@@lahattec I agree that's an excellent track. The lp version anyway with the harmonica at the end. Heck, anything off Breakfast in America. The production at EMI was 1st rate on that record!!
I literally cried hearing those guitars soloed. Beautiful tones. The arrangement is insane as well. I mean it’s not like I haven’t heard it before, but it still is an incredible emotional experience
This is wild! My friend Chad was an assistant engineer at Grandmaster in the early 00's and he's still friends with Bradley. Alan Dickson was nice enough to let me keep my drums there on the stage for awhile. John Stanier even borrowed (and broke) my kick drum pedal while recording a last-minute track for Tomahawk's "Mit Gas." So if you visited Grandmaster between 2002-2004, my white Mapex P-Series was on that stage in the garage. Memories! Great video!
Would personally love to see a video for Siamese Dream or Melancholy by the Smashing Pumpkins. Either album to me is one of the best sounding rock records all time. Would love a breakdown of any of those songs from either of those two albums.
It was a common practice of bigband-era jazz. Chicago does it on "25 or 6 to 4," and Steely Dan did it on the tune that pays homage to Charlie Parker, "Parker's Band." I never knew it was used in more modern rock tunes like this, though. Way cool! It just goes to show there are no boundaries for creativity.
Hello Warren great video, Love this song Thanks for all the hard work on your videos and knowledge you share with the community. I watch mostly on my PS4 so I don’t get to comment very often.
There’s nothing better than hearing subtle touches in the isolated tracks that totally add to the song. Like the super high, barely audible octave on the verse riff and the ebow thing in the chorus
OMG this was so great to listen in on! Those guitar parts and the double drums! I will look at parking garages very differently in the future :-) One question was what was Daves vocal recording chain on the record? February Stars is a track I’ve obsessed about for a very long time. The warmth in the sound is what vocals need to sound like. Any thoughts Warren?
I don't think people understand, or I hope they do, how amazing it is to get this level of insight and expertise from these gentlemen. I am just pumped to hear their stories and explanations of how it was done... love the foo fighters and I love playing guitar
My day is always made when I see the notification that you put up a new video, I love this series so much. So much detailed information, really fascinating
Wonderful video AGAIN!!! Bradley, dude, you are so awesome for doing these videos with Warren and allowing us to peek behind the curtain on your productions. My deepest appreciation to you both. I am learning so much, its awesome. Thank you guys! 👍
"Back and Forth" on Netflix about this period of the Foo's is really interesting... Pat was about to quit, and Nate was asked to play live, but Dave was gonna be on the tracks, (was a no-go) soon enter Mr Hawkins. One of my favorite songs by these guys, especially the guitars, as you pointed out ...Thanks again Warren!
This song was extremely important to me being into music, even including 'my hero' into user names for video games as a kid. Absolutely legendary content for me.
I love this channel, some of the best insights i've been waiting to hear all my life. Audioslave would be interesting. Radiohead too. Thanks for the videos.
Warren, just when I think you’ve hit it out of the park with your content, you do it again........ and again! Thank you so much !!. This is so important fo the art to have these processes documented
This channel reminds me of vh1 classic albums and we need as many of these possible. This type of insight is super valuable. Especially to preserve history and to educate the next generation.
amazing ,how, showing and analyzing a session like this will help us all in such an extent to be more natural and less "perfect" . For me as a producer this video teach me so much and tx for that...hummm the double drums is just insane idea, gold tips
years of dave being like "no, this song is not about kurt" gets undone by him being like "its about kurt" in one second during this video. haha at 1:38
It just makes sense to go inside this track, it's arguably one of their best. Can't wait to analyze this video. I'm an active recording engineer and totally use these videos for inspiration and love to watch a long while I'm mixing and put different tricks into practice in real time. Couldn't say more about how awesome these videos are.
This stuff is absolute gold! It's so awesome to see and learn about the songs in depth. I've already learned so much and am able to put it in my own music production as well in my own band. We're called First Time Flyer. Hope you dissect one of our songs one day. :)
I appreciate that Bradley doesn't talk over the isolated tracks. I've enjoyed the other guests in this series, but there's a tendency to interrupt before even 10 seconds of the track has been played.
Great insight of a brilliant track, Gil gave me a copy of it when it had just been finished & I listened to it over the weekend on returning to he's home on the Monday I told him I loved it "what's your favourite track" he asked...."My Hero" I replied.😉
Which song would YOU love to hear about? We'll see what we can do next!
We're talking this album or literaly any song ever cuz you're some wizard that can arrage anything?
Ok, if not Alice Cooper, maybe Supertramp's Long Way Home?
Can we get anything about Fleetwood Mac ? The way they came together. And recorded is interesting.
@@lahattec I agree that's an excellent track. The lp version anyway with the harmonica at the end. Heck, anything off Breakfast in America. The production at EMI was 1st rate on that record!!
David Bottrill: Tool - Lateralus. Your pick
This channel is criminally underrated, this should have millions of views!
You’re very kind
+Chris Broxton. Couldn't agree with you more!
Hearing the isolated guitars is just unbelievable. They are so crisp and soulful.
That's my dream guitar tone. It's so balanced, so clear, and so powerful.
You should ask Dave to be in on one of these so we can get his story. He is a great story teller.
thegreatcerebral yes, that would be amazing!
@@Producelikeapro How about a rap-rock cover of My Hero? That drum and bass are so powerful.
I remember coming home from school, listening to this song and running around the forest temple on zelda: ocarina of time for n64! great tune
I literally cried hearing those guitars soloed. Beautiful tones. The arrangement is insane as well. I mean it’s not like I haven’t heard it before, but it still is an incredible emotional experience
This is so great,....these "Inside the Song" vids are like pron for recording nerds.
Thanks Billy! You Rock!
The best category
🤣
What's pron? Some kind of recording nerds' slang?

