I loved this and I'm 100% looking forward to whatever happens next with this channel. I gain a whole new appreciation for the music when I learn what happened behind the scenes to create its DNA.
Agreed. Eric, I'd be really keen to know how you tracked the guitars. The picking sections especially sound like they were tracked one chord at a time.
This reminds me that regardless of your gear if the demo isn’t that of a good song, it’s burnt toast. Also makes sense that this era brought constraints that today people will seldom realize were gold. In this case multi-platinum
Yes! typically on sessions like these we would use my drums and I would tune them to try and get em as close as possible to what I was hearing in my head.
It did! I don’t remember all the specifics of it but the flow of the record was definitely affected by the 2 new songs. As usual the record company wanted all star as close to the front as possible. They would put it #1 if allowed. We definitely wanted the record to start with who’s there.
@@ericvalentine5082 that is super interesting to me. Both those songs fit so well with the rest of the album and the sequencing is such that I can't imagine it being any other way!
'Eric Valentine, but every time he hits play it's All Star by Smash Mouth'
Watching this again post Steves passing. Thank you for documenting this. RIP Steve Harwell
Well this is amazing
Eric, thank you so much for doing this. It’d be amazing to see one on “Hows It Going To Be” by Third Eye Blind. That song is amazing
Your drum sounds are incredible.
thx
Killer!👌
I hope you keep making more of these. Very interesting and insightful👊
This was awesome! Would love to see something similar for a song off of Songs for the Deaf or the Young and Hopeless.
Really cool guys!

love this. unironically, All Star was kind of the song that got me into music--and later music production in college.
"Losing a Whole Year" would be an awesome episode (imho).
Great stuff Eric! Would love to see a deconstruction of AAR "Gives you Hell"
Omg!
Eric Valentine!!!
You are my hero!
Thank you so much for doing this (and NOT through mix with the masters)!
Awesome! Thanks for this Eric. Would love to see you keep this up. A taking back Sunday episode would be amazing! Fair play man.
Thoroughly enjoyed this so much!! I hope you have Greg back on to break down more of Astro Lounge (Fush Yu Mang and Self Titled for that matter too!!)
Instant subscriber here! Eric man... you've produced most of my favourite records. Much respect! Thanks for doing this channel

Noting your conversation at the end about how things spread, I found my way here by looking at the credits for Semi Charmed Life.

YES
Subbed. Please please please do an episode about T-Ride.

Hey Eric ! thanks for sharing your tricks man! How did you get your Ampex mm 1200 to be so quiet !? i hear no tape hiss with those guitar riff solo'd.
he didn't mention that they initially stiffed him payment on their first demo. showbiz
Persephone Bee's record please..
🙏😊
This is so good thank you. 😭
Did you tune the kick (and the kit)? It sounds insane.
Yes! typically on sessions like these we would use my drums and I would tune them to try and get em as close as possible to what I was hearing in my head.
Would be amazing to see you do "Good for you" by 3EB .....
He wears that shirt in every video I've seen him in haha
Haha!! You got me! I guess I am fond of that shirt for this sort of thing. I'm gonna have to get more shirts!! :)
do a video with dave cooley on citizen king!
4:11
Hey I think I went to that one! That was at Sterlingfest right?
did the track order change from when you first submitted the album to the second time when you added "all star" and "then the morning comes"?
It did! I don’t remember all the specifics of it but the flow of the record was definitely affected by the 2 new songs. As usual the record company wanted all star as close to the front as possible. They would put it #1 if allowed. We definitely wanted the record to start with who’s there.

The 5th... :) I bet George Martin would have appreciated that comment.
