Its producers such as tom werman, ron nevison, keith olsen and jack Douglas that combined hard rock with amazing power hooks to create a timeless sound commercial yes but absolutely catchy

Fantastic interview. Tom was a great interviewee and a really nice guy. I'll definitely order his book on the strength of this interview.

While I agree with a lot of his points I did notice a couple of contradictory comments. For instance: he lambasted modern music for having no 'humanity' and being too polished/perfect (with which I partly agree, particularly POP) but later stated that he was driving at getting perfect pitch/tempo performances from his artists. ? He also can't proclaim that 'rock music is dead' but then say that he doesn't listen to modern music. There is plenty of really great rock music being recorded/played. It's pretty easy to find too.

I thought the same, there are good new bands out there, I find them all the time, they just won’t have the impact that the bands of the golden era of rock and the industry has changed so much.

The ability for a band to play together as a unit and create a groove and emotion while recording is fast becoming a lost art. There is good music out there today but most of it is far from hit radio and not so easy to find. I miss time signature changes, key changes, instrumental parts, and "auto tuning free" real human vocals!

Great interview

Imagine Tom as a producer of " Be here now "?

Someone needs to interview tom werman and ask him about an album he did in 1985 for a band called HOLLAND the album was little monsters.Need to know more about that album .

His audiobook is tremendous

Frankfurt school influence will never discussed on these channels however we much love this music. I’ll guarantee your viewership would exponentially increase if you address these issues. Get to the bottom of this if you want viewership to explode. Why would high officials/MSM dictate who is good or not. Pete was officially indicted in court for specific pornography. He is not an isolated case. What exactly is the “British Invasion’’? Don’t t get me completely wrong. I love these bands.

Brittish Invasion (what do they call it in England?) and the Laurel Cyn artists were the pinnacle. Was it sound or corporate profit thinking that killed it? Counting Crows and Oasis (a throwback band) were the last gasp. No one will be listening to Taylor swift in 50 years or remembering where they sat at her concert. Nobody talks about David Cassidy's concerts now. Kiss in the 70s was one of the best concerts I ever witnessed (2nd place to The Tubes by a long ways), Cheap Trick opened for them. Grunge was depressing Punk was fun. I'll have to listen to Smiley Smile now. Great interview, Thanks!

Mm. Not a fan of the "rock is dead" stuff. No shredders? Jake Pitts and Jinxx from Black Veil Brides are great shredders. Then there's crowd-pleasing, mainstream rock like King Gizzard. It's all well and good to qualify the statement with, "I haven't sought out new music" but doesn't that defeat the point?

"No Obvious shredders". Is this guy out of touch or what. There are more shredders per capita than at any time on this planet. I stopped watching then.

I would say he means iconic players like you had in the 1970s and 1980s- Van Halen, Vai, Bettencourt etc. There may be youtube shredders and shredders in non-mainstream bands but no one having the cultural impact Van Halen had. Thinking of more modern guys, even Guthrie Govan, Tosin Abasi, Tim Henson- great players but they aren’t known outside niche circles.

And not one original thought in the whole bunch. They're just good guitar players....
