Andy LaRocque is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on November 29, 1962 in Sweden, Sweden. Guitarist, songwriter, and synth player for the Danish heavy metal King Diamond.
He and Glen Drover have both played with King Diamond.
LaRocque opened a studio called the “Los Angered Recordings” in Angered, Sweden in 1995, where he produced and recorded albums for many bands. In 2007, he moved the studio to Varberg and renamed it “Sonic Train Studios” where he continues to record and produce for various rock and heavy metal bands. He is well known for his signature guitar style incorporating neoclassical elements into his playing, specially by using exotic scales such as harmonic minor, phrygian dominant, and diminished minor scale. His extended theory knowledge enables him to mix these neo-classical scales with others such as blues scale or melodic minor. He has a very distinct guitar tone for his solos, and often incorporates layers of harmonies over his scale runs and phrasing. He frequently uses a mixture of classically-flavored arpeggio sequences and alternate picked scale runs intermixed with melody lines to create his signature style.
LaRocque was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2007. He is regularly listed as among the best or most underrated guitarists in heavy metal. He cites Michael Schenker and Randy Rhoads as major influences. He also likes Steve Vai and Tony Iommi, and was impressed by the friendliness of Chuck Schuldiner when he recorded Individual Thought Patterns with him.
He grew up in Göteborg, Sweden.
