Hi Friends, I recently had a chance to sit down with my good friend Dave Jerden and I have to say is that it was a rather exciting chat! We talked about the song "Man In The Box" by Alice in Chains that he Produced, Engineered and Mixed! This is a big song, when this song came out I don't believe I had heard guitar and drums that sounded as big as they do in this song. - Nothing sounded quite as big as this song in 1990! Please let me what songs you'd like to know more about the Production process on!
I would LOVE to know about Rust In Peace by Megadeth. It's one of my alltime favorite albums and it just hascso much depth, detail and power. Dave is a genius. If you could do a video on this it would be much appreciated.... cheers mate.
Aw shucks thanks ever so much my friend! That's very kind of you to say! I am glad to be able to bring the Producer, Engineer and Mixer ion to be able to talk about the recording!
Thanks ever so much Cameron! That means a lot! I am glad to be able to bring Dave Jerden, the Producer, Engineer and Mixer ion to be able to talk about the recording!
Your father is by far my favorite producer!!! I like many fans need to thank him 1,000 times over for working with this band! AIC and your father working with them is the whole reason I'm into music and possibly why I'm still alive!!!! To this day. When I was younger things weren't too easy and I felt comfort in this band! To this day I'm obsessed with their music.
@@christophery9699 yes, it’s always been me and My Daddy Duck! He calls me little Duck and oh man, the stories I could tell. I always admired him for going after his dream, making that dream come true and for making the ultimate sacrifice of traveling around the world, producing and engineering to support us in the way he always wanted to. He’s so cool that when I had my kids, he didn’t want to be called grandpa, he wanted to be called “ Cool Dave” lol. I’ve often thought of writing a book called “You can’t make this shit up” because the life my Dad has lived, and the life we’ve lived, the Amazing people we’ve had the pleasure to meet, and the Amazing, true stories of people who one can only dream of hanging out with. You just can’t make this shit up.. that’s why I would name my book that lol! Thank You so much for the kind words. Oh, if you go to the video of Chris Cornell live on The David Letterman show, he’s singing the song “The Keeper” if you look, I made several replies to one person on there, Rose something (I’m terribly sorry I don’t remember the exact name) anyway I tell a stories to her about my Dad you’d probably get a kick out of. I have “The Keeper” tattooed on me because Chris Played that song for my Dad before releasing it. His passing was absolutely devastating, so to honor him I had that tattooed. My Dad is literally the most Brilliant Man I know. ⭐️
This is everything that is right with the internet. For music lovers this is just priceless. It is also refreshing to hear the respect that Dave has for AIC. Clearly the producer played a major role in their first major recording; however, he does not attempt to "hog" the credit rather he just states that he helped them focus where to go with their sound. Thank-you Warren this was solid gold!
Thanks to Dave for the Shout out! I worked at that syndicated Rock Network out of Dallas Texas. It was called ZRock. We broke Alice In Chains. We also broke Rage Against The Machine, Killing In The Name. I remember recording it to reel to reel then editing all the Fuck you’s. I reversed them so I didn’t lose the intensity of the song. Then played it on my Sunday night show, Wounded Radio. This is about 3 weeks before the record company, Epic, had an edited version. The band did not want to release the edit. Good old days!!
Hey, since you worked for ZRock, do you know of a song called "The Fallen King"? There's a search for the artist who made it, and it's believed to have been broadcast on ZRock. IF you want to hear it, just search for the title on youtube, it has a sort of fantasy/ medieval thumbnail photo.
dave's final comments about being able to die happy after this one were very touching. what an incredible piece of work from every person involved. the stuff of legend
I love the dissonance with the c note played along with the low d, it really adds to the darknesss of the track. Also those famous perfect 4ths vocal harmonies became a real standard of AIC. I've seen a recent rick beato analysis of this track saying jerry sang the harmonies - a big rock secret haha. Great video guys.
Bradley Cook, Michael Beinhorn and now Dave Jerden- this inside series is insane! I got goosebumps from Layne´s voice. Thank you so much, Warren! best channel on youtube hands down!
I remember hearing this for the first time on the radio in '90 -- so blown away. I immediately went out and bought the CD -- to this day the opening riff in We Die Young still just slays me. This is great Warren -- thank you.
The Dude Abides. GREAT INTERVIEW! thank you so much for bringing us this and sharing this amazing song, recording, and experience with us! When i started recording, i had no idea what i was doing, but i knew almost immediately that i couldn't get my favorite sound (THIS SOUND) with just one amp. wasn't going to happen. been multi micing multi amps since the beginning thanks to Dave Jerden's sound. thank you so much for the amazing albums Dave, and thank you so much for sharing and bringing your experience and personality to everyone. this is amazing!
Wow! I still remember hearing that song the very first time and thinking how huge that song sounded and the amazing guitar tones! I love that you are doing these breakdowns with the people that actually recorded them. Keep these up!
Scott Chandler Thanks ever so much my friend! Yes, it’s very impairing to me to highlight the talent behind the songs! It’s not about me! It’s about the Artist, the song and the producer, Engineers and mixers work!
@@Producelikeapro It's not about you, but because of you we can witness a special insight into the making of songs we listened to a thousand times before from first hand. So thank you a lot! And keep those coming! This series has historical value :D
Layne Staley and Chris Cornell both had iconic voices all they had to do is sing 2 notes and you knew who they were. It would be awesome to have Judas Priest for in side the song. Thank you for doing this Warren these are awesome to sit down and hear how it was done
