I will never forget how he basically _EXORCISED_ that solo out of Kirk Hammett when making The Unforgiven. One of the best solos on that record; one of my favorites, period. Kirk was just having a hard time that day - and Bob just pushed him, and pushed him, until _that solo_ came out - and it was glorious.
@agl He wasn't fine with it. Kirk wanted to have solos but Lars said no, because he thought solos were outdated.
BUT WHERE IS DA WAH?
@@axeloverstad7383 Isn't that from the SKOM documentary, though?
@@axeloverstad7383 that was on St Anger, the original post is talking about the Black album.
YES. This is exactly what I think of when I hear Bob's name. Makes me wanna pick up my guitar and not put it back down.
Bob: _I'm tired of arguing._
James: _No, you're not._
Priceless.
😂
I can picture Bob in my head having a ptsd twitch everytime the Black Album is mentioned xD
I love how it took Bob a few seconds to realize he'd been trolled. James was quick on that one.
@@lolxdroflmao For Sure Man. They were caved in there at this Studio for i don´t know how long.
@@lolxdroflmao For Sure Man. The making of looks pretty stressfull but it paid out in the End. The Bass Intro for my Friend of Misery is so cool. They should have kept Jason i don´t know. Rob is cool though but Jason was more in the Songwriting and wanted to get in there where Rob seems mor like a hired Guy.
He sounds like he's on the cusp of bursting into tears.
yeah I was thinking the same thing.
My guess is dealing with some condition as the years add up.
I said this long ago in the comments but I'm back and again I hope he is doing well because this doesn't look well...Bob is one of the absolute hands down GOAT producers IMO!
Spasmodic dysphonia
Correct me if i'm wrong but i have a feeling i noticed something similar to Kirk Hammett's interview as well...
You'd never get this on TV. This is what TH-cam is for.
Faaaax
Agreed
I dont own a tv
You can cast it if you've got chrome
Technocrats
His take on St Anger and being okay with taking the heat so that they’d stay together gives me a new appreciation not only for the album itself, but for Bob. Wow
St Anger ruined his career, he disappeared after that
@@M97-u8t Maybe so but it's cool to know he did that to save Metallica in a way. He's already taken blame for other things so he's used to it and is ok with it
@@M97-u8t Nope, he produced Crazy Love and that album was a number 1. If anything, he sorta disappeared after The Offspring album.
Edit: Also Ultra beat down by dragonforce was not prodced by him, but he did produced 2004 Simple plan's album that had welcome to my life which is a great track and he produced some Bush albums. After "let the bad times roll" he sorta chilled out a bit, so that would be on the Offspring hehe.
its odd ive never thought that was a bad album cause as a little kid i watched some kind of monster and that got me EVEN MORE into metallica cause it showed me a side tot them there music and music videos couldnt show me so, that album i really liked only when i got older i found out it was recognized as probably one of the worst albums they put out.. i was like what??? its not the best but no where near the worst
@@MetaITurtle St anger didn't ruin his career, he kept producing big acts like simple plan, the offspring and Bush, not everything is Metallica centered.
He has the tranquility of a really well behaved, elderly golden retriever.
a golden retriever that drinks Molsons...
Seems jittery though
He lives in Maui doesn't he?
HHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHHA
@Batphink Reynolds dumb
Best part of this? He barely mentions guitars. Feels like Gibson has faith in the audience to understand their name is associated throughout, embedded in the subtext of rock n roll. No need shove it down our throat and try to shift units. Brilliant interview. More like this please. Music music music!
Glad you enjoyed it! More episodes to come!
Well said bro, Gibson indeed is aware of its legacy into rock n roll.
@@gibsonguitar glad to see you guys are finally getting it right. Seems that right oeiple are in the right positions now. Maybe. Well see
@@gibsonguitar We're waiting to get this Jerry Cantrell episode. Sooo cool!
