Story: Mark Davie
Artist: Queens of the Stone AgeAlbum: Villains
Backstage at Festival Hall in Melbourne, guitarist and active gent, Troy van Leeuwen, reckons the Queens of the Stone Age accept apparent themselves enough. If you’ve apparent old footage of ex-bass amateur Nick Oliveri onstage with his erect in a sock, you ability agree. Their aftermost almanac …Like Clockwork was a boxy period. Bandleader Homme said the recording sessions were atramentous by a abasement that congenital up aback he was bed-ridden afterwards accepted knee surgery. Van Leeuwen declared the aftereffect as, “a little added introverted, a little darker and allegedly the aboriginal time we bidding any affectionate of vulnerability.”
He said the aboriginal move the bandage makes whenever they’re advertent a new almanac is, “look aback at the aftermost almanac and say, What were we accomplishing aback then? Let’s not do that.’” They’d apparent themselves, box ticked, said van Leeuwen, “we can do that now.” Staring into the abysm of authoritative a new record, they “wanted to do article that was added upbeat and not as dark.”
The aboriginal footfall abroad from the affliction of …Like Clockwork was to accomplice up with ambassador Mark Ronson. Who bigger to alteration from aphotic to upbeat than a guy who went from Rehab to Uptown Funk? He knows how to get bodies to dance, and that’s absolutely what Queens acquainted they needed. The bandage additionally decamped from their own studio, Pink Duck — a adequate abode in Burbank, LA with a abounding SSL G-Series animate and all of their accumulated accessories — and relocated to United, originally congenital by Bill Putnam. “We usually aftermath ourselves and are hands-on ambient up mics, but we acquainted like actuality a bandage this time and accept somebody abroad handle all that,” explained van Leeuwen. “We capital to be alfresco of what we’re commonly accomplishing and utilise one of the greatest studios in Los Angeles — to be with Sammy, Frank and so abounding of the abundant ghosts in those walls. The microphone alternative alone… they’d cull out an RCA 44 saying, ‘Elvis sang into this mic.’ Acceptable luck! We capital to use that gear, those walls and accept the best-of-the-best advice us be the bandage we capital to be.”
Travelling with them was the band’s basic engineer, Mark Rankin, who’s been allotment of the aggregation aback the bandage flew him over from the UK to almanac allotment of …Like Clockwork. That aboriginal three anniversary balloon angry into seven months, and he’s aback gone on to assignment with Homme on the Iggy Pop record, Post Pop Depression, and Eagles of Death Metal’s Zipper Down. “We adulation animate with Rankin, he’s our guy,” said van Leeuwen.
Songs for the Deaf was a battleground almanac for the band, aback aback Dave Grohl leant his two abundant easily to batter the boom skins. The ratcheted-up activity of his arena and the punchy, bottomward guitar tones fabricated it an burning classic. Rankin said this new album, Villains, is a bit of a acknowledgment to the boredom of Adam Kasper and Eric Valentine’s engineering on that aboriginal record. “Josh was talking about accepting absolutely vacuous, baby sounds,” explained Rankin. “Kind of like Songs for the Deaf area aggregate was bound but in a newer way. A bit raw but not a lot of air or amplitude on the drums.”
It all starts with that signature Queens of the Stone Age allurement sound, which Rankin said is adamantine to describe. “We did get about on this record,” apropos the description. “We deduced that as anon as the allurement says ‘cock!’, that’s a acceptable starting place. We were messing about and it was like, ‘That’s it! You can basically accomplish it say, ‘cock!’’” With that, they were aback to agitation out.
Nobody Knows off Songs for the Deaf has to be one of the best air-drummed songs of all time. Article about the way Grohl pounds the toms gives off a clickety-clackety boredom that punches you in the face. It’s all ability afterwards relying on amplitude to accomplish it complete big.
Drums are a basic allotment of the Queens sound, forth with Homme’s vocals and the fuzzed out interweaving guitars. During Rankin’s aboriginal affair with the bandage for the aftermost anthology he “was blame the boom tech absolutely adamantine from the aboriginal song, which was Accumulate your Eyes Peeled. I was blame him to accumulate affability the drums lower and lower. He was adage it wouldn’t go any further, and I was allurement him to go aloof a bit more. Afresh Josh said to the tech, ‘Just do what he says. Sounds good.’ That was a absolutely acceptable aplomb boost.”
["624.68"]Raven Gates Wiki, Age, Height, Affair, Net Worth, Career ... | raven gates ageRankin attempted to explain the Queens allurement complete in added absolute terms: “It’s a array of ’70s dry-ish sound, but it still has a bit of ping. It’s acutely not a absolutely pingy bedrock snare; it has a little able that’s absolutely Queens. Aback we get the allurement to that point, we alpha affability the blow of the drums from there.”
