Warren DeMartini is one slippery sum btch! The total package! Killer custom guitars,searing tone,Ungodly technique,killer phrasing,the look,the stage presence. Warren D is a bona fide Guitar God. Thanks for the past 40 years!
Robbin and especially Warren are so underrated for the lead guitar standards they set for the 80s, Warren is a god for being that determined to get his sound!
Guitarists are a different breed. Whenever I buy an amp, when I plug it in, I invariably feel the amp is shit and that I wasted my money. Then I switch it off and feel pissed. Then I think whoever great played that kind of amp, I change some setting like from 4,0 to 4,1 on the dial and suddenly I feel I have god tone. There is no rhyme or reason to this, it's just something in the mind.
Yeah, Warren D is a great guitarist. Loved his style and work with RATT. One of the best "Hair" bands (music and talent wise) of the 80's. In my opinion of course.
The greatest guitarists came from Southern California through the ‘70s-‘80s, Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, George Lynch, Jake E Lee, Warren DeMartini and they all pushed each other and inspired one another to be extraordinary!
The intro riff to 'Lay it Down', speaking of DeMartini, is probably one of the coolest riffs ever written. If you're an axe slinger you know what I mean.
@@ErikDeMann that’s a killer tune. Di martini and Crosby had great riffs. Round and round, back for more, way cool jr all had really catchy riffs. Morning after and lay it down are my favs.

Why weren’t Ratt as big as Motley Crue and Poison? I see Motley and Poison doing a Stadium tour, but I’d much rather see RATT do a Stadium Tour, with Juan Croucier on bass, Warren, Bobby, and Stephen…… only person missing would be Robin Crosby ( r.i.p)
You know on a couple records Hill brought in session guys to do the solos because Warren was to wasted. He wrote em all but didn't play em all on those records
The problem with that comparison is that DeGarmo was the primary songwriter. Warren was the lead player while Robin was the songwriter. DeGarmo was clearly more important than Michael Wilton ever was to Queensryche
@@whamsie4022 Agreed. Queensrÿche never recovered their magic after they lost Chris DeGarmo. Then Geoff Tate started taking-over and we all know how that went.
@@whamsie4022 Yup. I love both bands. DeGarmo was more important to QR. I love Warren, fantastic player, but everyone in Ratt helped out with the songwriting. No offense to other guys, but QR was Tate and Chris
That opening lick to LAY IT DOWN 🎸 when it 1st hits..😲 And then, when the band comes in full force...Sheeeaaat man! I can remember hearing it for the 1st time as a 12-13 y.o. crazy Metalhead kid back when even, thinkin "EPIC!" It STILL gives me goosebumps sometimes (in the right situations) when it comes on. 🔥 Yeah, Cellar and Invasion ARE masterpieces IMO🤘I even dig alotta Dancing Undercover (for all the negs it receives). ...Wonder, JUST WHAT DID happen to ALL THOSE Marshall rigs from that era 🤔???... DEFINITELY be worth havin just 1 or 2 of em in today's era. THOSE 80s rigs are like GOLD as far as superior sound etc! And I am just an old Metal drummer, and I know THAT much about such! Lol....It REALLY IS astonishing at best, that so many of those ol rockers AIN'T friggin DEAF today, putting their ears through what they DID, back when......Crazee stuff Lol. ROCK the funk ON!!! 🤘🔥🎸🥁😡🤘
I think it was Robbin who said he didn't like the albums as much after the first 2 . Also i believe he said that to him the first EP was the real Ratt sound. If i am remembering it right.
Interesting that Beau has such warm fuzzy memories of this time. I remember reading that RATT was unhappy with the sound of Invasion of Your Privacy AND Beau Hill.
@@John1067stratIf you listen to the production of some really big selling albums (Crue, Ratt, Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot) Production was very much in it's learning phase for some bands.
I used to work at Rumbo and the story I heard was that Beau was MIA for the entire record and that the 1st engineer, Jim Faraci, was responsible for how awesome that record was. Also, I heard that they came back for the Dance record and tried to recreate the guitar tone from Invasion to a T (same gear, same room, everything) and couldn't get it. Fun Fact: The sound that you hear from Scott Weiland on the song "Dead & Bloated" from the first Stone Temple Pilots record that sounds like a megaphone? That's him singing through a Mesa Boogie Mark I amp.