Exactly! These kinds of interviews are why people buy guitars. I was at my local Guitar Center and they were SO busy, they're ALWAYS busy. Whoever said the electric guitar is dead was very, very wrong!
A minute in and I'm just saddened hearing him. Seems like yesterday I was watching the making of the black album.
That was 30 years ago!! I'm just having a real hard problem growing old and seeing my heros age.
So AM I Nick.... Getting old brings a LOT of emotional baggage to the surface.
@Eduardo Viegas fuckin shit you are a kid ,42 is not old , buddy ,not these days ,you are in the best years ,mature enough ,but no old brother , when we are young we don't have the essential baggage for life ,we are just collecting ,learning , at 40 you are supposed to learned enough to enjoy the good things in life .
Enjoy it ,you have so much to live
Same here, I recently saw a picture of Ian Gillan, Holy crap he got old, which means I got old too, Damn......
It feels like 30 years went by so fast. I'm 42 and feel the same way. we have to remind ourselves that it's never too late, or too early to start!
@Eduardo Viegas Oh, to be a baby of 42 again. 😆
"Learning all of Cliffs parts...... fuck me....." says it all
RIP
I laughed out loud on that part 😅
Its hard to copy a sloppy bassplayer
@@LDN76 theyre all sloppy..
@@LDN76 off by sloppy you mean genuine and timeless
Yeah, just like Sid Vicious
To this day the black album is still one of the best sounding records of all time.
Don't forget Load and Reload.
@@endezeichengrimm I agree. Whatever people think of Load and ReLoad in a musical sense, no one can deny that the production on those albums was top notch.
erlend myhre absolutely
The way he pushed kirk for the the unforgiven's solo.
I have it, it's still great...
I remember as a kid asking my parents to rent a year-and-a-half in the life of Metallica every time we went to the store. It was on VHS tape and there was two tapes. I've been playing guitar now for 20 years and I'm telling you watching that made me want to play guitar for the rest of my life. I'm just a nobody but I Love to play. So thanks for the inspiration Bob Rock and Metallica.
Preach. I had part 1 for a while and then finally part 2. I remember rewinding the bit where Kirk is laying down the solo for Struggle Wtihin over and over and being completely blown away. I can't believe how time flies.
I think I watched "year and a half" so much that tapes got worn out)) Jasons lines for Sad and Tread blew me away and there was no way back, playing bass ever since!
Hi just gotta say, VHS movie tapes are a quarter each at garage sales. So I have like 600 movies now. 10 fit in a cardboard flat that holds 24 cans. So when you have 3 stacks of those, it's easy to count the movies.
Curtis Banghart I watched that documentary everyday after school for a year straight man hah. Big inspiration to me as well
Got a lot of inspiration watching that film back in the day
Bob Rock: I was smiling, because it was fun.
James H: We don't smile.
Fast-forward twenty years, and they're all smiles....
It was actually lars who said that though
AH's
This is the best thing Gibson has put out in a long time.....
Thanks for watching!
Bob Rock helped destroy rock music. Nomen NO est omen.
@@Qwerty-ks8dn Nah. Chris Lord Alge, however...
The BEST thing Gibson put out? What about their guitars like the infamous Les Paul's? LOL!
@@marccebula7822 nono: THIS is the best thing they've put out In a long time.
This guy should be sainted for making the best suggestion in the history of music: telling Metallica to slow "Sad But True" down and drop it a wholestep. This alone birthed the most monolithic, heaviest, colossal, iconic Metal song of all time. And then the production he got on that thing as well - just out of this world.
not sure why he made up the part about them saying “no we’ve never detuned before”. they’d already done it on the “The thing that should not be”
@@coldacreYeah, it's factually incorrect - "Thing" was indeed already tuned down to D.
I agree... except for the whole 'no bass' thing
@@joshuanicely8722 What do you mean? Bass being too low?
The Thing That Should Not Be is D and they played it in Seattle in C# Standard
42:06 for Metallica, but you really have to watch the whole video.
