Unfortunately, the studio and all it's toys can be a crutch or worse, an actual impediment to getting things done depending on the band.

Re: What was the first record you ever bought?

I actually bought 3 records the first day I bought any albums. This was around the Christmas holiday season of '75 and I had just bought one of those big, clunky "all-in-one" record/cassette tape/am/fm radio stereos with a set of big speakers all in the fake wood finish after saving a few hundred bu...

This sort of thing happens to every band at some point. It's how they make up for the missed show(s) at some point in the future is what really counts. I wonder who eats the cost of the band, their entourage and their gear being flown there and back - Janes, the festival promoters or an insurance co...

Sure. That's two people. That's like an anecdote from a guy who knows two guys who won the lottery.

I'd be very surprised if more than a qu...

That's why I find it so irritating when they try to sell this new album in interviews. Either they are full of shit or it makes you wonder what their problem was during the reunion with Eric. Maybe Dave and Stephen were too scared to side with Eric, for fear of Perry's hissy fits. :banghead: Well y...

Is Apple really that big, bigger than Microsoft fx? Didn't think so Apple has been worth more and generated more income than Microsoft since early 2010. Microsoft has and continues to have a gigantic lead over Apple in regards to desktop/laptop OS software sales, but Apple crushes Microsoft in hand...

I liked Hanoi Rocks, too. I was a pretty big Hanoi Rocks fan back in the early 80's and was really looking forward to seeing them finally play locally in LA at the Hollywood Palladium. What made that show even more anticipated was they had the great and now sadly forgotten goth band Belfegore as op...

I'd suggest moving away from the "shades of light blue" board color scheme altogether, especially if you're going to make thread titles black. Just go monotone, blacks and shades of black (or gray) and even consider white text on black backgrounds. I like the simple yet effective color scheme on the...

I have no issue with how the albums sounded. That music deserved the epic production it received. Up the Beach would not have sounded the same otherwise. There's nothing like turning NS on, cranking the volume up and letting that song stomp on your fucking face. I'm not a big fan of the production ...

I found it fascinating that Rick Rubin was ready to sign them without Perry before NS even came out, and that they were ready to do it. Sort of a precursor to what led to Deconstuction on American. I remember an LA Times writer (might have been Robert Hilburn) reviewing NS when it was released and ...