Wow, I remember my best friend bought this right away. I was still so use to Cellar that I thought it sucked. It grew on me though. Funny trick with the amp heads. Warren & I like the same pickup, the Seymour Duncan SD4 JB. He has his own signature pickup with Seymour Duncan now based off the JB.
Yep 👍... I still say THEATRE OF PAIN IS/WAS one of the BIGGEST disappointments in Hard Rock HISTORY 😬😣 PERIOD!😒 "Gee wow, THANKS Nikki.... 🙄THANKS ALOT!" SMFH. Ohh well, I still had OZZY, MAIDEN and WTF is this THRASH/SPEED METAL stuff that's been rearing IT'S head up?🤔😏 Hehhe🤘🤘 "Motley poo 💩 WHO???"
When you listen to that song and really paying close attention to it. It is a really complicated piece of music, both in how many changes go on, but also the guitar work on it as well.

@@tlarson83 Not only the production, which I agree totally, but the actual song itself is just so well done. Between the Eyes is so complicated to actually play with the timing and especially the guitar work. I've watched and listened to many extremely talented guitar players on UA-cam who can really play that nail it perfectly. Watching exactly how it's done along with the lower volumed song they're playing over and it just looks so technical. I saw RATT live opening up (With Accept going on first) for Motley Crue on City Island on the Susquehanna River in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania early summer of 1984. Such a damn good and technically proficient band at the time. They sound awesome outdoors like that. That's why I went to the show in the first place since Out of the Cellar just dropped in March of that year in my area.RATT actually was for about 2, almost 3 years thee biggest band around. They got more airplay on our area rock stations than anybody else with Round and Round and then Wanted Man seemingly being played every few hours. It's amazing how much some of the guys hated each other, even from the beginning. All of that and Robbin Crosby's passing R.I.P., years later destroyed a really great band.
I will always remember as a kid when I was about 12/13? It was the end of 85/beginning of 86 and I bought a copy of guitar player magazine and the guys from ratt were on the cover, it was just amazing, they gave a great interview etc I just remember that as a kid who was really into the guitar, how much they impressed me......I fucking love the way they played together.......so sad about Robin Crosby.....
@@ryangettig274 sure that's why he couldn't tell the difference between amps. How many albums did the crue sell and they get a Netflix movie. They only people who care are still stuck in the 80's.
@George Lynch Dixonthe last time I heard Ratt was when they were selling insurance on tv. So timeless. Most kids listen to rap nowadays. Not alot want to watch a 60 year old in fake leathers and a wig. How many albums did their last release sell?
They didn’t use any fake leather or wigs and i can tell you that’s there is kids who don’t listen to todays shit show. Take me for an example im getting to the age of 17 this year and the only music i listen to is music before 1995 except sometimes when i listen to Greta Van Fleet because they are the real deal. I listen to All the 80’s bands except Metallica because they suck in my opinion. There is nothing wrong with the Guys in Metallica but i just don’t dig their music but none the less i listen to everything that’s good like Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, rory gallagher, the who, kiss, White lion, Yngwie Malmsteen, Europe, Twisted sister all that stuff.
Of course he couldn't tell. You don't so much hear a cranked 100 watt Marshall as you feel it. The helpful thing to do would have been to get Warren in the control room to monitor, while techs handled duties around the beasts. I guess that would happen later, with less arrogant producers, as Warren's tone got progressively better, culminating in the benchmark tones of "Reach For the Sky" and "Detonator".
Damn..He shoulda hit record soon as Warren started testing..Like Templeman did capturing Eruption with Eddie.. Warren woulda been blazing at that point & the Ratt fans were probably more interested in Hearing Him do that than another 30mins of Stephen Pearcy tryna sing.
That album has my all time favorite 80s guitar tone! And it's not exactly the same as Cellar. Listen to those albums back to back. You can hear a difference. Invasion is much better. So whatever tweaking Beau did, it sounded better the second album.
Thinking of that era in that genre outside of Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen, Warren and Jake E Lee didn't sound like anyone else and all comprised sounding. Not to mention Warren is one bad ass guitar player
Prob the reason he didn’t like his tone on the first album is the cabinet speaker and the mixing during post production. The same amp can sound wildly different through a different speaker.
