- Another video that has been planned for a very long time...since I first heard the Foo Fighters song “This Is A Call” and found out where it was recorded I really wanted to visit the studio. This is Robert Lang Studios in Seattle where Kurt Cobain and Nirvana recorded their last ever song and the Foo Fighters Dave Grohl recorded their first album entirely on his own. I’m taking you inside the studio for an exclusive tour given by Chris the studio manager and co-owner. Oh, Soundgarden also have been in here and members of Pearl Jam. WHAT?? That’s right. This is THE place in Seattle for established and up and coming artists. oh ya, and apparently it’s haunted! Bit of a ghost story in this video too. Jam-packed.

Foo Fighters is the eponymous debut studio album by American rock band Foo Fighters, released on July 4, 1995 by Roswell and Capitol Records. Dave Grohl wrote and recorded the entire album himself, apart from a guest guitar spot by Greg Dulli, with the assistance of producer Barrett Jones at Robert Lang Studios in Seattle, Washington, in 1994. He claimed that he recorded the album just for fun, describing it as a cathartic experience to recover from the death of Nirvana bandmate Kurt Cobain.
You Know You're Right" is a song by the American rock band Nirvana, written by lead vocalist and guitarist, Kurt Cobain. It is the first song on the band's self-titled greatest hits album and the last song the band recorded before Cobain's death in April 1994. Released as a promo single, "You Know You're Right" reached number one on both Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks and Modern Rock Tracks charts.[ - Zábava
Kurt showed up on the last day without guitar equipment after being a 'no show' on the first two days.. Ernie Bailey luckily had some gear in his vehicle otherwise we might not have the YKYR recording today!
No wonder his guitar tone sounds kind of weird, not to mention a lot of pro tool tweaking I'm sure
@@krisfrederick5001 lol dude they didnt have pro tools running in 94
Wow! Really interesting piece of information. A simple twist of fate that resulted in one of my favourite Nirvana songs... thanks for posting.
@@adamgrimm1523 Are you telling me it was never touched again after 1994? That's what I meant silly, take care.
@@krisfrederick5001 true true
Man, I've learned so much more about nirvana and Kurt Cobain since watching your videos on this topic. I think your doing an awesome thing
1:12 "I'm geeking out. Are you!?" Sounds like a good catch phrase tbh.
Think so? I actually think I’ve said it on a few videos now lol
What an awesome place! Again I'm impressed by your access to the most interesting people and places.
It's too easy for me to tell you how much I like this video but I want to sum it up. This was one of your finest because all of us can see the passion that you have. Thanks Scott. Be safe out there!
Keep up the good work Scott you're becoming one of my favorite CZcams channels I think you have a lot of awesome content just keep up the good work Buddy peace out
Thank you Joe!
Boy, if those walls could talk. And apparently they sometimes do :-) Very cool to inside this studio. So glad you were able to get such a person tour and to visit such an important place in music history!
Great video man... really enjoyed it. Everyone seems really cool and nice, Robert, Chris, and not forgetting Sam the intern : )
Robert seems like such an interesting and cool character... that alone would make me want to record there... Just the spirit of the guy... Amazing!
Robert is one of a kind! I would love to hear your music some day !
@@SCOTTONTAPE With the grace of God... Some day my music will get out there... And I'll get to record in place like Robert Lang Studios... All the best dude... and thanks for the reply : )
Hi Scott so happy you came to my city we love your channel here in seattle keep up the great content bro
Pat wasn't part of the last session. Thank you for this amazing tour! One of a kind video!
Cool video Scott. Some of my favourite bands recorded records there, Queensryche, Alice in chains , Soundgarden and I just checked an old Presidents of the U.S.A albums and that was recorded too . Amazing . Hopefully more to come too! Thanks for posting man
What a life man ! U see and have been to some of the coolest places on earth thanks for bringing us along!! Scott your the man!!
Robert Lang looks like Christopher Walken after being up for two weeks on Meth.
Lolol
He reminded me of Sig Hansen from The Deadliest Catch, also.
Frankenstein's monster never scared me.......
I love that guy! Too funny
Who else wishes they could get to Seattle and record here?
Me!
Hell yes.
Yes i plan on it id like to know their prices.
I would love to go do music at the 114 Pear Street Apartment House where Kurt Cobain lived and Produced. He lived there with Tracy Marander and after she left Dave Grohl moved in with Kurt. I feel a sx no sense of love and warmth about that place and I love Bleach Era Kurt Cobain!
