	Zwaremetalen - Interview Andy La Rocque
		Andy LaRocque is het meest bekend van zijn werk bij King Diamond maar hiernaast produceert hij en is hij te horen op tal van metalplaten als gastmuzikant en was hij onderdeel van de monsterline-up, die Individual Thought Patterns heeft ingespeeld.
		Andy is de enige muzikant, die op alle King Diamond albums te horen is en daar The King geen interviews doet tijdens het touren maar er wel de mogelijkheid was om met een ander bandlid te praten, liet ik me die kans niet ontnemen.
		Andy: Sommige keyboardpartijen staan er ook al op.

		I managed to reach bands guitarists Andy LaRocque and Mike Wead before the band's first sold out night in Helsinki and they were nice enough to have this brief conversation..
		Andy: No titles for that yet, no. I just know it's going to be thirteen songs on the album.
		Andy: We're working on it right now collecting materials just to see what we have.

	The Metal Crusade Vol. 1 no. 3
		ANDY: Mikkey Dee had just joined King Diamond (May '85).In June they went into the studio to record Fatal Portrait when they, after a week, found out that the guitarist they had at that time wasn't that good.
		ANDY: My so-called "solo-project" turned out to be more of a band effort since the other guys liked it so much that they wanted to be seriously involved.
		ANDY: He called me and asked me straight if I'd be interested in doing some leads on their album and I said yes because I thought DEATH was a real good band, and it was a great challenge to play that style.

	PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY LARRY "LARRYD" DAGLIERI
		How I came to have this disc is very interesting; I was in the mood for something new, interesting, and something that I don't normally listen to, and this popped up on my doorway one day.
		Actually, Ken Golden described this to me before I scoffed it, and it really didn't sound up my alley, except that Andy LaRocque (of King Diamond) was producing the disc, and playing some guest solo spots on it as well.
		Andy LaRocque produced this disc, and King Diamond's discs are among some of the best sounding discs in metal, so it's no wonder that Evergrey sounds ever great as well.

		When it came to mixing the stuff, that’s where Andy and I were really put to the test because then we realized what a totally different environment we were suddenly trying to be experts on.
		Andy (LaRocque, guitar] did the solo, of course, while Mike [Wead, guitar] was on the opposite side trying to hold the rhythm with the bass and the drums in the middle.
		And every time Andy finishes a solo live—I’m not saying this to complain because he’s my favorite guitar player in the world—but every time he finishes a fast guitar solo on stage, he has a tendency to hold a long feedback note until he finds a safe spot to come back into the song with.

	King Diamond - interview Feb 2002
		He's from a little north of where I am in Dallas and he was unbelievable because he had that kind of time structure in his body and he can relate to the type of complexity we had in the early days.
		Andy and I have had to hold back on the writing for the other albums.
		So the writing, Andy and I didn't have to think about the time structures or any of that, it is no problem for the guys to play.

	Transcending the Mundane: Interview with Melechesh
		No, fat guitars that are still very clear and not drowned in too much lows, pounding drums and warm bass sound supporting the whole monumentum.
		Andy, because he is also a great musicien, understood where we're coming from, and if we weren't happy with a couple of things, he would insist till things satisfied us.
		He's a very nice a professional person to work with, with a lot of patience and a good ear to listen to your style and try to find a sound that fits it.

	My King Diamond Experience (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		I asked him how Andy gets his sound, I sure wish I could remember, I just remember that Andy plays mainly three guitars, a Les Paul (which he used on Halloween, and Don't Break the Oath, a B.C. Rich Warlock, and I don't remember the other one but it is a B.C. Rich also.
		Show time is getting close now, A crew person wakes Andy up after I suggested to Andy that he has plenty of time for sleep if you don't go on for so many hours from now.
		He could tell that it was recorded on a cheap four track recorder, but he said the overall quality of the tape considering what I had to record with was not bad and he really liked the music itself a lot.

		Therefore he talked to Andy LaRocque (guitarist of King Diamond) and invited him to listen to some of the tracks.
		Andy was quickly convinced and introduced vocalist Apollo Papathanasio (Faith Taboo, Meduza and Time Requiem) as well as drummer Daniel Moilanen.
		But it wasn't until 2000 when he introduced a few of his songs to Andy LaRocque, King Diamond guitarist, that he was persuaded to recruit a full band.

