At this point all Drums and Bass = Done, the guitars are in progress, There's also alot of backingvocals being recorded at the same time.

We're getting more tired everyday now, mostly becouse all we eat is hotdogs and sandwiches and also becouse we are in the studio every minute of the day =D

I wanna thank Robbo and Sören for making my dream come true... or should I say, they got tired of hearing me talking about the Swedish "Jul Bord" (Xmas food)...

Friday Robbo was a pain in the ass wanting to try out stuff and change stuff all the time and I was hungry as an animal...To my surprise he only fucked with me to delay me from going out to buy lunch... they had ordered "Jul Bord" and Schnapps !!!!!!

I Love these guys, what a great thing to do...(Or maybe they were just to sick of me going on about the food hahahaha)

Here's some pics;)

So Sweet;)

2008-12-05T15:44:00.000-08:00

My old friend Martin Sweet (Crashdiet) visited my session today.
We started blabbering about shit at the spot, like two brothers that haven't met in a while.

He wanted to listen to what I've done so far so I played him a couple of songs.
To my satisfaction he smiled and said, I love that part, Wow, that sound just like what I would expect from a C. Laney album.
We had a few laughs of my direct connections to Shotgun Messiah, Def Leppard and KISS, lol, c'mon, I LOVE that stuff.

So after a few cups of coffee he tuned his ESP Les Paul and winged away some great solo stuff on the track "Fire & Ice", a track he said would fit right in on the "Crazy Nights" album by KISS....and we both love the KISS from that period.

Some of the takes will be on the "Making of" bonus on the cd.

Kind of felt weird not tagging along to the club "rocks" where he invited me tonight (He was the DJ)
but I know I have tons of stuff to do tomorrow.

Anyways, Keep visiting and drop comments, I'm on every day;)

"Last man Standing"....that was the working title of the album, but since there is too many songs/films named like that, i decided to pass, but thanx dr rock, Lillen and Jamie!!!!

2008-12-05T00:12:00.000-08:00

Hey ya all.

Wow, what a day.... We got ALL of the 12 tracks down that Kobie wanted to play on.
His Mapex kit sounded amazing.

Nalle "Grizzly" Påhlsson joined in and jammed. He is doing all of the bass work on the album too wich makes me happy, can't ask for a better, more solid rythmsection.

When it was time to lay down "Skin On Skin" Lennart & Johan wanted me to give it a try... (I was a drummer backwhen...) woho, It was so much fun and the result is cool, I am very proud to play drums on one track of the album, so much fun...But today...Blisters all over my fingers lol

Later we went out and had a few cold beers...gotta love life;)

Ok, here's something I want you to help me out with... Name my solo album!!!! Post your ideas here on the blog comments.

Cheers for now

Drumsession

2008-12-03T11:31:00.000-08:00

Koleberg (Therion, Randy Piper's Animal, Zan Clan) came and fired away today.. he did a great job, as always!

We nailed "I Dunno", "Fire & Ice", "Make U Cry" and "I Hate Your Guts".

First half of the day was set for just getting the right sound, but with a great drummer that is pretty easy.

Lennart delivered some pretty cool solutions and ideas..as always ;)

Here's some pix

Yesterday I had Alec Ferrarra over to write with me.
We had a blast and the song kicks!

It is a hard driven rawker, perfect for the album.

After the session we went out for a drink;)

Today Koleberg will come by so we can start working on the drums.

Can't wait to start recording for "real"

By The way, my Power Amp blew up hahaha
But the nice guys at Kulik Design is shipping me a new one!!!

Chris Laney solo session

2008-11-27T11:27:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone.

I am thrilled to announce that I am in production making my solo debut album.
Here some notes:

So far, starting Friday , November 21st, me and Lennart Östlund has listened through a lot of ideas that I have had in my computer.

Some great, some not lol!!

So it was back to writing new stuff, It has been a blast and my inspiration is flowing.

I hooked up with some of my song writing friends including, Anders Ringman (My Platform partner), Anders Lundquist (Whom I have co written songs with for ANIMAL and many more), Zinny Zan (My partner in crime in Zan Clan), Bruce Kulick (KISS, Grand Funk Railroad), Alec Ferrarra (Animal/Zan Clan co writer), Karin Sjögren (Loud) and of coz Lennart who I am brainstorming with 24/7.

Right Now 9 songs are roughly recorded with drum machine, guitars, bass and guide vocals.

Wednesday next week I have set my own deadline for songwriting.

Then it is time to bring in the guys who will back me up, Johan Koleberg and Nalle Grizzly Pålsson, both of Animal, Zan Clan and Therion fame.

Nalle also contributed with some songwriting, A big happy family hahahaha.

The sound will be a slightly more melodic that Animal and Zan Clan, But hey, this is MY album and I like that.
It is kicking ass all ready.

Here's some songtitles so far.

Pissed At What U Missed
I Hate Your Guts
Skin On Skin
The Last Man Standing
Fire & Ice

Keep visting, I will upload news daily from now on.

Cheers
