Not measured yet

TuneLit has not measured this record. The tuning comes from community sources, at concert pitch unless they say otherwise.

Rick Rubin produced it, and Phil Rudd was back on drums for the first time since 1983. The tabs keep the band's usual E Standard on every song, from Hard as a Rock to the slow blues of The Honey Roll. Not measured: none of its songs is on the compilation in TuneLit's library, so the Tune buttons use A 440.
