Hotter than hell by kiss

[@kingloser4198]

Something from NIN, Killing Joke, Mogwai, PJ Harvey, QoTSA, RATM, or Tool would be cool. As in, one of them.. but if you can get them all.. that'd be good :)

[@peterbrandt7911]

MM - Antichrist Superstar NiN - Pretty Hate Machine DM - Violator Cure - Disintegration Dead can Dance - Within a realm of a dying song U2 - Joshua Tree Bauhaus - anyone :) New Order - Movement or Low Life Joy Division - Not many choices Cocteau Twins - Treasure Radiohead - Paranoid A. Sigur Ros - [] :))))) Thanks for asking. P.S. Speaking of american music: Gun Club: Miami

[@kingloser4198]

Oh I meant to say Sylvia Massy and Tool's Undertow would be AMAZING

[@fxflynn111]

Still waiting on American idiot!

[@atomicsun72]

Thank you for doing this album. I'm yet to actually meet anybody that likes this album as much as I do, so it's great to see it getting the love, respect and attention it deserves.

[@theghosttourmusic7156]

One of the best ever!

[@gemevieya]

@@theghosttourmusic7156 Absolutely agree. One of the best albums ever made!

[@Mikeyski4]

My favorite album of the 90s. One of my favorite albums ever. And I'm not even that big of a CC fan. But that album is just basically perfection.

[@gemevieya]

Massively underrated album. One of the best records of the 90s!

[@Producelikeapro]

Agreed 100%! Masterpiece! Thanks ever so much

[@fuzzy8mike]

Didn’t realise what a great album this is. I must visit iTunes and make the purchase. It was only last week that I was listening to Mr Jones , first time I’d listened to this band in years. Then I remembered that the name of the album is “August and Everything After” which is a title that resonates with me. There is everything before August 2017, then there is August 2017 and everything after. That August was a time of the most extreme emotional turmoil, suffocating, very dark and scary stuff. It continued for months, I couldn’t shake it until one day a week into the new year I found out I had a 10cm cancerous tumour on my right kidney. From that day I emerged from the darkness and life took on a new vitality and became wonderful again. I’ve made a full recovery, and August 2017 and everything after has been a time of profound contrast to everything before it. Sorry to waffle on but seeing this kind of like the planets aligning or something. The chances of it would have had to have been slim, after listening to Counting Crows only last week, and realising what the title of the album I was listening to meant to me. All very meaningful. Mmmmm. Waffle waffle blah blah. I really enjoy your presentations. Thank you from down under.

[@sonnybrady3599]

Gone Away good to see your doing well now

[@Producelikeapro]

Just to clarify at 8:00 in the video, the bass amp is the Ampeg B-15 not the Acoustic Amplification B15!

[@theworkdayrelease]

The editor sincerely apologizes 😄

[@Producelikeapro]

The Workday Release haha thanks David!!

[@therealjeff8086]

Thank you, I was freaking out!

[@barryblitzuk]

One of my favourite records of all time! When I saw this video I nearly jumped off the seat with excitement

[@Producelikeapro]

Barry Walker agreed! It’s a masterpiece!!

[@thegooddoctor8479]

One of the few albums that blew me away the first time hearing it - before I ever heard the August album. Epic. Wore it out. The benefit being that my kids remember it playing as well - so it brings back some memories for them as well. Thanks for the back story.

[@markhoskins]

I don't know this band... but I will tomorrow. To the record store!!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Mark Hoskins fantastic!!

[@gary94h]

They have never got enough credit on how good they are. True Artists!

[@willrousseau]

It's so great to see this album getting this kind of recognition. It's been one of my all time favourites ever since I heard it in my teens when I was 13, when it came out. I was obsessed with it for years. I still listen to it. It never gets old. Everything about it is great. Plus, it sounds amazing! Respect and appreciation to Warren for this. You have a new subscriber, mate! Cheers

[@Producelikeapro]

I’m a huge fan of this album!!

[@petedemaggio]

This is one of my top 5 albums ever!!!!! August & Everything After came out when i was 18ish and I learned a lot about songwriting from this band. When Recovering came out it was a 90 degree turn for them (to my ears anyway). It showed me that musicians can change and grow right out of the gate, they dont have to kick the dead horse for 3 albums before trying new things.

[@calfolk7381]

Catapult, Goodnight Liz, and Recovering the Satellites from this album are my must have songs on the setlist when in concert. I have my own dream setlist which covers every album. I’ve seen them 40 times and have the tix stubs to prove it lol.

[@maximeguitar]

Its always funny to me that people who worked on classics album, to them its just another day at the office. So humble, not sure of the song title, dont remember the song….haha. And to us, they are unforgettable masterpieces.

