[Frank B]

Well, I've been in situations (studio) where he's been around.. for whatever reason, to cut a track, hangout (be an anoying alcoholic) or say hello to a producer that he wants to use on a VH record....Whatever..hehe.. he's a weirdo..but it's "him"
Some reasons why he sounds differentt..
1.) yeah Amps may have something to do with it sure, but not as much as his ears do..
2.) he's going deaf.. his ears are different, so, you sound different to others but similar to yourself..
3.) Recording (digital) and Mastering.
4.) The more "involved he bacame with their records, the more he tried to "undo" what he already has done or does.. he's a strange guy
5.) He can easily re-create His tone, he still has those old amps..Plexi Marshalls and small fenders.. champ and deluxe reverb..black face..
6.) MXR distortion II.. that was his biggest tool. I got one from Ron Kayfield (waysted.. good friend of Ozzy's) supposed to be Eddies old one, that Ozzy stole as a prank and freak Eddie out, well, Ozzy thouoght it was funny watching Eddie scramble looking for his Box. as good as Eddie is, he gets Obsessive about his belongings..this thing has a Sound that's unmistakable when ran through a JCM 800 or a plexi.. it's like... "oh my god!" that's the sound....hehee..so, there's not many of these aroundat all, so, they're really hard to come by..
7.) BOSS Distortion (orange).. this is the Fair warning "unchained" tone, he fell in love with this little Orange box for a while.. he still has one in his setup I think.... cool box.. the older ones have different parts.. sounds different.. that harsh but fat sound..
8.) He's bored, been bored for years, listen to those later records they suck, let's face it, he's a great guitar player, but that's what he is a guitar player.. period.. if you ever meet Frank Ferrone (Nikki Sixx) ask him about Eddie.. he'll spit on you!.. hhe.. he may lick it off too.. so, watch out.. Oh and Nikki Sixx looks like a shark when you talk to him, he has the most Blank stare of anyone that I've ever been introduced to..looks like a frigging shark..
9.)Eddie has problems hearing what he's doing.. he plays so fast sometimes, he loseshimself. He's brilliant, but he is a task master.. so, he loses alot of stuff that he records.. he never saves anything. If he likes something he keeps it, he's paranoid about someone hearing something ****ty that was left on a reel, or in Pro-tools and making fun of him behind his back.... that's where the mean alcoholic comes out..it's not a fun sight to see..