You do an incredible job at letting your guests speak and go on without interruption while also jumping in when necessary to ask the necessary nerd questions that we're hoping you'll ask.
Produce Like A Pro id love to get together next time I’m in LA. I’m a monitor engineer currently working with Post Malone. Got to do the Grammy’s with post and RHCP As well as VMAs with Aerosmith and Post! Maybe we could do a segment together!
Absolutely brilliant interview and listening session. I am so inspired by Dave Jerden and how much he contributed to AIC's sound and the grunge era that followed. Rock on!
Ah yes. Dave Jerden. The first engineer/producer I ever discovered from purposrly looking at the liner notes to find out who recorded the record that was in that moment blowing my mind and changing my musical world view. 1989. Desperate for something new and exciting to listen to, I went down to the record store and bought JA’s Nothing’s Shocking having never heard their music or knowing anything about them beyond an acquaintance mention their name. Walked home on that bright spring Colorado afternoon, smoked a joint, set my boombox on my lap and put in the cassette... life changed. I instantly wanted to know every detail. The name Dave Jerden was burned into my memory right alongside the members of the band. Still get chills listening to that record.
I had a similar experience Daniel. Nothing sounded like Nothing's Shocking at the time. It was really heavy but not necessarily metal and nothing sounded like it at the time. Dave Jerden got such a thick guitar sound. This was before Nevermind. Guitar rock was alive and well.
@@Producelikeapro Thanks for the reply Warren. Really great insight into these songs. I can only imagine your excitement at hearing the original stems. Much love from a fellow Brit
Absolutely amazing! The first time I heard this song on the radio I was in total shock. Like Bush Machinehead, two of the most remarkable listening events in my life.
this sis most AMAZING !!!!! One of my all time favorite songs.... I want more... I love Alice in Chains... And great to here form Dave himself.... Thanks
So awesome to actually hear how that came together. This song is one of my all time favorites, the vocals are just incredible. I paused this video mid-way through, went out to my studio, sliced up my speaker frequency ranges to grab low end off my G12K (ditching the high mids and high white noise), took the upper mids and high end off the V30... and finally dialed in the guitar sound I have been searching forever but not getting. I never thought to use high and low pass filters to grab the "best" (and only the best) part of the range of each speaker before and blend them together; I'd only tried blending the entire speaker before. That... is amazing secret sauce. Thanks for sharing!
"I don't know how to describe it.....but, Man in The Box is close" - Dave Jerden - Thats amazing. These videos are so incredible. It's great that we can now experience the extreme level of detail and philosophy that goes into these productions. Thank you Warren! This makes we want to hear the individual tracks of Love, Hate, Love so badly cause they really ripped on that one.
Made me feel like I did first time I heard this ... so euphoric ... what a great time in my life ... so many memories ... still jam it when the feelings right ...
Warren this series is getting outrageously awesome man. You’re killing it getting these era songs like this. Making a lot people’s day getting this insight. My favorite era (in my time of living) by far in music.
So I just took notes my good friend has a Alice N Chains Cover band that I have been a roadie for & they are called " the Alice N Chains Experience" performing regularly here in Michigan where I live. Great stuff
This was a superb breakdown of the track...always wondered about how this was put together...answers a lot! Still obsess about this song all these years later...Alice in Chains never gets old. Thanks Warren!
My favorite video by far! Like most people listening, this song changed my life. Excellent interview and Dave Jerden is clearly a genius at what he does. Listening to him talk about the guys in AIC and their genius is priceless. Thanks for the interview and Dave Jerden thank you for your amazing and incredible work...
Brilliant. Thank you for letting Dave speak through some of that stuff so we can all get the full gist of his head space and all that - which is as important as anything IMO.
This series is truly brilliant, Warren. Would love to hear you do any Black Sabbath song or album, especially the debut effort. It is just so raw and primal, like cold water thrown in the face. I'm old enough to remember it's impact back in 1970. Please keep these coming, sir.
Thanks so much Warren, Dave is another authentic engineer who went on a whim of intuition and inspiration, like any true Sabbath fan would! Endless gratitude to you for these videos, cheers Warren you legend!
Love this record so much! Thank you Dave Jerden for helping Alice in Chains make such amazing recordings. Thanks Warren for such an amazing channel. So inspiring! You guys are the real deal!!! The best of the best of the best!!!!!!!
yeah I don't feel I can add much of anything here.....awesome to see this....and absolutely love everything Alice in Chains has done and Jerry's work also afterwards. Really cool to hear this from Dave.
I repeat myself :), but I was never a metal guy, although this does often not apply to "alternative rock". And these songs, were simply musical, not pure shreddage. Your song choices for this series are great Sir! Please continue, Warren. Thanks alot.
As soon as I saw the title I had those epic goose bumps; knowing I'd get to hear THESE tracks outside of the mix! Stellar! The conversation with Dave Jerden was very cool. Both insightful and inspiring. Great work again, dear sir, as usual!
This was amazing to hear the isolated tracks with Dave commenting. Dave was right, this was the only song they used the Voicebox on but that was up until Rotten Apple on JoF.
I know I'm late to the game here, just discovering your channel now in Jan 2020, but had to say that I love these conversations with professionals, hearing the various parts of the mix, and especially you showing pictures of the various mics and equipment while you talk about it keep it up

