Michael Beinhorn: A MOVING CHRIS CORNELL STORY
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 06. 2024
- On this in-depth Michael Beinhorn interview, Michael explains how he went from being a synth player in Material, a local Manhattan band… to co-writing, playing and producing Herbie Hancock’s smash hit, Rockit! Dealing with divorce, moving cross country, getting fired from his band, the unethical aspect of the music business… his reputation for firing drummers, working with Herbie Hancock, Red Hot Chili Peppers Soul Asylum, Ozzy Osbourne (and why Ozzy hated being in the studio), Mike Ness (Social Distortion), Chris Cornell, Soundgarden, Marilyn Manson, Twiggy (from Manson’s band), Hole… the challenge about being creative that many artists face once they become successful (VERY interesting), an incredibly helpful discussion about faulty belief systems and how they, unfortunately, rule and ruin, so many of our lives, and LOADS more. INCREDIBLY inspirational, great conversation, this one’s a MUST:

This man is a treasure and a treat to listen to!
Yes, I agree @Glurbschnurb - thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
Yah I like listening too
Great interview, I played(sax) with Michael on the first Material album and have been in awe of his creative career! Learned good stuff here,as Im still listening!
Fascinating man. Anthony, Flea, Hillel, Jack! I couldn't believe my ears and my eyes. Thank you Mr. Beinhorn for your contributions to some of my favorite music. So many great bands. You bring out the best
Thank you for listening @bongofury333! 🎉🔥😇
This man is my spirit animal. I have been having the fight about AIFF files on my computer since CD's came out. No WAV's no MP3's - the only music on my computer has been directly pulled as native files from CD's. His take on mindset and the stories we tell ourselves and how they can make or break us is amazing. I now have a new person to add to the list of people I would like to have dinner with to pick their brain. Sure, I love a lot of the music he had a hand in creating and guiding but his philosophies are inspiring. I ordered his book while listening to this interview. Thanks for posting, for feeding him excellent questions and caring about music on a level that reminds of being in the 70's and devouring liner notes.
Thanks for your kind words @paulseitz672 and glad you enjoyed this 👍🏻🎸♫
As a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer this was a great enforcement of my ideals. Especially since Superunknown is my biblical standard front to back. Kudos for this great interview. At 50 I have an intuition my best work is ahead of me as far as a personal best rather than commercial. Michael has produced\involved with more favorite records than any other producer alive or passed.
Thanks for your kind words @cruedevil71 and glad you enjoyed this 👍🏻🎸♫
Ditto
That mic proximity to Chris’s vocals captured the most personal qualities and made those records so much more authentic. So glad MB produced Superunknown, a true masterpiece.
Yes, I agree @barnabu5 - thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
It’s amazing, those little details, like the expulsion of air after certain lines add so much light & contrast to the power within the other musical elements. So well balanced, such great songs! Great interview too 👍
If my numbers came in tonight, Michael is the guy I'd hire to produce our record.. he's a genius
Yes, I agree @stuartcarswell2815 - thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
Never judge a book by it's cover is not the same as taking a listen to a demo from a band that has no idea what they are doing or even more importantly what they want to do. This guy has worked from ozzy to the TRHCPs. He's obviously incredible at what he does. If I was(still) a recording artist I would be so grateful to work with someone with this much insight. I woke up to the beginning of this with my headphones already on. I'm wearing a TRHCP T-shirt for the very first time in my life, I put it on last night before going to sleep) and listening to him talk about Mother's Milk, I already knew that's what he was talking about. On cue I have OZZY Live at the Buddakan coming up next to get moving. Life is very serendipitous. I had a cat named FLEA for 18 years and just watched a 90s Pepper performance of them doing a Donna Summers number and all of this back story really shows you how much a producer/engineer influennce has over the outcome of a triple platnum album that is totally different than what the band, record company the band and the fans could ever fathum but genuinely love it.
Thanks @DaveClark-ib6sp, Rock on! 🎸🙌🏻🔥🎶 And thanks for listening!