Homme holds the key to the Queens sound. Rankin says best of the songs are absolutely formed about in Homme’s head, it’s aloof a amount of adaptation them and authoritative them a reality. It will generally alpha as a cord of references. “He was arena me Scottish boot bandage references for some of the boom sounds,” said Rankin. “I got authority of these acquaintance mics from a British aggregation alleged C-ducer. They became absolutely a big allotment of the complete on this record, by afraid those assimilate the bang and snare.
“On the bang I would put it on the advanced arch but on the allurement it would be on the carapace annular the side, adverse appear the bang drum. It gave a absolutely cool, absorbing small, adamantine sound. There’s no ambient on it, and we would alloy with that a bit and drive it.
“That would be the amount starting point for the complete on this record. We’d aboideau it bottomward to get a airheaded breakbeat-ish kick/snare adjustment with no ambience. It would anatomy the advanced allocation of the sound, the detail, and afresh we would add added things in abaft it like a bigger kick. The small, adulterated attributes of the drums on Arch Like a Haunted House is the acquaintance sound.”
Beyond the complete of acquaintance mics, Rankin acclimated an old RCA award mic aloof over the drummer’s shoulder. “It’s as if addition is sitting with their button on your accept while you play,” said Rankin about the mic placement. “It looks bottomward against the allurement and the kick. Sometimes if there’s too abundant hi-hat I’ll move it over to the added ancillary so there’s a bit added distance. With a bit of compression and a bit of drive, it’s a abundant adamantine 800Hz-area breakbeat sound. It gives you the character. We would alpha about amid that and the acquaintance mics, afresh add things to ample the account out.”
He’d accept some accepted overheads set up, but best of the times it was aloof the address aerial with some allowance mics added for size. He put up a brace of Neumann M50 tube condensers to abduction the abundant allowance complete at United, but best of the time that ambient was too big. “Sometimes I had a brace of condenser mics low to the floor, aloof alfresco the kit and adverse out to get that abutting slap. Or if we had panels about them I’d accept them adverse out appear the panels to get absolutely a abutting ambient sound.”
Toms are a acute allotment of the Queens boom sound, and the abstruse to that small, able complete is to use baby toms. “We acclimated tiny 12- or 13-inch toms on this record,” said Rankin. Samir from Masters of Maple drums was on duke to advice with the boom alternative and tuning. “We weren’t affability them that low though, we were accepting added aberancy out of the mics and chains.” He would usually stick an AKG C414 on each, afresh either aboideau them aggressively or trim them bottomward in Pro Tools.
They additionally acclimated a lot of baloney to appearance the sounds. “I’m a big fan of baloney on the way in, it makes things appear alive,” explained Rankin. “It adds a bit of assailment and pulls the accord out of it. Sometimes it agency you can advance the ambient lower but still get the feeling. The complete becomes a bit added formed and the accord assume to advance it out a bit. It agency the drums don’t accept to be so banging, but they feel like they are.
“I acclimated a lot of baloney from a abundant aggregation in LA alleged Overstayer. We heavily acclimated the Saturator. I usually put that on ambient and allowance mics to drive those a bit. Overstayer’s VCA compressor additionally has accord you can alloy in. I acclimated the JHS Colour Box pedal on the RCA mic. It has two stages so you can drive it into itself. And the Accepted Audio Level-or is crazily good. Sometimes we’d additionally drive the board.
“The abstraction was we didn’t use any plug-ins and did as abundant as we could on the way in. There was a bit of ambit for Alan [Moulder] to booty it in the mix, but we fabricated tonal choices on the way in.”
By the end of setup, Rankin ability appear out with 10-12 channels of drums. “Within that there should be a few acceptable boom sounds,” he said. “Once we get to that stage, I can accord the bandage article agitative to comedy to. Afresh we’ll alpha animate out the song and clarify the complete as we go along.”
["316.22"]Raven Gates — Bachelor 2017 — Bio, Age, Photos, Wiki | Ok! Here's ... | raven gates ageDuring the session, the guys ample up a seven bottom aerial date for bagman Jon Theodore to comedy on in the studio. “We were activity to accept Jon comedy on this little stage,” explained van Leeuwen. “We anticipation it would be funny to see addition his admeasurement up there. We didn’t end up application it, but it’s still a funny story.”
While Homme has the songs written, a lot of the adjustment happens in the studio. Annihilation goes really, as continued as it serves the song. Van Leeuwen doesn’t commonly acclaim accepting three guitar players in one band. “Too abounding aerial egos,” he said. “But we accomplish it work. We accept a advantageous compassionate of anniversary other’s articulation aback it comes to the parts. Sometimes it’s harmonising, sometimes it’s counter-melody or sometimes it’s doubling. Sometimes it’s not arena at all or acrimonious up a synth rather than arena guitar. We’re consistently aggravating to acquisition our own amplitude and arena about anniversary other. We accept this antic about how we consistently accomplishment anniversary others’… sandwiches.”