I did record there! 2002
Totally Awesome Scott !!! Loved , Loved , Loved your vlog how amazing to get to be at Robert Lang Studios where a lot of the Greats recorded !!! Thank You so much for sharing your interviews & experience there .☮️ Out My Friend 🌹
So cool those guys let you in and were happy to share. Very awesome video!!
If you listen to all the Foo Fighters' albums side by side, all the recordings after the first were much more polished and produced. I do enjoy a good chunk of their music, but I connect to the first record the most by far. It's the most punk rock and raw, but well-written songs and well-performed. I think a lot of that overproduction isn't needed for their music.
Their first album is definitely my favorite as well . And then certain songs from every album after. They have a great catalogue of hits
Yea man.. that first record is great. I love the drum sound
Holy cow, amazing!!! This was great fun, I loved seeing your excitement in this video. So freaking awesome!
when grunge alternative music came out when I was still in high school I pumped up my Camaros speaker s with Nirvana an Soundgarden driving around plus it was cool the guy mentioned candlebox . This a kick A#@ss video 📷📷 Scott you deserve millions of subscribers ., you been blowing these videos away ..
I can’t imagine you being such a big fan how awesome this was for you! Congrats great video!
Really nice Scotty. Bob and Chris were so friendly. You sure know your stuff about all those bands and you were so happy being there. “Hallowed Ground” I know exactly what you mean. One can really feel the presence of the people they love. Everything comes to life in the mind. That’s my feeling. Not sure what other people think. The studio is really cool. Maybe one day you can record a song for us.😎 All the best. Stay safe. Take care. Love from all of us. ❤️✌🏼💕
What a beautiful recording studio! I would give anything to record again😕 you needs a couple of hundred dollars 💵 to record in a studio. I payed $500 for 1 hour to make my demo back in high school for 3 songs😔 Man, back in 2001 was the best days of my life! This was so awesome Scott thank you so much! You are amazing my friend🙂 I’m gonna tell all my Pittsburgh peeps and family to watch your vids! Keep on rocking😆🥰❤️👍🏻
We are the same generation. I miss those days
Wow, I'm diggin these vids of nirvana. This one is cool, I like the economy chamber, mixing board, etc. Very informative. I'm sure the members of Nirvana enjoyed recording at this luxurious studio. Very cool, and you always leave no stone unturned when asking questions and exploring. I grew up listening to many of the bands you all mentioned. Fun nastalgia, and the music still sounds great even today.
Thank you so much ! I always have a million questions but i don’t write any down as I like my conversations to be organic and not forced and I always forget to ask some . Really appreciate the comment!
Lucky studio. I bet there were plenty, many good moments, memories, stories, experiences, jokes, smiles, laughs, etc. Most importantly the music. 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Glad I found your page. Cheers, man.
I need to take a trip to do the whole cobain thing. Very cool!
Wow awesome interview ! Thanks for sharing this ! You are very good to ask for the right questions so that we fully know the details regarding these passionate stories! Kindest Regards from François in Montreal, Canada! 🎼🃏🎶🎵💯👏👏👏👻🌠
Very cool video.!!!! I wish I could travel like that, I would go to allllll the cool places that you go to...wait I dont have to...thats what we watch you for !!!!! Keep them comin' !!!
Great vlog Scott! When you get back home, can we see more of Shady? lol
Great job getting in there and awesome Vlog!
LOVE your videos Scott....especially the ones on Nirvana. What I really like is how ‘real’ you are and your guests. Thanks!
Thank you I really really appreciate that ✌🏽✌🏿
Very cool video Scott x
I loved this one. Do more haunted places Scott!
Another brilliant video, thank you Scott.
You're such an amazing historian... Mad respect to you Scott!!
I am a little late to the show, but CZcams decided to show this to me today. Thanks for the virtual tour. I would love to see the place in person. I did a collab with Andrew Wood's fiance Xana La Fuente that's about as close as I ever got to any part of that. I definitely subscribed as I want to see more of what you got.
Scott great job again. Cheers James
Great vlog learned alot from this keep doing what you do and be safe out there
That's great, thanks for doing this man. I'm just eatin this up, tryin to learn as much as I can. Kurt died 20 days before I was born, so it's really weird for me to learn about this. I feel obliged to learn about him though and carry on some of his spirit
Good for you man. I’m happy you got to experience that. Maybe one day I’ll get up there
I hope you get to experience it as well man. It’s a great place .
thanks for the awesome tour. thumbs up
Excellent Blog!!! Thank You!!!
Lmao @ the beginning of the video w Robert...you sounded a lil uncomfortable there 😁
I love the studio so much, just a beautiful building!
Great stuff Scott. Foos live version Molly's lips with krist in Seattle Sept brilliant. Keep up the good work mate. Very good.
