“I try not to buy guitar amps anymore. If I can’t get a guitar sound out of this, I’m pretty pathetic.” Points to literal wall of amp heads😂 Legend.

Listening to people like Joe, makes me realise that I know jack shit about sound. He’s forgotten more than most people will ever learn.

tool, kyuss, queens of the stone age, volbeat,soundgarden,melvins genius man

"I would rather set up 18 ribbon mics than slide shit around on a computer till it sounds good" words of wisdom

I had the pleasure of spending a day with Joe at his studio a while back and he's one of the most interesting and inspirational guys you'll ever meet if you're into music production. He has a legendary story for everything you look at and go "whoa, what is that?" just like in this video. He's not just a sound engineer and producer, he's a true artist and master of his craft.

"That's not a plugin...Nobody has that plugin." Awesome..

I love the way this guy works! Total creativity without restrictions and he doesnt take himself too damn seriously thus fostering a brilliant one of a kind atmosphere to work in! Hes produced some of my absolute favorite albums and it would be a dream come true to work with him! He is a treasure to modern music!

Analog God. The beautiful thing about his records is they are full spectrum on the eq, you can dial them in to many locations and they sound great

That pikachu was in a weird Adam Jones video tour of the studio a few months ago. He dwelt on it for quite a spell.

This series is pure joy.

this dude is chill as fuck......cool dog too

What a great interview! It's guys like this (Steve Albini, Tchad Blake etc.) that make the whole 'going to the studio' process unique. Anyone can record an album on their laptop but working with these guys gives you the creativity and experimental process that you can't find anywhere else.

What a dude. And what a fucking collection 😮

you've seen enough of that...

This was the best one yet. Hope you guys keep this series up. Really awesome stories and inspiring creativity from Joe.

7:35 One for the Tool Army: Joe is thinking about Rosetta Stoned while inadvertently quoting its lyrics. "Can't remember what he said."

More of this stuff please, its incredible!

This is a documentary of an amazing but dying breed of recording studios. Labelmoney acts like the Queens are growing scarse and the recordings with em.

Man these videos are great! Kudos to the team that's responsible!

My favorite episode so far. Stellar job guys, and thank you for all the fantastic creations, Joe! Much love from Romania

That’s a cool dude with a cool studio . Good luck with the new Tool !

I realy appreciate some 15 minutes of kicking the feet up the table and having guys that know their stuff talk with alot of passion! Love you guys for the pedals and as i just recently discovered, the "Show Us Your Junk" series, keep it up! Love from Switzerland

If Earthquaker could reimagine the Space Station you'd be my heroes...I think Joe would approve. A line of Earthquaker plugins would also be pretty cool.

Really enjoyed this

Fantastic! I feel like I would get overwhelmed in there. I love recording, you finally get to listen to the songs. Those stories of experimenting in the studio, just awesome.

Love the 'you've seen enough of that' aha very spinal tap.

13:54 that space station is a seriously underrated gem

this guy is so badass haha lots of funny and cool things sitting around that studio

This is so inspiring. I wish that spirit of experimentation was the norm in recording. It's always something I've found fascinating about the process of making albums. It comes at a cost in time and money, but the sounds and vibe are untouchable.

Such a down to earth dude, loving these, thank you !!

Another GREAT Episode!!! Thanks!!!

Most of these places are spaceships.. with the coolest alien hosts ever. I'd love to explore any one of em for even just 2 minutes! Thanks for sharing with us :)

Thanks Joe, I've learned a lot from you.

LOL - *points hand at object* "You've Seen Enough Of That." that shit has been stuck in my head for what ever reason and i tend to pull out that phrase on the regula hahaha. especially in the studio.. engineer asked "are u really letting that compressor crank and spank like that??" -- me: "yeah. i want that particular piece squashed............ *points hand at object* "You've Seen Enough Of That."

This is my new favorite corner of the Internet. Many thanks EQD!

Love this video, love this guy.

That just made me feel even better than I already do about owning my Afterneath.

HAHAHA the bass player didn’t come and they played bass for him! It’s not a stereotype anymore!

Love the video!

Joe is the most down to earth dude and inspires tons of us make better sounding records!

Have you heard STAG by the Melvins? Genius work. this has to be the nicest guy in the industry. If one day I had the songs and the money, I would choose this guy to work with, just for the kick of it. I like his "nerdy" approach to sound, he obviously has a sense of humor and he's a master at his craft. What else can you ask for, a Kit Kat? He's a collector!

This episode has everything

Now every time I see that flame hat, you know what studio I am thinking of...