The sleezy sound on Out of the Cellar was one of a kind... Recreated on Invasion and then Warren went WARREN... He changed the tone to a bluesier sound until HE LOST THE RATT MOJO... 😢 But he got it back on INFESTATION.... 🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿 That album should have been released right after Invasion and before Dancing Undercover...
They used to do the same thing to Hendrix.. .he would say "My wah pedal doesn't sound right!" .. they would say "We're going to run to the store and get you a new one!" and they would leave for a bit, come back, hand him the same one and he would be blown away by how much better it was than the previous one 😂
Warren isn't stupid, and never was. He was young and having his way. He knew he was being played. And, playing is what he fucking does best! Beau was upset Warren was spending Beau's money Atlantic said he could have for what was leftover from recording the album. Warren made certain he was taken care of. Not some producer that doesn't know what an Asus2 chord is.
If that's true, what was done differently because the sound on Invasion was way cooler, crunchier, & just way better than Cellar. I thought he had used a Soldano on Invasion.
Even in my teens I knew they should've released a live album a year or so after Dancing Undercover with two or three new singles. Robin could've got the much needed help he was needing and the boys could've had their ear to the ground with the next shift of change for what was all happening for 1988. They could've been extremely successful with their style of writing but more geared to a hard rock sound There were so many new bands out there and it was sort of going back to the roots yet the riffs with solos and leads were always a must. Hands down in that time and era Ratt had four solid back to back albums no other bands besides Van Halen did it and the closest Motley came was their first two albums until Feelgood. Other than that 85 and 87 were half fluff albums By 88 and 90 those albums had half great songs and half fillers for the first time.
@@charleyreeb6590 For what it's worth, they could've worked with the vocals in various ways or forms for a live album no different than what other bands or artists had done in previous years. The idea of a live album is different than a greatest hits yet it gives the band or artist the ability to release 1 to 5 new singles without doing an ep. It's a carry over or a transition album till the next one comes out. Queensrych after Empire and Faith No More after Angel Dust were two other bands that should've done that. They both still had huge followings in 92 to 93.
I thought on out of the cellar he used modded Marshall’s and invasion of your privacy he used soldano slo 100. I just Hurd both records and the guitar sounds are not exactly the same. Seems like everyone has a different story
Ratt songs are not easy to play. Not for beginners either. All those thrash guys like Exodus and Slayer years ago, admittedly would try playing them and they knew they weren't easy to figure out.
Warren is awesome and he is a very vital to Ratts success, he was the shit had a very unique sound it's not metal it's not blue's it's somewhat stuck between hard rock and just Rock N. Roll it's just different from anyone else's style Warren was always one of my favorite guitarist he's like comparable to Randy Rhodes and Slash I think those three guys are about equal but I don't think one of those guys are anymore talented are anymore talented than the the othe one one that I think got overlooked in his day was Brad Gillis he's as good as Joe satriani my opinion. I mean come on that guy learn Randy Rhodes whole set list and the black Sabbath songs setlist in 2 weeks. Now I don't know too many guitarist that could do that; that quickly Brad Gillis might possibly in the top ten of best guitarist. But I still don't think any of them guys could play all of Warrens material just he as good as Warren Demartini could. I don't know he could possibly be known as the most unique sound I ever heard.
Warren knew that they had no competition with Richie Sambora and Bon Jovi wich was blowing Ratt away every night on the 1985 tour but this is cute Warren really took it seriously Is all that it balls down too
I'm not a fan of beau Hill to be honest. I never really liked how he recorded guitars and just the overall feel of his work. Seems to me he's more about him than anyone else. Producer or whatever.... I don't know. We did a switcheroo on him..... really? I'm sure Warren's tone was fine....
He should have stopped messing with the one trick pony Marshall heads kept one Marshall 1960s 4-12 cab and gotten a Boogie and watched it eat all those old man Marshall amps alive. People need to get over, the whole overrated marshall thing they became obsolete decades ago yet some people still hold on to them while there's SO MANY amps that just crush em and that whole prehistoric biasing the tubes Everytime U change them WTF BOOGIE, RANDELL, ORANGE, EVEN F**KING PEAVY WITH THEIR 5150 series amps ALL CRUSH MARSHALL and those are just a few.