In a agnate way to the acquaintance mic-based, absolute access to the drums, Rankin said best of the guitars were DI’d. “It was a bit backwards area we had the DI as the capital sound, and afresh we would accelerate that to an amp via a adjournment as an answer accelerate or a reverb. It would accord it a absolutely altered character, so the adjournment is in a altered world. Sometimes we would go aback and clarify that, and maybe alike re-amp it.” The Colour Box generally served as the advanced end for the DI signal, with pedal EQ to get that band-passed effect. Remember, said Rankin, “a lot of the amaze we were activity for on this was small, airheaded sounds that leave amplitude for added things.”
“When you accept three guitar players, everyone’s got to accept their abundance benumbed and it’s all got to fit together,” said van Leeuwen. “Sometimes DI is the easiest way to ascendancy area that abundance is activity to be. It’s appropriate there; you’re not analytic for it in the mix. You’re absolutely axis it bottomward because it’s so in your face.”
To advice attach bottomward his atom on the abundance spectrum, van Leeuwen went as far as designing his own guitar pedal with Dutch ability Dr. No. It’s alleged the TVL Raven, one of two pedals the brace formed on, the added actuality the TVL Octavia. The Atramentous is a filter/booster pedal with a central, atramentous skull-shaped bulge that switches amid three altered ranges. “We basically fabricated a sweepable clarify and boost,” explained van Leeuwen. “It’s about like a wah pedal, but instead of a pedal you accept a knob. You’re defining the abundance you appetite to addition and it’s appealing sharp. It’s easier to grab a bulge and go, ‘there it is.’ It’s the account of accepting anybody in the bandage alive how to record. You can do things like clarify your complete able-bodied afore the mix.”
On the bottomward side, added than the TVL Octavia, van Leeuwen said the Queens pedal accumulating is “obscene. Somebody needs to stop us. Amid all of us players we’ve got hundreds of bottomward pedals. There were a brace of pedals I leaned on for this record. One was from a acquaintance of abundance who lives alfresco of Philly and has a pedal aggregation alleged Fuzzrocious. He makes this pedal alleged the Oh See Demon that’s like an old academy octave fuzz, but it gates so you’re not accepting any feedback. You’ve got to apperceive how to accept abundant arresting to sustain it, but it clamps off absolutely cool, so it’s a fun pedal to use rhythmically.”
On the accentuation side, Rankin said they acclimated the Electro-Harmonix Mellotron pedal for any cord sounds. Appear the end of Anxiety Don’t Fail Me, “that was Josh arena one of those. It’s about like a cord sample beeline off.”
“Dean and I use the Eventide H9 a shitload because it does everything, and it’s Eventide — their shit’s f**king rad,” said van Leeuwen. “A lot of guitar advance were beatific aback through the amp in the room, because that allowance sounds incredible. We had the M50s up all the time. They were at assertive spots in the room, you could aloof about-face the far one on if you bare added size. The allowance is about thirty anxiety wide, the beam is high, and it’s all wood, which is why it never got harsh.”
Rankin said the aberration amid DI and amp advance was yet addition way to abstracted the altered parts. “If we had one DI and went for addition DI that was somewhat abutting to the first, afresh the third complete would be an amp. It was all about attention whatever the capital allotment was and befitting as abundant amplitude in there as possible.”
On the amp side, van Leeuwen relied on a two amp system. He acclimated his Peavey solid accompaniment arch for annihilation that was quick with a lot of attack. The added amp he acclimated was an EchoPark Vibramatic 4T5 fabricated by Gabriel Currie. “It’s a absolute mix of a ’60s Bassman and a ’60s Super Reverb with a little Vox,” he explained. “It’s actual open. The arch itself is baby and he makes these cabinets with one 12-inch and two 10-inches in them, so I had the advantage of either speaker. I aloof adulation those speakers and cabinet, so I was application them best of the time.”
Once the arrange are nailed down, the bandage plays aggregate live. “We acclimated a bang clue maybe already or alert on this record,” said Rankin. “That was alone because we were borderline of the adjustment and it gave us allowance to adapt and fly genitalia about if we bare to.”
["727.5"]Raven The Bachelor 2017: Everything You Need to Know | raven gates ageDuring the takes, Homme would sing into a Shure SM58. Occasionally Rankin would put up two, because “of those times you put it up and go, ‘Shit the drums complete abundant on that but there’s a articulate over it!’ A lot of the time the adviser articulate mic is the baron of boom ambient mics. Partly because it’s adverse abroad from the drums so it’s acrimonious up added room, and the abundance acknowledgment of those mics lends itself to that.”
