I totally agree with you, Kevin -- and I appreciate you commenting. It's cathartic for us to share and feel the loss. I wish his attitude was more pervasive in the biz!
So well said, brother. Such a loss. "Worship the process, not the goal" - an amazing statement. So true. We set ourselves up to fail when we focus too much on the end goal (or our vision of it). I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Doing art for art's sake and nothing else. It's inspiring. Thank you for sharing your memories and thoughts on Steve. It means a lot.
Thank you, Ian, first for watching, and second for contributing. A big part of what made Steve special was his outreach to other artists by encouraging and advising. It was a completely different way of going about things. I hope to carry on a small part of that tradition.
@ChadEtchison You definitely are and have been carrying that spirit along. I can tell you that you've inspired me (and I'm sure many others) to keep going and learning and that great things are still possible. Keep on keepin' on. 🤘
Just stumbled on your video via the algorithm. Loved what you had to say. What you described in terms of his ethics is 100% punk rock. And that was Steve through n through. He is missed.
There is no substitue. There really is no one quite like him. He really stood apart, due to his ethical character when dealing with bands. Thank you for commenting.
We just need to be shown the way. I just missed him when I went to school in Missoula. Pixies, Pj Harvey, then I went folk after nevermind and Kurt’s death. I finally picked up Steve’s In Utero mix-so excellent. Steve was ‘Excellence’. The recordings that I have are so unique-it’s sounds like the best version of any band he recorded. Handmade excellence. Thanks for your story-
Thanks for sharing Chad! Your notice and recollection of people and your surroundings is admirable and amazing, a very honoring account of your time there and with him. Thanks for caring about everyone you meet. 💙
Steve was the one outsider I would have trusted to record our music - and dreamed about that happening one day. What an example of excellence and integrity - and loss to the world that we won't get more Shellac music, or all the beautiful, raw albums he would have continued recording.
@@ChadEtchison Thanks man - and thanks for sharing your experiences with him. At least there's loads of music and all kinds of wise interviews to dig into and learn from for a long time.
Crazy that searching up Zoom R24 videos and it led me to here. Sucks Steve is gone. He was a true musician and true to his craft. Nobody could capture sound on tape like he could.
Yes, Chuck, i totally agree. It's very rare that you can spot the engineer on any of the records that he recorded by the drum sound alone. He was also a master at cutting tape. Watching him do it was really impressive.
as a Chicagoan I always thought it was way cool he set up shop here. He could’ve set up anywhere, LA, NYC, Nashville but I guess he stayed here after graduating Northwestern . Perhaps it was due to his disdain for the business? We lost a legend but hopefully all those he influenced will carry the torch for the next generation
Yes, as a Chicagoan, you should be proud. he loved that city and it had a profound effect on him. He detested most other 'high-pressure' cities. I remember him referring to them in that way. I asked him about Londo and his reply was, "Just another high-pressure city." Thanks, 1928!
@@ChadEtchison a question. if i may ask how much differance in opperation from a zoom r 8 as opposed to the larger one u use? i'm a familliar with the anolog recording but this is a new digital world for me
I think we might be being a bit hyperbolic with the word "punk", I feel that people usually are when it comes to Albini, "alternative" certainly, and real "alternative" is certainly influenced by punk and the punk ethos, but it's not actual punk. There are more in music with ethics then just punk, although punk inspired the rock sections with ethics.
Thanks for the great words, etch
Aw, thanks Bill! I hope everything is going well for you! I've missed your presence.
Thanks for sharing your memories.
Thank you for taking the time to watch. You are the kind of guy that helps build people up, just like Albiz.
Thank you for putting musician first, Steve was Musician
He was a GREAT musician. Much like Johnny Ramone, he had one of the great right hands of rock.
Forgot to mention his excellent lyric writing.
Thank you for sharing your personal experience, it's hard to do justice to Steve Albini in a tribute, but I think you managed to do it just right.
Thank you, RR. He was a one of a kind talent and human being.
Steve was and will always be an inspiration. His attitude to recording AND his attitude towards bands is 100% the way it should be.

It truly is -- GIBKEL, handmade excellence, what a great description! That In Utero recording and remix is divine. Salut, friend!

Aw, thanks Holly! It's such a drag that he's not around, doing his thing.
"A PURE Artist with Integrity" as another youtube commenter said.
Thank you for EVERYTHING, Brother Steve! 🙏🙌💔🌎
Yea! i don't think there will be anyone else that can do what he did. Thank you!
It's saving me right now!

It was a great dream -- to get to record with Steve Albini. I'm really sad that you and your band won't get the chance.

@@wychwoodmusic Yes, that is very true. He left a rich legacy behind, that someone can really learn from. It's a tragic loss for all of us.