Thanks ever so much@@darlenesheffield9835!
It was exciting and informative. Interesting video.... many thanks.
I would LOVE to know about Rust In Peace by Megadeth. It's one of my alltime favorite albums and it just hascso much depth, detail and power. Dave is a genius. If you could do a video on this it would be much appreciated.... cheers mate.
@@titmusspaultpaul5 Yep.. great call
Are you kidding me? First black hole sun and now this? This is crazy! Thank you again!
Aw shucks thanks ever so much my friend! That's very kind of you to say! I am glad to be able to bring the Producer, Engineer and Mixer ion to be able to talk about the recording!
@@Producelikeapro Now get Brendan O'Brien to talk about some Pearl Jam tune! :) :) :) Great episode!
No before BHS was Everlong dude! He’s going for the fences on the series.
Hi@@ryderup great stuff! Yes, that would be quite amazing indeed!
Hi@@nikdrownthanks ever so much my friend!!
That rug really ties the room together, man.
Dave jerden does look like "The Dude"
😂😂😂
Fuckin' A.
Did it not?
HOOOOLY SHIT those vocal tracks are insane. It feels like a real privilege to hear these tracks isolated.
I agree 100%!! Truly amazing!!
I thought the same bro, got the chills hearing that isolated for the first time!
Mauricio Leguízamo so amazing
finest vocal track ive heard..chilling
Black Hole Sun, now Man in the Box. We are truly blessed.
Thanks ever so much my friend!
This inside the song series is getting crazy warren. WOW!!!
Thanks ever so much Cameron! That means a lot! I am glad to be able to bring Dave Jerden, the Producer, Engineer and Mixer ion to be able to talk about the recording!
best thing warren keep continue its amazing this series
Thanks ever so much@@p.m-audio!
I agree with these people. Love this series!
That’s My Dad! Proud Daughter of Dave Jerden!
We love your Dad!
Your father is by far my favorite producer!!! I like many fans need to thank him 1,000 times over for working with this band! AIC and your father working with them is the whole reason I'm into music and possibly why I'm still alive!!!! To this day. When I was younger things weren't too easy and I felt comfort in this band!

