Hi Friends! In this video we discuss the Foo Fighters song “Everlong” with, Bradley Cook, the man who recorded it! Who better to get some insight into the song than him? Everlong was one of the biggest songs of the ’90s! It’s a staple of indie rock and an absolute classic! - Thanks Bradley! He’s going to “spill all the beans!”. We were lucky to be able to have some of the elements to listen to during our chat, this is very very exciting!

Thank you Bradley and Warren! It was great seeing his reaction re-hearing the stems for the first time. I hope Warren gets you back to hear more from your work, specifically RATED R and CORAL FANG (2 albums of my youth). Even without the stems- I'd just love some stories.

Lovely video, its always a treat to hear elements of songs and to hear the stories of how they were recorded from someone who was actually there! Amazing how Bradley considers it a 'play it safe' recording and perhaps just illustrates how important the song and arrangement and musicianship really are to a track. Great stuff!

Hi Warren, is there any way to find out how drums were recorded in regards to mic placement? My main reason for that question is not much leakage in top snare and hh mics. Were they separated by any sort of foam or board, etc? Was hh set up as far from the snare as possible? We know that Dave is a loud drummer, but maybe he recorded that particular song with extreme dynamics keeping hh pretty soft and smashing that snare? :) That's how I often record drums. Hope you're good and thank you for an amazing lessons and priceless information.

My favourite telephone recording is by H.R. from Bad Brains. I would imagine that Dave would have been inspired somehow by them. In 1986 H.R. was arrested and convicted on marijuana distributions charges. Rather than scrap the album or wait until H.R.’s release from prison, the band kept the recording sessions in Massachusetts going at the encouragement of producer Ron Saint Germain. H.R. provided the vocals for the song “Sacred Love” over the phone from Lorton Reformatory in Laurel Hill, Virginia. H.R. unscrewed the mouthpiece of the telephone so that there could be no background noise and sang into it.

Late to the party, but I came here after Rick Beato’s What Makes this Song Great. Everlong is one of my FF favorites and I bought this album when it was first released back in the day, but now that I am involuntarily separated and going through an unwanted divorce, I seek this song out as it resonates. I was in shock like everyone else to discover there were female vocals and it was awesome to finally know what was being whispered. Thank you for this awesome breakdown of an amazing song. Some of the details you are discussing are like a foreign language, but seem like an art form of its own. Love this series!

He produced, mixed and mastered my band’s (The Pilot Waves) debut record ‘AION’. But along with ‘The Colour and the Shape’ there are many classics on his walls. Great to hear these stories, and an awesome full-circle music moment for me, getting to work with someone who was intimately involved in making this record. A record I played incessantly on repeat in high school, teaching myself guitar and drums to. If you’re a musician in the Tampa Bay Area, I 100% recommend going to Candor and working with Ryan for an awesome recording experience with a true professional that knows how to make a record 🤘🤘

Can we have "Inside the song: Audioslave - Cochise" I cant find anywhere about audioslave being in the studio and with Chris Cornell gone, it would be an absolute pleasure to see how that anthem was recorded.

I loved that song when it came out in 1997. I love it even more now in 2019.. Man that song brings back memories. Thanks Foo Fighters!

This makes me cry. I don’t understand anything about engineering a record, and most of this interview was like listening to a foreign language, but hearing the individual tracks and the explanations for how this genius happened is incredible.

This is breaking my mind. There is so much to unpack from this song. Please, can you have Bradley Cook dissect more songs from Foo Fighters? Or any other songs he recorded? That would be amazing.

One of the first riffs I learned how to play. I couldn’t get over how really simple it was to actually play. Gotta love the drop D

Awesome interview, thank to both of you! What I found so cool is that, as Bradley said, they used very standard techniques and mics - yet the result is one of the most iconic and great sounding songs EVER. It just shows what a great band, great song, and solid engineering can do to capture the moment. Oh, and as a drummer myself, I constantly have the hugest respect for Dave Grohl reinforced every time I hear one of his drum tracks isolated. The guy is so consistent and hard hitting and creative ... perfect.

As a "bedroom" producer, things like these are so friggin cool to see! Always wanted to know what Dave was saying in that interlude. I thought he was having some emotional conversation with a significant other or somethin, but nope, just retelling a story lol

Wow! A song I had known ever since its release, and I'd never noticed the female vox mimicking that guitar part nor realised it was a woman's voice singing the harmonies in the chorus (as I remember Pat doing this live). Louise Post is/was in Veruca Salt, if I remember correctly. Just goes to show what difference it can make when listening to stuff through headphones; Not long ago I discovered little details in The Police's 'Zenyatta Mondatta' album which I had never heard before, and it was one of my first LP records ever, had bought it nearly 40 years ago! :-)) Thank you for this very interesting upload!!

Awesome content, Warren. Main takeaway for me is how much intention there is in the performances. Dave knew exactly what he wanted and performed it to tape with probably little to no editing. This is the record making process we all should be striving for. We need more of these! :)

Absolutely Fantastic! Please make this a new segment with all your producer and engineer buddies and keep it low key, informal and shot from the hip. It was great to see Bradley's surprise at hearing little nuggets in the recording. Imagine what you could come up with Shelly, Jack, and a myriad of other great engineers and producers. You're the keeper of the flame for their legacies. Thanks, Warren!
