Also, check out the Star One cd "Victim of a Modern Age" which is the album he explains the guitarsound for. Which i think is a pretty awesome sound! Also the mix is pretty awesome

+1000!

Saw this video posted around here allread a couple of times, it got me into that album! Really killer all around!

What I still don't get tho:
does he record 6 rhythm tracks or does he run double tracked rhythms through those 3 amps?

I think he meant he just doubletracks, but each guitar is tripled via the three microphones. Honestly I can't see how would he benefit from sexta-tracking (huh? ). And as far as I remember, he said he uses just Sansamp+Marshall and Bogner (but I might be wrong).

I guess being 6'7" and obviously not liking to work out does make you look that way
By the way, the guy is 51... So not only does he look good for his age, but his tastes are 80's-esque (hence the haircut).

I guess he doesnt care about phase lol.

 

[Skinny Viking]

If my productions sounded as good as his I wouldn't care about phase either

His hands remind me of this:

I asked this question and he answered "3x2 times. That's the downside..."
