Musicradar Jon Hudson interview
And Jon Hudson has spoken to Musicradar, the site for musicians, producers and DJs. Here are some choice cuts from the interview:
“I’ve been playing Les Paul Standards for years. But we would use anything we wanted to in the studio. So, I used a 335, a Telecaster, an SG, I had a Les Paul Custom in there on a couple of songs, and then Bill had some guitars also, so we used quite a bit.”
“I was pretty familiar with the band and Bill’s sense of direction in terms of songwriting and his approach with guitars. So, by the time he called me in early 1996, and said, ‘We’re in the middle of coming up with material for this next record – we were wondering if you’d give it another shot?’, that was the perfect opportunity for me.”
Pinkpop 2015 full show
Via fnm4ever, the full show from that Pinkpop 2015 show in the opening link:
Ziggodome or HMH. It’s all fine by me. FNM is awsome! Can’t wait for you to come back. X
I want them to come back to Holland as well! I missed them at Pinkpop (horrible festival with a lot of crappy bands) but I really want to see them doing a show on their own. Last time I saw them was at Lowlands festival in 2009. And that was the shortest set of the whole tour! Still pissed at the organization who decided to let The Prodigy headline instead of FnM. Anyway….hopefully they come back to Holland. I’m kinda surprised a show isn’t planned allready. Paradiso would be too small I guess….so I think HmH would be the venue…if they play.
Remus, that interview with Bram is one of my favorites. Patton’s choice of words in that interview is hilarious: “In a festival environment, outside, lots of people, urine, beer, mud… rock n roll kind of goes with that.”
Yeah the dutch had to fix something after the 1995 interview with Bram van Splunteren, that was incredibly embarrassing.
But please, of all the venues, no Ziggodome for god’s sake
Nice interview. Hope they come back and do a clubtour! Maybe Ziggodome in Amsterdam?
