If you don’t know who Bradley Cook is, he is an engineer who’s worked with countless amazing artists, including Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Counting Crows, Isaac Hayes, Ben Harper, Fishbone, and Everclear. He calls Barefoot Recording a home away from home, having worked there on and off since the studio’s renovation and rebranding in 2000.
Bradley assisted Eric Valentine on projects over the years, while also venturing off on major projects of his own at various studios-notably Grandmaster Recorders, which was unfortunately sold for redevelopment nearly two years ago.Bradley brings 30 years’ experience as an audio engineer to the table, and his résumé speaks for itself!

Hi Friends! In this video we discuss the Foo Fighters song “Everlong” with, Bradley Cook, the man who recorded it! Who better to get some insight into the song than him? Everlong was one of the biggest songs of the ’90s! It’s a staple of indie rock and an absolute classic! - Thanks Bradley! He’s going to “spill all the beans!”. We were lucky to be able to have some of the elements to listen to during our chat, this is very very exciting!
Thank you Bradley and Warren! It was great seeing his reaction re-hearing the stems for the first time. I hope Warren gets you back to hear more from your work, specifically RATED R and CORAL FANG (2 albums of my youth). Even without the stems- I'd just love some stories.
Thanks ever so much@@acarlovonsexron1994! Thanks very kind of you! Yes, indeed what a wonderful idea!!
Lovely video, its always a treat to hear elements of songs and to hear the stories of how they were recorded from someone who was actually there! Amazing how Bradley considers it a 'play it safe' recording and perhaps just illustrates how important the song and arrangement and musicianship really are to a track. Great stuff!
Hi@@royglennie, thanks ever so much my friend!! Yes, Bradley gave away some amazing gems in this video!
Hi Warren, is there any way to find out how drums were recorded in regards to mic placement? My main reason for that question is not much leakage in top snare and hh mics. Were they separated by any sort of foam or board, etc? Was hh set up as far from the snare as possible? We know that Dave is a loud drummer, but maybe he recorded that particular song with extreme dynamics keeping hh pretty soft and smashing that snare? :) That's how I often record drums. Hope you're good and thank you for an amazing lessons and priceless information.
I swear to hell - recording female backing vocals over the phone is the most grunge story ever
Haha I have to agree!
And it sounds incredible! The song wouldn’t be the same without it. That and the drum playing are what make the song so great
Grunge was a made up word by the media. It was punk rock 100%
Wow. Female backing vocals over the phone blew my mind 😀😀
OMG, I knooow! right?! too too much fun
Matt Guitar I know! What an amazing story!!!
Sean Fullerton incredible!!
This was probably my favorite thing to learn. Definitely something I want to try someday
That's great to hear vutal!!
records harmonies over the phone "ya i didn't do anything real interesting"
Cody Kramer haha I know!! Funny! Truly Amazing!!
My favourite telephone recording is by H.R. from Bad Brains. I would imagine that Dave would have been inspired somehow by them.
In 1986 H.R. was arrested and convicted on marijuana distributions charges. Rather than scrap the album or wait until H.R.’s release from prison, the band kept the recording sessions in Massachusetts going at the encouragement of producer Ron Saint Germain. H.R. provided the vocals for the song “Sacred Love” over the phone from Lorton Reformatory in Laurel Hill, Virginia. H.R. unscrewed the mouthpiece of the telephone so that there could be no background noise and sang into it.
@@DJRY360 holy shit, why haven't i known about this haha that's awesome. Bad Brains was a big inspiration on Dave for his drumming style
Ya, holy fuck that sounded awesome.
@@DJRY360well isnt that cool as shit. wonder what recording thru tin cans on string with a mic at one end would sound like lol
Rick Beato had soloed out the Louise Post vocal in his What Makes This Song Great video about "Everlong", but learning it was recorded over the phone was the mind-blower of the whole discussion.
Hi Dirk, wow! That's very cool! Yes, it's wonderful to have the guy who recorded the song give us this insight!
ES UN MONTON
LOVE RICK! This is my first introduction to Warren. Recommended, I did a search. Glad I did! Outstanding! ❤
I've been wondering all my life what the hell Dave was talking about in that whispering section. Thank you!
Haha I hear you!!
All your life you've been searching for something?
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but you're getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope?