Christian Arellano thank you for this time stamp!
and justice for all .... I always hope they keep the reel tapes, then one day remix it all.
At 2min, i knew that i will not skip to 42min.
Let's be honest he's only know for that one album either than that no one actually gives a damn on his work 😬
@@beefcake0354 apparently the original tapes have been completely shredded over time, making a remix would be near impossible at this point sadly, unless all of the original stems are preserved somewhere else.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SERIES!! You have to continue producing these. PLEASE!!
Icons: Dave Mustaine coming soon
@@gibsonguitar please do more of these
@@SwagCashMoney More coming very soon!
@@gibsonguitar legends! You wanna tell me who it is? 😉 I'll keep it between us I swear!
I met Bob in 82 when I was in a band called The Metros. We did a demo with him at Little Mountain and opened some Payolas shows. I’m so happy to see the positive trajectory his life has taken the last 40 years
Unpopular opinion : also Load and Reload are very good albums.
I saw Bob in the film Some Kind of Monster and came away thinking he was the only grown-up in that whole project. I looked over at my wife and said "I really like this guy." Such a great person.
Agreed
Load and Reload have the best tone I've ever heard imo.
It's not unpopular, it just takes a single unbiased listen to understand how good both those albums actually are. listen to Metal Up Your Podcast, they explain it best.
@@sourcemonkey Meh. They were trying too hard. Or not trying hard enough? Dunno. But a rock album shouldn't have to be explained to be good. It should just be good.
I don't play guitar, I didn't know who this guy was/is, don't know how I got into this video, but I watched the entire interview. Bob seems like such a good dude. I'm glad I got to see this.
The first thing that struck me is he still has GREAT hair!
Plugs
@@m.a.4949 ^Jealous.
Simple. Good genes. I’ve seen a patient, in late 60s with multiple disease (bless his heart) with hair like Chewbacca. Thick wavy without the slightest receding hairline. Imagine young david coverdale
Paramarta Iganp - David Cover Version
@@iganpparamarta8813 my dad had a full, really full head of hair in his 80s....my brother and I weren't so lucky.
I always hated that Bob Rock got a lot of flack for "softening" Metallica's sound...because the band wrote the songs for the black album and recorded the demos before they had ever hired a producer. They probably had never even met him at that point. They made their own conscious decision to change their sound. And if you listen to those demos....Bob Rock (and no doubt heavily assisted by Randy Staub) brought out the absolute best in the songs that they wrote. I actually wish he'd work with them again, although Hardwired is a fantastic album. It would be nice to hear Bob and Randy with the band again, reunite the team that did their best sounding albums, sonically.
Thank you for saying this. You're 100% correct. I don't recall whereI heard this, but on an interview with Bob he stated he was expecting to do a "Justice type record." Instead, like you stated, they wrote the black album and then hired him. Furthermore, he didn't win many battles on the black album (He got them to slow down Sad But True and not much else IIRC). They hired him and he gave them exactly what they wanted. Metallica grew and some of the fans couldn't handle it so they found a scapegoat. Bob Rock is awesome. Load and Reload are AMAZING records too imo.
It's because fans are usually stupid fucking idiots who have no fucking clue how music is really made.
The Black Album is not really a favorite of mine as I prefer everything before it, but in terms of sound it's better than any album they ever did. The production quality is outstanding. Better than Ride, or Master, and a fuck ton better than the shit quality of And Justice, even though it's got amazing songs.
Bob Rock is a legend. The fact that Lars and James keep name dropping him in regards to how important he was is their way of telling their fans to fuck off without actually saying it. Unfortunately Metallica fans are mostly a bunch of fucking babies who paint the band into a corner of expectations that they aren't allowed to deviate from.
In short, Metallica fans are the least "Metal" people around.
@@doublestrokeroll Right? people act like Bob Rock made James put on a dress and write The Unforgiven or Nothing Else Matters. Bob just perfected the material he was delivered, and ballads or not, that album is a sonic juggernaut.
