So true. This album often gets lumped in with other records of the time, but it is head and shoulder above most all of them. It is one of the rare 90’s rock records that stands up to anything made in the 60’s or 70’s from a compositional or band performance standpoint. An incredible achievement.

You're right. He's the best I've seen at what he does. Did y'all catch at 1:39:30 Rick brings it back around to his original question? He'd earlier asked about differences between then and now, which Michael seemed to regard as too broad a question. Rick then quickly asked another that was basically, tell us about then, then. Michael talks for a few good minutes about then. I for one had forgotten about how they got here. Now here, Rick is asking what about now? Aha! 😁 Just excellent. I paused this to write a comment, so now to finish this wonderful show.

Michael is an awkward dude, so I would imagine that is picked up by other interviewers adding unnecessary stress to an already stressful activity. Rick speaks his language, is a fantastic patient listener and asks technical questions that really tweak some folks and gets them excited about sharing with someone who truly understands their world. Rick has honed this to a fine art and removed pressure from weird awkward self conscious or even arrogant artists, like Sting, and gotten Golden information from them. Among the best interviewers of my lifetime. You can tell he studied the craft from greats like Dick Cavett who was a pro with no ego whatsoever.

There are the two Material albums Temporary Music 1 & 2 followed by the eclectic in a more pop vane Material ONE DOWN which was produced by Material that Michael also did the cover painting for in 1982 and it predated the Herbie Hancock Rocket album so was wondering if that album had something to do with getting the attention to do the Herbie Hancock production?

Incredible interview. I remember hearing that Beinhorn had essentially forced Fruciante to add more distortion to his sound, but Chad joining the band--a harder hitter and driving the band in a way that they hadn't been driven before--really kind of forced them to play faster and harder. You can hear it all over Mother's Milk, and that's one of the reasons that album is my favorite by them. The other thing that Beinhorn did with bands, was to take them to the next level. The Chili Peppers were considered a liability by EMI due to the drug usage and general unreliability, Soul Asylum were perennially stuck as heirs to the Minneapolis school of Replacements/ Huskers rock, but even by the late 80's, both of those bands either lost their way or broke up and didn't know how to translate underground acclaim to wider audiences, and neither did the major labels. Soundgarden also were the last of the big four Seattle bands to not have their definitive album, as mentioned in this interview, but I feel that this is not mentioned enough. Badmotorfinger is an incredible album, but its heaviness and odd time signatures were not going to break them to a wider audience. What Beinhorn did with Superunknown was make it more accessible and keep the weird time signatures, but in a more palatable way. One of the things that I love about that album is that Chris was finally using his lower, natural speaking register. It can't be a coincidence......Beinhorn must have mentioned that all the high register screamy vocals were just to be used to make a point or as coloration, but not a place to stay for a whole song as Chris often did in the past. Beinhorn dialed back the metal, and as a result, other things (psychedelia, more songwriter/ song oriented things) came to the forefront. As Beinhorn mentions, the Beatles/ Cream thing comes through, but through Chris' filter and style. There is definitely a bluesier thing going on with some of the record. Instead of making Badmotorfinger part 2, Soundgarden made the next step in their career, and I've long felt that Chris' work in both singing and songwriting really came to the forefront, actually, on the Temple Of The Dog album, which I always wanted to hear more of. You hear far more of his lower singing register on that record, and "Say Hello 2 Heaven" just totally nails everything that it is supposed to do. Superunknown, for me (with Dirt being a very close second) wins the award from me for the best album of the four bands. It was as if they waited for the other bands to make their definitive statements, and then gave everything they had. And I'm a huge Nevermind fan. The three dimensionalism, experimentation and sonics are unparalleled on Superunknown. The production is my template of how a rock record should sound, and it is a dream team of Beinhorn, Brendan O Brien and Jason Corsaro (of the Power Station behind all those big 80's albums). I remember buying Superunknown on cassette in 1994, and being shocked that it was on CrO2 tape, which is a higher fidelity and more expensive tape. For the customer! A 70 minute CrO2 tape must have cost the label and therefore the band a massive amount of money. The downside for bands, of course, is that working with Beinhorn was often not their favorite thing. Michael mentioned this deterioration of the relationship between him and the Chili Peppers, and I also remember Chris Cornell, when asked why the band produced Down On The Upside themselves, was because they "got tired of telling the producer no". Beinhorn obviously challenged the bands that he works with, and for me, for the better. But I can understand that the artists feel that their creativity and personality is being stifled and changed by someone. For the listener, I feel that the best possible record is being made.

