Matt: How involved are you in the recording process as far as the technical side of things goes? Do you like to choose your own mics and set them up to your specs, or do you like to sit back and let the engineers do their thing while you focus more on the musical side of the process?

Christian: Yeah I’m involved in pretty much everything. I produced this record so I was right in there working on all levels. We had a great engineer on this record, Jeremy Blair, who worked with Guns n Roses, Zack Wylde and a bunch of other big bands. He worked at a place in L.A., that’s closed now, called Rumble, where he worked with a lot of famous groups, so it was great having him involved in the recording process. He knows all about what mics to use and where to put them for all of our instruments, guitar, bass, drums etc.

I know what works for guitar. I have my Randall signature stacks and my Jackson guitars, which are like the Ferrari’s and Bentley’s of amps and guitars, so we have great equipment, which really helps. My drummer, Raymond, owns Fleetwood Mac’s old studio, where we keep our gear set up and can go in anytime to record or work out tracks, which is a great thing to have when working on a new album.
