Mike
Clink started his career as an engineer at the famed
Record Plant, recording such bands as Metallica (including
tracks found on “Garage, Inc.”), UFO (including
“Strangers In The Night”), Jefferson Starship,
The Babys, Heart, Eddie Money, and many others.
Clink
began producing in 1987. Steve Kurutz at www.allmusic.com
writes about one of Clink’s earliest production
experiences: “…after a series of failed
attempts, a young band named Guns N' Roses asked Clink
to produce their debut album, ‘Appetite For Destruction’…
Channeling the unruly GNR's energy into a cohesive,
landmark album was no easy task, and because of it Clink
is regarded as a man who knows how to get the best results
from the acts he works for.” [Clink’s collaboration
with Guns N’ Roses lasted for five albums which
sold a combined total of over 35 million copies in the
U.S. alone.]
“Clink
is also known to choose his projects carefully and,
rather than take on every big name act that has been
offered to him, he has carved out a smaller, but credible,
portfolio of production credits. Those credits include,
Megadeth's Rust in Peace (arguably speed metal's finest
hour)…and I Mother Earth's [Juno award winner]
‘Dig’.”
Recently,
Mike has been involved in a variety of projects. He
recorded and mixed the live half-time show for Superbowl
XXXV that featured Aerosmith, ‘N Sync, Nelly,
and Britney Spears. He recorded and mixed a live television
special for Union Underground, and he recently produced
an album for Pure Rubbish a group of 16 year olds signed
to Ozzy Osbourne’s label, Divine Records.
Mike is currently producing an album for Camp Freddy which features featuring Dave Navarro (of JANE'S ADDICTION) on guitar,
Billy Morrison (of THE CULT) on guitar, Matt Sorrum (of The Cult, Guns N' Roses, VELVET REVOLVER) on drums, Donovan Leitch (of NANCY BOY) on vocals, and some very special guest artists.
