Geoff Workman, a studio engineer who worked with Twisted Sister and Motley Crue (to name just a few) "back in the day," passed away yesterday.

MÖTLEY CRÜE Engineer Geoff Workman Passes Away
Posted on Friday, January 29, 2010 at 10:50:45 EST



Geoff Workman, who collaborated as a producer and engineer with some of the greatest names in rock, has died.

Not much is known about the circumstances of Workman’s demise.

However, session guitarist Michael Riesenbeck posted the following on Facebook: “Guys, we lost Geoff Thursday morning. He was at home, in his bed and it was peaceful. We will be making funeral arrangements early this coming week. It has been rough. Please pass this on to anyone who knew him or loved him.”

Workman’s career stretched back to 1970, when he was the tape op on the KING CRIMSON album Lizard.

Subsequently, he worked with QUEEN, JOURNEY, FOREIGNER, MÖTLEY CRÜE, THE CARS, TWISTED SISTER and TOTO.

Workman engineered the Crüe’s Shout At The Devil album. That’s his voice you can hear on the intro track, 'In The Beginning'.

I've always assumed that was Nikki's voice heavily distorted. Cool.