I watched this after todays video! What a beautiful studio!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us, I love and miss Kurt so much i’m hoping to make it to his memorial someday :)
You are very welcome and I hope you get to make it there too someday ✌🏽✌🏿
Now that is just to cool. Great job!
Awsome video bro!😁
wow nice job man ! I'm happy for you , it's a great experience !
Thank you so much it was amazing !
@@SCOTTONTAPE no wonder haha ! i'am French (apologise in advance for my mistakes) and i'm like you , i'am very fond of Nirvana, Foo F etc.. and several times I also thought to travel and discover the places where were my idols, and you know I'am sure someday I'll go to the USA because i'am musician, and then my mother lived in the USA so it helps me ^^ I like your channel, you have a new subscribers !
Beautiful studio. Thanks for the tour.
You’re welcome and thank you for watching !
AMASING! SCOTT!! thank you buddy!!!!
great content as always scott.
Thank you so much man
@@SCOTTONTAPE thank you for the footage man. it keeps me entertained every night!
I enjoyed your tour of RLS there in Seattle, Scott. I had heard of the studio (via Nirvana, etc.) before but I'd never seen any photos of it. I never knew that the 1st Foo Fighters album was recorded there ?! I had thought it was recorded at Dave Grohl's home studio or somewhere else. Seem like a bunch great guys who work there.
Ever since I heard about the studio in the 90’s I dreamed of going. Thank you for watching Steve !
Dude you have the coolest life Scott😁 I’m jealous..I’m not even kidding you are like living my dream traveling and seeing all these places
Aww thank you Kate. I hope you get to visit these places one day.
Yeah me too.. once all my kiddos grow up and leave the nest😎
Great studio!! Love your videos my friend!! So interesting!! Such a nice man!! Great ghost stories!! Love you and your channel!! Your great!! God bless!! Peace!! 💜💜💖💖💕💕💙💙❤️❤️🙏🙏💖💖✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Very cool video! Respect. From Portland OR.
Thanks Skip!
Awesome Scott
Wow, what a great video!
Be still my heart! Robert Lang studio is the epitome of old school recording. Real music comes out of there, not all that the digital junk of today. I am incredibly happy for you that you were able to have such an unforgettable experience and yet be jealous at the same time!
Just like Robert to open his doors to engineering students to learn, how cool is that!
Love, love, love it! Love and peace sweetie...
> the epitome of old school recording
And here I thought that was Sound City.
@Cicada 3301 All those genres used to be analog goodness and not digital junk.
@Cicada 3301 Or maybe analog sequencers and tape.
@Cicada 3301 Still analog even digitally controlled.
@Cicada 3301 I love both of those drummachines and love digital stuff! I've got 80s digital/analog hybrid synths and digital delays and reverbs on the rack! Only great music matters!
Dude, thank you so much for all these Nirvana/Kurt videos, these were all really awesome
Hey there, you are so welcome . I’m happy you enjoyed them . I have some more Seattle ones still to come so I hope you subscribed. Thanks for the nice comment✌🏿✌🏽
Wow 😮 that awesome and I love nirvana so much and awesome and amazing video Scott and so much love to you
I love your videos... From Nirvana to the Halloween locations.
Thank you Thomas !
Dave is one of the most down to earth and funny/goofball an cool/chill person ever.. back in 92 when they hit it big he bought his first home here in my area on the outer banks of NC an the best part is he basically lived here during a good part of 92 and would literally hangout at a places called Mex-Econo’s in kill devil hills NC an he would literally act like one of the guys an didn’t act like his crap didn’t stink.. just like he said in the video they are just regular people with different jobs..
Dave’s mom Virginia and sister Lisa would stay here with him a lot and His sister Lisa actually was cool lol she would work the door at night bc Mex-Econo was a place that played a lot of underground music and had the best fish tacos ever 👍🏻
She was dating one of the co owners also but seriously Dave was awesome and would shoot pool an even jump on the drums every now an then..
