In addition to his work with Nirvana, Vig has also produced albums for a diverse range of artists, including Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage, and Foo Fighters. With a career spanning several decades, Vig has established himself as one of the most talented and versatile producers in the industry, renowned for his ability to capture the raw energy and emotion of a recording while also pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the studio.

Need a part 2! I want to hear him talk more about the discography of Garbage! Great interview Rick🙏

KRM Mês atrás

@TheMushTube Oh yeah! What great idea! Who doesn't love Garbage! They're a super band! You are inspired MushTube!

Andreas Landgren Mês atrás

This was so great. First garbage record and 2.0 finishing it of was fun. Thank you!

Neil Murphy Mês atrás

The interviews you're cranking out lately are freaking awesome.

Tom Forys Mês atrás

Mutt Lange interview would be very interesting. Think of all the acts he's produced.

Aaron Couron 2 meses atrás

I feel like Rick has really tapped into something with these long form interviews. Where else can you hear directly from LEGENDS like Butch Vig or Billy Corgan or Sting or Maynard James Keenan or Derek Trucks and hear their stories. Rick asks the questions we would ask and has a comfortable nature that seems to bring out the best stories. I have always enjoyed the Rick Beato content, but these interviews are special. Extremely unique and fascinating content that you cannot get anywhere else. Keep it up Rick!

Eric's Trains 2 meses atrás

Agreed. I also love how these interviews aren't dumbed down for general audiences. It's like two musicians talking shop together…which of course it is.

Design Rhythm 2 meses atrás

He's definitely one of the very best around; never gets in the way and asks just the right amount of questions.

GreenArrow 2 meses atrás

100% agree. I also love how he plays a tune and they both listen, and then they discuss. Watching them listen is the best. And then for me I think, wow, that IS an AMAZING song, I need to go back and listen to it. Rick, these interviews are a gift. Thank you so much.

I love how Butch still talks about the Nirvana guys like they’re still kids just making good music, not as this band that’s gonna live forever. He has a real love for them

Chris Fitzgerald 2 meses atrás

I love hearing Butch in interviews, this by far was one of his best sit downs, great job Rick. Butch belongs in the Rock Hall of Fame.

Everyone has already said it, but I gotta double down. Rick, you are going to go down in history as one of the most important historians of rock music. These interviews are priceless. The questions you ask are so precise and beautiful and brings out so many amazing stories and detail. And of course who better than someone who understands and knows the legacy of all these brilliant instruments, tech, and musicology can be the one to make this happen. Thank you for being awesome and producing this amazing content. And Butch was fascinating to listen to.

Butch is a humble dude and every year (except Covid year) comes back to Madison and does a benefit with local and international musicians for a benefit called Joey's Song. Dude gives back to the community that continues to RESPECT what this man does with music. 23:17 Miking drums. Rock on Butch Vig.

Interesting to think that maybe I may have passed by Butch when I was student there. I went through the humanities building just about every day. I also had a few philosophy classes there. It’s an unusual building. The top floors are suspended high above on big pillars.

One of the coolest things in this interview is where they talk about lining up the next Pumpkins record in the wake of the world changing Nevermind, and how much pressure Butch was under to deliver something equally successful. Normally, there would have been a lot of doubt about anyone being able to pull the same trick again, but in this case the result was an album that was as big, powerful, and successful as it was unique and defining in its own right. Siamese Dream might not have represented the same musical revolution that Nevermind did, but it came as close as anything ever could and was without a doubt one of the most iconic albums of the 90’s.

Aaron Kling 2 meses atrás

Butch Vig is such a humble legend and Rick’s natural curiosity and interview style is so on point. I’m in heaven listening to these two guys geek out on 90’s rock nostalgia.

These interviews are gold 🏆 Recorded at Smart a couple of times in the 80s before the big records happened, back when Tar Babies and Killdozer records were the big things on their wall. Butch and Steve Marker are beautiful dudes and it was pure love in that scruffy studio. What a joy to be there with them. Love those guyz they R total working class heroes 🙏

Italrish 2 meses atrás

I remember hearing cherub rock for the first time driving in my car and couldn't believe the sonic quality of it. I love Garbage and of course the first time hearing Teen Spirit in my brother's car is something I'll never forget. Butch is a true talent.

IdeologyBot Mês atrás

Butch's love for Jimmy's drumming hits me in the feels. I love this, every bit of it.

Edmund Donnelly Mês atrás

Rick has, without a doubt, the most essential channel on BRvid for music fans. Such a treasure trove of interesting stuff.

BradHamptonMusic 2 meses atrás

Hands down one of the best interviews I've watched in my life.. I couldn't stop watching it.. and so many technical details combined with memories of hearing this material on the radio when it was first dominating the airwaves... what a wonderful time where artists/musicians/producers/engineers met with technology to create something so organic and genuine that we don't have in music today

KRM Mês atrás

Same with me bro. I have an intractable migraine from my time in the military. It's 0409 here and I really should try to sleep, but eff it. This is great stuff. Thank you Rick!!!!

Mich Tarragon Mês atrás

I've loved everything Butch has done over the years. Gish and Siamese Dream are amazing records, as is Nevermind. I'm a huge Garbage fan as well. Thank you Butch!