@@doublestrokeroll Great comment. You said it perfectly.
@@flinto2002 Exactly. He didn't write the material. Metallica wanted to go in that direction. He's a producer.
"Cut to the chase and fucking play ok..."
- Bob Rock
🤘
"I was just a 13 year old kid wanting to own a Gibson guitar and now Gibson made me a guitar."
That had a lot of weight to it. He's had a great 40 year career and I enjoyed listening to his story. Thanks Bob for sitting down and giving us that.
Bob Rock was why I got into production and engineering.
My highschool year book, I wrote "I wanna be the next Bob Rock" because of what he did for Motley and Metallica.......
@@Jermusicislife84 Awesome. When I was in High School, they called me Lil Vai, so I was going the guitar route. Then grunge hit just as I graduated.
@@frankpaws Well, at least you were more than Qualified
What a grounded, real, honest and humble guy....
I saw Bob in the film Some Kind of Monster and came away thinking he was the only grown-up in that whole project. I looked over at my wife and said "I really like this guy." Such a great person.
Agreed. I loved him in that doc
Dr. Feelgood & Black Album are two of the best produced albums EVER. Even still.
Motley crue 94...
Ahahhahahahahahahhahha
That's so right!
@@jasonl1942 YES! The drums were obviously standout but every other instrument and the vocals were 10/10. Amazing and overlooked masterpiece.
The production sounds absolutely massive, you’re right
The coolest thing Bob Rock ever did? At a time that he was still arguably the biggest rock and roll producer in the world about 15 years ago - when his fee and points on sales would be in the high six figures - he had a few weeks off and he offered to produce a record for Canada's most famous punk band DOA. Between 79-82 Bob had worked with most of the big punk acts in Vancouver but he had never gotten DOA in the studio then. So he offered to do a record for them decades later and didn't charge them his producer's fee purely because he wanted to have a DOA record under his belt.
nice
Goes to show his genuine love and passion for the music.
He used to hangout at the Mabuhey in SF . He was always a nice guy and Canadian polite. The rockers would hang at the Stone across the street but he could usually be found at the Mab...As well as Buth Vig and Jack Endino
53:09 That is a perfect example of why Bob Rock is such a gift to the music industry. It's not just a job for him, it's a true passion. :)
BOB ROCK!!!!! THE REASON THE BLACK ALBUM WAS ICONIC!!!!!!
and castrated Kirk Hammett on St. Anger. pure genius
He was arrogant but with a purpose. He was reason why they stayed together...
I'd have to argue that James, Kirk, Lars and Jason are the reason Black Album is iconic.
well part of
😆😆😆😆😆
We need a lot more of this Gibson ! Well done.
From Whitenake to the black album this guy created the sound of my teenage years. Thanks for this Bob!
Can we have more of these..I love the Icon series
More coming this year!
"Why is everything in E?"
"Its the lowest note"
Lmfao
Did you ever try detuning??
"No..."
I guess they could never play a sabbath song right before that moment lol. This is too funny
The Thing That Should Not Be tho.
@@shlomoshekelwitz7690 , was about to say it. That is a whole step down tuning too
Minute?
Bob Rock is rock's history. His name is embedded in some of the best sounding rock and metal records of all time.
His SOUND is embedded in some of the best rock and metal albums of the latter half of the 20th Century.
Don't you mean some of the cheesiest awful commercial trash ever recorded. He is worse than Mutt Lange.
@@Qwerty-ks8dn bull shit no one can come close to him about produce and create a sound like he did back when no internet and pro tools so dont come here to repeat all the shit that you just read from morons on the internet
@@Qwerty-ks8dn You are a moron.
@@charlesrocks You are correct Sir.
He sounds so humble and so very nervous in this.
Love it.
During the Load, Re-Load years he was kinda full of himself. Glad to see time has humbled him into appreciation.
The thought of Bob Rock smiling on stage with Metallica made my day! lol! I love it when people don't take themselves too seriously, especially when around musicians who do.
