I'm recording Anvil Live!!!

[maxpidge]

i'm recording the band, "ANVIL", tomorrow at the Crofoot in pontiac, michigan...

should be a fun, Metal evening, pics to follow...

[talbe1019]

I love Anvil!! Metal on Metal is a classic record (IMO). I actually recorded them in late 2007. Robb is a decent drummer, but Lips' guitar was horribly out of tune for a good part of the show. What are you doing the recording for?

[Remoteness]

What kind of recording system are you bringing in?

I wanted to go to the movie opening this weekend, but was under the weather. A former employer of mine played guitar in the band in the late 80's/early 90's, so I'm looking forward to some funny shots from back in the day.

I used to be their FOH engineer back in the glory days. (80's) Didn't know they were still around.
Lips used to have 3 pairs of 2x15" cabs with 2x12" stacked above them and he didn't blow out the P.A. or me...actually had a great controlled sound. I used to close mic the edge of the 15" with an EV1776 condenser (very dark sound) and a 57 on top. The two together produced a heavy fat sound and I would alternate and solo each mic at times with different riffs he was playing and it actually sounded like 2 guitars.
Robb is not a decent drummer--he is an exceptional drummer. His kit sounds nothing short of fabulous. You will get a great sound off them.
Have a great gig.

got any pictures to share?

[talbe1019]

How did the Anvil turn out? I just saw the movie last week and the movie was pretty good - and it reminded me of this thread. Did they have their 2nd guitar player with them?

[maxpidge]

Thanks...
Sounds like Robb Reiner! Did they have the 2nd guitar palyer with them or was it just Lips?

[mixedupsteve]

That sounds fantastic. Is the reverb added or real??
What mics did you use on the kit?

[Fuzzy Logic]

not too bad at all

I hear ya!! This is Anvil from 2007...and another drum solo. This is roughly mixed from a while ago. Still had it sitting on my computer. It's roughly the same drum solo...and not too bad either.

There's a phase/polarity problem with the file.
