From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andy Wallace is a Grammy Award-winning music studio engineer with a long track record of successful productions, beginning with the early 1980s production of the Run-DMC/Aerosmith collaboration on "Walk This Way". Following this breakout success, Wallace went on to work with Slayer, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Sepultura, Nirvana, White Zombie, Jeff Buckley, Faith No More, Rollins Band, Rush, Alice Cooper, Bernard Butler, Bad Religion, Rage Against the Machine, Alabama 3, Linkin Park, Trapt, Foo Fighters, Silverchair, At the Drive-In, Staind, Sevendust, Blind Melon, System of a Down, Phish, Skunk Anansie, A Perfect Circle, Limp Bizkit, Disturbed, Sir Paul McCartney, The Cribs, Atreyu, Avenged Sevenfold, and many others.
In 1999, Wallace shared a Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical with Tchad Blake and Trina Shoemaker, for their work on Sheryl Crow's album, The Globe Sessions.
He was the original producer for Finnish band HIM's fifth studio album Dark Light but was fired for making the band sound "too American."
In an article in Rolling Stone about the high-anticipated new Guns N' Roses album, Chinese Democracy, it was revealed that Andy Wallace was not only an additional producer alongside Axl Rose, but the mixing engineer for the album as well. Guns N' Roses' management was said to be "delighted" with the mixes.