What a beautiful ending. The gratitude and awe with which Bob looks back on his life is amazing. How many people can honestly do that? Truly inspirational.
What I loved the most about this video was Bob Rocks humility, its a distinctly Canadian attribute
As a Hardcore Metallica fan? I stuck with Metallica since as a late bloomer to Metallica in '89 when I first saw them live at age 12yrs and only knew "ONE" song which was "One". Changed my life, I was true to Metallica through Load and Re-Load to now here in 2020. I just wanna say Thank You Bob Rock. You still are part of my life, I still and will forever listen to all your production work from The Cult to Motley to Metallica. You will always be the 5th member of Metallica to me. Bob F'n Rock!!!!
Surprised at how incredibly humble he is given his immense success as one of the top rock producers of all time.
This guy knows good tone. He knows how to capture sound.
I agree. I loved the sound of the Black Album....
@@mattyc.9332 That was the best sounding Metallica album
This guy did nothing, except black album. All others his "work" is shit. St. Anger, the Offspring!!! How after black album Metallica record too bassing load/reload and dirty st anger?? How about the offspring americana, and album with bob rock?
Phenomenal interview. Beautifully shot and produced. Thank you Bob for your captivating presence and stories. And Producers, THANK you for letting Bob finish all of his thoughts and stories without interrupting. Brilliant on all levels.
His work was the soundtrack to my life! The guy just knows music and knew what radio needed at the right time. Record companies owe him!!
What a class act. How much I have enjoyed this conversation.A life devoted to music and sound.
This is by far the best Gibson TV video and Bob Rock interview I've ever seen! Thank you! Bob Rock, thanks for the amazing work you did with Metallica, Bon Jovi and Motley Cru!
One of the most talented guys out there. I love what he did for the Black Album and how he was there for Tallica in their time of need
Very inspiring⚡️I’m going to get back into it again. Thanks for the upload
The Bell brass on the Black Album is still the best sounding snare I have ever heard. Possibly the kickdrum as well.....Iconic.
Behind the greatest albums of all time, is a producer...he's not there to be nice, and bring you a cup of tea, stroke your ego...He's there to kick your ass and bring out the best of you...Thank you Mr. Rock!
Production is over rated. If the song is good, production is not so important.
Dumbest and most clueless reply that I have ever laid my eyes on’......
@@gogigogic1936 you really think metallica's black album was that enjoyable if someone else produced it? Soundically that's one of the best sounding productions you'll hear even to this day. Plus being a rock and metal producer is a lot harder than what those dumb ass beat makers with pads and key controllers make these days. This man also produced metallica's load and reload, since than everything has changed wih their sound because the replaced a producer, and now they sound like shit
Love Mick Mars’s big guitar tone on Dr Feelgood.. thanks to this guy! Makes everything sound so good!🤘🏻
What an incredibly talented, humble dude. Fantastic. Bob is fantastic.
Bob I just want to say thank you for your dedication to music and bringing the best out of people to help bring this world some of the best music. You will forever be a legend in music and deserve to be a hall of famer.
Had the chance to interview Bob around 2004. A remarkably nice man with ZERO ego. So refreshing.
Where can I watch that interview?
Would LOVE to see a video with Bob and James, just chatting about their history, good times, bad times, fun times....just life!!!!
Really excellent video guys. Way to go Gibson! Its nice to see a fellow Canadian do well. "Nobody wants to hire me again" is a Canadian trait that kept him feeling grateful and provided him with the open mind he needed to succeed, at least that is my take.
Great interview. So many parallels in music influences. A real legend of Rock music.
I met Bob during his early Payola days. I was a carpenter and we were bullshitting about the construction business. I mentioned that l was sure that his construction days were over. I got that one right. He was such a nice guy.
We love The Payolas!
Indeed....what a small world. Nevertheless, very cool story!
What an amazing career! Thank you Bob, for being a part of so much great music and the soundtrack of my life! 🤘🇨🇦🎸😀
Bob: "Why is it all in E?"
