TRACII GUNS - "I Always Had This Thing For GLENN DANZIG"
September 7, 2015, 9 years ago
Guitarist Tracii Guns (L.A. Guns, Devil City Angels) was a guest on the September 3rd episode of the NI Rocks Show; to listen to the complete audio interview, visit this location. An excerpt has been transcribed below:
Tracii on Glenn Danzig: "I always had this thing for Glenn Danzig, I always thought that if he and I collaborated on a '50s, crooner, real dark kind of ballady record it would be incredible. The thing is that he’s busier than I am it seems for the last 10 years, so the reality of that as time goes on gets less and less. That’s just a vision I have and if I could make that reality it would be pretty incredible I think."
Tracii on his new band Devil City Angels: "In the beginning, Rikki (Rockett, Poison drummer) and I pretty much handled all the recording duties up at his place. He has a pretty nice studio on his property where he lives. We recorded all the physical music there and in the same place, Shane Fitzgibbon, who is the drummer for Gunzo actually, ended up taking over production of the vocals, engineering the vocals and all that kind of stuff. It was a very two part kind of thing. When vocals start happening I gotta run because it’s too stressful; for me anyway! I got the recordings sent to me about one in the morning when they were doing it and I didn’t have too many comments. I thought everything sounded pretty good and we got it off to Nashville to our friend Anthony Focx who mixed it. So it didn’t really matter how we recorded it because the guy is such a great mixer it’s going to sound good."
