It was a hot day in LA so we ended a bit early, as it was a good time to run a rough off of a few songs so I can enjoy them during my travels."

"We went through the VOX AC 30 for that guitar. Some more rhythm parts were done with the ES 345 as well before the day was over."

"I went for a melodic nasty tone, which will remind you all of Revenge era KISS. Used my Gold Peavey Wolfgang and my Red ESP Vintage Plus."

Bruce used it to record Domino, Every tiem I look at you in the album "Revenge" when he was in Kiss

"To complete the fun that day, I just got an original 1979 Paul Stanley IBANEZ guitar in great shape. I had to show it off to everyone, and I know I will record with this guitar."