James: *"It's the lowest note!"*
😂😂😂🤘🤘🤘
that impression was so spot on too 😂😂
Bob Rock is a great musical icon ,his contributions to Rock music is incredible. He’s up there with Mutt Lang
Eddie Kramer,and Andy Johns producing some of the greatest rock albums of all time .But unlike the aforementioned Bob is a great musician in his own right ,which I think gives him insight to the artists he works with .And he seems like a pretty cool cat 😎.Id love to sit hear some of his stories !!
Thx Bob for all the awesome music !!
I would argue he sounds a bit more dated than the others with his bombastic 80s drum sounds :)
Bob Rock: Just detune your low E in D
James Hetfiled: Wow this guy is a fucking genius!
except James had already done that 5 years earlier on “The thing that should not be”
lol
@@coldacre Tru dat. Some bad guitar tabs say it's s in drop D but quite clearly it isn't. Maybe he forgot about that.
@@coldacre its in c sharp bud
@@larklark2472 no it ain’t. the song is actually in the key E. the first note Hetfield sings is an E, the song resolves in the the key of E.
47:57
Bob: I noticed that every song was an E... Why is everything an E?
James: It's the lowest note lol
"In" E, as in the key of E.
Wasnt true tho ,they had downtuned before
@@NintenDub exactly
Bravo to Gibson TV for producing these very interesting and detailed, series on so many great people in the music business. Well done!
Thank you! I can’t believe how good this series is!
Man, i totally enjoy every moment of the whole hour without skipping a second. Luv that mate ✌ thnx gibson
These icons videos are really special, I've watched two now and they're just excellent, who knew Bob Rock was such a great dude in his own right?,thanks for that🍻
I’ve always liked Bob Rock. Seems a real genuine guy.
Great to hear Bob's history. Thanks for this, always wanted to meet him.
First the Gibson Icon is an awesome series. What I like best is that I don’t hear the interviewer you just hear the person being interviewed talking almost as if it’s just one conscious stream of thought how eloquent, how brilliant how insightful. And Bob Rock Thank You for sharing and I’m glad that somebody had the idea that you had something to say because some of us wanted to know !
I’ve seen Bob on so many docs when he was in his prime, i forgot he actually gets older. What a career he has had. Seems like a true gentleman as well.
"I was too loud for James Hetfield" .....classic
@lhavenothingtosay Well, if there's anyone who should be allowed to have an ego is James Hetfield. He is a genius songwriter.
lhavenothingtosay why do people persist in making digs at him? Do grow up.
@@poshdan1988 jealousy
Gibson has become the most forward thinking guitar company on the planet. Their interaction with fans and players through things like Gibson TV are awesome!
More great content coming soon! Thanks for your support!
Fascinating, humble and brilliant!
What a humble guy. Keep on rocking Bob. Great that he acknowledged his missus, it’s like he won the lottery of life and is still so stoked and grateful for everything he’s doing. Well played sir... well played...
Bob is an absolute legend. People unduly give him shit for the change in Metallica's music, but all he did was help them make the very best out of the songs they wrote. The black album is still the best sounding metal record, and I don't think that will ever change.
Agree, they who blamed him for softening Metallica's sound should realize that was the 90s when Grunge started to dominate and the 80s bands were getting decrepit, he needed to get Metallica to a different direction to keep them going, or else Metallica wouldn't be so big in the 90s and so on if they kept sounded like Master of Puppets (don't get me wrong, that is still their best), but the 90s kids wouldn't understand that during that time. Black album, Load and Reload are still good, just not Thrash Metal, that's all.
Honestly I think Metallica did all them to themselves...they did the whole thrash thing and had the long hair for almost a decade and I just think they decided to change things up and like u said the 90's were coming and things were changing and they made basically 4 albums that were the hard thrash metal thing (my favorite albums) but I don't think nobody made them do anything that they didn't ultimately decided themselves
**OUTSTANDING INTERVIEW with an OUTSTANDING HUMAN BEING**
Thank you Gibson... Really fascinating hour. Appreciate that the interviewer is not the focus, but the conversation. Almost feels like we could be asking....