I don't know if it's nostalgia or not, but that's what our band is trying to recapture, basically what Michael and Rick talks about at the end of this video. Writing and recording music that can transmit emotions and to take their audience on a trip and create their own story with our work as a soundtrack. It's what I used to love listening to groups like Yes, ELP and so many others! It's why we named our band Old School- The Band and named our debut album "Willoughby", a nod to returning to a more perfect world, a simpler time, when music took us on a journey. With a producer like Michael, you've got to trust beyond those moments of personal creative frustrations. Great interview as always, Rick!

Superunknown has always been one of my favorited albums of all time and id argue Soundgarden's best overall record. that drum sound is unmatched. Chris Cornell was able to shine as a songwriter. I love Michaels commitment to his craft, even fighting with the band to achieve the best possible sound. it worked. superunkown is a triumph. I remember being 15 yrs with my discman listening to it on my bus ride to school and getting lost in that ocean of sound. not really understanding what I heard but absolutely worshipping it. I saw Chris on his last tour here at red rocks in colorado. it was them , the mars Volta and NIN headlining. what a fucking show! RIP Chris Cornell.

I remember the band I was playing bass in at the time of “Superunknown” in rehearsal waiting for the drummer to show up. When he finally did he told us, “Listen to this,” and played Black Hole Sun. It was so fresh, unique, and different that it was almost tough process on the first listen, from the cracking drums to the scorching guitar solo to Chris doubling his vocal track with a low whisper on the third chorus. Brilliant! Rest In Peace, CC. 🙏🏻

Probably the best interview on this site to date. While he’s a really interesting interview subject, Beinhorn’s thoughts didn’t always move in predictable ways which had to make maintaining the flow of conversation a challenge at times. I thought Rick was pretty amazing at managing that and the result is amazingly watchable. Bravo! My only disappointment was that his time in Material was not really explored. Bill Laswell is such an interesting guy that I’d have loved to hear more Beinhorn’s experience in that partnership. Oh well, maybe in Part II

rick these interviews are getting better and better, fabulous questions, serious recording/mixing geek out, but then also 30k view context on the industry, budgets, business practices... the ending I didn't want it to end, like the Andy Summer's interview, Micael has blueprinted some amazing pieces of music, so influential, and your interview style and question depth makes my experience as a viewer, amazingly appreciative and most reverent.. I just wish Hendrix was still alive so you could interview him. thank you and blessings to you and your family over the holidays

It's amazing that Micheal Beinhorn when paired with Soundgarden decided to work his ass off to get the perfect sounds, so that he could make the greatest Soundgarden album ever with them. Even if it drove everyone else crazy waiting for him to feel that the sounds were just perfect, because so much of what Michael does is related to feeling the vibration, energy and response of the sounds he is going to record. That anal search for mic placements and testing dozens of microphones exhausts me as a singer. But I'm so thankful that they made the album they did as it is one of my favorite albums of all time.

The best part, where my appreciation of these men grew even more, was when some intrusive sound (cell phone?) occurred around 52:19. Michael apologized, Rick acknowledged it and moved on- but he checked electrical connections or recording time or something. Both dudes went into studio mode for 1 second. PRICELESS!

@@donniev8181 absolutely! They can benefit from the good old recording process. It’s gonna clear up the unnecessary zillion tracks in a session that the mixing engineers have to deal with. Also if the players and the singers are not capable of doing a song from start to finish in couple takes, than this thing is not for them. So I think the quality will rise again. I was lucky enough to make records on tape and the whole thing was a magic. As a musician you gotta be at your best and stay focused at all times.