That's just your opinion and a stupid one at that. Good examples of real 60's Marshall plexi amps are 10k and up, so they are far from being obsolete. A whole cottage industry has sprung up trying to copy these real amps with kits and reproductions. All of the greats played Marshall in the studio and live, so like it or not, it's the sound of rock, get over it.
I totally agree with that. I used to use Marshalls all the time... I discovered a Peavy sound when they redesigned their amps. I was blown away by how much better the Peavy sounded. Never went back to Marshall.
@@zzzx8017 I used to hate peavy, they were bad amps that country players who didn't seem to care about their sound and like U said they stepped up and now make amps comparable to Boogie or Orange or any amp out there their 5150s crush. I used a 100 watt marshall then went to a 50watt and their good for power but U always have to use out board gear for any real gain then I went through a few different boogies now I use a triple rectifier and a Boss GX700 and a Rane perimetric EQ and a Marshall 1960s 4-12 it sounds amazing. Randell used to kinda suck then they started putting out great tube amps I'm going to get one of their 45w Diavlo heads just to have another good amp tone to ad for recording. I love gear lol
@@BFahz True up to a certain point it time. I will always use their cabs but the heads generally don't have enough gain for me and having to bias the tube is kinda prehistoric lol
Meh tone don't care really did you write something or not is it good music let the engineers fool with all the sound that what they do. Just write good music if you can.
The beautiful thing about this story is that Warren spent a lot of money giving the best sound to his fans and he didn't spend it on drugs and parties.
Yeah… and Santa’s real.
Best sound? The guitar tone on every album after Invasion sounded like shit.
Oh he spent plenty on drugs and booze. They was millionaires at that point. Lucky for Warren he got writing credit so the hits they have he gets paid for so he's the only one in the band that has any money today.

Guys that play boogies.
Yeah, Warren D is a great guitarist. Loved his style and work with RATT. One of the best "Hair" bands (music and talent wise) of the 80's. In my opinion of course.
The greatest guitarists came from Southern California through the ‘70s-‘80s, Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, George Lynch, Jake E Lee, Warren DeMartini and they all pushed each other and inspired one another to be extraordinary!
I loved his tone on Cellar.
I agree him and Jake E Lee, George Lynch had the greatest tone for the 80s metal guitar players.
Lynch’s tone is sick with the plexi.
I always loved Robin Crosby, Chris Holmes, and C.C. Deville.
Agree, love both his and Crosby’s guitar tones on cellar.
The outro on "round and round" is tasty. Outros are like a little extra solo for you.
When I think of "tasty" guitarist, Warren comes to mind.
You Know it Lay It Down
He had that incredible way about him where his tone and playing just got better and better over time .
The tone on Invasion is amazing. Lay It Down intro especially .
Crazy how much technology has come along in recording, but that riff from that song in 1985 still parts my hair when it comes on.
So true. That riff. That tone. From another planet.

The helpful thing to do would have been to get Warren in the control room to monitor, while techs handled duties around the beasts. I guess that would happen later, with less arrogant producers, as Warren's tone got progressively better, culminating in the benchmark tones of "Reach For the Sky" and "Detonator".
Tone on Cellar was great. You could hear any one chord and instantly know it was Warren.
Damn..He shoulda hit record soon as Warren started testing..Like Templeman did capturing Eruption with Eddie.. Warren woulda been blazing at that point & the Ratt fans were probably more interested in Hearing Him do that than another 30mins of Stephen Pearcy tryna sing.
That album has my all time favorite 80s guitar tone! And it's not exactly the same as Cellar. Listen to those albums back to back. You can hear a difference. Invasion is much better. So whatever tweaking Beau did, it sounded better the second album.
Thinking of that era in that genre outside of Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen, Warren and Jake E Lee didn't sound like anyone else and all comprised sounding. Not to mention Warren is one bad ass guitar player
Interesting, but I already heard this a year ago or more. I thought it was on this same channel, no?
You’re right. The one from last year was a longer interview. This is the same interview, with the Warren story cut, isolated and shorter.
@@cwheremonster8870 No, the one I heard before was the same way. No biggie, I just thought I was having a déjà vu moment.
Prob the reason he didn’t like his tone on the first album is the cabinet speaker and the mixing during post production.
The same amp can sound wildly different through a different speaker.
