Andy, do you recall on which tracks from Arch Enemy's Doomsday Machine that Apollo Papathanasio sang back-up on?

Thanks for your time.

Apollo appears on several tracks on doomsday as a background.
He´s a good friend of mine and a really good singer.

Cheers

blimey rickards alive...

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

WTF?? hell of a first post!

 

[TitoC]

Thanks for the reply Rickard!! I love your work on Doomsday and if you are the same person, your vocals on the Last Tribe stuff. I like Apollo as well and noticed that he thanks you as his vocal coach on the new Firewind CD. He has improved (become much more distinctive) from his Time Requiem days - nice job!

Will you be singing on any upcoming discs/Last Tribe stuff...seems Magnus is always busy with multiple projects...too bad too because Uncrowned was awesome!!

Thanks again for the reply.

Rickard, I don't know if this has been completely cleared up, but can I ask what amps were used on Doomsday, and also what amp was used for the clean (or not so clean) sounds?

 

[Keiffer]

Rickard, excellent... thanks for taking some time to post... and please take more time to post...

 

[Andy Sneap]

we reamped through boogie and krank

 

[cobhc]

Thanks for clearing that up Andy.

what cab?
marshall or boogie?

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Boogie of course

 

[kaomao]

so should I sell my marshall?
argh I'm hungry about tone! I need cash!!!
is there someone here that can help me to do a bank robbery?

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Keep the Marshall & buy a Boogie

 

[LSD-Studio]

buy an engl std for like 600, buy an harley benton or fgame for 400, put the v30 into the engl and vice versa.
sell the benton for 300 or so.

now you've got a cab that's at least as good as the boogie for 700.
(engl builds the best cabs by far IMO)

soon.
Thanks Rickard

Yes, we did reamping for the rythmguitars at Andys place.(smooth)
cleanguitars and solos was recorded destructively with Engl. fireball and Peavey JSX with a nice touch of a Roland chorus echo and urei LA3.

cheers Rickard

IIRC, Andy said it was Boogie through Boogie and Krank through stock Krank.