[@simonsmith2642]

This is one of my favorite vids you've made. He is such a cool down to earth non pretentious man. I am rediscovering this album, and this band with a new set of eyes and a whole new appreciation as an adult that I didnt have when it was a new release. Such a great piece of work all around. Cracked me up, the reverb "we opened the door" lol.. Its about as real as it gets in a recording environment.. And he woke him up to sing hes not sleeping anymore hahaha Yes!! what an awesome glimpse of the organic magic... Thank you good Sir.

[@peterdelano8782]

I'd like to think my face looks the same as Warren when I listen to Catapult. Pure joy

[@jasonsimmons7479]

One of my all time favorite albums! Amazing guitar tones! This album made me want to but a telecaster! Thank you for featuring this album! Very good musicianship on this album.

[@tresthomas]

I was watching your Foo Fighters interview with him where you had mentioned this album. Then went back and listened to this album and had hoped you had done a video for it too. Absolutely delighted you had done so! This interview is so good.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much my friend! Yes, I love this album!! Amazing

[@MattLande]

This was a great video. Counting Crows hold an important place in my heart. Thank you for doing this.

[@daveburns8256]

Thanks4sharing.this is amazing.&I love this album from start2finish

[@scottchandler1796]

Love the sound of this record! Killer guitar sound for just using Fender Amps

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes, amazing sounding album my friend!!

[@rainsinvelvet1234]

Haven’t even gotten into the video yet and mashed the like button. One of my fav 90s record by far!

[@Producelikeapro]

Eric Peters mine too!! Love this album!!

[@erad67]

I met Adam once. As 10,000+ people were streaming into the venue for the show, most didn't look back a radio station van as they passed. If they had, they'd have seen Adam giving interviews. One question was "Why do you help so many up and coming bands?" He said he did so in part because maybe some day his band might not be doing so well and then they could maybe help them. He also said if he could get them famous, then there'd be more music he liked on the radio. A bit later he got a phone call from someone, had to be a friend that didn't get a ticket or wasn't on the guest list. So he went to the ticket window himself to get them a ticket. No hiding from the fans! :)

[@DadRockAndGuitars]

How is that I'm just now finding this video!?!? This is such an amazing album and this was incredibly insightful and interesting. Thanks for doing this 👍

[@Producelikeapro]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gary94h]

Still my favorite consecutive albums ever. Not a bad track on either, ive listened to all of them hundreds and hundreds of times.

[@siriusfun]

I'm actually hearing some Gin Blossoms influences - specifically from 'New Miserable Experience' which came out in 1993 and was also a fantastic album.

[@gatherstudio5219]

Had to listen to this album today ispired me to start writing with more dynamics . Again really enjoyed the walk through video ! Huge thanks, MR.Huart!!!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Marvellous idea! I love that band!!

[@rn1jmr]

I loved watching him re-discover these perfect songs that he helped to create. Thank you so much for sharing my love of this album and the band.

[@cscarpaglia]

This was awesome. One of my favorite albums. Very cool story about Adam's vocal takes for I'm Not Sleeping.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi cscarpaglia yes, so amazing!

[@bwall615]

Those guitar tones are awesome. Great video!

[@Producelikeapro]

I agree 100% Brett!!

[@em-rl4ig]

Right on. The guitar tone on Children in Bloom is so incendiary it could almost burn you.

[@buddyalbert5808]

Warren, you keep setting the bar higher. Thank you "ever so much"

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Buddy!

[@mikesparks3398]

as much as i love the "this is how you mix" videos I almost love these videos more!

[@Producelikeapro]

[@KenDoLL666]

How do you not listen to Children In Bloom for 22 years and you helped make it ? Such a good song and Album!!

@Produce Like A Pro Since we're on a 90's ride, I would LOVE to see an inside the Album on Live: Throwing Copper, Matchbox Twenty: Yourself or someone like you and Fuel Sunburn to name a few ;) I LOVE this Channel! I'm always excited to see new videos from you! Thank you so much for all of the priceless knowledge that you continue to share with us all as well as archiving it here on youtube for later generations! I should also touch on how well your videos are edited, including pics for reference. You do our amazing world of music production a great service Sir and so many people like you are not ever suitably thanked for it.. I Thank you! :)

I always comment on how much I like the content on these videos but tbh the production on the videos is fantastic too. I Iove seeing a photo of the studer or the mellotron. Great stuff man

[@sonnydaze7608]

Great to get this notification and take a much needed break. Thank you much, for everything you do.

[@AndrewWisler]

Fantastic album, has had a profound influence on me. I love the way the whole album flows, it’s an absolute masterpiece when listened to in its entirety. I don’t think you touched on the electric guitars used. I’ve always assumed many of the leads were on a Les Paul Jr. ?

