I will never forget how he basically _EXORCISED_ that solo out of Kirk Hammett when making The Unforgiven. One of the best solos on that record; one of my favorites, period. Kirk was just having a hard time that day - and Bob just pushed him, and pushed him, until _that solo_ came out - and it was glorious.

I always hated that Bob Rock got a lot of flack for "softening" Metallica's sound...because the band wrote the songs for the black album and recorded the demos before they had ever hired a producer. They probably had never even met him at that point. They made their own conscious decision to change their sound. And if you listen to those demos....Bob Rock (and no doubt heavily assisted by Randy Staub) brought out the absolute best in the songs that they wrote. I actually wish he'd work with them again, although Hardwired is a fantastic album. It would be nice to hear Bob and Randy with the band again, reunite the team that did their best sounding albums, sonically.

@jhr110 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you for saying this. You're 100% correct. I don't recall whereI heard this, but on an interview with Bob he stated he was expecting to do a "Justice type record." Instead, like you stated, they wrote the black album and then hired him. Furthermore, he didn't win many battles on the black album (He got them to slow down Sad But True and not much else IIRC). They hired him and he gave them exactly what they wanted. Metallica grew and some of the fans couldn't handle it so they found a scapegoat. Bob Rock is awesome. Load and Reload are AMAZING records too imo.

@doublestrokeroll 4 жыл бұрын

It's because fans are usually stupid fucking idiots who have no fucking clue how music is really made. The Black Album is not really a favorite of mine as I prefer everything before it, but in terms of sound it's better than any album they ever did. The production quality is outstanding. Better than Ride, or Master, and a fuck ton better than the shit quality of And Justice, even though it's got amazing songs. Bob Rock is a legend. The fact that Lars and James keep name dropping him in regards to how important he was is their way of telling their fans to fuck off without actually saying it. Unfortunately Metallica fans are mostly a bunch of fucking babies who paint the band into a corner of expectations that they aren't allowed to deviate from. In short, Metallica fans are the least "Metal" people around.

The coolest thing Bob Rock ever did? At a time that he was still arguably the biggest rock and roll producer in the world about 15 years ago - when his fee and points on sales would be in the high six figures - he had a few weeks off and he offered to produce a record for Canada's most famous punk band DOA. Between 79-82 Bob had worked with most of the big punk acts in Vancouver but he had never gotten DOA in the studio then. So he offered to do a record for them decades later and didn't charge them his producer's fee purely because he wanted to have a DOA record under his belt.

Gibson, if you read this, please take my next words as a love letter, and not hate. You’re the makers of my favorite guitar. The original Silverburst Les Paul. I, a freaking drummer, sat and stared at this guitar when I first saw and heard this thing play. You managed to completely enamor a drummer with a guitar. Please put this much soul and heart back into your business of building guitars as you have making these videos. These videos capture the very essence of what makes music so powerful. If these videos are a sign of the blood running through Gibson’s veins, then you have the potential to take over the world all over again. Get back to what made you iconic in the first place. Gibson isn’t a lifestyle. It’s an iconic maker of “The Cadillac of Electric Guitars”.

Wow, it is fantastic what you said, me a "guitarist" myself support your post. But dude I think Gibson needs help too. There is a lot artists in the genre creating amazing stuff and people don't support them as they do with the classics, if people do not support music in where guitar is used, unfortunately, less kids will play guitar in future and guitar brands will continue falling.

Bob is an absolute legend. People unduly give him shit for the change in Metallica's music, but all he did was help them make the very best out of the songs they wrote. The black album is still the best sounding metal record, and I don't think that will ever change.

@andrewdog-gonewaylon5915 4 жыл бұрын

Agree, they who blamed him for softening Metallica's sound should realize that was the 90s when Grunge started to dominate and the 80s bands were getting decrepit, he needed to get Metallica to a different direction to keep them going, or else Metallica wouldn't be so big in the 90s and so on if they kept sounded like Master of Puppets (don't get me wrong, that is still their best), but the 90s kids wouldn't understand that during that time. Black album, Load and Reload are still good, just not Thrash Metal, that's all.

@danielblake1537 4 жыл бұрын

Honestly I think Metallica did all them to themselves...they did the whole thrash thing and had the long hair for almost a decade and I just think they decided to change things up and like u said the 90's were coming and things were changing and they made basically 4 albums that were the hard thrash metal thing (my favorite albums) but I don't think nobody made them do anything that they didn't ultimately decided themselves

I had the privilege of helping to work on his Studio at his house, back in the late 80's, when he lived out in South Surrey (BC). I loved his early Payolas days and remember seeing them on VU13 doing China Boys. By the time he was building his own Studio, he was already Famous. Definitely, One of the Best Producers out there and is very down to Earth! His Long List of Works speaks for itself. True Legend.
