FWIW. The original demo Tone and I played to Oz was titled 6 minute Epic as it was a new song idea to us and it needed a quick name rather than my usual date based naming system for riff ideas and...

To answer this and your earlier question - the howling is just an Arturia Minimoog with lots of FX and pitch bend just to create an eerie effect without being obvious keys. I use the same on...

I did actually play mellotron choirs on a couple of the songs and some other tron string stuff as textures. It's all subtle but supports the cause!! :)

Hi, and sorry for the delay in answering!!! Xmas, New Year and a whole load of family got in the way :). I am into the first month or so on a new Judas Priest record so I not had much time to get on...

The sound is definitely not like the last couple of records because the music is so different, so without going too deep I think you will hear a classic sabbath sound brought up to date with the...

I won't be mixing the record for a couple of reasons. I always assumed Rick would want his own people on the project - which, to some degree, he did. I became part of a small team of guys working...

Hi chaps

Sorry for the lack of posting, but we have had a busy time in beautiful California realising this new record. I will answer a few of the questions one by one below and any new ones that...

Hi Guys

Sorry for not being around. Nothing sinister or secretive. Just getting prepped to return to the project - we had a small break and I've spent my time doing lots of family stuff. Things...

That's not how I remember it going down at all. He was given freedom to play things how he wanted. The original drums on "Follow the Tears" we're programmed double time with a groove - listen to...

I have to say with regard to the whole "Drum Machine" discussion that have appeared over the last 6 months - we don't use them!!

I program parts sympathetic to the riffs coming out of Tony's...

Soory I've been a bit absent. It's been hectic for me getting going on this new period of the guys being together. Things always take a little while to settle into a routine and this has been no...

Thanks Dan

We are on our way later this week. More writing may be the starting point. I think because it's been a few months since we all got together last to write we will need a little revision...

Wall - (and I wish I knew what your name was so I could use it :) ) I'm not offended at all, but I would not comment on anything where the band haven't, and with much of the contention in this...

Sorry Wall, but I've already said I'm not entering into any more Bill stuff. I have a responsibility to keep clean lines on these posts. I hope you understand :)




Well if it is appropriate...

My absolute pleasure :)

I think i've mentioned that the band are sounding very much like a 2012 version of themselves. They are not forcing any particular sound or style on the writing. It won't sound like...

Slightly strong my friend, but I agree that trying to separate Bill in that list was a slightly low blow. I've been impressed with the honest discussion over here and I think Joe Siegler will shut...

To Danzig
Paulie is right. They had a big list and decided what they might want to attempt and whittled it down to what they enjoyed. I can only voice what I think sounds great, but ultimately it...

Isn't this what I've been alluding to?

I'll say this Paulie - the smell of isopropyl when I cleaned the heads, the satisfaction of lining up the machine before the band came in, the smell of the 2" tape rewinding back to the leader tape...

Hi mate

The process has been very varied. Songs are put together with programmed drums purely as a way of hearing an arrangement. Nobody can keep track of hours of jamming. You spend longer...

I'm editing this as my answers showed up weird to Iron's 2 questions - here they are below

1.
I don't have favourite albums, but my favourite songs (currently) are Black Sabbath, Children Of The...

Indeed, yes I have heard an awful lot of those things. Some are just an acoustic guitar, some an electric guitar with a drum pattern and some are full band rehearsal/writing sessions from over the...
