Paul Huge, who joined the band in 1994 following the departure of Gilby Clarke, originally recorded guitar parts for the album, which were replaced by Richard Fortus when Tobias left the band in 2002. In addition, guitarist Buckethead—who departed from the band in early 2004—recorded parts for the album. It is unclear whether his parts will be replaced and a replacement (if needed) for him in the band has not yet been named.