The sleezy sound on Out of the Cellar was one of a kind... Recreated on Invasion and then Warren went WARREN... He changed the tone to a bluesier sound until HE LOST THE RATT MOJO... 😢
But he got it back on INFESTATION....
🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
That album should have been released right after Invasion and before Dancing Undercover...
He must have turned them up to eleven! Lol
He knows now! 🤣😂
I thought he used a fender super champ practice amp for Out of the cellar? There is a UA-cam video where he says so himself
They used to do the same thing to Hendrix.. .he would say "My wah pedal doesn't sound right!" .. they would say "We're going to run to the store and get you a new one!" and they would leave for a bit, come back, hand him the same one and he would be blown away by how much better it was than the previous one 😂
He remembers it so viciously, as if it was filed under the classified section under the title of “things that never happened”
Great cd as well as Out of the Cellar
Didnt he use a fender champ on the first album?
My top 4 guitarists:

Tone is in your hands. The gear is like the outfit you wear. It ultimately doesn’t change your face.
Warren isn't stupid, and never was. He was young and having his way. He knew he was being played. And, playing is what he fucking does best! Beau was upset Warren was spending Beau's money Atlantic said he could have for what was leftover from recording the album. Warren made certain he was taken care of. Not some producer that doesn't know what an Asus2 chord is.
If that's true, what was done differently because the sound on Invasion was way cooler, crunchier, & just way better than Cellar. I thought he had used a Soldano on Invasion.
This was the best story- EVER
i've never heard warren live...
did he lay it down?
Fantastic player
WOW. That's a story of Spinal Tap proportions right there. 😂🤣
And what kind of Marshall was this ?
Plexis
Even in my teens I knew they should've released a live album a year or so after Dancing Undercover with two or three new singles.
Robin could've got the much needed help he was needing and the boys could've had their ear to the ground with the next shift of change for what was all happening for 1988.
They could've been extremely successful with their style of writing but more geared to a hard rock sound
There were so many new bands out there and it was sort of going back to the roots yet the riffs with solos and leads were always a must.
Hands down in that time and era Ratt had four solid back to back albums no other bands besides Van Halen did it and the closest Motley came was their first two albums until Feelgood. Other than that 85 and 87 were half fluff albums
By 88 and 90 those albums had half great songs and half fillers for the first time.
@@charleyreeb6590 For what it's worth, they could've worked with the vocals in various ways or forms for a live album no different than what other bands or artists had done in previous years. The idea of a live album is different than a greatest hits yet it gives the band or artist the ability to release 1 to 5 new singles without doing an ep. It's a carry over or a transition album till the next one comes out. Queensrych after Empire and Faith No More after Angel Dust were two other bands that should've done that. They both still had huge followings in 92 to 93.
Tone quest is eternal..
Warren Crazy Enough to Sing to You and Blow your Mind
I thought on out of the cellar he used modded Marshall’s and invasion of your privacy he used soldano slo 100. I just Hurd both records and the guitar sounds are not exactly the same. Seems like everyone has a different story
Thought he was going to say, Princeton reverb in the men's room
Was a modified marshall by lee jackson.
Hope they have a reunion
Ratt songs are not easy to play. Not for beginners either. All those thrash guys like Exodus and Slayer years ago, admittedly would try playing them and they knew they weren't easy to figure out.
I think Warren is a pistol. But Gary Moore could play a Yukulele thru an old Crate combo with a blown speaker and STILL sound like Gary.
I was going to mention Gary when I saw your post. Empty rooms . Sad lyrics that you could relate to, the phrasing.
4x4 cabinets? He means 4x12. 4 12 inch speakers.
Invasion was ok . out of the cellar was their best , Dancing undercover was their last good album after that ; they just fell off
Due to lack of Robbin's influence. Sad in so many ways
That’s interesting, because I always thought invasion was much better.
Detonator has some great tracks. Nobody Rides For Free.
@@futarydary as well as Hard Time, Can't wait on Love, and Top Secret. All real good
@@futarydary From Ratt n' Roll 81/91, not Detonator, although it may have been recorded during the Detonator studio sessions.
Ahh the 80's es bueno
Fucking 'Rockstar Behaviour! LOL!
My God, that's hilarious. "Placebo effect" for your hearing.
