If you make it sound too much like a synth, it will just sound like a guitar part played on a synth.
It all begins with the initial tone coming from the cabinet, but EQ at the board is very important.
I'm happy with the way everyone presents themselves onstage.
It was a good chance for us to play for people who would never have heard us otherwise.
I'd played in about four or five bands before we started up, only a couple of which did club dates.
We were like psychedelic folk combined with Sonic Youth's noise.
We're playing the same songs, the same way, that we have for years.
I have about nine guitars in all, so obviously I'm into collecting.
Micing it from two different angles in front of the speaker sounds huge, and it's so simple.
I'm open to getting more equipment, but I really won't have time to look into that until after the tour.
Trent likes to record guitars direct, whereas I've always preferred playing through an amplifier.
Experimenting with different sounds is great, but when it comes down to it, you're still playing a guitar.
Each member of the band has varied influences, and the same diversity is reflected in our fanbase.
We're approaching things quite differently this time, but it will still sound like Marilyn Manson.
We'll only be playing four new songs live, but all the material for the next album is basically finished.