Your dad is hands down my favorite producer of all time.
This man doesn't get enough credit. He mixed two of (imo) the best mixed albums of all time.
Layne was the one of the best singer in Rock Music in The World.
God bless him.
Yes, truly amazing!!

Wow! Thank you ever so much James! I really appreciate it!
Warren, your content is exceptional! Any chance of getting a special with Butch Vig?
Seconded.
Would definitely like to get into Vig's nooks and crannies.
That's a wonderful idea my friend!!
Thanks@@TheSilenceNoise!!
Marvellous idea@@MrMattsas!

Dave Jerden is an incredible producer, he and engineer Brian Carlstrom were a great team to work with back in the 90's!
Agreed 1,000,000%! Thanks ever so much my friend! I really appreciate it!

I've seen a recent rick beato analysis of this track saying jerry sang the harmonies - a big rock secret haha. Great video guys.
Hi Michael, the layered Layne part is definitely Layne, you can hear that. However there are some Harmonies, left and right that are definitely Jerry.
I'm hoping for a part 2 for Them Bones!
Luuk Meijwaard nice idea!!
PLEASE!!!!!
Bradley Cook, Michael Beinhorn and now Dave Jerden- this inside series is insane! I got goosebumps from Layne´s voice.
Thank you so much, Warren! best channel on youtube hands down!
oh and not to forget Shelly Yakus! simply amazing!
Thanks ever so much Henning!! You Rock!!
I remember hearing this for the first time on the radio in '90 -- so blown away. I immediately went out and bought the CD -- to this day the opening riff in We Die Young still just slays me. This is great Warren -- thank you.

What a blessing of a segment. Man, If Dave Jerden gave his two cents and we could hear the individual tracks of "Rain When I Die"!!
I could listen to that man talk about these sessions all day. The bit about Zappa was a big bonus!
Obie Quan yes!! Love Zappa!!
At around 7:40 mins.
Wow! I still remember hearing that song the very first time and thinking how huge that song sounded and the amazing guitar tones! I love that you are doing these breakdowns with the people that actually recorded them. Keep these up!

First Black hole sun and now this, my favourite Alice track. I'm reliving my youth, good stuff Warren
Thanks ever so much Jim! Glad to be able to help my friend!
Love it! This guy is an old warrior. Wish I knew half of what he forgot about recording.
Layne Staley and Chris Cornell both had iconic voices all they had to do is sing 2 notes and you knew who they were. It would be awesome to have Judas Priest for in side the song. Thank you for doing this Warren these are awesome to sit down and hear how it was done
I'm clicking like even before the video starts
Thumb up not only before watching the video but even before I was reading your comment!:-)
Carlos Garcia same lol
Thanks ever so much Carlos!
You do an incredible job at letting your guests speak and go on without interruption while also jumping in when necessary to ask the necessary nerd questions that we're hoping you'll ask.
Thanks ever so much my friend! I really appreciate it! You Rock!!

snapascrew that sounds like a great idea!
Came for the guitars, stayed for the vocals. I am lucky seeing AIC on their first European tour. Mighty!
Dude!! that's insane that Jerry had never played with a talkbox before that. Dude plays it like Peter Frampton. Thanks Warren!!
I am beyond happy I found this gem of a channel!
Those vocals... goosebumps every single time.
Yes, incredible!!
Absolutely brilliant interview and listening session. I am so inspired by Dave Jerden and how much he contributed to AIC's sound and the grunge era that followed. Rock on!
Thanks James for that lovely comment! We love Dave he is a close family friend. Happy New Year!

