Andy LaRocque (King Diamond) Interview about working with Death on Individual Thought Patterns

[@Citizen_JQP]

These Death interviews have earned you a sub my man. Chuck is missed terribly. What a titan.

[@intothecombine6169]

Appreciate it dude. Gonna upload a new Death one real soon 🤘

[@joshhellstorm184]

Agreed

[@FreneticZetetic]

ITP is my favorite DEATH album to this day, and Andy's leads have a lot to do with that. Chuck was a master at pulling together the best of the best to help bring his visions to the next level. Chuck was bigger than death metal.

[@sadboi7537]

Agree 100%. ITP is my favorite Death album as well. It’s such a sick record. Some people don’t like it because it was the “transitional” record, but it was THE best transition the band could’ve made at that time. Symbolic and SOP are also amazing, but ITP just absolutely nails everything perfectly.

[@FreneticZetetic]

@@sadboi7537 I agree. There's just something about it. It's the perfect blend of that early emerging death prog, but still had those low end speed riffs from the early days. It's aging like a fine wine. Overactive Imagination is my favorite opener, and arguably my favorite Chuck solo.

[@TheFLOMAN76]

Good stuff. I'm so very glad I met Chuck in 95. I love individual thought patterns. What a great album. And as the great guitarist himself, Andy, said, Chuck is very much missed in the metal community. R. I. P.

[@desTroyeth999]

I will see Andy for the 3rd time in November. He's one of the greats.

[@kellybogues]

Thanks for sharing all the Death related interviews. Rest in Peace Chuck.

[@darkkrenaissance42]

What a gift they both were To us

[@DaHanG]

I remember loving individuals thought patterns for a long time and not realizing Andy was doing the solos until years later. It’s probably my favorite death album, the perfect mix of their earlier aggression with their more modern progressive side. Also, trapped in a corner is a top 5 all time solo part to me. The transitions are insane.

[@stevai6732]

Absolutely, only Death song that comes close solo-wise on tone change and Chuck vs. Comrade is Perennial Quest. I can't tell which is better prolly Perennial but Andy's leads are just too good. Godly vibrato and phrasing

[@paulpulverspools1940]

Love that the most common thing in these interviews relating with Chuck that no matter who he asked to help ( from a lot of differs people ) with his next vision of his albums that Chuck said basically wanted each guy to do his own thing and each guy was able to contribute and make something really unique.

[@william.L]

Great interview. Love both Andy and Chuck respectively. They made one of the best ever !

[@karlricardo4088]

Trapped in a Corner! \m/

[@stevai6732]

Phenomenal track but Andy's solo on that is one of my biggest rock/metal virtuoso inspirations on par with Bark At The Moon or Painkiller as far as god tier solos go, a lot of the greats pale in comparison but that's just imo

[@borneluecke]

It's funny I knew of Death prior to Andy playing on that record. But never really listened to them. When I heard that Andy was going to be on that record I bought it and have been a death fan since. Andy is one of the most under rated guitar players he is just so good!

[@jumpfart666]

Andy the king of improv

[@gurnblanston5000]

Is the opening song CRYSTAL MOUNTAIN?

[@payazokoki]

Damnnn!!

[@geirholte1222]

ALR is a God. And Chuck was for me the best death metal guy. What a mix.

[@stevedamien638]

Chuck is not dead he's death

[@Mutabor1981]

Dead is per ohlin.

[@henrywalton5967]

Although Andy has cool solo's Chuck's are my favourite on this album, melodic, catchy and very memorable!

[@kritikalmass1334]

Had to do a double take. Thought theo von was hanging out with Chuck

[@intothecombine6169]

Lmao never gonna look at this pic the same again

“Roadracer Records” 😂

[@DCMOUNTAIN86]

Yes, that’s literally what the record label was called at the time. There was roadrunner records and then there was also roadracer records.
