  Rick you are literally creating history with your channel. In an era where music is made into cheap fast junk food content and noone cares about the magic of it, you interview legends and create HOPE and INSPIRATION. Thank you! Dont give in to robots and the industry people!

  I love how Butch still talks about the Nirvana guys like they’re still kids just making good music, not as this band that’s gonna live forever. He has a real love for them

  Butch is a humble dude and every year (except Covid year) comes back to Madison and does a benefit with local &nbsp;and international musicians for a benefit called Joey&apos;s Song. &nbsp;Dude gives back to the community that continues to RESPECT what this man does with music. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U9XJdd4FlM&amp;t=1397">23:17</a> Miking drums. Rock on Butch Vig.

  I met Butch back in the 90&apos;s when I was working my first bartending job in a thai restaurant and he was on tour playing drums for Garbage and opening for Smashing Pumpkins in Worcester MA at the Centrum. I&apos;ve always loved music and I recognized him when he came in for a Samporo and some take out. I picked his brain a bit about music and Nirvana and he was such a nice guy that we had a nice short conversation and was very humble. He left me a great tip and asked me if I wanted to come to the show after I got off of work. Super nice guy and very talented lots of love and respect to the ALT OG.

  Everyone has already said it, but I gotta double down. Rick, you are going to go down in history as one of the most important historians of rock music. These interviews are priceless. The questions you ask are so precise and beautiful and brings out so many amazing stories and detail. And of course who better than someone who understands and knows the legacy of all these brilliant instruments, tech, and musicology can be the one to make this happen.<br><br>Thank you for being awesome and producing this amazing content.<br><br>And Butch was fascinating to listen to.

  &quot;You can&apos;t record the same guitar multiple times with the same tones.&quot;<br><br>Man, that is some of the best recording advice for working musicians I&apos;ve ever heard.

  You know the interview went well and there is such great rapport between the two when Butch says &quot;let&apos;s do this again&quot;. Yes, please!

  Huge respect for this guy, Butch created 90s rock sound with Gish and later Siamese Dream and Nevermind

  Butch said, “Let’s do this again.” Um, yes please. This was so good. Thank you, Rick. No one is doing interviews like this. I don’t play an instrument, let alone record music, but I loved listening to you two talk about recording equipment and instruments. This and the Billy Corgan interview are my favorites from this channel.