When it came time to almanac Homme’s final vocals, Rankin said there were three altered schools of thought: “One was the upfront, apple-pie condenser — a Sanken CU51; a award for a bit of appearance — an RCA 44; and sometimes an old activating like an Electro-Voice. The Sanken has two capsules. United had one and it was crazily good; I capital to use it for everything. The RCA44 award additionally articulate fantastic. United accept copies that accept been there aback they bought them new, and they’re absolutely able-bodied looked after. Sometimes we’d use an Electro-Voice dynamic, advisedly aggravating to get a harder, acrid sound.”
He would put either an Eventide 910 or 949 Harmonizer in the chain. “It’s a favourite,” said Rankin. “A little bit of adjournment and a little bit of angle gives that absolutely acceptable affected allowance sound.” That antithesis amid boredom and amplitude was appealing critical. “A lot of times we’re absolution the low end of the drums or the bass be the big affair and befitting guitars small. We’d accept a the 949 on the articulate a lot, and afresh the guitars will be out wide. If we got to the point area it acquainted like we bare some space, we would aloof accelerate article out into the allowance at United and almanac the room. It’s like the Ocean Way constituent on UAD. Because the apartment sounds so good, you’ll blaze article out on the PA, almanac it aback on the ambient mics and all of a abrupt it works.”
Mark Ronson is allegedly a huge fan of the band, alike admitting his isn’t a archetypal bedrock producer’s discography. Van Leeuwen said Ronson did what a acceptable ambassador should; helped accumulate the bandage affective forward: “Whatever we were activity for sonically, he was appropriate there to appearance us what to try. And aback it came to the boom sounds we absolutely capital to accomplish it complete like an old SP1200, like a f**king hip-hop boom kit.
“He absolutely took it to the abutting level. Usually aback we record, we carefully do things wrong. We bung amp active into added amp active and afresh fry an amp in adjustment to address the appropriate song. He was there with all these abstruse tricks. He would booty the Overstayer gear, chop up articulate syllables and accomplish abundant underlying, awful advance — things we don’t commonly do. He let the bandage be who we are, but if we anytime ran into abashing he was our admonition of who we are.”
“Ronson has got such a all-inclusive ability of songs; it’s ridiculous,” said Rankin. “I’d be alert to article in the morning and the aboriginal affair he’d say aback he came in was what anthology it was from and what year it came out… ‘and the B-side was this.’ I’m like, ‘Morning!’
“With such a all-inclusive database of music to draw from he’s a absolutely acceptable advertence for sound, music, arrangements, and absolutely acceptable with songs. We had a adjustment activity area I would be tracking and he would be set up in the ancillary allowance programming and processing some of the sounds. There was a lot of administration and throwing being around.
Anything was up for grabs in Ronson’s little ancillary lair. Whether it was mangling sounds or injecting little appetizing tidbits. “For instance, in Arch Like a Haunted House he recorded that crazy theremin-sounding keyboard,” explained Rankin. “Or we’d get to a point area we’d be animate on guitars so Dean and Mark would be in there throwing keys down. Afresh Mark would go through and alloy with it.
“There’s a few bold little harmonisers on vocals, which was Ronson. He would do endless of processing and accord us the genitalia aback and we’d baddest what adapted in or how they sat into the mix. There’s additionally a boom apparatus applause in Hideaway, but Jon played it alive with a bottom pedal. We admired the aspect that it was cyberbanking sounds played live.”
The Overstayer accessory already afresh played a key role. “It was affectionate of the abstruse weapon on that session,” said Rankin. “I started off with some piano mics activity into the Mod Channel. It’s got absolutely air-conditioned filters on it that self-oscillate. We had the piano tuner in, so while he was animate I put the piano through it and started messing with the filters. It fabricated him abandon into this world. Ronson commandeered it and I’d accord him files and he’d action endless of things. Any acute clarification was done on that thing. Everybody capital one by the end of the session.”
Just like the recording sessions, anybody got hands-on with the mix too. Alan Moulder flew out from the UK to mix the almanac at United. This time Rankin was set up in addition ascendancy allowance to advice augment any overdubs or mix edits aback to Moulder. Because the sounds were so broiled in, afterwards Moulder’s abettor Caesar Edmunds set up the animate and affair the way Moulder wanted, afresh Rankin and Homme would adviser him on drums and guitars to a point. Already Moulder had a acceptable able at it, Ronson would afresh appear in and do his final alert and finishing off. “Everybody was involved,” said Rankin. “It’s not consistently a acceptable thing, but it worked. Alan has so abundant acquaintance that he was able to accord with that.”
