John Rzeznik's Microphones

I used a [Sennheiser] 441, that long, skinny rectangular thing that Stevie Nicks used to sing into. We just wrapped a pop filter around it and taped it up to it and yeah, just plugged it in. You can give a performance; if you want to bend over just to get a note you can do it. It's almost like you're live on stage when you sing that way. I think a lot more emotion comes across in that. And it sounded good. So it's like would it have been a more hi-fidelity situation had I used my favorite 251? Yeah; definitely. But the important thing is getting the feeling across.

I’m using a Neumann KM 184 in front of a sound hole as well. But we keep it flat so we can have it for the recording, ‘cause we have to remix this whole thing for film.
