Producers Talking About Today’s Music w/ David Bendeth (Paramore, The Warning)

In this episode I interview producer, songwriter, and my friend, David Bendeth.
He has been around music and musicians most of his life as a guitarist, songwriter, producer and A&R executive. Self-taught on guitar before studying at the Berklee School of Music in Boston, he traveled back and forth between London and Toronto in his formative years before going on the road with the likes of drummers Billy Cobham and Lenny White. In 2007, he produced and mixed The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Breaking Benjamin’s Phobia and Paramore’s RIOT amongst others. All three records went Platinum that year. From 2010-2014 he produced and mixed Taking back Sunday, Papa Roach, Forever the Sickest Kids, A Day to Remember, Crystal Bowersox, Kaile Goh, Picture Me Broken, Our Last night, Coldrain, The Letter Black, Takida, Asking Alexandria, Bring Me The Horizon, Of Mice & Men, Sleepwave and Heartist.

David's work on The Warning's Error album- Incredible !!

[@oskarfunes2505]

Monster of an album, very well done

[@jasonremy1627]

Rick: These conversations are probably more important than the interviews with musicians. Guys like Dave are as important to the making of music as guys like Billy Corgan, but no one asks for their stories. This is such an important historical document. You have no idea how important this work is.

[@jorgecorante]

Echoing this sentiment, such great work!

There are podcast interviews with tons of the great producers/engineers. Check out Andrew Talks to Awesome People. You can also watch Pensado’s Place and you’ll find a bunch as well.

[@EricWestphal]

I was so glad David mentioned The Warning. It would be awesome if you'd do a segment on them. I've only seen you mention them once, and only their cover of Enter Sandman. They have quite a few really good originals! They're the future of rock 'n roll and deserve some coverage.

Agreed! Would love to see him react to more of their stuff, do a "What makes The Warning great" video, or even interview them.

[@FranklinOPT]

I came to listen for mentions of The Warning and post a similar comment. Rick, please listen to the new songs by The Warning. I know you’ll do a video or two. They’ve dropped 3 songs that will be on their upcoming album, “Keep Me Fed.” The songs are “Hell You Call a Dream,” “More” and “S!CK.” The Villarreal sisters are great people and their songs and live performances are the real deal.

Rick - You have known David Bendeth for a while. You know his personality. Imagine him locked up for two months with the three Warning ladies from Mexico (20, 18, and 15 years old back then) in the middle of the pandemic, recording an album. They wrote their own songs, played everything themselves, and did all the singing. It was David's job to mold all of the raw talent into great album, which he did. If you want to have another great interview, get David back on with The Warning girls (they are sweethearts} and let them tell stories from the recording sessions. It would be very interesting and lots of fun.

[@alrey1538]

I second that!

Instead of "What makes this song great", how about "What makes this album great" on the album Error by The Warning produced by David. Great interview! Interesting topics. I see how you guys could talk music all week.

[@leonardmottjr1]

The Warning and David Bendeth will go down in rock history.

[@FScottNessler]

The Warning is outstanding. One of the interesting things is you can watch their progression from very young musicians to what they are today. Their cover of Enter the Sandman is inspired. You can see Ale move from 4 string to 5 string bass. I would love to see a few more guitar solos in some of their songs.

[@andgar923]

Rick should really do a 'What Makes This Song Great' if not an entire feature (or interview) on The Warning. So many nuggets and gems within their songs that he'll love, it's as if they watch his vids and apply what they've viewed. They write amazing music and as David mentioned have no fluff either lyrically or musically. Everything has a purpose and nothing is done for the sake of just doing it.

[@bjwnashe5589]

The Warning is the real deal. My favorite hard rock band right now.

[@mikethomas410]

I think David did a GREAT job working with "The Warning". They have tons of very cool songs! I think they really are one of the best rock bands to come along in a long time. Good songwriting, good singing, cool guitars, awesome bass guitar and drums. Everything. For the next album I hope they just keep doing what they've been doing. They nailed it. I like all 3 of their albums now. They're a really special band ✨✨💿✨✨🤩👉👩👩‍🦰👱‍♀🎸🚀🌟

[@alfonsogutierrez1392]

I came across choke, then heard some of queen of the murder scene, error, 21st century blood randomly as they would come up, one day heard their version of enter sandman, kept on getting more into their songs, realized queen of the murder scene was a concept album, saw how they started as little girls, made it to Ellen's show, Berklee, has their prior covers as little girls, opened up for Def Leppard which has been my favorite band along with toto, saw their jam at the ted talk, as little girls...it just keeps coming. Hope Rick Beato gets to do interviews and analysis of their stuff, interact and give them some of his wisdom

The Warning IS the greatest thing to happen in rock music since I was in my 20s in the 1990s. The warning's first two independent albums were AMAZING, in fact their second album is one of the greatest albums of the 21st century imho, but ERROR is EXCEPTIONAL!!! It makes me jump and dance and cry and love and hate... every damn time I listen to it (daily, currently). FWIW I'm a professional musician and I understand very well what the Villarreal sisters have put into what they do and how talented they are, and honestly the most important part, how amazing their songwriting is.

Imo David Bendeth really helped put The Warning over the top. This was awesome... a chance to listen to two longtime music nerds (a good thing!) talk about the music business. Love that they embrace new artists, new technology, etc but still love the 'old stuff' as well. Bravo!

[@kfh1]

I'd love to see Rick analyze some songs from *The Warning's* latest album, *ERROR...* David did a really great job producing and mixing!!!

It is phenomenal, considering they were 10, 12, and 15! Ale was a fourth grader playing *Hysteria* by Muse. All three of them were amazing. Perfect? No. But still jaw dropping. It was so cool to see their classmates singing along to their ORIGINAL LYRICS.