I need to dig in my storage an see if I can old pictures an some video of it..
it always makes me smile when I see a picture of Dave while in Nirvana sporting that Mex-Econo hat lol actually that one big Nirvana poster you can see it it’s that one picture where Kurt’s in the middle and Krist and Dave are behind him but Krist is leaning out from behind Kurt in Kurt’s right side and opposite for Dave
I forgot to mention Dave’s mom actually owned a bagel shop here on the outer banks of NC and his sister Lisa lived in his Outer Banks home for a good while when Dave wasn’t around but sadly after Dave’s divorce his wife got the house and sold it around 2003 or 2004 bc I remember she sold his hot tub in the classified back then an I still have it bc she labeled it as Dave Grohls old hot tub for sale so it would sale quick 😂 😂 he also wrote a Foo song that was inspired by the golden sand dunes outside his beach house old Carolina 👌🏻 and he learned to surf here back in 92 I read an article about that like a year ago and also he had been cooking BBQ lately and did a podcast on a cooking show or something like that an mentioned how he would eat Carolina BBQ 24/7 when he lived here an when he moved away he couldn’t find BBQ that tasted like real Carolina BBQ so it inspired him to start cooking lol which is awesome
@@DrRawBalls_TheDummy nice stories! The hat you've mentioned (mex econo) is the one that Dave's wearing during the Argentina's show (1992). Cheers!
Luis Verna yes the Argentina show 👌🏻 👍🏻 that’s the one lol
Very cool, man... I am geeking out!! Trust me. Cheers man
sad to hear Robert isn't feeling ok... hope he's doing better
and to finish with a slightly drunken flourish- I am a huge fan of SSL boards with a couple of Neve strips on the side
He’s doing much better yes.
Wow you know a lot more than I do that’s for sure!
Thank you so much Danoz!
I just drove by here. I could totally feel the vibe. The ocean is right across.
Great Video! I just drove past RLS yesterday, how did you get to go inside?
He looks like the failed clone of every dude on Jersey shore combined
He looks like Bert from Sesame Street after a 24 hour meth binge
@@SCOTTONTAPE that was good man
I love your vids man
Thanks so much Lucas ✌🏽✌🏿
Amazing video again of Curt ....
What a place! When he did that clap.....gave me goosebumps! 👍😊
Geek out totally awesome. Love the building really cool looking
yay .....love ya videos man huge fan
Thank you so much Regan I really appreciate that. This was an amazing experience to get inside there.
I really like February Stars.
This was AMAZING ! So much musical history in one spot. Love Nirvana and LOVE the Foo Fighters. GeekFEST :-D:-D:-D:-D time.
Brilliant video 👌👍👍👍
Thanks so much!
great video man. really enjoyed this. sub and like!
Thanks so much Richard !
Spunky Scott, how are you beautiful man
rocking adam audio.. nice !
I subscribed! I have great content! Cheers
Awesome!!!
Robert seems like such a nice, down to earth guy!
That place just LOOKS haunted!
What a cool building
that looks like a really nice area
This was so damn cool!!!!
Awesome 👍 👍😁 😊 thank you brother..........
This is very cool! If you’re into punk rock, as I am, you’re probably into reggae as well. The coolest thing, to me, about this video, besides the Nirvana/Foo Fighters stuff is Damian Marley. I’d have to make a whole video about that! I have to look up more about that now... ✌️
Ya look that up and get back to me I’m curious to know !
SCOTT ON TAPE I looked it up a bit. Nothing found so far.
You know your right one of my fav nirvana songs
Love that song!
very cool!
when you are in Edmonton I would like you to see a ghost up close and personal .. the ghost is that of a young man that committed suicide .. I saw him many times ... moved away from that neighborhood because I was tired of that ghost looking at me threw the living room window .. I'm sure that lost soul is still there .. seeing him will confirm to you that we live on after death
When Robert fucking Lang says I love you, u fucking say I love u too!!!!!😆 Another awesome vid Scott👍
Dam.yur videos are excellent
Thank you so much
If its anything about Nirvana's ...about Kurt's.. i'm with you Scott 🤘🤘⚡⚡
yip that drumroom and dai grohl got in my dna too back when music still had hope lol, one guy playing it all and kicking sonic ass, how long would it take me to get there from swansea uk by boat, i could do 4 songs in a day no prob, scott you in
This one is more eerie for some reason..Nirvana ended and Foo Fighters began in the same room over the same session, essentially. I knew Kurt had liked some of Dave's songs that he had heard. Obviously that's why Marigold ended up being released by Nirvana. P.S. I wrote that before he started talking about ghosts.
Mixing desk is very simple, every vertical column of knobs is exactly the same
It confused the hell out of me lol
Love the video friend. One critic, buy a $100 DJI Osmo Mobile 3. The studio is near perfect with great acoustics.
I’ll look into it !
Imagine living across the street from this spot.
so cool what I'd give to record an album their
Very cool 😁👍👍
Thank you ✌🏽✌🏿
Thank you so much ✌🏽✌🏿
18:20 +/- I think that actually may be Foo Fighters in between the first two albums. They recorded some demos and b-sides there, such as Down In The Park on the X-Files album.
Their cover of Down in the Park is such a GREAT SONG!!
