This demonstrates the value of a good producer. He/she can really make or break a record.

[@mr.brenman2132]

Beinhorn is one of the best out there. So knowledgeable.

[@mayorofthenonsense]

What you learn listening to people like Beinhorn, is how many levels an album like Superunknown is working on. The instruments, gear and the artists themselves don’t tell full story - there are dozens of tiny, deliberate nuances in how things were done which bring out these almost intangible qualities. Beinhorn is talking about making the album a visceral thing with an almost physical dimension to it, which I can totally relate to. The presence, clarity, and dynamic range on elements like the drums and vocals, make you feel as if you’re in the room. We might not be able to define this until we are listening to the various tracks in isolation, but once you hear that detail, you realize how much it is contributing to the finished product.

How funny. I always go back to Sinatra for that very same reason, how he could convey what the song meant to him, to the listener. Thanks for putting this out there, my admiration for Chris Cornell is huge, his different textures made him the best rock singer ever, in my opinion.

[@Whereyouatyo]

I wish he was around to join in on this conversation. R.I.P. Chris!!

[@garykramermusic]

This is a really great interview. Great research, great questions, no cut offs. Love the channel and appreciate you sharing.

Thanks Gary really appreciate that, cheers

Beinhorn rules.

Thank you for these videos

Common pattern in Nevermind, Dirt, and Superunknown is the use of many vocal tracks.

[@FeelingShred]

4:40 is there video about this Out of Phase Speakers method of recording he's describing at this section?

[@mayorofthenonsense]

As regards the question of grunge and Soundgarden being a ‘grunge’ band - I agree with Beinhorn. I actually don’t even think this supposed genre ever existed, but was rather a fabrication of the music/culture industry in order to establish a new sub-culture and thus a new market to exploit. The Seattle bands were more different than they were the same, and the only people who benefited from pigeonholing them all together, were record labels and music journalists.

[@meattooth1303]

Its difficult to not bring up Staley when discussing Chris. My two favorite vocalists of the era. In fact, both are in my top 5 with Jagger, Plant and probably Chris Robinson. What makes Chris stand out over Staley is his versatility, IMO. From purely a 'grung' perspective, I lean towards Staley but from an overall rock singer who would easily fit in with any tune, it is Cornell. My overall favorite has to be Jagger.

[@DizzyDigsDeeper]

Every note that would come out of Staleys mouth had more emotion than any vocalist since.

[@coldacre]

its really easy to not bring up Staley when discussing Cornell. Lame Stayley was boring! he's in the same class as Eddie Vedder. stuck in that era with not much else to offer. one dimensional. "USA" sounding and boring. Cornell was next level because he listened to Buckley & Yorke. and grew.

[@meattooth1303]

@@coldacre heroin destroyed lane. though he did not pass until '02, by the mid-90s he was toast. so many brilliant vocalists of the 90s died in their prime. shannon hoon and bradley nowell were two I really liked. i was never a big nirvana fan but we also lost Kurt. Cornelle, the leader of two powerhouse bands that were popular over the course of 20 years and of course, his solo act was great. for me lane and cornell were on equal planes in the in the early 90s. I also dig Tool's Maynard vocals. tbh, my favorite singer of my generation is Chris Robinson. my favorite 90s singer, songwriter and guitarist is Warren Haynes. these last 3 are still doing well.

Interesting

[@wadebond7679]

Chris' feelings of wanting isolation is understandable...practice guitar or drums and people are cool..start singing and they lose their minds and start forming opinions and moreover nasty words

[@arielmartin4310]

FACTS. And it feels different, because you are the instrument, suddenly every action that you make is unveilded by your physical you. Everytime You nail/fail means the world somehow, maybe because whatever youre singing is intimate, is like getting naked. And all of this maximizes when your singing live😅. And yes, people go so harsh on singers, acting like they should be perfect, inmaculate. I really relate to what Chris felt, and it's a very relaxing thought to me that probably the Best rock vocalist ever had issues and insecurities too.

[@p0llenp0ny]

Sinatra a good singer? I wouldn't even call that singing. More like enthusiastic talking.

[@mr.brenman2132]

Sinatra isn't a singer? First time I've heard that.

[@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ec]

You obviously have never heard a Sinatra song. Funny.

[@coldacre]

just stay away from comments sections please. and put down your drink. FFS
