For all of you out there who love that flute, can't unhear it or just smile because it amazes you: Watch Qotsa live at Troubadour 2002. That very flute is played gracefully by Alain Johannes on stage. If I am correct it is Dave Grohl's first live appearance with the band and the flute is quite subtle in between Dave's badass drums and Nick's bass. Like a beautiful butterfly floating around in the fast and ecstatic Qotsa universe. I love Josh and Alain for following their inspiration and daring to play outside of the expected. Love.

Thanks for that Peavey Decade anecdote! A few years back, I did some bass reamping for Dani Dettwiler (we were studio neighbours and have an Ampeg). So I did a few passes with the Ampeg and different mics, but also added a track with a 4038 picking up a little 12W Reuther solidstate amp with an 8" speaker. That amp/mic combo sounds massive and kinda has been my secret weapon for highgain guitars for years. He never told me which track made the mix, though...

I don't know what controversy is around this album could be that Josh once said he wanted to do the record by himself and Joe Barresi but the record label wouldn't trust neither of them lol so they choosed Eric which was a great choice at the end, Joe Barresi will be invited to do their next album Lullabies to Paralyze, many of the techniques and tone design in SFTD is very Homme-esque so I think Josh was in charge as well.

@@barneyrubble8255 I live in New Orleans and was out and about during that time. I ran into Trent a few times, and then again worked backstage for a festival for them in 2009. His attitude changed a lot from the 90s till then. It was pretty bad apparently for the New Orleans move, for the other guys. Richard the guitar player at the time(Filter) moved down, and was told he could deliver pizzas. But luckily he had been making his own music, and got signed to getaway from it. Trent saw it as his thing, and from what I know told a lot of guys see it as a favor…or a stepping stone. Then a lot of people were put out, or just on standby doing other gigs. He also took part on a lot of drugs back then…I had friends that rolled up to his house selling over in the garden district. Not to mention Manson was around, as an intern answering phones while working on his album. A lot of guys were trying to get off the ground, and getaway from what I know. Big reason Manson left as two big egos like that weren’t going to work well. I had another friend graduate school in 2001, knock on his studio and got a PA job for over a decade with the band. The art director was a fan site, and they picked him up till 2013. He seem to like to surround himself constantly with younger, in the know talent. Meanwhile he isolate, but I catch him out at say an Anal Cunt show on a Thursday at 12am on studio break…the guys with him were jerks trying to pick up 17 year old girls to bring back to the studio…I got into with one guy. But Trent always kept quiet and did not take part in any of that. But I dunno, seem as he went into With Teeth, he was exhausted doing it all himself…finally let others in more and gave the accolades and soften up once he got sober. From talking to Trent during his peak, then in 2009…way different person. He was very humble and nice later on. And I enjoyed getting to work around him in even a small capacity. He was a very gracious guy, and I had 9hrs to kill with him. Ate lunch, talked logic, Abelton, synths, he asked if I like a picture and generally was very nice and kept an open door policy to his trailer and very hands on friendly in 2009.

They used e-drum cymbals while tracking the kit, so the band could hear reference "cymbals" in playback, and of course later, Dave overdubbed the brass cymbal parts separately. Those rubber cymbal pads produce almost nothing acoustically when struck, so I doubt there was any bleed into the kit mics, given how loud the drums themselves would have been.

Does anyone know the backstory, with regards to the claims/rumours that Eric wasn't involved in the recordings.. ? certainly at the beginning of the video it comes across to me that Eric is clearly trying to clarify that he played a big part in the recording of the tracks. I remember catching it the first time and although I picked up on vibe that he was a little 'miffed', generally he seemed super excited to share the process and it was a great informative video. When it went on to be taken down I suspected the tensions between the parties involved were maybe still a little strained... I'm sure some artists/creators like the processes involved when creating to be shrouded in a little mystery and conversely some are keen to talk and share but I suspect it was a little more than that between Josh and Eric..

there's been some rumor/speculation that Eric was kind of forced on Josh by the record company looking for more sales. That Josh wasn't particularly thrilled to be working with the guy responsible for Third Eye Blind and Smashmouth. Combine that with Daddy Eric moving them out of their hollywood "comfort zone" and the basic assumption is that Josh did as much he could tolerate doing with Eric and wanted to minimize Eric's contribution. Especially when the record became big. I have zero idea how much of any of that is true.