Michael was in NYC at a very special time and was plugged into a great scene of super talented visionary artists. What he did with that is amazing and evolutionary.
Yes, I agree @andrewSUN17 - thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
This is an incredible interview. I was aware of Michael from being a huge Soundgarden fan, but to hear his philosophy and mindset made me appreciate him so much more. Kudos for being such a great interviewer and asking well crafted and thought out questions.
Thanks for your kind words Sergio M and glad you enjoyed this 👍🏻🎸♫
Agreed...Great job!
Beinhorn has great insights. The comment about how pop music is not taken seriously, and what it implies, really is a major eye opener. Thanks for this interview.
Thank you for listening Geoff Escandon! 🎉🔥😇
I enjoy hearing from the producer about their mindset, technical side and getting the best out of artists.
Admittedly had never heard his name before but definitely had heard his work. Great interview!
Thank you for listening @toyetoyetoye! 🎉🔥😇
when i lived as a teenager the song Rock it by herby hancock was the sublime,,,it formed my brain i played it over and over and it was fitting as the music of its break dancing time or era,,,
Yes, I agree @rexchiquine6049 - thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
Beinhorn is a literal audio genius. His approaches to different genres and practicality are inspirational as all hell.
Great interview 🤘🤘
Thank you for listening Brent Lee! 🎉🔥😇
@@EveryoneLovesGuitar
Thanks for a great show Man, I started watching a bit over a year ago, And I shamelessly plug the channel to any other fellow guitar geeks I run into.
Cheers!
@@BLeeFAFO Thanks Brent, I appreciate your support and glad you're digging the show!
As a drummer myself i know that the drum track is the foundation of everything.
If your drummer sucks-your band sucks.
Yes, I agree @macadoo2530 - thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
Truth! And I’m a singer that can’t play a lick of drums.
What an amazing interview. The second part about inner barriers and fears is the best I heard from Michael Beinhorn, from many interviews. As a musician, I think I know that it can take a life time to realise what is going on, and connecting with your deeper feelings, removing all head talk and expectations will enable you to get the true self out, and bring it into the world. If you touch one deeply, out there, with your music, your job is done, as Michael says. Thank you for great interviewing, I will pay more attention to your channel.
Thanks for your kind words @stefandrechsel and glad you enjoyed this 👍🏻🎸♫
Sadly in the current state of affairs it's getting harder and harder to "be compensated" for producing or engineering music recordings. There is almost no chance that any but the most famous of artists will come within a stones throw of recouping what was an average demo budget in the 90's from streaming services. Top that off with the fact that if they've entered into a 360 deal with a management or record company the artist can't even make the financial case for having a well produced record to earn touring revenue and merch sales off of. There are some who will, and it was always the case that very many didn't make a living off of their tremendous efforts and talents, but it is the worst it's ever been since the early twentieth century now.
Truth! And thank you for listening @corybarnes2341! 🎉🔥😇
huge fan of Michael’s work and approach to music and life, and after this interview i’m a fan of yours as well. thank you both for sharing this!
Thanks shayeasy, Rock on! 🎸🙌🏻🔥🎶
Mother's milk is by far the best Red Hot chili peppers album in my opinion
Right on @doveshouse, thanks for listening! 🎸💥🙌🏻
Now it's unlimited love...no joke. I wasn't gonna listen to it because of the lead single, but I love it
Fantastic. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
This is an incredible interview. He's such a thoughtful / masterful creator.
Glad you enjoyed the interview @Studio8Recording, and thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
Such a great interview! There are so many things he said that make me think about how I came up with my career and my outlook on music. Of course my career pales in comparison with his and he is way more eloquent than I'll ever be ha ha! Thanks for doing this!
Thank you for listening Freaking Out With Billy Hume! 🎉🔥😇
Great interview of a few I've seen with Michael. Your sincerity and music knowledge make for a great chat. Glad to sub.
