Eric is one of the best. Ridiculously talented and one of the nicest guys around, always humble. The sounds he created are so unique and distinctive. Thanks for this episode Andrew.
Fond of you both ,excellent episode ....just a side note ....insane volume difference between the 2 of you .... maybe the moderators could pay attention in later episodes
This guy Is so amazingly talented and seem to be a super nice person at the same time... is there a chance to have some video on puremix with him ?(knowing the Grammy for best rock performance will go to grace and him this year) I love all the stuff he’s doing on his channel but with the puremix format it would be even better
I just listened to that song again after a long hiatus, and not only does it hold up, it sounds WAY better than I remember. Eric Valentine records are so timeless.
Since it is your favorite album, I'd be remiss if I didn't tell you there exists a deconstruction video on 'Make Damn Sure' on EV's youtube channel but I'm guessing you knew that. Just making sure! Damn sure you could say. (The drum fill into the chorus sounds amazing solo'd) KAH DUH KAH DUH
@@kelsoncamp yeah I think I watched/listened to some of that but it was a little too much of that one song. I should probably revisit sometime when my attention span is better. I appreciate it though!
Is there any info on which sound panels Etc was referring to as "Super cheap" from amazon? That would be good to have for temporary solutions or to recommend to people on a really tight budget (me included! I have some panels but more resources for when I need more would be helpful). I'm searching on my own too but would love a link if available.
There is a documentary on YOUTube called REEL Satriani (1995) about the making of that Satriani album that Eric was talking about. Joe was not happy at all with how the band was playing the songs. Glyn Johns was trying to figure out what Joe was looking for. It is really interesting. Certainly some very tense moments in those sessions.
Cosy Powell’s “Dance With The Devil”, Ginger Baker’s “Toad”, Bonzo’s Montreaux, Dana Carey’s “I Like To Play” from Wayne’s World 1, etc, etc … OMG I found myself disagreeing with EJ for the first time ever! Drums are an amazing solo instrument!
@@JohnLnyc A bit of a misconception. Brian used The Wrecking Crew for only Pet Sounds (and Good Vibrations) and they played on the Byrds' Mr. Tambourine Man
Don’t be deceived by the use of studio musicians on records. Michael Nesmith: After a tour of duty in the Air Force, Nesmith was given a guitar as a Christmas present from his mother and stepfather. Learning as he went, he played solo and in a series of working bands, performing folk, country, and occasionally rock and roll. His verse poems became the basis for song lyrics, and after moving to Los Angeles with Phyllis and friend John London, he signed a publishing deal for his songs. Nesmith's "Mary, Mary" was recorded by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, while "Different Drum" and "Some of Shelly's Blues" were recorded by Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Poneys. "Pretty Little Princess", written in 1965, was recorded by Frankie Laine and released as a single in 1968 on ABC Records. Later, "Some of Shelly's Blues" and "Propinquity (I've Just Begun to Care)" were made popular by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on their 1970 album Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy. Peter Tork An accomplished musician He was recommended for the Monkees after his good friend Stephen Stills was turned down after an audition. Tork had a long musical career after the monkees (he played on a number of Monkees songs) and contributed banjo playing on a George Harrison project.
You aren’t attempting to say the original Byrds couldn’t play?. The original five-piece lineup of the band consisted of Jim McGuinn (lead guitar, vocals), Gene Clark (tambourine, vocals), David Crosby (rhythm guitar, vocals), Chris Hillman (bass guitar, vocals), and Michael Clarke (drums). Producers often bring in experienced studio musicians because recording is a unique and high pressure situation with a lot of money on the line. The wrecking crew could work fast. Most Nashville talent has studio musicians who record and road musicians who tour. The amazing guitar work on Aerosmith’s “Train Kept a Rolling”was recorded by Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner when producer Bob Ezrin brought them in. No one would denigrate Steve Perry or Brad Whitford Brian Wilson used the wrecking crew because they could keep up with his genius and work fast.
"Unlike anything I'd ever heard in my life" - And that is still true today. Literally how I describe T-Ride to anybody: Completely unlike anything you've ever heard. Also... I need to hear this song "Talk Dirty" from Telluride.
It also sounds like Eric's audio sounds roomier than when he records his own videos in that same room. Not totally clear if his vocal mic is the only source we're hearing..you can definitely hear some kind of room reflection on his voice

From memory I think Steve Albini records guitars a few feet back too.
I got Smashmouth for Walking on the Sun, but I loved that whole record.
I just listened to that song again after a long hiatus, and not only does it hold up, it sounds WAY better than I remember. Eric Valentine records are so timeless.

Damn, I'm listening now and wondering as well. Did you find them?
@@talktokale I think Eric said they are the acoustimac panels.
@@mrufino1 Cheers!
@@talktokale I also see that ATS acoustic panels are not expensive and the shipping is less than acoustimac.

The "Monkees" are basically Davey Jones and The WRECKING CREW 🤘🏻❤
So were the Beachboys (Brian) and the Byrds (McGuinn) and the wrecking crew.

Also... I need to hear this song "Talk Dirty" from Telluride.
Two just... mega heavyweights chatting. So cool. Thanks gents.
Thank you for watching
amazing show!
Cheers Joao !!
What was the composer/arranger Eric mentioned named?
What are you talking about, drums are beautiful solo instrument in good hands 😉
This is freaking awesome
AWESOME Steve!! thanks for the kind words!!
"Andy Fairweather Low" (about 50 minutes in.) Only because I'm a little older than Eric :-)
Part deux!!
Carson Daly at KROQ (~1h 18m in). Again, I'm of a certain age...
great, but huge volume difference between Andrew and Eric
It also sounds like Eric's audio sounds roomier than when he records his own videos in that same room. Not totally clear if his vocal mic is the only source we're hearing..you can definitely hear some kind of room reflection on his voice
That cannot be the audio from Eric’s sm7.
why isn't eric louder ? it's called pureMix guys, come on. otherwise very cool