Omg omg omg, content is just crazy good at the moment! Thank you so much for these inside views!
Aw shucks thanks ever so much Chris!!
Thanks ever so much@@8cspohn!! You Rock!!
Chris Wacker yea. This channel is on fire with these videos coupled with warrens side burns.
This is absolutely incredible. I'd love to hear the full album broken down. I'm a drummer but when those guitars came in......HOLY SHIT!
Would personally love to see a video for Siamese Dream or Melancholy by the Smashing Pumpkins. Either album to me is one of the best sounding rock records all time. Would love a breakdown of any of those songs from either of those two albums.
What a truly marvellous idea Derrick! You Rock!!
Derrick Lugo great idea 💡
Well this would be at the top of my list for sure.
yes anything 90'a alt rock, Toad the wet sprocket?
@@Producelikeapro Toad the wet sprocket?
As a FOO FIGHTERS fan I should say: THANKS WE LOVE YOU WARREN
Thanks ever so much my friend!!
Bradley's grin at 7:05 when you get both whole drum sets cookin'! Priceless!
Yes! Truly amazing!!
One of the few channels that I can give a "like" to before I even watch the video.
Thanks ever so much my friend!!
Bradley's eyes light up when Dave's vox come in . very cool . can't wait to see more!
Please never stop making these! Amazing content
Proutt thanks ever so much my friend!
Hearing him say it's about Kurt . I think we all figured that. Brilliant song. Fukking brilliant
TWO drum kits!!
I know!!! A M A Z I N G !!!

This song is a beast. drum and guitar tracks are dynamite, and the vocals are perfect. Tremendous song. This and Everlong the best Foo Fighters.