Me too!
It's like peeking behind the curtain! Got chills listening to that sample clean for the first time. Thanks for making this happen.
I watched an interview 10+ years ago that the book he was reading was the manual for the Neve Console!
Man those vocal harmonies might be the most important thing in the track. They really give it that bittersweet quality.
Fantastic! I agree, they are hidden gems!!
I have to say, hearing that Pat Smear used Kurt's live guitar rig to record his guitars on The Colour... is very special. 🙏
Yes, wonderful
listening back to the stems, warren looks like a kid who's found the christmas presents his folks were hiding, while we can see bradley crunched over the board, miles away in his head, literally reliving the moments he's hearing. classic.
That is exactly what was happening!!
Thanks@REX! You are correct!
REX thanks ever so much!!
This is great! More "Inside the Song" videos please!!
Mike Dr aw shucks thanks ever so much my friend!!
Yes, I agree it's fantastic to hear 'bits' of a familiar song and the story of how it came together!
@@royglennie thanks ever so much!
wow, I don't know when the 26 minutes went. I have shittiest day ever today and this video made me forgot all about that. What a content, felt blessed that I got into engineering, so soulful. You are top man Warren.
Thanks ever so much Michal! Sorry to hear about your day!!
same dude. its 3 in the morning, and i finally took my guitar out to play and chill with, while i watch this video
It’s like a cop interrogating a suspect over a crime committed 20 years ago.
I love it !
Hahahaha Thanks!!
you mean Courtney?
If I met a producer of any of my favourite songs I think I'd interrogate them like a cop too!
Cold case, old tricks
I’m on the edge of tears hearing all of the intricacies of this monumental song that means so much to me. I’ll never hear it the same way again. Thank you.
Thanks ever so much!
totally with you on the edge of tears! haha
Same here. Had a similar reaction when Rick Beato did his video on this song.
@@maniotero3895 Had the same reaction to both this video and Rick's video, deeply enriched a song that quite literally saved my life.
@@EricGPLAP thanks ever so much!
An interview in the studio with Butch Vig would be awesome!
I agree 100%!!
Yesss
Check out the Classic Albums on Nirvanas Nevermind. Butch does the same thing, breaks down ever song the same way. So cool
🙏🙏 hopefully Nevermind or 21st century breakdown- that’s one of Green Day’s best albums
Rick Beato interviewed Butch Vig on mostly Nevermind and Siamese Dream recently.
Everlong is probably my favourite song of all time. But I never knew about the women's vocals! Its gonna change the way I will listen to song from now on...
Thanks ever so much! I’m glad to be able to help point that out!
Same. My favorite song ever and i know ive heard it hundreds of times. I knew she was credited on it but i could never pick out where. That blew my mind
After hearing Louise's vocals...you listen to this song differently. It was brilliant!
That's wonderful
It's almost like Brad blew his own mind by listening back to those stems! What an awesome engineer!!
Agreed JJ! Brad is such a great guy and an amazing talent!!
Ya JJ, I was trippin'. I hadn't heard it like that for a looong time.
@@bradleycook5747 magical
@@bradleycook5747 amazing! thanks ever so much!
@@themilksnatcher agreed 100%!
That female vocal is absolutely brilliant.
David Poser I agree! Amazing!!
That's Louise Post from the band Veruca Salt. Her and Dave were apparently a thing for a while back then. She also worked with Dave when he wrote the entire score for the film Touch with Jack Black in a semi-serious role. Often overlooked, underrated movie...
hahaha That smile Bradley made when you got to the drums! He's like, "Damn I recorded that? That sounds friggin good."
You can see him trying to listen for things he wouldn't want there and not finding much, that look is priceless. Thanks for that moment Warren! xD
To finally know the story behind the whisper track and then the female vocal thats tucked low!... wow my eyes teared up to this
Eric Gonzalez thanks ever so much!
Whisper part: "So, Dad would take the Sundays off.
And that's the only time he could ever get any rest.
And so, because we were loud on Sundays, he'd make us hold his construction boots over our head, 'til we'd sleep.
And they were really heavy boots and I used to say, "Dad, come on, please."
And like start crying, 'cause they're too heavy."
You still hear it 5-6 times a day on KROQ in Los Angeles
Haha yes, indeed!!
