j'ai trouvé un pote à doc loco
Dan Hawkins (The Darkness)

Although the band draws inspiration from the ’70s and ’80s, effects aren’t a big part of your guitar sound.
If you can’t get a Marshall sounding good all by itself, then there’s something seriously wrong.
You’re also a proponent of multi-amp rigs, rather than using one amp with multiple channels.
Everything these days seems to be about efficiency and downscaling. I like a bunch of Marshalls putting out a lot of sound. I think it’s exciting when everyone in the band is cranked up and going for it—you just turn everything all the way up and have a big fight! And I like that element of doubt, when you’ve got this big guitar sound and you don’t know exactly when or where feedback is going to happen. It’s about flying by the seat of your pants, rather than having everything all turned down and overly processed. Too many kids learn to play through these effects boxes that have “metal sound” programs, and then they can’t whack the crap out of their guitars when they play through an amp.
That kind of aggression is what’s so cool about your record. It sounds as if you guys want to take over the world.
It’s quite unapologetic and noisy—which is good. You tend to hear a lot of the same guitar sounds these days—the whole over-produced, nu-metal rock rap PRS-through-a-Boogie combo thing. There’s no life in those sounds.
sinon, son équipement en amp :
Amps: Marshall 1959 Super Lead 100 reissue, Marshall Mk II reissue, Mesa/ Boogie V-Twin,’60s Marshall 2x12 cabinet, Marshall 4x12 cabinets.
(comme certains d'entre vous, mais faut avoir les moyens, il dit que les amplis avec plusieurs canaux et plein de pédales, ça le fait chier, qu'il préfère avoir un tas d'amplis tous réglés différemment et de passer d'un ampli à un autre sur scène