[@bennunes967]

The lead guitarist is pretty known for telecasters too so I could really see it being that. The rhythm player is a jr. guy though

[@yobhsiFehT]

[@justinmclaren4268]

Absolutely amazing record that was so dear to my heart. August and everything after created the anticipation and when I played it for the first time... oh my god..., the tone! I’m pumped now, off to crank Angels of the Silences... whoo hoo

[@GeoffBosco]

So here's my meeting Adam Duritz story: My buddy and I took a trip to NYC to see Marcy Playground play a free show at the Bowery Electric. Turns out it's a big event with 20+ bands playing and two different stages, and the thing is organized in part by Adam himself. So when Marcy Playground is playing he comes out to watch and my buddy and I are close to him. And, I'm thinking, "Eh, I kinda like the Counting Crows- if get the chance I'm going to tell him how much I love the song, 'Round Here.'" Sure enough he does and I kind go into star-struck mode and reach to shake his hand and naturally spew out some nervous spiel about how Round Here is one of the great pop songs of the last twenty five-WHOOPS! He's already turned back around and talking to the 23 year-old hottie he was with. The End

[@Robster-1970]

That's quite a story! Sorry that you got dissed. I'm sure that he was like a kid in a candy store at that point with all the women flocking to him.

[@GeoffBosco]

@@Robster-1970 Meh...it is what is. I wasn't really all that upset about it, tbh.

[@flemingbt]

When talking about the bass amp at 8:00 the screenshot is of an Acoustic? Was that correct or was it an Ampeg B15? Great video! By far The Crows are my favorite band ever!!! Thanks for dissecting their album.

[@Producelikeapro]

Ampeg would be correct, not acoustic amplification!

[@theworkdayrelease]

My fault, sorry 😬

[@JeremyHorn]

[@harrywatson5783]

Brilliant record and what a wonderful discussion!! Thank you for sharing. Are we sure that the editor put the correct B-15 photo up at 8:00? I would assume they used an Ampeg B-15, not an Acoustic Amplification B-15??

Previous reports were that the guitar amps on the this record were Dan: Vox ac30/Fender deluxe, David: Matchless dc30/Vox ac30. This also what they played on that tour.

[@ellamennop]

would be amazing to hear about Live - Secret Samadhi. such a distinct sound and holds up so well. (also smashing pumpkins: siamese dream, mellon collie, or adore would be amazing)

[@ellamennop]

also, thank you for doing these. such unique, memorable content. a wonderful way to revisit some music that had such an impact. thank you!

[@nashwpg]

I worked at a studio with the crowes current FOH at the time (exchange studio in winnipeg) and we had a lot of the gear that was used to make this record. the crowes had it all in storage and we shipped it to canada. 1073/1081's, api's, v72's, LA2A/1176's and the craziest mic collection: m49's, u47, c24 (stereo c12!!) c37A's, 4038's...we recorded a ton of cool stuff and even did a session with steve albini in there. mostly punk records: ken mode, propagandhi, union stockyards, dead ranch and a bunch of other stuff. eventually he stopped doing FOH for the band and the gear all went back to them, wonder what it's up to now?

[@timothycbryant]

I was hoping you’d do just a song off this album. So excited about this one.

[@jasontylervaughn]

Could you do The Colour and the Shape? You've done a couple tracks already and you've got the dude to tell the story. February Stars is one of my favorite tracks on that record and I think the record has a variety of tonal ideas and stylistic ideas that are definitive of the time period it was created. Not to mention the engineering and production.

[@BrendanKDavis]

How very cool to discover this! When the band first appeared I did a deep-dive on their background, learned about Adam and Stephen Jenkins coming up in SF. Then a drummer friend from Philosophy class who I was jamming with a little in Athens, GA, got a call that changed his life. His name is Ben Mize and that call was for him to join the band as their new drummer starting with this album. Thanks for making my day, Warren! Re future albums / artists, how’s about the aforementioned Stephen Jenkins and that first monster 3EB record? :D

[@corylee1103]

What’s Ben doing now I saw him in Augusta ga , he was doing a solo deal probably a year after he left the band

[@BrendanKDavis]

@@corylee1103 I wish I knew! I lost touch with him back then and it was pre-internet everywhere of course, so I don’t have a clue.

[@em-rl4ig]

This record still roots me to the spot. Such a different sounding record from The Colour and The Shape and Gil's record with K's Choice, Cocoon Crash.

[@slamcrank]

I'm pretty sure when Bradley said the bass used a B-15, he was referring to an Ampeg B-15, not an Acoustic. I saw them several times just before this album and they were using the old Ampeg B15 fliptop models.

[@timothyryan6018]

Always interesting to hear from someone like Brad, who was there helping create the tracks. Good stuff as usual Warren.. Can you put "Kid A' on your request List? Cheers Mate
