To listen to Butch talk about all the things he’s done, the people he’s worked with, and all the good friends he’s made along the way is something I never tire of. I sometimes look back and think about what the 90’s would look like had he not played the huge role he has undertaken over the years, and the accomplishments along the way. He is such a busy guy, and his dedication to the cause has left an indelible mark on music. Respect!!
Always love to hear Butch Vig talking about music, so passionate and inspiring!
This is seriously a fantastic conversation. I could watch about 3 more hours of this.
Butch seems like a really nice amiable guy, his history in music is fascinating and quite diverse.
What an amazing conversation! Congratulations to everyone involved! Thank you very much! 👁️🔥👁️
Fantastic interview! Great questions and host!
great interview and great host !
Butch Vig is a nice guy, so much passion when he talks about music
thank you
Why did i think dude was sugar ray in the thumbnail😂
Cause he looks like Mark McGrath.
Butch, The Mastermind in music!!I'm aching for the new Garbage's album
Brilliant conversation ❤
Intriguing
BUTCH PRODUCING OUR NEW ALBUM?
Butch is the king of dynamics in sonics
i want to see an interviewer have Butch Vig as a guest and NOT ask the same 20 questions about Nevermind that have been asked over the years
lol
Bro keeps calling Wisconsin Wyoming
Thanks for Sing the Sorrow, Butch. That record is underrated by the fools.
Taylor Hawkins is like Roger Taylor and Stewart Copeland in one person
Madison, Wyoming 🤦
Is the outro song a cover of STP Press Play?
Scott believe it or not, I have a few tee shirts like that. Holes, seems broken... Ya, know like the old Jethro Tull tour shirts and such!
I find it interesting how when Billy executive produces for Courtney she kinda sorta sounds like Kim Shattuck
Madison, Wisconsin….not Wyoming 😉😂
Someone once told me Sonic Youth was the Spinal Tap of Punk Rock
That sounds like a compliment to me.
Wonder why Butch never talks about producing House of Pain
Mick Jagger wants me to produce a record for the Stones... Unfortunately he just doesn't know it yet.
What's up with the bobble head?...😂
Tempo-Map...hmmm
Wyoming 😒
How did they find Killdozer? He said Touch & Go Records… shouldn’t be a revelation to a Spin employee. Nirvana WAS an indie band, a total fluke of the industry.
Mark McGrath?
I kept thinking - WHO is that?! You nailed it, thanks.
😂