Agreed! I remember it very well when I first heard it! Amazing!!
@@Producelikeapro Thanks for the reply Warren. Really great insight into these songs. I can only imagine your excitement at hearing the original stems. Much love from a fellow Brit

Brilliant Warren, you're like a kid in a candy store playing with that song. You're enthusiasm never fails to amaze🤘
John Boulton yes! I loved this!!
So awesome to actually hear how that came together. This song is one of my all time favorites, the vocals are just incredible. I paused this video mid-way through, went out to my studio, sliced up my speaker frequency ranges to grab low end off my G12K (ditching the high mids and high white noise), took the upper mids and high end off the V30... and finally dialed in the guitar sound I have been searching forever but not getting. I never thought to use high and low pass filters to grab the "best" (and only the best) part of the range of each speaker before and blend them together; I'd only tried blending the entire speaker before.

Watching this for the millionth time, Jerden is so cool
I want those tracks, so bad! More on Alice In Chains please. One of the best bands of the 90s.
You can hear the pain in Layne's voice, what a feeling, & the notes he could hold! 5***** production.
Yes, I agree!! Thanks ever so much my friend! I really appreciate it!
31:50 "That song by Bon Jovi, Living a Dream?" Haha, what a classic, it's always been my fave! Keep up the top notch content Warren!
I know Aidan! Amazing!
Livin on a Prayer.
From the moment you hear the drums kick in you know the next 4:47 are going to be amazing.

I will never listen to this song the same again. Wow just what a masterclass of space and sound and HEAVY. Thank you for sharing this. Amazing.
Glad you enjoy it!
Unbelievable creative common sense genius!
Thank you both!
Thanks ever so much Don! I really appreciate it!
Dave Jerden is a legend. He's been connected to so much good music. Thank you!
Yes, agreed Lex!
Now that's a bass tone! Thx Warren and Dave
Orangutan Trade Salesmen agreed!! Amazing
Mr. Jerden, thank you sir for capturing the two masterpieces, Facelift and Dirt. I'm not sure another rock / metal band will ever top these.
This was a superb breakdown of the track...always wondered about how this was put together...answers a lot! Still obsess about this song all these years later...Alice in Chains never gets old. Thanks Warren!
Thanks ever so much Chris!! You Rock!
My favorite video by far! Like most people listening, this song changed my life. Excellent interview and Dave Jerden is clearly a genius at what he does.

