ANNIHILATOR's Jeff Waters Posts Schizo Deluxe Guitar Solo Compilation
September 23, 2012, 12 years ago
ANNIHILATOR guitarist/founder Jeff Waters has posted a guitar solo compilation from the band's Schizo Deluxe album, released in 2005.
Waters: "This is my version of the 'Brown Sound.' The compilation is taken from my third favorite Annihilator CD (!!) and I swore I would NEVER touch the microphone and settings and taped off the room where the guitar amp/cab/microphone was... so no one would ever touch it... EVER! A few months after this CD was done, my son Alex decided to play hide & seek with me - he was 8 years old then... guess where he decided to hide?! In the room where my perfect guitar tone was! And, of course, he had to knock over the microphone and hide right in front of the speakers! Hahaha! I spent (seriously) close to two months trying to set it all up again but, as engineers know, you can never get it back 100%. It nearly drove me insane every day for months. I finally realized that I will never get that tone back exactly... sounds weird to the average person, but it is almost like an OCD for some of us! :) Here is almost seven minutes of that tone, but just wait until you hear the new Waters sound with these smokingly hot and wicked EVH 5150 III amps! I think that is the only thing to beat my Schizo Deluxe sound!"
Waters recently checked in with the following updates regarding Annihilator's tour plans:
"We are in talks to bring Annihilator back to South America as early as early 2013. Probably an extensive tour; I'll let you know when I know... and who we will tour with. We want to bring down a monster package of real metal!"Stay tuned for updates.
Annihilator toured South American earlier this year. Waters commented: "Headlined all shows (co-headlined one with ANTHRAX) and essentially had a blast! Check out the vids and enjoy!"