	Morrigan's Pit - metal webzine
		Andy Larocque did master the record as well, which of course added more clarity and punch to the over-all sound of the record!!
		I think that having somebody like Andy having a different view of the music and sound that he wants to inject can be a big help - and I think this record is a result of this.
		It's funny, because we talked to Andy (Brainstorm singer) about that as well, when we played with them at Bang Your Head last summer.

	METALLIAN - King Diamond
		Andy LaRocque would join Death and play on the Individual thought Patterns album during this period.
		Listening to this material I realized things I had not realized before like if you listen to the solos, Andy has more of a tendency to do this than Mike, when a fast solo is finished Andy often has a long feedback note hanging there.
		Andy has that tendency to finish his solo with that hanging note until he finds the right spot to jump back into the rhythm.

	King Diamond: Obey Your Master! Feature Interview At Blistering.com
		With his trusty sidekick Andy LaRocque by his side, King managed to put together The Puppet Master under the most unconventional of conditions.
		So suddenly it was just Andy and me. We went through different options for guitar players by looking at tapes and listening to some demos of other players, but over and over it would come back to how if we could just grab Mike Wead from Mercy.
		We trusted what Mikkey said and we called Andy to come down the next day, so he plugged in and we played him a piece of "Dressed In White" where he would have to play a solo later, and after a couple of times he ended up playing the solo that is on the album.

	Blistering.com Review: King Diamond - The Puppet Master
		King has stated numerous times that his band at the moment is comparable to his band in the late 80's that featured drum wizard Mikkey Dee and underrated guitar slinger Pete Blakk.
		King proves that sentiment correct on The Puppet Master, for the unsurpassed chops of Andy LaRocque are complimented perfectly by the sensitive, doomy playing of Mike Wead (also of Mercyful Fate).
		There is an extra melodic quality to LaRocque's and Wead's riffs that elevate tracks like "The Ritual," "Darkness" and "Blood To Walk" to levels unseen this decade.

	Album Reviews-D (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		It takes a listen or two to get into and the songs are quite unconventional and not very catchy save for a few passages, the music's strength lies in its aggressiveness and depth.
		Andy LaRocque does a nice job with his guitar capturing some of the dark '80s styled melodies, although they're still quite a bit different than his work with King Diamond.
		There really aren't any weak songs on this disc and each one because of the complexity is kinda hard to pin point, but its all technical and it all rocks.

	Metal Maniacs - Metal Talk Forum - Hank Shermann appreciation thread... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		I love both players and Hank is a god, but LaRocque is definitely the more skilled player.
		Shermanns solos are blues/rock based and LaRocques are completely skilled theory based pieces.
		Besides, his stuff tends to be more quick, intricate, and more expressive than Andy's.

	Rough Edge: King Diamond CD Reviews
		The band is dead-on tight and Andy LaRocque and Mike Wead lay down some killer solos.
		Still, if that's my worst complaint about "The Puppet Master," that tells you what a strong album it is. Fans of King Diamond should be thrilled with this latest chapter and those who have avoided the band in the past may very well still find this CD to their liking.
		King Diamond played keyboards and sang all vocals; King Diamond was supported by Andy Larocque and Glen Drover on guitars, David Harbour on bass, and John Herbert on drums.

	Transcending the Mundane: Interview with Evergrey
		Was any attempt made to bring Andy Larocque back in again?
		Yes, it most definitely led to that as we felt we needed to do something to sort of keep our interest and freshness up.
		I mean, we did record it in Andy's studios, but as you said we produced it ourselves and we are extremely happy with the result.

		And often, people are surprised that Andy LaRocque was the one who made me want to learn fingerstyle guitar.
		Fingerstyle guitar has found it's way into rock and metal very seldom, but I think it's one of the best 'tools' or styles to learn.
		Andy LaRocque introduced me to 'crickets' Paul Masvidal made me fascinated with 'legato' playing.

	Empty Words - Forgotten
		This album put Richard Christy on the map as one of metal's finest and busiest drummers, opening up doors for him to play in many other outfits like Iced Earth and Incantation.
		King Diamond guitarist Andy LaRocque's fiery leadwork (how about that buttery guitar tone?) was a hard act to follow.
		Unable to tour with Death, Andy's shoes were more than adequately filled by Eyewitness and Millennium shredder Ralph Santolla on the INDIVIDUAL tour of the States.
