Personnel

• Tim Skold – Vocals
• Harry Cody – Guitars
• Bobby Lycon – Bass
• Stixx Galore – Drums
• Pat Regan – "Silly percussion" on "I Wanna Know"

Notes: Stixx Galore is credited as drummer - although he was still a member of the band, the drums on Second Coming is a mix between programmed and triggered drums. To add some "realism" to the programmed drums, Galore played the cymbals in the studio recording sessions.