The Black Album sounds like a stadium sized behemoth. Love the thrash albums but the drums finally got thundering impact on the black album.
Bob Rock wasn't the reason of Metallica softening their sound, it was their desire to get away from the riff heavy, underground sound of "And Justice For All" and have a more commercial sound. Such a down to earth and humble guy. And by the way, how could you not love "The Unforgiven", "Nothing Else Matters", "Devil's Dance" and "Fuel"?
@@crs3598 There's really no point arguing a subjective opinion
Just Mihai Well said boss. I think if fucking GibsonTV, THE Gibson TH-cam page likes your comment, you have no valid argument, WHATSOEVER, against said comment.
No, they weren't softening anything or going for a more commercial sound. Where did you get that info???? I don't recall reading that or watching that at the time. I followed them since the Ride album and stopped when Load came out. I believe it's on the Making of the Black album Bob is that one that talks about being more melodic and less riffs and changes not the band.
@@sunnibird Damaged Justice tour. They play And Justice for All the song after said performance they are never playing that song again. Birth of the Black Album.
BTW I'm the one who wrote the Original comment with a alt account.
@@sunnibird And also these claims are from a interview.
This was the best hour spent on youtube in a long time. Great job!
Bob Rock is a legend. Amazing to hear his story.
Loved this vid on Bob Rock, what an interesting guy and what a great career he's had, he's produced some of my favourite albums and he said some lovely things to say about my favourite ever guitar player Mick Ronson, thanks for posting this :)
Thank you 🎸 #GibsonTv 🎸 for such awesome content like this. Yall are Icons for putting together videos of these legends 🎸
My favorite ICONS segment. Love to hear more from folks like these that worked with so many different bands.
Just an incredible interview, I couldn't stop watching it
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Fascinating interview..For every one Bob Rock there are thousands who followed the same path and didn't find much success, myself included..its destiny and free will doesn't exist.
Love interviews like this. Please keep them coming. Could watch this all day
More episodes coming soon! Thanks for watching.
Great discussion! Love his memories, insight, and advice. He’s a fantastic producer, one whose influence is far reaching within the heavy rock circle.
Thanks Gibson!
Thank you for watching
And let’s not forget , he also gave Motley Crue a more mature and heavier sound.
The production on that record even impressed Lars and James.
Thank you for this. Despite being responsible for the greatest-sounding rock and metal albums of all time, Bob is still so kind, down-to-earth, and generous with his considerable knowledge. I had the honor of hanging out with him for a couple days in the studio, and not only did I learn a TON just from observing, but the thing that really shone through was how much he just LOVES music. He's still that same kid that got so excited about the opening to "All Right Now"--he's never stopped chasing that thrill. He could have retired years ago, but is still making fantastic records in all styles because he just loves doing it. Sometimes unfairly maligned by knuckledraggers who blame producers because they don't understand that the band members write the songs, I'm happy to see him get such a wonderful, longform platform here. Thank you, GibsonTV.
Thanks for watching!
Very insightful interview. I only knew of Bob rock because of Metallica. It’s cool to see his history. He seems like a humble and appreciative person.
He explained the mystery why the Les Paul 59 Greenie is a special guitar.
I really enjoyed watching this interview. Thanks!🎶
God bless ya Bob , from one Canadian to another. Thanks for all the great albums.
Bob Rock makes me proud to be a Canadian rocker!
This was such a relatable video. Thanks so much, Bob for sharing!
Again, another great episode! Great job Mark and co! 🤘🏻
Thank you Bob Rock for all that you have done!
I loved this documentary.....
very interesting life you have lived thus far.
Bob Rock just loves music as much as we all do. He loves making it, producing it, being around it everything..
