"We don't have time to count!"
- one of the guitarists tired of hearing me nag him about counting us into a song in which everyone starts on the downbeat.

The other guitar player in band couldn’t play a riff the same way. EVER!! His answer was “I wrote the song its all about feel not playing it the same way”. Our response was. Ok, but how are we supposed to play it if you are the only one changing? We fired him

Oh shit. I didn't revise them at all. I might have changed a couple of words around to make it flow better, but the rest is the same mayne.
About that website, did you catch my email about angelfire and 50megs.com? I ain't forgot.
I got ideas about that site runnin' around in my dome, just need to visualize it all put together.

Two years ago I recorded a band whose member left my front door open while moving their equipment into my house for my cat to get out. When confronted about this he said, and I quote, "We don't have to record here, ya know!"
My cat somehow survived exactly one month in the prime of winter with no claws and no food. It actually snowed the day after it got out.

I just read the online portion of the Mixerman Diaries - they are great. I ordered two copies of the book. One, so I could get the rest of the story and the second as a gift for a friend.
Great reading......

I've heard some theories, but nothing definite.Ballgame said:
Yeah, Dumbass. At first they called him Cotton ("He's dumber than cotton!").

Ooh I would have been pissed. I'm assuming your cat came back and lives now right?

i personally like it when they say "take me back to the 2nd bridge so i can redo the solo"
I AM NOT IN YOUR BAND. I DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR 2ND BRIDGE IS.

I had a session last night and after tracking and during mixing the artist said,
Him, can you bring the bass up a little?
Me, no, its right where it should be, you dont understand how there monitors translate.
Him, still doesent sound right to me,
Me, Ok, pay for two CD's and Ill burn it my way and then Ill re EQ the low end to your taste and then we will take it out to your car and listen.
Him, OK
Well he paid for the CD's and when we went to his car I told him to play my version first, he said why and I told him his version was going to bust one of his woofers. He listened to my version and said "that is what I was looking for" and then he played his version and it took out one of his 10" subs.
Moral of the story, If you dont mix or own REAL studio monitors, dont try to act like you know what the low end is suspose to sound like!!!!It can be costly..

Band sits in the middle of the $85 per hour studio and says "what song do you guys want to do?"
"Doesn't the studio have a guitar strap I can borrow"
"crap I broke a string, doesn't the studio have a string I can borrow, I play boomers"
"crap I don't have any picks"
"my guitar is broken can we just mic it?" - Fender Strat Copy
"I would like to add piano in that part tommorow" I say "ok I will get it ready for when you come in" Tommorow comes I have the piano tuned and mic'd "none of us know how to play piano"...dundahda.
"we would like to not have that guy in the song, can you just leave him out of the mix" Then the guy heres the playback "I can't hear myself" Now I am in the middle of a band fight, and stairing at the cieling for an hour while they figure it out.
3 piece band "our drummer couldn't make it, can we begin tracking the album without him, and just punch him in later?"
"needs more cowbell" - joking sat night live.

That's why I always have them bring typed lyric sheets for me. I'll then put markers at every change in Vegas.StarvingEyes said:
