Mal kurz ne Frage, bin gerade durch Zufall auf ein Interview mit John Christ (ex-Danzig, Samhain Gitarrist) gestoßen, der meinte "alte Laneys" auf Danzig Alben gespielt zu haben.
Hat irgendjemand genauere Infos um welche Laneys es sich handelt?
TV: Was that guitar used to record anything on "Danzig"?
JC: No, we had done a show with Slayer in L.A. at the Palladium, when a riot broke out because the promoters had oversold the show by a couple of hundred tickets. There were people outside breaking windows, with police and helicopters everywhere, and all this was going on while we were onstage. At any rate, on the flight out there, we didn’t have road cases for our guitars or anything, and the neck on my B.C. Rich got broken. They just threw it down the ramp and >bam<, snapped the neck. I got back to the hotel and just couldn’t believe it was broken, and the gig was tomorrow. But I had my Les Paul, and also borrowed a Mocking Bird off of Kerry King (Slayer guitarist). When I got back to New York, I only had the one guitar and we were supposed to start recording the first "Danzig" record. The les Paul just didn’t sound that good, so I went to Sam Ash Music on 48th Street. They lined up every guitar in the place, and I sat there for hours going through every guitar they had, playing some chords, parts of "Twist of Cain" and "Am I Demon" - just to see what sounded the fullest. I ended up choosing a Paul Reed Smith guitar because it had the overall fullest sound. We rented that guitar from the music store and that was the one that I did all the rhythm tracks with. As far as amps, in the studio, I think we used a "Bedrock" amp on a couple of songs – until we blew it up. We also used a couple of rented "Marshalls" with my old cabinet. When the time came to go in and do vocal overdubs and solos, I had the B.C. Rich back. I
used that with my old "Laney" amplifier and "Marshall" cabinet for the solos. That was pretty much it.

Eigentlich kenn ich ihn nur vor Amps mit dem M drauf, aber dieses (für mich bis jetzt unbekannte) Detail würde seinen göttlichen Sound erklären
PS: Das Album wurde 1987 aufgenommen, das Interview ist von 1999, jetzt ist halt die Frage was er mit "alten Laney" meint, schon 87 alt oder erst 99 ...