Thanks for your kind words @harmonic3350 and glad you enjoyed this 👍🏻🎸♫
What an inspiration. Thanks to you both. ❤
Glad you enjoyed the interview @jerahmaya77, and thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
Fabulous Interview gentlemen, some great insights here, can’t wait to get the book!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This man is so thoughtful and intelligent
Thank you for listening @geetarman513! 🎉🔥😇
Stan Lynch comes to mind 🥁💯Remember when Tom Petty was replacing Stan, Steve Ferroni got the gig over Kenny Aronoff.
This is amazing interview “the power of words”
Glad you enjoyed the interview @geetarman513, and thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
Another insightful interview
Thanks Rudi van Starrex, Rock on! 🎸🙌🏻🔥🎶
Killer conversation 🔥
Glad you enjoyed the interview @flatpickinomal, and thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
Way way back to the 80ties! Material was huge.
Sensational interview! Great job!
Thanks for your kind words @mainoffenders4662 and glad you enjoyed this 👍🏻🎸♫
I felt like him going through first success and then a low point prepared him for his career giving him hope and confidence but also perseverance and heart. I don't know if I formulated the thought correctly but it seemed to make sense as a story.
Glad you enjoyed the interview @sagandalya108, and thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
How to get Beinhorn to produce Depeche modes next album? This is the kind of producer they need, and have needed for the last 20 years.
Right on @matsfrommusic, thanks for listening! 🎸💥🙌🏻
Famous bands with drummers that could never have made a record with Michael: The Who, The Stooges, Alice Cooper, the Sex Pistols, White Stripes, Ramones, the Bangles, Black Sabbath - and many more. Sometimes i think that flaws ARE the character of a singer or musician, otherwise you get more generic tracks - which was the game back then to have hits.
Glad you enjoyed the interview @briankehew579, and thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
Yea agree 100%..Your listing of The White Stripes was spot on...Michael wasn't into the whole spontaneity thing contrast that with Daniel Lanois..But the records Michael made are amazing..
I'm the guy with the dessert island disc comment way back and I was going say maybe if you just said name a few of your fav all-time albums, but I enjoy the squirm factor too much so, never mind. It's really weird though when they're afraid to even mention one!! Another great interview 👍 thanks!
Thanks Bob, yeah man I talk about your comment all the time - it's spot on! Have a great weekend man :-) 🎸🙌🏻🔥🎶
@@EveryoneLovesGuitar I get a huge kick when I hear you mention it. It's cool to be a tiny part of your Excellent Show! THANKS
Great interview man!

I’d love you to check out Deep Purple! Burn, Highway Star, Child in Time, Knockin at Your Back Door, Perfect Strangers.
Okay, wait, Victoria B.C. is NOT A RAINFOREST!!! It has massive trees, and it rains because it's direcly on the West Coast, BUT IT DOES NOT GET HOT THERE!!! It's the same weather as Seattle, which is directly beside B.C. That's where the Canadian/U.S. Boarder is. Does ANYONE complain that Seattle has days of 110⁰F???
☆☆☆NO NEVER!☆☆☆
You questioned him well! 🤙🏻🙌🏼
Thanks for your kind words @BlurredTrees and glad you enjoyed this 👍🏻🎸♫
Almost 3 hours!
Flew right by😊
Thank you for listening @SoundCastle00! 🎉🔥😇
That second half of the interview was a much needed kick in the ass to change things up and to keep on keepin on.
Definitely going to go back and rewatch often because I've been in such a lighter mood because of it😊
Also the Kimock interview where he talks about not being as happy as he used to be.....then goes on to talk about his friends death....a major car accident ect REALLY made perfect sense how life can change a person's personality (which is happening to me right now)
I'm 54 and in a weird lost space currently, and listening to these interview s help me sort and procees my own life in super helpful way.
Oh! and the Andy Summers
One.....just killer
Thanks for everything Craig.🙏🤙
@@SoundCastle00 Thanks so much, really glad you're enjoying these shows. Happy Holidays and all the best, CG
love soundgarden.
Yes, I agree @brendangilmartin3914 - thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
👍🏼⚡️
Where in this 3 hour video is the Chris Cornell story?