The dude straight up said Dave told him that My Hero was about Kurt Cobain that’s pretty gnarly
@Dude Sweet I'm going to assume your comment is sarcastic. clearly you just don't get it
Hello Warren great video,
Love this song
Thanks for all the hard work on your videos and knowledge you share with the community.
I watch mostly on my PS4 so I don’t get to comment very often.
One of my fav FF song. I never knew it was double tracked drums. Amazing.
I know! Amazing!!
UA-cam is good sometimes! Videos like this are such a dream come true for me, thanks so much for making them
Thanks ever so much!! Bradley is very generous with his time and talents and of course, wow! The song, the performances!! All incredible!
OMFG yes! Fantastic song!!
Indeed Holy Smoke! haha Thanks for watching!
There’s nothing better than hearing subtle touches in the isolated tracks that totally add to the song. Like the super high, barely audible octave on the verse riff and the ebow thing in the chorus
Exactly - I'm guessing it's Pat playing a highly distorted guitar through an octave pedal to get that background pling-sound during the verse riff?
So cool hearing how my favorite song growing up was constructed. Big thank you to Bradley.
These inside the song videos are amazing. I could listen to you two talking for a week straight. Gonna put the album on the spinner now. Thank you :-)
Aw shucks! Thanks ever so much!!

One of the best drum sounds ever!
Thank you Bradley and Warren! ☺️
Hi Audrey Sims Thanks ever so much!
Powerful song!
Agreed John!!
2 drum kits! No wonder they have that huge sound!!!!
Can't wait for the Monkey Wrench installment of this series!! Maybe you could get Dave to come in and comment on the making of that one?
this is Masterclass level material Warren, great stuff, thank you man!
Thanks ever so much my friend!!
Coming back to the catalog of videos on this channel has been a pleasure. 2 years later.
So much low end on the guitars. So cool.
Yes, indeed Timmy!!
Your content is insane! Thank you so much for these!! You turned a mundane Monday into an awesome Monday!
Hi Jason Bone was shucks thanks ever so much my friend!!

Thanks ever so much Matt!! You Rock my friend!!
This series is the best thing on the internet as of date!!!!!!
This is PURE GOLD. Thank you so much
Bradley is da man! Love these inside scoops and stories!
Yes, he is Eric!!
I'm loving this Warren! Such great stories and great to hear the recordings!
Thanks ever so much my friend!

Thanks ever so much Sargie!! I really appreciate it!
@@Producelikeapro Audioslave or Rage would be increedddible!!!!!!!!
That would be incredible indeed Rick!!
Paranoid Android would be so cool. That song is so interesting from a production POV, so many cool parts in that song
The guitars are HUGE!
YES!! HUGE!!
Brilliant, just brilliant. So interesting & fun to watch.
Love it! I really enjoy listening to how the guitars were built and panned....Is it common to put a rhythm guitar up the middle?
Thanks ever so much Steve! Yes, Bradley is amazing! I learned so much!!
That phase trick, with starting on inverted and then flip it back just made my day a whole lot better! Thank you for that! :D
Hi Michael Larsen that’s wonderful to hear!!
I was more excited to see this than Game of Thrones
Hufsteter Medina aw shocks! I’ve never watched Game of Thrones! Haha
@@Producelikeapro Me either. LOL

Marvellous idea!
@@Producelikeapro thank you so so much! I always dreamt to know how did CLAlge capture that huge drum sound at "I Get Off" or "Love Bites"
I could die a happy man if you could get Nigel Godrich in to talk about Pyramid Song! ...or any song post the Bends...
Yes! Incredible!!
Warren, just when I think you’ve hit it out of the park with your content, you do it again........ and again! Thank you so much !!. This is so important fo the art to have these processes documented
That bass is everything.
This was truly amazing to watch, thank you so much Warren!
Thanks ever so much my friend!
Thanks for posting this behind-the-scene look at a classic. How much talent is needed to sculpt the sound. Cheers!
Thanks ever so much!
Wow that ebow in the chorus... mind blown
This channel reminds me of vh1 classic albums and we need as many of these possible. This type of insight is super valuable. Especially to preserve history and to educate the next generation.
Wow! Thanks ever so much Chad!
@@Producelikeapro Thank you for the content! I find stuff like this to be endlessly fascinating and inspiring. Keep it up.
Man this album was the soundtrack to my early adulthood in the late 90s, Johnny Parks is a dope tune. Cheers for these insights!
This is GOLD. Thank you!!
Pure gold, thank you for this, I miss the 90's....
amazing ,how, showing and analyzing a session like this will help us all in such an extent to be more natural and less "perfect" . For me as a producer this video teach me so much and tx for that...hummm the double drums is just insane idea, gold tips
Aw shucks thanks ever so much Marcos!! You Rock!!
years of dave being like "no, this song is not about kurt" gets undone by him being like "its about kurt" in one second during this video. haha at 1:38
Love those drums!!!
Love these videos. Told a lot of my musician/engineer friends about them.
Now that I listen for the eBow at the end of the chorus, I can't unhear it!
I never noticed it - so strange!
I love how Bradley asked “Where is that at?” Lol.
Great episode, thanks!
That’s just so cool:) Nothing Left to Lose was one of my first foo fighters albums I owned as a kid. Would love to hear Stacked Actors or Generator.
It just makes sense to go inside this track, it's arguably one of their best. Can't wait to analyze this video. I'm an active recording engineer and totally use these videos for inspiration and love to watch a long while I'm mixing and put different tricks into practice in real time.

