AH: Well, the difference... there was a big difference with '''Andrea''', because '''Andrea'''... I had wanted to... I actually had because he let me do a lot of other things on the album, like he let me... I recorded it-not his first album. But I mean his new album; I kind of basically recorded it. So I recorded the bass and the drums... and on the tracks that he did: you know, the synthesizers... the whole thing. And it sounds pretty good to me; I mean, someone else might think it sounds like shit. But you see, I had a certain control with that, than I could have never had with Chad’s album... he can just go off and let some other guy mix it and everything, and then I come back and I listen to it and I go, "My God! What did he do to the guitar?" Whereas '''Andrea'''’s album, that first album, anyway, because I mixed that with him... he was basically the producer, but I was basically the engineer. So I knew what I wanted my guitar to sound like, and because he knew it was my guitar, he didn’t interfere wit h it! So he left me to do what I wanted to do with it. So that’s the big difference, because then I have more creative control over the whole thing. | AH: Well, the difference... there was a big difference with '''Andrea''', because '''Andrea'''...
