I can't remember where I read/heard it now—I think maybe it was the soundopinions audio interview with Butch Vig—but Butch goes into detail about that process and from what I can remember, Butch was talking about all the time they spent trying different amps, getting the compression just right, etc. ...even to the extent of leaving the studio to try other setups (in storage? the instrument store? I forget.) So it was really the engineering that took so long. |

Of course, that's still really obsessive for 15 seconds of clean guitar sound. In hindsight, though, it makes sense. It's an iconic intro for one of the most successful, well-known songs Billy ever did. I guarantee you Today ended up being much bigger than even those two were hoping.

I mean it's still silly. Even if Corgan and Vig are hyper-focused on the tone after 12 hours, 99% of people will hear it and think 'oh, that's a clean guitar'
or not even that, they'll think 'oh, that's a catchy riff' I mean i'm a crazy nerd and just listen to live boots. The most iconic studio SD moment for me is the slight phaser on the Cherub Rock intro |

Butch Vig said, "the intro for Today took a LOT of takes to get the perfect sound and feel". That sounds to me like he's making a point about the number of times Billy had to retry it. Last edited by he/she/it : 08-25-2019 at 04:34 PM. |

Anyway, yes, Billy apparently took a lot of takes. And that could mean 30 minutes at most due to trying different things and discussing it. There's not enough variations of ways to try it that there's anything in hour 2 Billy would be doing that could be different than hour 1, much less hour 12. Since I'd heard straight from the source that most of that time was spent on equipment setup, I figured I'd share. |

As for Jimmy's quote, I'd always wondered about that sort of thing. Even if I was good enough to play his Geek USA part note-for-note, it would be pointless because even Jimmy doesn't devote that much time and mental effort into reproducing his studio takes live.

from adore era recordings: "There are three songs that D'arcy really likes that probably won't make the album. She thinks I'm a fucking idiot for not putting them out.""
anyone know which songs these are? |

A lot of times I've heard him speak, he mentions trying to be faithful to his fills that are 'signature', that are ones he hears back on the radio and wants to copy every time he plays the song, because they're integral to the song, or at least what casual fans perceive as the song* * I'm not sure if I've ranted about this on here before, but jesus christ, the number of fans that, like, want to hear 1979, but don't start cheering until the guitar lick starts, even though JC's been doing the sig drum beat for a while....it's sad |

yeah, and they will think that because corg worked hard to get it right. producing isn't really about amazing a layman who will miss the nuance, it's about not getting him distracted while the important stuff is playing. it's an art. and sometimes you labour over a song intros, even if the work is not gonna be apparent to some guy on a netphoria forum.