I don't know anything about production, so pretty much it all sounds like "so what did you use? 437? 24? 7312".. "no I think we went with an 853b"
But I love hearing all the little subtle details I missed. More creativity to this part of it than I ever realized.
WHEN YOU HEAR DOUBLE VOCALS ON A SINGER WHO CAN ACTUALLY SING ITS SO HEAVENLY AND WHEN YOU ADD IN THE FEMALE BACKING VOCAL IT SO AMAZING
At 22.20... that is the dopamine hitting the sweet spot from a past memory and it is so amazing to witness.. not just an a lifelong student of music, or a a pro engineer myself. But as a human.. this was awesome
Great comment. Yeah this part of the song gives me goosebumps if I'm listening intently to it
Best FF song ever. One of the best songs ever created.
Wow! Agreed, wonderful!
2nd best. After my hero
I love how he's so chill, he's probably listened to different mix elements a thousand times, and Warren is totally fanboy-ing out like the rest of us would.
Hi Logan, agreed Brad rules!! I AM a complete fanboy! You guessed it!! Haha
The studio is looking alarmingly tidy! Great interview and video. Lots to learn from this :)
Haha thanks Michael!! You Rock!!
Michael, l learned a lot from you too
Amazing to hear each element, what a song
Thanks ever so much
Can we have "Inside the song: Audioslave - Cochise"
I cant find anywhere about audioslave being in the studio and with Chris Cornell gone, it would be an absolute pleasure to see how that anthem was recorded.
Thanks ever so much! Marvellous idea!
Yes! Velvet Revolver would be a good one too
Bradley gave me my first credit on a God Awfuls record he was mixing at Bay 7 studios (now Megawatt Recording). This guy is as cool as they come. I was a runner, and after my shift would end, I would ask to sit in. Always was allowed to watch and learn. Solid guy!
Hi Fernando! Wow! That's wonderful to hear!!
Hi Fernando!!
Hi Bradley Cook!!
This is something I've always wanted to do. I tried the school thing, but unfortunately they don't teach you the practicalities of audio engineering. Sadly, there is nowhere good to learn here in Albuquerque.
Coolest thing about this to me is seeing Brad's reactions. He goes from being like "eh I probably used this or this mic", but once he hears that solo'd kick it takes him back to the moment. Especially so when you solo'd the room. Makes me wanna get back to a studio ASAP.
20:33 this story is awesome! Assistant engineer Ryan Boesch is a good friend of mine, and owns his own studio now in Tampa called Candor Recording.
He produced, mixed and mastered my band’s (The Pilot Waves) debut record ‘AION’.
But along with ‘The Colour and the Shape’ there are many classics on his walls. Great to hear these stories, and an awesome full-circle music moment for me, getting to work with someone who was intimately involved in making this record. A record I played incessantly on repeat in high school, teaching myself guitar and drums to.
If you’re a musician in the Tampa Bay Area, I 100% recommend going to Candor and working with Ryan for an awesome recording experience with a true professional that knows how to make a record 🤘🤘
This is the song that pretty much cemented Dave Grohl's solo career post-Nirvana. Brilliant stuff.
Thanks ever so much!!
Me too!! Yes!!! I felt exactly the same!!
Love hearing the soloed tracks- really shows how the pieces fit together...
vic manzanita Thanks ever so much my friend!
“I would never do that now” He kept saying that...but he recorded one of the greatest rock songs of all time like that. It might work out for him again some time 🤷🏼♂️
If he wants to come back and talk about the whole record for an entire day, let us know. I'll watch that.
Thanks! Yes, me too
Warren, I love everything you do! But, this is by far my favorite ever.... Breaking it down with the stems, with the engineer!! Are you freaking kidding me??!!! YES! More of this please! Thank you!
Wow!! That's so cool my friend!! I'm so glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
The looks on his face as he was reliving those recordings was priceless! Great video, Thanks guys!
nibrochcd I know! It was amazing!!
Holy shit!! His first 3 artists were fucking incredible jobs to land. What a legend
amazing \m/ loved hearing the subtle tracks which boosted the song so well
More videos like this if possible please. VH1 Classic Albums was the greatest show ever on Television.
Thanks ever so much Rick!! I loved doing this song breakdown with Brad! He Rocks!!
