| The Mad Subwoofer User Info... | I am buzzed about this one...a bit of a thrill to see him for real. Check out his soundtrack to Slingblade or that "Apollo soundtracks" with Eno...good stuff. Those bass tones on the stuff he produdes are defintely some of my favs. - Sun, 18 May 2003 12:35am | ||
| Steve Weed | i know this is kinda off topic - but has anyone heard one of the first bands Lanois recorded w/ the help of his brother in thier Hamilton home - Simply Saucer?? they were recorded around '74 (Sonic Unyon just rereleased a compendium that includes unreleased stuff)...anyway, pretty incredible Canadian band - sound like a cross b/w early VU and Syd-era Pink Floyd... - Sun, 18 May 2003 11:21am | ||

| Anon386 | Only an idiot doesn't know who Daniel Lanois is. Ok maybe that's a bit harsh but you certainly can't call yourself a Canadian musician if you don't.. or you are really young. His impact on music world wide is arguably equal to or greater than any other Canadian. bio from his website: Called "the most important record producer to emerge in the Eighties" by Rolling Stone, Daniel Lanois has drawn kudos for his work with U2, Peter Gabriel, and Bob Dylan. Like his sometime collaborator Brian Eno, Lanois has shown a flair for delicate, atmospheric touches, both in producing material for other musicians and in his own projects as a composer and recording artist. Stressing emotional vibrancy over the technical aspects of making albums, Lanois has recorded in such unlikely settings as castles and dairy barns in his efforts to elicit honest, spontaneous performances. The results of this visceral approach have ranged from the soaring intensity of his Grammy-winning coproduction (with Eno) of U2's The Joshua Tree to the moody, understated passion of Lanois' solo efforts. Lanois' break came in 1979 when Eno, who was beginning to break ground with his starkly dreamy "ambient music," did some recording at his studio. The chemistry between Eno and Lanois in their instrumental experiments came to commercial fruition when Eno was tapped to produce an album for U2. For that effort, 1984's The Unforgettable Fire, Eno enlisted Lanois as coproducer. The results impressed another pop star, Peter Gabriel, who asked Lanois to coproduce his soundtrack to the 1984 film Birdy. Gabriel and Lanois again shared production credit for 1986's So and 1992's Us, Gabriel's most successful albums. Lanois continued to work with U2 as well, coproducing 1987's The Joshua Tree with Eno and serving as principle producer for 1991's Achtung Baby, which earned him another Grammy. In addition, Lanois earned praise for coproducing with Robbie Robertson the singer's eponymous solo debut in 1987 and, in 1989, for his work at the boards on Bob Dylan's Oh Mercy and the Neville Brothers' Yellow Moon. In 1989 Lanois released Acadie, his debut as a singer/songwriter. The album was received enthusiastically by critics, as was its 1993 successor, For the Beauty of Wynona. - Sun, 18 May 2003 7:28pm | ||
| Anonymous | So in other words, he helped out on one good album, a couple more radio friendly generic shitty albums, put out a couple of really shitty albums but he is canadian so we must worship him like a god? Sorry but the guy sounds like one of the least important people to ever do anything for the canadian music scene and he doesn't even play metal! Anon, you must be his wife or something because there is no need to get your panties in a bunch for a pretend rockstar. - Sun, 18 May 2003 11:21pm | ||
| Tom Seymour | fuck that shit, you fags, he's a great producer...his work with Peter Gabrial and Robbie Robertson speaks for itself. - Sun, 18 May 2003 11:30pm | ||
| Anon386 | Ha ha. Obviously I am a big fan and am not going to appologize for it. So what about metal? Any Canadian metal types have this kind of impact? - Mon, 19 May 2003 8:02pm | ||
| Axl Rose | Metal is for fags anyways. What's most funny bout metal is that it went from being big hair heshers hanging out in front of the Goose beating up punks and skaters,to a bunch of nerdy geeks that weigh no more than 100 pounds, are whiter than a sheet cause they never leave the basement, that couldn't fight thier way through an attack of acne.... - Mon, 19 May 2003 8:54pm | ||
| Raven | If you slag Lanois you are either too young or too stupid to know better. One of the all time great producers world-wide and a very capable/creative musician in his own right. Don't speak what you don't know. - Mon, 19 May 2003 11:42pm | ||
| ticklefish | You don't have to be a fan of Lanois, but to say that he has produced one decent album and a few radio-friendly pieces? Fuck, the guy has one of the most original production "sounds" out there, he is totally ground breaking, and any producer on this planet would kill to learn some of his secrets. I am totally psyched that a guy like Lanois is going to play a venue like that.... - Tue, 20 May 2003 12:41am | ||
| Anonymous | Metal??? Get fucking serious.... - Tue, 20 May 2003 1:52am | ||
| Lamer | Yeah, it would totally suck to have Daniel Lanois resume. U2, Peter Gabriel, Bob Dylan, Robbie Robertson. And those really lame albums, Joshua Tree, So, I mean really and that sooooo lame movie soundtrack from Birdie. If I was Daniel Lanois I'd listen to these anonamous posters and go suck on a gas pipe 'cause I really suck.. Yeah, that's what I'd do. - Tue, 20 May 2003 11:06am | ||
