Ghostie Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Thanks, Mike. You are in ways to Guns as George Martin was to the Beatles. AFD is a classic, but those well written tunes may have faltered if you were not there to make it such a cohesive product. Fuck, even when the band was beginning to flow away from each other, you managed to make the Illusions sound way more like a cohesive album than they had a right to. Cheers!

Nintari Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Fuck Clink. I'm still waiting for the Andy Udoff appreciation thread. Everyone knows his engineering assistance is the true genius behind AFD's sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't work out though... Would have loved to see each producer's(Clink, Roy Thomas Baker, Sean Beaven's) "versions" of the songs. Apparently Sean Beaven's was the most industrial.

Apparently Sean Beaven's was the most industrial.Clink was there for the Axl/Robin/Paul/Duff/Matt/Dizzy sessions in probably January 1997.By March or April, Moby was producing the sessions--And these were some of Matt's last sessions with the band before his exit from the band. It was during this time that Oh My God was written musically by Dizzy and Paul.Beaven didn't come in until the summer or early fall of 1998.Roy Thomas Baker apparently set them back A LOT as he was even more of a perfectionist than Axl. None of the band really liked him or so I've read. Edited January 2, 2011 by Indigo Child Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hung out with the band for a week or so and turned down an offer to produce:"I would have had to move to L.A. for 10 months to do it," he explains. Rose was interested in Moby after hearing Animal Rights. "Even though it means giving up a couple of million dollars, I had to say no."http://citypaper.net/earshot/earshot.1297/zoom.moby.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