I agree! So amazing to have the Producer, Engineer and Mixer share the real details! Truly amazing!
That was great ...we hear all of these great tunes but we never think about how they were brought to life....dudes like him ....that's how.
Thanks ever so much Mark
Best videos on UA-cam hands down!!
You're very kind Daniel!!
Thanx for the insight, where's my X100...
The look on your face when that wall of crushing guitars comes in says it all. Incredible stuff. Right on Warren!
Haha yes!! Truly amazing!!
Hell yeah I love this series, one of my fav songs ever 🙌 please keep doing this cuz it’s awesome
Hi Anthony! Thanks ever so much my friend! I really appreciate it!
I could listen to this man speak all day, everyday! Love his passion for this music and the band. 😎
Jerden has so much acquired knowledge and tremendous respect for musicians.
Yes! Agreed Brandon!
Thrilled to stumble onto this gem!!
Thanks ever so much
This is the best Dave interview. Thanks for the miking and guitar production tips as well
I'm loving these song /band/producer choices, the 90's was the best fun/trouble I've had in my life and these bands were the soundtrack 👍
You're showing me the secrets to my childhood and my forming as a musician! Thanks!
Aw shucks that's wonderful to hear Bob!!
Dito!
This series is truly brilliant, Warren. Would love to hear you do any Black Sabbath song or album, especially the debut effort. It is just so raw and primal, like cold water thrown in the face. I'm old enough to remember it's impact back in 1970. Please keep these coming, sir.
Thanks so much Warren, Dave is another authentic engineer who went on a whim of intuition and inspiration, like any true Sabbath fan would! Endless gratitude to you for these videos, cheers Warren you legend!
Thanks ever so much my friend! I really appreciate it! Agreed! Dave is amazing!
This is way better than classic albums could have ever been! I love it!
Thanks ever so much!! You Rock!!
Love this record so much! Thank you Dave Jerden for helping Alice in Chains make such amazing recordings. Thanks Warren for such an amazing channel. So inspiring! You guys are the real deal!!! The best of the best of the best!!!!!!!
Another 90's gem, so grateful you are doing these videos Warren🙏
The vocal tracks 28 minutes-in are insanely good. Layne's ability to nail the pitch and hold it like that is not easy. Thanks Warren!
Matthew Em maj9 agreed! Amazing!!
I love that he mentions 5 Star Bar in L.A., I saw my buddy's band play there a few months ago! 😎
I know! That's amazing!
Every single element of this recording is glorious... thanks for this!
I agree Josh! So amazing!!
Thank you for these interviews....so educational. Those isolated vocals are insane!
These new inside the song videos are amazing! Keep em coming and thank you!
Thanks ever so much David!
Outstanding thx guys, this and the BHS video the other day were great!
John Murphy Thanks ever so much!
Warren, this series is fantastic, please more more more!

Best music related series online... period! Thanks Warren
Thank you Dave and Warren for clearing up so many questions I had about this song!
You're very welcome Darlene!
"Im the man mixing in the box" grunka grunka. Great song cheers Dave and Warren R.I.P. Layne Staley and Mike Starr : (
yeah I don't feel I can add much of anything here.....awesome to see this....and absolutely love everything Alice in Chains has done and Jerry's work also afterwards. Really cool to hear this from Dave.
Thank you Warren and Dave! You are both legends! This is beautiful!
You're very kind Darren! Dave is the legend!
Incredible! Thank you fellas!
Thanks ever so much my friend! I really appreciate it!
I repeat myself :), but I was never a metal guy, although this does often not apply to "alternative rock". And these songs, were simply musical, not pure shreddage.
Your song choices for this series are great Sir! Please continue, Warren. Thanks alot.
I'm so glad you did this song. To my mind it epitomized real rock then, and still sets the standard for what moves me.
I've been listening to Janes Addiction a lot lately. The guitars on Mountain Song from Nothings Shocking are just soooo big. Dave Jerden is the man!
Agreed! Thanks for sharing
Just wanted to say how inspiring it is listening to Dave! Such a cool guy and is really looking awesome 😎
As soon as I saw the title I had those epic goose bumps; knowing I'd get to hear THESE tracks outside of the mix! Stellar! The conversation with Dave Jerden was very cool. Both insightful and inspiring. Great work again, dear sir, as usual!
Wow!! Thanks ever so much my friend! I really appreciate it!
I would pay big bucks for a Dave Jerden drum and guitar Masterclass. Love his insights!
these are so great .i'm addicted
I missed this band ( although I think I heard this song). In the late 80s early 90's I was listening to Roxette!
Haha Larry!!
This was amazing to hear the isolated tracks with Dave commenting. Dave was right, this was the only song they used the Voicebox on but that was up until Rotten Apple on JoF.
I know I'm late to the game here, just discovering your channel now in Jan 2020, but had to say that I love these conversations with professionals, hearing the various parts of the mix, and especially you showing pictures of the various mics and equipment while you talk about it keep it up
Would love to see Evil Joe on an episode of this with a TOOL track.
coldproject yes!! That would be amazing!!
Chevelle tune would be cool too
Warren and Dave thanx this tune is killer! This is the chemistry of great band and great producer uniting!
