Tagtgren's PAIN. Great musicians, great producer

[Jevil]

Any fan of this band?
I do prefer what he does in PAIN than HIPOCRISY. I listened to PAIN for the first time a copule of years ago and now I am addicted to his music (I used to be a powermetal narrow minded supporter)
I think he is one of the best producers in metal nowadays.
Does anybody knows what the fuck did he use for the recording of "Dancing With The Dead" album?

I've got the Ltd. Ed. which includes a DVD which shows him in the studio but there's not much to see. 5150 is on the record along with a Mesa Recto if I remember right. He uses Pro Tools and he has some NS10s on his board. I like the third record a lot even though the name doesn't come to my mind now... &#37

I like the two first album but the last one (Dancing with the Dead) is way too obvious and easy in my opinion. Got bored of it after 2 listens...

 

[Metal Overload]

Have you ever heard his version of Eleanor Rigby? it´s awesome

 

[HeadCrusher]

Yeah, that one's on the third album
*walks into bedroom to finally look up the album title*
It's called "Nothing remains the same". Strings are great on this on, afaik they are real ones btw.
There were rumours that he was gonna record a whole album of Beatles Covers. Didn't hear anything about that for a long time now unfortunetally...

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Ha my bad, didn't know they had a first album called "Pain", so my statement was wrong, I quite like albums n#2 & 3 ("Shut your mooooooouuuuuuth" )

 

[GeertSamuel]

Pain is awesome! Love the music...

 

[HeadCrusher]

That's it, now that you said it it came to my mind again: Sansamp. That's the second amp on Dancing With The Dead. Afaik Peter used it live also occasionally. But I think it was used as a standalone not in front of the 5150.

I'm not a big fan of Hypocrisy or Pain, but his other project, Bloodbath, rocks my socks. The production on Nightmares Made Flesh represents the ultimate metal album tone to me. It's simply perfect - and combine that with top quality songs

 

[Kazrog]

Pain rules. As far as I know, he is the only musician on the CDs. Lately though he's had a couple of hot chicks in his touring band.

 

[HeadCrusher]

^true.
Only saw pictures of the girl band though... When I saw him live Horgh of (then) Immortal was playing the drums and some other Metal fellas were doing the remaining instruments. Peter was only singing. He's a nice guy by the way.

the album featuring "shut your mouth" song is amazing
peter is genius

i didnt know he used gt2, i own it and i liked it alot

[HeadCrusher]

Haeven't heard news from him in quite some time now though...

 

[MilkAndCheese]

I always thought peter used the sansamp pretty much exclusively on record.

And 500T pickups!

They will do some touring starting in February. I don't know where though, but the bassplayer is the one in Clawfinger. My band there is

 

[Black neon bob]

any clues what Peter uses for the nice synth sounds on his pain project?

Your band is Clawfinger and your bassplayer will play on the next PAIN tour or what?
If so, 1st were are the chicks from Peters live band then and 2nd go ask your bassist where the tour is going!

I see some Moogs and Nords in the "Shut Your Mouth" video, but good question! I'm obsessed with the "Nothing Remains The Same" album (the one with "Shut your Mouth.")

That could be of interest - just listening to it for the first time.

Yes, but I forgot to ask him. They're starting the 15th so...
