Billy +/- cred
Hypothetical situation: You are in a young band and have LUCKED THE FUCK OUt and have met a guy who is buds with BC and he has offered to go in the studio with your band! Is this the best thing to ever happen to your band or what??
This scenario occurred to me over on gumdrop lane aka the O board based on the thread billy working with the veronicas in the studio.. I'll always be an SP fan but honestly, I am not sure I would want his name attached to a project I was working on. Here's a breakdown: Pros: Working with hero Obviously a "pro" Strong pop sensibilities Exposure to a nobody project (mine) Cons: Working with megalomaniac I am not sure i want that exposure for my band. He still has a gaggle of frothing fans who will buy anything he touches, but i imagine this guy and his buddies: http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kx...zhzdo1_500.jpg And what does it say about a band that needs a guy who WAS GREAT... 15 years ago? Would rather take a risk and move forward i guess... My band is not my meal ticket and i can maintain a shred of dignity by not having to sell to MTV audiences (or, thankfully, anyone at all) People I would love to work with: Malkmus, dan snaith, dan deacon (good process even if you don't dig the sound), bradford cox, jonny greenwood, beck, fuckbuttons... am i missing anyone? |

not sure... how much do you think he helps with the other bands he's worked with? Writes a song maybe? Gets behind the boards? The one thing i'd be into would be him adding some overdubs or something more subtle. The line might be anything where he starts to take the reigns which is hard to imagine

i wouldn't do this shit. nowadays, i'm sure his idea of "helping in the studio" is lecturing bands about "how to make it in the industry", and "how different things are today, and what you need to do to get around t**** - more mentoring, than say, focusing on guitar tones, etc.

I've got my own shitty band and if that ever happened I'm sure he'd just walk away scared. We're not into Gay Carnival Music (god whoever coined that term here in netphoria was brilliant).

I would have Billy come in and then I would ask him if he still had Flood's number.
BURN! |

He'd help anyone out in the studio. I think he should stick with that. Make other people's dreadful music.