About 1:20 in
nope
@@IanSpradley
perhaps yu meant one hour and twenty minutes and not one minute and twenty seconds? It's so odd to have the title with Chris Cornell and not mark it in any of the chapters. ughh
There's no difference in WAV and AIFF. Both are lossless 48khz. The only difference between the two is that AIFF contains metadata, WAV doesn't. I also hate Microsoft, but PCM didn't do it. 😉 Amazing interview.
Glad you enjoyed the interview @jasoncravens1124, and thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
I recognize this guy from somewhere!
Thank you for listening @larslevinberget9558! 🎉🔥😇
@@EveryoneLovesGuitar Great and inspiring video ... may have been Musician magazine 1990 :)
158:08 not only do you have access to 3 million songs but everyone is listening to the music on these awful cell phones and headphones. Gone are the days of those large cabinet home speakers that were so prevalent in the 70s and 80s. Some people buy home speakers.. and yes they reproduce the music okay, but those separate subwoofer for units just don't resonate the same way as woofers in a three-way cabinet speaker. People don't literally feel the music like they once did.. and neighbors are way too sensitive to noise and they complain. In short people are not rocking out to music at home like they used to... It changes things.
Also artist used to spend over a year in a studio creating an album... Record companies used to fund that.. they don't fund that anymore... And many musicians don't have the patience for it.
Thank you for listening @doveshouse! 🎉🔥😇
@@EveryoneLovesGuitar Auto-responders are disgusting.
@@jasoncravens1124 you're disgusting.
Superunknown 1hr:18 I just couldn't get there quicker enough.
Glad you enjoyed the interview @reflectingtrees, and thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
Didn't realise Bill Laswell ripped off Michael? Worked with laswell in his studio in west orange 1999..he was a strange dude for sure...it didn't work out great but he made $150,000
Thank you for listening @stuartcarswell2815! 🎉🔥😇
I'm thinking of all the great bands who would've had their drummers sacked for not being good enough or being boring if Michael Beinhorn had been the producer- Velvet Underground, White Stripes, Buddy Holly And The Crickets, The Damned, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Sonic Youth, Pink Floyd, The Yardbirds, MC5, Mothers Of Invention, The Cure... come to think of it Mitch Mitchell played some sloppy untogether stuff with the Jimi Hendrix Experience...
It's not about the drumming, it's the overall feel of the band that matters and not all bands are good at laying down their parts one at a time. Maybe if Beinhorn had realised this and recorded the rhythm section all together so they could play off each other he'd've got better results a lot quicker. If you keep making people play take after take they won't get any better, they'll just hate the producer.
Or maybe he should've just stuck to being the synth player with Material
Wow, this guy does not have a 61 yr old personality.
lol how old do you think i am haha... if you take care of yourself, 60 is the new 40 man!
A good producer is someone who gets the best out of a band or an artist. A bad producer is someone who sets themselves above the artists. If you look at Beinhorns catalogue, he rarely does the same bands twice. I believe the answer in what I think of that arrogant douchebag lies there.
suicide is for the weak, guy had it all, zero respect
You're very wrong, it can be impossible to effectively rationalise if you have a compromised mind, to jump on this just to say someone was "weak" and to express your lack of sympathy is poor form
@@peejay6930 yea , pills can really send ya down the shitter , your therapist goes to therapy , literally ruining the generation , pills is the culprit , nobody ready for that conversation
And it’s bullshit attitudes like yours that will make it harder for those with mental illness to come forward and get help. Your take is beyond weak.
My brother committed suicide. He definitely wasn't weak, he was overwhelmed with a lifetime of being beaten down by our father and probably self-medication. Not sure where you're getting your information from, that suicide is born out of weakness. It's born out of illness, fear, sadness, overwhelm, and probably many other related emotions. It's sad when someone takes their life, not pathetic.
@@EveryoneLovesGuitar didn’t say it wasn’t sad , I did however nail the culprit , pills , did u even read my last comment on this thread???