Jason Sangwin 2 meses atrás

rhyspinot Mês atrás

This is incredible, really something special and it really shows how fantastic both Rick and Butch are as human beings. I can't thank you enough Rick for making this happen, the inside baseball on recording both Nirvana and the Pumpkins is priceless. A quick thought on rock being dead, I think of bands like Silversun Pickups especially as a great example of loud rock still being relevant. Cheers all.

Larry H 2 meses atrás

A Legend and so humble. What a wealth of memories and recording genius. Great interview! Thank you Rick!

Michael Luong Mês atrás

Personally speaking, this is the most enjoyable interview you've ever done Rick. Gish, Nevermind, and Siamese Dream are 3 of my most listened to albums ever (I'm just about 40). I've always thought Garbage is a pretty great band. To get this insider view, and to see just how deliberate and down-to-earth Butch freakin' Vig is, has me smiling from ear to ear. I was just captivated by this interview from start to finish. Thank you both.

Louis Caprani 2 meses atrás

He's so humble.Talks about the Nirvana opportunity as a chance to learn. Got to love him.

Dio Dimebag Kilmister 2 meses atrás

Would entirely agree with you, however, I have been looking into some of these AI music creation apps and I got to tell you, it's actually pretty damn good. Now, I don't think it's at the level that we're talking here, you cannot artificially make songs like the one's from Nirvana or the Pumpkins. But we're also just scratching the surface of AI created music. In 5 years, who knows if you could tell the difference between a song made by a human, or an app.

sharpvidtube 2 meses atrás

@Dio Dimebag Kilmister Musicians will use AI as part of the creative process. Can guarantee if the Beatles were starting out now, they would find a way to use it. They loved all the latest technology. Just hope Paul and Ringo don't use AI John and George now, that would sound horrible😂

sasan behnood 2 meses atrás

Rick - this is the most comprehensive (and personal) interview I’ve ever seen with Butch. For all of us lovers of 90s rock, we’ve pieced together little snippets of his interviews here and there, but your interview beautifully fills in the background color and detail - in a way we’ve always hoped to know and see. Masterful interview, and Butch clearly connected with you. Thank you so much for this. Waiting for part 2 someday….

Butch said, “Let’s do this again.” Um, yes please. This was so good. Thank you, Rick. No one is doing interviews like this. I don’t play an instrument, let alone record music, but I loved listening to you two talk about recording equipment and instruments. This and the Billy Corgan interview are my favorites from this channel.

Ouroboros 2 meses atrás

It's amazing what all goes on behind the scenes. Most people wouldn't have a clue about what it takes to make a recording. Of course the digital age has made things easier but the analog days of cut and splicing with tape is a whole different ball game. Personally, the analog tape production like the needle piercing the vinyl sounds more organic and that extra work seems to pay off.

At 28:whatever, when Rick cues up I Am One, to see Butch instantaneously fall into the groove is so cool. Rick's there as well, as are I imagine thousands of us who watched this and found ourselves back at the first listening, and to some extent every listening since then. Music is magic.

Nick Norod Mês atrás

Rick has consistently blown me away with his interviews and song breakdowns. As a former audio engineer and musician I eat this stuff up like Tupelo Honey. It is by far the best thing on BRvid!

Been listening to this interview as time allows, bit by bit, like savoring a good meal. And this was such a full-filling repast! Rick, you interview with such an amazing combination of chilling out yet so excited and enthusiastic about every turn the conversation takes. I always feel your interviews are so laid back and casual, yet in that relaxed atmosphere so many gems of music history and knowledge arise over and over. Looking forward to your next long form interview, and to you and Butch doing it again soon!

Wonderful interview...I could listen to both of you talk for days on end. I still have Garbage's self titled album on regular rotation...one of my top 5 favorite albums of all time.

To be fair, in the last 30 years, people have probably been asking him every day about the Nevermind recording :)

@popkorn Probably true, but I don't think that explains why he seems to remember every piece of equipment he has owned or used since his very first recording session! :)

Robert Muckle 2 meses atrás

@marceror As a 67 year old recording engineer, I too remember most every piece of gear I've used on most everything! If I can make a suitable comparison...for most 'guys', consider how much you remember about each and every car you've owned, and what you did in said cars! It comes down to the LOVE you have, and hence those memories will stay with you forever!

What a brilliant interview. Thank you Rick and thank you Butch. While I know both Pumpkins and Nirvana well, they are nowhere near the centre of my interest yet I've just been enthralled for an hour and three quarters. So - yes please. Do a follow up as soon as there is time!

This has gotta be Rick’s best interview yet! I’m a novice at production but it’s easy to tell that this interview has something to teach producers at every level.

Yep. I'm just a dumb drummer, and even I was fascinated with all the thought that goes into the type of mics, eq, etc. The story of him slicing the tape parallel to only remove half the tracks was next level insanity; I've never heard of someone doing that before.

Rick, you are interviewing all the heroes of my youth. These videos are treasures to me and endlessly fascinating. While my dream of being a rockstar never came to be, that fire in my belly for 90’s rock music (and all kinds of music) has never dwindled. Something about the way these songs, artists, and era can grab your soul is priceless, and you’re bringing a real face to these heroes of mine. I may never get to hang out and chat with any of these folks, but you are doing it for me! Keep it up!

It's a credit to the talent and musicianship of Nirvana and the Smashing Pumpkins that 30 odd years later two music legends are still talking about their songs and breaking them down. Thank you for your hard work, the respect you show your guests and the contribution you make to fans of rock music Rick, it's very much appreciated.
