Members telephant Posted August 10, 2006 Members Share Posted August 10, 2006 Im sure it was a Marshall of some sort. Maybe a modded JMP or JCM 800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tommythelurker Posted August 10, 2006 Members Share Posted August 10, 2006 Ya, as I recall, sounds like a straight up cranked JMP or JCM 800 to me, maybe boosted for the solo. I don't see why it would need to be modded. On second thought, maybe it was modded. I've always thought his tone was ballsier than anything I've ever heard. I suppose it could just be the combination of amp, guitar, pickups and strings though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tommythelurker Posted August 10, 2006 Members Share Posted August 10, 2006 Originally posted by PlayboyChris No shame in that. Never was a big Crue fan but love that song. Probably one of my 2 or 3 favorite Crue songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranalli Posted August 10, 2006 Members Share Posted August 10, 2006 That whole album kicks ass and Mick doesn't get enough credit for it IMO. Whatever he used Dr. Feelgood is crushing. But keep in mind that alot of what you hear in that song is bass/drums too....that's part of the heaviness. The guitar by itself wouldn't be extremely heavy.

The self-titled album with Corabi is another example. Talk about an underrated heavy guitar tone, and the drumming is positively SAVAGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I personally think Bob's work on Feelgood was astounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members faded Posted August 10, 2006 Members Share Posted August 10, 2006 I remember reading that mick said he used as many guitars and amps as possible (dunno if that was the same CD or what) But he said that they would do a bunch of tracks, then do them over again with a really {censored}ty guitar and a really {censored}ty amp, and mix them in with everything.

Members joolzriff Posted August 10, 2006 Members Share Posted August 10, 2006 he may of used a soldano on that album amongs the marshalls.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ultron Posted August 10, 2006 Members Share Posted August 10, 2006 I'm pretty sure it was a Soldano...I know he toured with them, due to their durability....but he is a Marshall guy. He's actually just a farmboy from Indiana....seems genuine in the interview, FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TU BE Posted August 10, 2006 Members Share Posted August 10, 2006 I'm about 90% sure that he used a Soldano for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My band is hitting the studio in October and that is the exact type of drum sound I want on there. I have always been a Crue fan and I agree Mick Mars never gets any credit but he's great.

Members pala Posted August 10, 2006 Members Share Posted August 10, 2006 Soldano SLO100, and probably some modded Marshalls. Pala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Romanian Reaper Posted August 11, 2006 Members Share Posted August 11, 2006 Interesting vid of Mick from 1984. Seems like a great guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSuSn7eTqMs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheAtomicJeff Posted August 11, 2006 Members Share Posted August 11, 2006 I've read that Mick has used VHTs on occasion. I agree completely with the Corabi album. Totally underrated and the Crue's heaviest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members joeinkc2 Posted August 11, 2006 Members Share Posted August 11, 2006 actually the rig mick was using on that album was a 200unit syringe, a pink scarf to tie off, and a half gram of a speedball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cougar Hunter Posted August 11, 2006 Members Share Posted August 11, 2006 a fact about late 80's crushing hair metal motley crue, slaughter, etc. try: 50 tracks panned left and right with about 20 different amps. Also, try clean, dirty, medium, searing, ultra-dirty, and everyhting in between while you're at it. production and equipment peaked quality-wise and price-wise in about 1990.

I totally agree. the Motley Corabi album was their best and I grew up on Motley ....loved Motley ....but I knew a good thing when I heard it - when they went for the $$, I lost a lot of respect for them. Still love 'em and will probably go see them again but ...just sayin.. oh, I'm pretty sure Mick strarted recording w/ Soldano's around the time of the Decade of Decandance CD - pretty sure Dr Feelgood was still Marshalls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