Rosetta Stoned is the Tool song he was talking about

INSANE amount of equipment!!! Daaaaammmmmnnn!

I find it interesting with the whole open plan layout of his place. Really chill.

"You've seen enough of that" LOL! My envy is at an all time high.

"everybody got the same plugin, everybody got that plugin" holly crap, just go and search for "how to record a bass track" and this is exactly this, one pluging, the same shit sound and boom, 99.9% of today's records! Thank you Earthquacker, i didn't know that guy at all but i love him now :D !

Legend!

This guy is freaking awesome

That Minarik was actually the first thing I noticed & got excited about, I have no life.

Fantastic video

Ohhh Shit !!!!! I like this Mrs Evil !!! Respect and Love Mister Diablo!!! :-) !!!!

Dope Video Dudes!!!!

The story about Bullet reminds me of Seamus by Pink Floyd with the dog howling along. Class.

OMG - @1:41 - I have that whole series of Gibson posters from the 90’s!! Love those!

this video was fucking amazing this man is a virtuoso literally a dream to make record music here and have this man produce it

the man for guitar tones! remember a video with eric valentine, he said if you want huge guitars call joe barresi

Peavey T-60s are amazing, we've been using one for years :)

God damn i love this series. Good shit by everyone Ive seen. Thx earthquake.

Places like these make it easy to just write in the studio, look at all that inspiration

This was great....it's what "going to the studio" is supposed to be...totally unique.

🤘🏻Nice Video🤘🏻

I’ve watched this 50 times and just realized he’s flipping us off in the thumbnail

great video

I so want to wear the flame hat and play that absolutely radical looking guitar, man

Lawnmower and Garden Supply Studio was opened by Kevin Gilbert... The man who wrote Sheryl Crows first and most popular album and founder of the Tuesday Night Music Club. When Sheryl hit it big with Kevin’s song “All I Wanna Do...” she fucked over Kevin and the rest of the TNMC who wrote these songs for her, by firing them and hiring different musicians for the tour to essentially be “the band” (a gig they were promised)... Kevin rightfully hated Sheryl and it was compounded by Sheryl’s habit of taking songwriting credit in the press. Kevin did get a bit of revenge when Disney was very insistent on using “All I Wanna Do...” in its advertising and Kevin would not sign off. Even though He and Sheryl would have made a ton of money off of it... In His last argument with Disney, he asked them if they even knew what the song was about. They said “sure, it’s about having fun”... Kevin said “No... Its about getting fucked up at 9 in the morning|..” and that was the end of that!.. Kevin passed away not long after that but his music was stellar and definitely worth a listen...

That was inspirational.

This is my kinda engineer, man.

this one was badass. thanks earthquaker

HEY EQD! i am really loving these shows!!

He is the best kind of nutcase.

Top of Joe's head is brighter than my future.... truly a badass engineer

That flame guitar is a Moonstone, made by my friend Steve Helgeson!

"Fell off the back of a truck somewhere". 😏

Brillant

Stoner witch alone is legendary, then the 3 kyuss?! Awesome!

Hell yeah!

This dude produced Into Abaddon by Saviours, I trust him with my life.

I had the yellow flanger too. Never should have traded it.

The fart mic made my day lol

This whole video kicks ass. the creator (or progenitor at least) of that Picachu I think is Dave wright of Not Breathing

fuckin love this series!!! im on my second run through lol. so fascinating.

My dude. You forgot to talk about Kevin Gilbert who dug the dirt out of the building so he could make that place a studio and go on to make his own great, under-appreciated work on his own and for plenty of others.

whoa cool stories

i see u with that lab series fam. big toan.

bro i want to buy that megaphone from Rosetta stoned, thats so tight.

I am movin in.

This man is just my kinda guy. :-D

Can totally relate to the Ibanez Flanger. Sold it. Regretted it. But now have another vintage version :)

Really odd that Joe did not mention Kevin Gilbert who founded Lawnmower Studios...

Ah, so Joe's in Kevin Gilbert's old studio. Very cool!

Hell. Yeah.

I'm learning so much from this series man, thank you guys for spending your time like this. All these interviews are uniquely amazing. Tyty

26 minute cd of farting... awesome

I would love to be in your studio !!!

Joe's ears seem to be permanently bleeding. Great interview

Guys freggen cool.

I want to hear the 18 ribbon mics comparison ! xD

Agreed, the afterneath is so fucking good. An absolute apocalypse when using an Acopulco Gold, great for intros. EQD is my only pedal brand from now on (and some boss stuff here or there XD)
