Andy Sneap on Judas Priest & Producing The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Bands

[@Paddyllfixit]

Happy belated 50th Andy! And Congrats on being awarded an Honorary Degree from University of Derby! *History of a Time to Come* and *Dreamweaver* are two of my all time fave metal albums. And you Rocked the late McGonagles a few times here in Dublin. Thank you for the music. Shout out from Éire!

[@razznote7586]

Sabbat is one of the most underrated band ever. Has 2 of my most favorite Metal album ever! Even better than Judas Priest, in terms of speed/heaviness/lyrical composition!

[@leeparker2949]

Jesus I can remember having guitar lessons, in his garden off this guy. Hes amazing really nice guy aswell

[@ironmaidenfan2144]

Instead of hate Andy deserves our admiration and standing ovation for 'his' and Tom's (Allom) Firepower. It is an incredibly produced album from A to Z. I don't remember any other album I was so hyped up about sinceeee Brave New World from 2000? And it fucking says a lot. Thanks a lot, Andy!

Greetings from Poland. We love metal and Judas!

[@taskmaster65]

Andy is like one of those old school producers where if I see his name it's probably going to be an album I like. I've seen people complain that his productions sound the same, but if tight punchy sound with clarity and dynamics is a bad thing, I'll just have to live with it. Great interview!

[@TheVoidwithChristina]

Thank you!

[@shaunhunter5850]

Nice interview, good friendly style from Ms Rowatt here, I enjoyed this

[@georgioskaratsoris7350]

Master! I salute you! One of the producers/sound engineers/studio owners who inspired me to become a sound engineer!

[@Syklonus]

Andy is a genius! He took a band who were sounding pretty tired at that point and totally revitalised their sound. Firepower has such a great production and it really helps bring the quality of the songs out. Both Iron Maiden and Metallica could really use the same kind of overhaul, and I'm shocked that neither of them has contacted Andy.

just found your channel and its outstanding - great work and andy sneap is just a superstar (Sabbat was amazing)

[@journeyintothebible]

[@afterforever2765]

[@treeduck3705]

Good interview with good questions.

[@michaelmclaughlin6440]

Yes I found out about Sabbat from Kerrang mag way back int he day, ordered up the demo tape and Andy kept in touch via mail and tape trading Mercyful Fate tapes with me forever! We still email every now and then what a great guy and a great interview! Thx

[@nikthomas-le7915]

Dude 🤘😎🤘

[@somersby64]

You're back from the void! Always rad to see a new video from you, especially with such a cool guest as Andy. Really like that you talked more about his as background as a musician instead of a producer. Thanks a bunch for making this Christina! :)

[@TheVoidwithChristina]

Thank you! I've filmed a lot of content of late, will be a lot more up here soon. Glad you enjoyed it! The plan was really to explore his history as a musician and how it informs his production. A really fun conversation. :)

[@distortion_plus]

Great interview & we’ll put together video!

[@Moonchilddbk]

[@coolhandchris5960]

Good interviewer ,great producer.

[@amartyasen9864]

Andy is a legend. Great interview!

[@razznote7586]

Sabbat + Judas Priest, truly Legendary! Add to that with him being one of the best (personally for me, he is the best) in terms of in Metal Production.

[@SwainBjornstrandt]

I grew up with his music.

[@veenanitai]

Andy you are just great and amazing

[@Paddyllfixit]

Curious to know if Andy ever worked with Scott Burns or at Morrisound during his time in the U.S.

[@Aethyrs]

I wish for another Hell record

[@ArnoldErnstToht]

United Abomination sounds great and makes that record better than it is + he dialled Endgame differently to accommodate Mustaine's shot vocals.

[@tobiaskrantz8222]

06:23 what band is dat ?

[@TheVoidwithChristina]

Sabbat!

[@michaelmclaughlin6440]

Hi Andy! Its Mike!

[@addgrav]

Still got that Derbyshire accent Andy!

[@w-james9277]

If only he produced Redeemer Of Souls.

[@mandolore_the_glorious7049]

And nostradamus in my opinion

[@ironmaidenfan2144]

@@mandolore_the_glorious7049 Nostrodamus production is not that bad imho

[@WheelgunDan]

PRIEST! PRIEST! PRIEST! PRIEST! (Drummers kick ass too.) PRIEST! PRIEST! PRIEST! PRIEST!

[@trentszeponski3456]

I enjoy these videos allot and I know my next thought could be of use more everywhere. If you scratch with your teeth or suck on a bite from a diseased creature, would you receive said disease?

[@Wargasm644]

The evolution of Priest. Yeah, KK and Glenn are not there anymore. But they still forge ahead. Ripper Owens should have gotten a little more love. He did a great job when Rob stepped out. And Robs albums with Fight are awesome. Rob will always be the “Priest” frontman too me. But Ripper stepped into some big shoes and brought it when they needed someone. And let’s face it. Rob is getting up there in age. And Priest is moving into the future with new players. They may need Ripper again if they decide to go on. Most people would call it a cover band at this point. But hey, I’m ok with it if it keeps the music alive for the next generation. 🤘🏻

[@cflowers69]

Liked the interview, but in all honesty I clicked because I wanted to look at the wicked cute girl. lol. Ok, I SUCK!

[@lizardsboy81westcoastshawn7]

I think he's a great guitar player but no1 can be as visual as kk downing or Glen Tipton Ild h8 to be in his shoes but I love watching priest I'm only 32 😂😂😂

[@jonesy2111]

I think it's cool that he doesn't wear a wig

[@jeffmoyer9617]

Cute and talented, no tats.
