@@davidhan635 In this case I don’t think so. Excerpt from an article on American Songwriter: “According to the band’s 2017 autobiography, This is the Noise That Keeps Me Awake (via The Badger Herald), the name came from a studio journal Vig kept around the time of the band’s formation. The early creative process had apparently been arduous, and he detailed the band working non-stop “without coming up with anything cool … and when you least expect it, it all falls into place.” The last line of his entry, read, “I hope that all this garbage will become something beautiful!”

Butch's memory for details is crazy. I've listened to a LOT of interviews with audio engineers and producers, and they often don't have nearly as detailed a memory of the recording process as Butch does. He's a pleasure to listen to. And Rick does a good job of steering the conversation but still letting Butch have space to tell his amazing stories.

One of the all-time great producers. Butch managed to bring out the best in Nirvana. He didn’t overproduce it he didn’t make it “his“, he just let the band blossom, and he knew the tones and the mics and the mixes that would really draw people in. He’s up there with Matt Lange George Martin, and very limited number of other producers

Madison youth reporting in. Butch and the other members of Spooner were my heroes as a teen. We all thought they would hit it big, especially after the 3.5 star review in Rolling Stone. But it didn't happen. They moved on to Fire Town and then finally earned their due when Shirley Manson showed up and Garbage was formed. Justice served.

Generations of kids since never had that, ie music changing so much in there youth, that shaped who they were Growing up in london as a kid when nirvana came out, we also had prodigy, those two groups shaped 1990s music scenes, and both there albums came out at around the same time.

I knew the clean stuff was an AC-30, the fact that Kurt used Mesa for the hard stuff is impressive. Now I’m not so sure I wanna use my Marshall’s anymore for heavy stuff. I’m gonna buy a 1/2 stack of Mesa either double or triple rectifier 100 watt. Metallica uses Mesa too, so I was leaning towards the change. I always knew this about Mesa, what ever list price is you have to pay, the music store can’t lower it or they will lose their distribution rights. That was my only turnoff to the new product, but oh well, I’m just gonna pay it.