Awesome interview and break down of the song!! I remember listening to the song in art class when I was a senior in high school in 1997.. Boy that brings back memories!
I’ve listened to this song hundreds of times, and hearing the isolated tracks was like listening to one of my favorite songs for the first time... so many moving parts that I had no idea about, and the professional skill and musicianship that is happening throughout the song is incredible!
Somebody tidied up the studio. Must have happened after Warren noticed his patch bay. Enjoyed it. Thanks, Warren!
Ron H haha yes, the guys cleaned up! Hahah
Wow! I can't thank you enough for this. One of my favourite albums of all time and sometimes my absolute favourite song. This is truly eye opening.
JoyBoy thanks ever so much my friend!!
I love all your videos this is one of the best I have seen takes me back to stuff I loved to do in sound school in 1999 ! Thank you man
I love how proud he is of his work. You can see the look on his face as he's listening to the drums and talking about this how pleased he is that he did this. This is absolute gold! Thank you for doing this. One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands
Love this video and format! There were sounds on this track that I never even knew I was hearing the whole time
I still can't believe they recorded the female vocal through a phone. Please do more like these. Would love to get the tracks to listen to
Hi Paul, definitely!! I'm so glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
One of my favorite songs from childhood, knowing how it was made makes me cherish it even more. (That telephone-female chorus broght a youthful smile in my face❤)
3:00 "no protools.. all on tape" Awesome!
Indeed
Wow, what a start to his career, Ben Harper, Counting Crows and Foo Fighters. Amazing! And of course that record sounds great, something to be said for keeping it simple. :) Thank you Warren, Thanks Bradley!
I agree 100% David!! Such a humble guy and an amazing talent!!
Wow... love this. You can literally see Bradley Cook start to recall his memory of this iconic session! The female on the telephone part reminds me of something that Sylvia Massey would do....and the "Dave telling the story" vocal is fricken awesome. I must have heard this song a million times and would never have known if not for this video. Really love these videos...
My Son was little and we would get a burger n sit in my car listening to this kinda thing. Good times!
Fascinating video! You give us such great material. Thank you!
A top 10er of mine for life.
Still on my list of.....' if you could only listen to ten albums for the rest of your life" .....albums....
Awesome!! One of my favorite songs to sing right now!
Darryl Green Music agreed 100%!
I love this song but time passing, I know this is my favorite song ever. Being able to hear everything that clear is a pure gift to me. Thank you
I just love this song even more now! What a staple in music it really is. Absolutely beautiful!
thank you for doin this, very very good stuff!
To hear those backing vocals was amazing- and find out it was Louise Post from Veruca Salt!?! Incredible! Thanks for sharing this Warren!!
Hi Johnny!! Thanks! Yes, amazing!!
well the song is about Louise so why not have her on it.. ha ha
Ohhh man...came back to your channel after a few months and found this. Mind BLOWN! FF is one of my fav bands and just getting to hear the story on how Everlong was recorded, it's amazing. To see Bradle's face whenever you pulled a stem up was priceless. Thanks for this and keep on rocking.
Totally blown away and in awe of this. This would fall into the category one of the most precious videos ever on youtube. Such amazing perspective for fans of the band and music in general.
Im really digging these "Inside the song" videos. Great job Warren.
Thanks ever so much Chuck!!
man i wish this was a hour long....loved it.... was very surprised how text book most of it was ...guess it is all in the hands lol
thanks very much guys
I remember when you asked about the guitar setup on the last video, I responded and it looks like I kinda nailed it even though I was guessing. Never would have guessed Pat would be going through KURT's rig, though.
@@acarlovonsexron1994 yeah really enjoyed these....makes me re think my methods lol
Thanks ever so much Kip! I really appreciate your kind words!!
Hi Carlo, yes, that was amazing information!!
I know, I was almost embarrassed to admit I used 421s on the toms. And surprised to hear how good they sounded..
What a really modest, lovely guy. Watching his face light up listening to those stems was a joy.
As someone who changed degrees away from music tech, it was super fun to watch this and reminisce about sitting in studios. Loved it!
Having Dave there with you guys would have been amazing...! Thank you for all of these incredible contents: THANK YOU!
Guess they took the telephone effect literally, haha. Genius!
Samuel Ellringmann haha exactly my friend!
