Notes
Studio recording, 2002 (album release year). No direct evidence for exact guitar/amp model for 'Waiting' riff, but Trapt's guitarist in this era was often seen with PRS and Les Paul guitars and high-gain amps typical for early 2000s alternative/nu-metal. No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for this song.
