Michael Wagener
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Wagener is a music producer, mixer, and engineer from Hamburg, Germany, best known for his work with many top hard rock and heavy metal bands in the late 80's. Wagener's works have sold over fifty million albums worldwide. [1] Wagener began working as an audio engineer in Hamburg in 1972, after leaving the band Accept. Through a friendship with singer Don Dokken, began doing live sound. Wagener moved to Los Angeles in 1979 to produce the first Dokken album, and would go on to produce such seminal albums as Skid Row's self titled debut, which sold nine million copies in the US alone, and Ozzy Osbourne's No More Tears, which sold seven million in the US.
Wagener has produced platinum selling albums by Mötley Crüe, Accept, Great White, Stryper, Poison, Keel, Alice Cooper, Extreme, Megadeth, and Janet Jackson, and multi platinum albums with Ozzy Osbourne, Dokken, Metallica, White Lion, and Skid Row.
