ATTENTION: THIS PROFILE IS NOT MANAGED BY ANDY LAROCQUE This is the Andy LaRocque's fan profile, but it is not his personal profile on MySpace, so Andy will not respond your messages personally. Visit the official Andy's website: http://www.andylarocque.se PLEASE, VISIT THE OFFICIAL MYSPACE OF THE ANDY LAROCQUE'S SONIC TRAIN STUDIOS http://www.myspace.com/sonictrainstudiosvarberg Andy LaRocque is best known as the guitar player of the band King Diamond. For King Diamond, he is also a songwriter and plays occasional keyboards. LaRocque started in the Swedish hard rock band Swedish Beauty that later switched names to Swedish Erotica. He also played on the Death album Individual Thought Patterns and the IllWill album Evilution along with other, former Mercyful Fate members. LaRocque contributed a guitar solo to the track "Cold", featured on the album Slaughter of the Soul by Swedish melodic death metal group At the Gates. Producer Fredrik Nordström was responsible for the idea, and telephoned LaRocque. At the Gates' guitarist Anders Björler gave LaRocque an audio cassette recording of the song. The tape played at the wrong speed at LaRocque's house, so LaRocque had to transcribe the recording. Two days after receiving the cassette, LaRocque laid down a guitar solo for the song within half an hour. Björler described the solo as "great", and in a November 2007 interview admitted he still couldn't play the solo "properly". He can be heard on other albums as well, such as Falconer's Chapters from a Vale Forlorn. He owns a studio called the "Los Angered Recordings" in Angered, Sweden, since 1995, where he records many albums of other bands. In 2007, Andy moved the studio to varberg, Sweden and renamed the studio to "Sonic Train Studios" where he keeps producing bands til this date. He is well known for his signature guitar style. He usually uses a standard heavy "European" style with a slide before a solo in his "slide solos". DISCOGRPAHY E.F.