Wow! One of my favorite songs ever and now I can hear how it was made! Awesome! Thank you Warren
Really fascinating insight into a classic track. Loved seeing Bradley's reactions when listening back to the recordings - a mix of nostalgic recollection and immense pride in his work. Look forward to hopefully seeing more of these type of videos.
Thank you Bradley and Warren...my favorite interview! Do you remember the signal chain for the snare, it seems compressed with a bit of gate ? Or is it just tape compression and a damped snare with a tea towel? Did Dave used to play with the butt of the sticks? Many thanks!!
"Go check out the track."
As if there's a single person watching this who hasn't heard Everlong hundreds of times and, because of the nature of this video, listened critically to the arrangement/mix.
This video is awesome, thankyou.
Philip Brodermann there are always young kids learning an instrument or learning how to record while looking for great music from the past. I wish UA-cam had videos like this when I was a young lad
I like Foo Fighters but never heard of this track (they're not popular in Germany)
Warren and Bradley - THANK YOU for sharing insights on this classic tune!! So inspiring. Louise’s major 2nd harmony brings a tear to my eye. Always nice to find a high profile guy like Bradley to be so cool and humble. So great, guys!! 🙏🏻
When you started isolating the drums and Bradley got really animated, it really made my day. Thanks for making this video.
Watching right now! So excited for this, one of my favorite rock jams of all time, everything about it sounds incredible! Thanks Warren!
Thanks ever so much James!! You Rock!!
A bit late to the game. Just watched your interview with Lenise Bent. It really resonated with me when she said, "I want goosebumps. I want tears in my eyes". As a middle-aged man, I'm not ashamed to say that a song doesn't have to be sad to make me cry. That record and this video give me those things. Thank you so much for all you do, Warren.
Wow! Thanks ever so much my friend for saying that! Music brings me to tears ALL the time!!
This is inspiring, educational and entertaining. Plus, it has amazing historical value. This videos are gems, Mr. Warren. Thanks for doing this. I'm sure videos like these are not easy to put together.
One of my favourite songs. Great insight!
Loving the phone vocal...insane.
I can't wait to watch this! - GOING ON LUNCH! haha
Thanks!! I'm so glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
That was so awesome...such an amazing song and that guitar part....wow..
His reactions to hearing those parts again was the best..
You were like a kid in a lollie shop warren....just as i woukd have been..thanx so much..
This is truly incredible to hear. A song that defined an era, definitely one of the best modern rock songs of all time. Its amazing to hear the magic that made the record, vocals through the telephone and daves crackling voice telling a story were definitely the magic ingredients.
22:26 The energy from the guitars is insane! 😍🤘🏼🔥
Joakim Kanon yes!! Amazing!
disagree mate, energy is a bass entry at @22:30
This is fun. Especially with expressions on his face hearing some of these clips again!
I know! Truly amazing!!
Awesome video Warren! I loved it! Going to go listen to Everlong now! Lol. Please do more of these kinds of interviews!!
His reactions were so good. Hearing a sound you love just gets you goin.
That was excellent!
I got emotional watching this
That's one of the most emotional video I've seen from you, Warren. "Everlong" mean a lot to me. The part of the girl over the phone it's amazing and remember me why I do music. Thanks a lot!
Awesome stuff. Thanks Warren and Bradley. Love those vocal harmonies, they really give that song a whole different vibe.
Wow! An amazing interview and break down. I've heard the song a million times and never realized there was a girl on it. Cool choice on the Astatic mic.. the drums are suoer tight and awesome sounding. Please do another interview like this withBradley
Thanks ever so much!! I'm so glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren P.S I'll do kore my friend!!
Dude!!! This is soooo sick and informative and entertaining.
I’m digging this. Please continue
JimmyBeSlick aw shucks thanks ever so much my friend!
Spectacular. Thanks Warren and Bradley
One of the early riffs I learned on guitar. Love this Song! It would be interesting to se more of theese :)
Very interesting indeed. Thanks!
You my friend are a true hero. Being able to hear the isolated tracks is INVALUABLE! Cheers to you for sharing this. So much to learn when hearing things individually like this. Great stuff!
Thanks Eric!! You Rock!
Thank you so much for the info! Love every second of it.
I love the guitar tones on this album. Love em!