Rats best album ever
All the guitars and amps I have ever played…. Sound exactly like me…. It is that simple
Nah
Welp ...he knows now!
you always need to use the blindfold test when comparing amps otherwise confirmation bias creeps in
Considering he thought 🤔 he was getting ripped off from rumors , decided his mindset..it was a setup
Hmm...I just don't get the point...
Warren is awesome and he is a very vital to Ratts success, he was the shit had a very unique sound it's not metal it's not blue's it's somewhat stuck between hard rock and just Rock N. Roll it's just different from anyone else's style Warren was always one of my favorite guitarist he's like comparable to Randy Rhodes and Slash I think those three guys are about equal but I don't think one of those guys are anymore talented are anymore talented than the the othe one one that I think got overlooked in his day was Brad Gillis he's as good as Joe satriani my opinion. I mean come on that guy learn Randy Rhodes whole set list and the black Sabbath songs setlist in 2 weeks. Now I don't know too many guitarist that could do that; that quickly Brad Gillis might possibly in the top ten of best guitarist. But I still don't think any of them guys could play all of Warrens material just he as good as Warren Demartini could. I don't know he could possibly be known as the most unique sound I ever heard.
Torch...🤘🏿
70s, and 80s
Warren knew that they had no competition with Richie Sambora and Bon Jovi wich was blowing Ratt away every night on the 1985 tour but this is cute Warren really took it seriously Is all that it balls down too
I do appreciate Invasion more as time goes on but Out Of The Cellar is definitely the better album.
This is why I stopped playing metal in 1985 🎸
Ah the gatekeeper. Thankfully Warrens skill is immortalized in the albums.
He knows now lol watching this video
= warren rocksssssssssssssssssssssssss
Life
WHAT!
It’s the speakers not the head most of the time Celestion in the 80s was hit or miss Dope on speaker cones sucks
😂😂😂
✔
🤣🤣🤣
Mind over matter LOL!!!
I'm not a fan of beau Hill to be honest. I never really liked how he recorded guitars and just the overall feel of his work.
Seems to me he's more about him than anyone else. Producer or whatever.... I don't know.
We did a switcheroo on him..... really? I'm sure Warren's tone was fine....
He should have stopped messing with the one trick pony Marshall heads kept one Marshall 1960s 4-12 cab and gotten a Boogie and watched it eat all those old man Marshall amps alive. People need to get over, the whole overrated marshall thing they became obsolete decades ago yet some people still hold on to them while there's SO MANY amps that just crush em and that whole prehistoric biasing the tubes Everytime U change them WTF BOOGIE, RANDELL, ORANGE, EVEN F**KING PEAVY WITH THEIR 5150 series amps ALL CRUSH MARSHALL and those are just a few.
That's just your opinion and a stupid one at that. Good examples of real 60's Marshall plexi amps are 10k and up, so they are far from being obsolete. A whole cottage industry has sprung up trying to copy these real amps with kits and reproductions. All of the greats played Marshall in the studio and live, so like it or not, it's the sound of rock, get over it.
I totally agree with that. I used to use Marshalls all the time... I discovered a Peavy sound when they redesigned their amps. I was blown away by how much better the Peavy sounded. Never went back to Marshall.
@@zzzx8017 I used to hate peavy, they were bad amps that country players who didn't seem to care about their sound and like U said they stepped up and now make amps comparable to Boogie or Orange or any amp out there their 5150s crush. I used a 100 watt marshall then went to a 50watt and their good for power but U always have to use out board gear for any real gain then I went through a few different boogies now I use a triple rectifier and a Boss GX700 and a Rane perimetric EQ and a Marshall 1960s 4-12 it sounds amazing. Randell used to kinda suck then they started putting out great tube amps I'm going to get one of their 45w Diavlo heads just to have another good amp tone to ad for recording. I love gear lol
Marshall is THE sound of most of our favorite recordings ever!
@@BFahz True up to a certain point it time. I will always use their cabs but the heads generally don't have enough gain for me and having to bias the tube is kinda prehistoric lol
Meh tone don't care really did you write something or not is it good music let the engineers fool with all the sound that what they do. Just write good music if you can.
Hilarious
Mr Bloom , He was forced to buy them . Knucklehead .
Hhhahhhhhahhhahhhahah
This is why I don't employ producers.