I am here to tell you The Warnings Error is hands down the best album I have heard maybe ever. Dany's vocals are gripping. The tunes are catchy, the lyrics are akin to Rush or any great band ever, Seen Rush, Seen Tull, but the power and emotive delivery of those 3 sisters is pure joy. Absolutely love them. Their prior 2 albums as well are superb. Error is just a pinnacle work of art.

Guys, great interview - so interesting. Dave and The Warning - what a colossal achievement - I'm sure the girls learned lot of things, but I'm pretty sure Dave learned a thing or two along the way too. Talking about amazing guitar players, Tina S, who unfortunatelly hss disappeared from the music scene is/was one of these amazing players. Did you know that Tina S. guitar teacher (jazz-rock guitarist: Renaud Louis-Servais.) also has been Dany from The Warining guitar teacher?

[@MrDeadstu]

Rick, David is correct, your interviews are something different. Your interviews with Sting and Billy Corgan were really engrossing and entertaining.

[@glenishii2022]

I thought they were going to discuss The Warning more, but anyways…I must agree with a lot of the other commenters that you should do some sort of review of the three young sisters from Monterrey, Mexico. They have 3 albums to date, and all of them are incredible considering how old they were when they made the first one. Great lyrics, great sound and arrangements, but what’s most impressive is their musicianship. Again, such accomplished instrument players at such a young age. And I’m assuming they don’t use Autotune or Pro Tools much because they just don’t need it. I’ve seen many of their live videos and got to see them live in Vegas, and they sound great! Although all the sisters can sing, Daniela, the eldest (guitarist and lead vocals), really has a powerful voice. She has great range, clean tones, energy, and awesome facial expressions! From what I can gather, Paulina, the middle sibling, is the primary songwriter and has really done a fantastic job with the lyrics, arrangements, and subjects -as you and David discussed. These young ladies ARE the real deal and it would be nice if you covered them in one of your videos. Aloha!

[@leonardmottjr1]

That is what Rick and David talked about during their interview. That something special we noticed when we all listened to The Warning is the same feeling David was talking about. For me it was their live performances that showed me how special this band is.

I will have to check out The Warning. Paramore is absolute gold, Riot really helped break them big. Misery Business is a staple of alternative rock. The whole album is great, check out Fences for a quick change up.

All of The Warning's music is good, their latest album ERROR is 'next level' for them!!!

[@MrSudeepdas]

Then start from the very beginning - 2013 / 14 or even earlier. Their Enter Sandman cover 2014 when they were 14,12 & 9 years old broke the internet. After that jump to the present to watch their interpretation of the song performed live in Mexico City on 08.29.2022. This interpretation was part of Metallica's Black List released in 2021. And then move onto their originals from 2015 till today. (One thing though always check out the date of performance & their ages). What a story!!!

[@reactionsaccount3955]

Great interview. Just wished he would have talked more about his experiences with The Warning. I have not been excited like this about a rock band in 30 years. Rick should really do a spotlight/interview with them, as their story is incredible, plus they could share a lot of knowledge, on how to use social media and grow as an independent band in the age of the Internet, which they did for years before getting signed recently.

Paramore Riot was an epic album. Insanely good.

[@PTRK490]

Amen! My teenage years. I was 17 when that album came out and it blew my mind when i saw miz biz on mtv.

David mastered my favorite record Lost in the Sound of Separation by Underoath. Sonically and musically it's the best album I've ever heard.

[@jeffhunt2467]

Please make David a regular guest. This was a joy to watch and now I have Feel the Real in my regular rotation!

[@erikb5100]

So, I've enjoyed of all things Beato, but...to learn he's a mutual friend of David's; next level! This is such great news for me!

The Warning is saving rock and roll.

[@biggsly]

Wow, David has had his hands in some great music. Loved hearing that he signed the Cowboy Junkies; such a great, underrated group.

[@thepianocoverman1800]

I like how Rick's voice is in my left ear and David is in my right ear. Makes me feel like I am right there.

[@pissingelk]

Delightful, interesting and informative conversation. Love the job he did recently with The Warning. May I suggest that you look into them deeper for a future video. I'm sure David would love to add to whatever you do revolving around them as well as Jason Flom who signed them to LAVA. Cheers!

Wow David "Feel the Real" Bendeth! One of the classic Jazz Funk tracks!

[@MrCherryJuice]

One of your very best episodes, Rick. This casual chat format is great, particularly with a guest like this, someone who is personable and has something to say. And what a surprise that you even know of David Bendeth and his background. Though his playing is mentioned, it is worth pointing out that he is wickedly good and if you want to hear Jeff Beck coming out of someone else's fingers, David is the man. Thank you. I know many seeing this will not know of Mr. Bendeth, discover so very much and walk away feeling informed and inspired.

Wow ... David Bendeth! "Feel the Real" is such a groundbreaking tune ...

[@Gashzilla666]

You know, despite this being a wonderful conversation with amazing insight, the part where Rick and David start talking about using modern technologies to capture and enhance great songwriting and performance is REALLY the thick of this video. Sometimes, imperfections or happy accidents when recording, ESPECIALLY in the context of modern DAW and digital-based engineering, is a BLESSING. I absolutely love recording and using my DAW, but sometimes I will absolutely keep something that may sound a little raw or slightly off, because those are the things that give the song and recording character. That's where the soul of the tune lives...those are the inside jokes, or boo-boos that truly give a presentation of music its life.

I have that Elvis disc. Bought it when it was released. Fantastic! I bought it for a long road trip with my kids, and I wanted them to hear Elvis. To this day, my kids still listen to that disc.
