No. 1791999·post-grunge·4 blocks
Higher
The breakthrough Human Clay single — a mid-tempo Drop-D anthem built on a droning open low D under Mark Tremonti's chiming riff. Tremonti has confirmed Human Clay was tracked with Gibson Les Pauls, not PRS, and recalled the amp 'might have been the Hughes & Kettner Attax 100,' unsure whether Rectifiers were in yet; clean and modulated tones came from a TC Electronic rack. Produced by John Kurzweg in Tallahassee and mixed on an SSL 9000 — smoother and more atmospheric than the heavier My Own Prison.