Georg Albert Ruthenberg, aka Pat Smear. Our quiet " hero". Who would have thought ....
Wow That Drum sound is Great! Keep the videos coming Warren Send my good vibes to Bradley x :)
Thanks ever so much my friend!
This stuff is absolute gold! It's so awesome to see and learn about the songs in depth. I've already learned so much and am able to put it in my own music production as well in my own band. We're called First Time Flyer. Hope you dissect one of our songs one day. :)
Thanks ever so much Riley! I wish you all the best in your career my friend!!
So how was the panning of his vocals done? They blend so well with everything.
I appreciate that Bradley doesn't talk over the isolated tracks. I've enjoyed the other guests in this series, but there's a tendency to interrupt before even 10 seconds of the track has been played.
I’ve always liked that song but those drum sounds so huge and the guitars sound so nice, it’s giving me a deeper appreciation for it , thanks Warren🤙
Another awesome breakdown! Thanks Warren and thank you Bradley!
Rick beato goes into the song you go into the mix i love it
Wow. Ears. What an amazing concept. To listen to the recording and decide what you like from hearing it.
Wait wut... Dave always denied it was about Kurt. Interesting.
Anymore that can be shared about that?
It probably is about Kurt, but Dave just didn't want to talk about it cuz it's a sensitive topic. Understandable, really.
I am four years late, but so what. This sounds PHENOMENAL!!🥰🥰😍😍😍
My fav FooFighters song. Great insight on recording this.
Another great interview with Bradley, thank you for doing these. Wonderful hearing how these songs are arranged.
Yea, I just came from the "Dave Grohl “My Hero” on the Howard Stern Show in 1999" video where Dave says it's not about Kurt...
It is probably about ordinary people of which Kurt was ultimately one as well. He might not have wanted to speak about Kurt so just avoided the topic.
Yes yes yes!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
YES YES YES my friend!!
Love those videos. Bradley and Gil are Gods. They ve done some of my favourite album ever.
Great insight of a brilliant track, Gil gave me a copy of it when it had just been finished & I listened to it over the weekend on returning to he's home on the Monday I told him I loved it "what's your favourite track" he asked...."My Hero" I replied.😉
Epic lads. Just epic.
Thanks ever so much Andrew!
These are sooo good!
Thanks ever so much!
This guy might not have any eyebrows but damn he sure knows his stuff!
And thank you for this channel, you seem like a cool down to earth dude 😊
This guy is great! The absolute best advice ever on how to dial in the Phase! Thank you both!
in an interview with howard stern he said it's not about kurt cobain. it's about ordinary people being heroes not celebs like kurt
my body is ready! thank you!
You are on fire warren. This is an awesome series
Thanks ever so much Ryan!!
Would be awesome to watch an episode for any Elliott Smith song.
Marvellous idea!
Thank you guys once again for this. Really cool to hear this one broken down. Didn't even think about the use of an Ebow.
I know! Amazing!!
wonderful, wish these vids were more detailed and longer, maybe offer a deeper version, thanks warren and brad!
Happy to make them longer!!
Easily best FF album, great rundown!
