Members Jack Luminous Posted November 4, 2005 Members Share Posted November 4, 2005 He's my fave too !! I friggin' love his vibrato... Unmistakable. It's also one of the guys who are really really tight and precise when playing live, almost like a classical violin player... Total control of the instrument and very relaxed playing. He never overplays and is staying in his own comfort zone way within his technical abilities so it always sounds awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonattack Posted November 4, 2005 Members Share Posted November 4, 2005 Hes bad ass for sure. KD came around twice on the Puppetmaster(great album........BUY IT) tour in tampa, about a year and a half apart, squeezed myself right up front for both shows, got Pete Blakks pick. Met MF at a record signing back in the day, what a bunch of cool talented musicians. Im glad they have all stuck to their guns and the fans love it. There still is hope. Abigail is imprinted in my brain, some of those solos are so freakin cool, i love the ying yang of dissonance and melody!!! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ConfessorT Posted November 4, 2005 Members Share Posted November 4, 2005 I'm listening to Abigail 2 atm, still wondering which combo is better LaRocque/Blakk or LaRocque/Wead. Loved Mike Wead in Memento Mori and Hexenhaus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved Mike Wead in Memento Mori and Hexenhaus. Laroque/Blakk for me.I do like Shermann/Wead in MF, however. Denner is a great guitarist as well, but Wead is SMOKIN' on Dead Again, and "9". He fits in well with Shermann, as he's more "Denner" style. Michael actually hooked them up with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Extasyguy Posted November 4, 2005 Members Share Posted November 4, 2005 OK guys. This is gonna be completely weird but I need a favor. Ive always liked King Diamonds music but was never a huge fan. There is this one song that I used to have on a mix tape by him and its the best friggin King Diamond song I have ever heard. It was fast non stop double bass with the catchiest melodic verse ever. I dont know the name and Icant seem to find it anywhere. Ive tried downloading every King Diamond song but this one cant be found. Ive hummed the melody to all my friends that are into him with no luck. The only line that I clearly remember is from the chorus breakdown, he goes "...they seemed to be alive" and it has an awesome harmonized lead after that. I wish I could post a clip of the vocal melody but Im at work. Please people, I need this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonattack Posted November 4, 2005 Members Share Posted November 4, 2005 Its hard to listen to just one song off of abigail, i would eagerly await the following song, but mansion in the darkness is kick ass. I have the new live double cd, also kick booty, i wish some of it were taped in tampa, that would be cool to brag to my limited king diamond friends. Im an idiot, Mike Wead, i think it was the catchy name they both have, that made me not think twice about pete blakk. Plus im getting older!!!

I lived in Brandon for 12 years, and still have family there. I'm heading back in January. I remember when it was the Ritz - KICK ASS shows back in the 90's. I've seen Obituary, Machine Head, Napalm Death, Iced Earth, Death, Monstrosity, Overkill, King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, Sepultura, Deicide.....On, and on, and on!!!

Members dragonattack Posted November 4, 2005 Members Share Posted November 4, 2005 yup the masquerade, i too saw mercyful fate at the ritz, the same day i got my albums signed by them at aces records. The first show of the puppet master tour was at a club in ybor called twilite but its no longer, much smaller than the masquerade so it was that much easier to be up front!!! Im up in zephyrhills, bout a half hour north of brandon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ConfessorT Posted November 5, 2005 Members Share Posted November 5, 2005 I remember emailing him regarding the tone he got on the Disincarnate album. Apart from thanking me for appreciating his tone, it was basically emg equipped S series to tubescreamer to JCM800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's endorsed by Caparison now. I believe he uses Valvestates, and JCM800's. He also uses Kranks at his studio for recording other bands as well. Not sure if he's using them though...

Members petejt Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 Any idea of how to get some righteous Andy'esque tones from a Mark 4? I've actually been trying that out lately. A chorus pedal comes in handy. There's lots of mids in the tone, some mid frequencies peaked (high Q), some with a more wider bandwidth/lower Q. Lots of trebles too, and just enough bass to give it a, base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is my rough attempt at his tone, using my MarkIV. Needs more tweaking, but I do like what I got so far.
