The Making of War All the Time by Poison Idea
Рет қаралды 1,554
3 ай бұрынTalking about the making of the legendary 1987 LP War All The Time by Poison Idea and my part in it's creation. I discuss the challenges involved with bringing this project into reality and even read a couple of poems by Charles Bukowski taken from his book War All the Time that inspired the title of the LP. This was the last record I worked on for my label Alchemy Records.

Very enjoyable and informative video Mark. I'm a Bay Area guy. RKL was a favorite so the first Alchemy release I bought was R'N'R Nightmare - saw the comic and thought Alchemy rules!! As a result I started buying all your release and this album was my introduction to Poison Idea, thought it had quite a metal edge. Was blown away first time hearing Pick Your King! Still have my original Melvins, RKL, Sacrilege, Clown Alley and a crazy Clown Alley/Rythym Pigs flyer from On Broadway with the jack in the box killer clown. BTW David Duran hell of a vocalist, he was great with Hemi!

"War all the time " is the greatest Hardcore/Punk album made in the USA. To have had anything to do with it is Legendary !

Best Poison Idea LP for me.

One of the most attractive things about the Alchemy catalog is the distinct flavor of each release. While most are in the punk or punk-adjacent realm, none of the bands sounded similar, unlike a lot of what other labels would do.

We were just getting started when it caved in...Victor and I had a huge range of music we enjoyed so it would have been interesting to see the progression beyond the hardcore beginnings.

I'm a huge fan of all the Alchemy stuff, this record and the RKL album were huge for me in my teenage years. They're actually, along with the Clown Alley and Melvins records, still some of my favorites. Jerry's books are great, you should check them out if you get a chance.

Thanks ! I'm about halfway through Mark Lanegan's book, so Jerry's might be the next logical step.

Thank you so much for this. Your stories about the making of this awesome record prove that from total chaos, greatness can sometimes emerge. Love this record and its uniqueness.

Seems like every record for the label had a completely unique experience attached to it. This one was no exception ! Thanks for being here .

Do you still have Tom's voice mails? Those would be great to hear. He was a wordsmith for sure.

I'm feeling it might have been Jerry at this point...I don't recall much eloquence...mainly threats of violence. Those phone machines were probably retired to landfills many decades ago.

@@MarkDeutrom Tom always screened his phone calls. Whenever he would pick up on mine, it gave me a good feeling. When i first met Jerry. He had just got a final mix of War. He played it, and it blew my mind. Game changer for sure.

Very dignified, mark.

Thanks ! I probably could have worked harder to be more diplomatic at the time and get a better result, but that was a particularly challenging time for me outside of trying to get this finished to everyone's satisfaction.

It has it's own unique place in the history of that band and genre, that is certain. Thanks for watching.

Awesome, love what you do Mark. Keep up the great work! I'd love to hear about what it was like making Neurosis' Pain of Mind.

Thank you ! I plan to get to the remaining Alchemy releases when time permits. BTW Barry White is a personal favorite of mine.... Amazing playing, production, writing and singing. The grooves are huge with BW.

Poison Idea is one of my favorite hardcore bands, but they could be real dicks and bullies. Your story about the phone threats reminded me of the time they sent my friends a letter threatening them with violence because my friends high school garage band had been covering a PI song in their live shows.

Much of this behavior from them made more sense after I read Jerry Lang's books Black Heart Fades Blue. While not the most pleasant read, I salute Jerry's honesty and self examination into his own behavior and the resulting fallout from that. There's certainly no excuse for much of it, but he does own it and has achieved some peace and clarity on this side of all that.

@MarkDeutrom I just finished parts 1 and 2 on audiobook a few days ago. I'll start part 3 here soon. It was pretty damn good, and yeah, I agree that it provides a lot of insight about those days and all the stuff that went down. Thanks for the reply!

The myth is that at a point, poison idea weighed more than a ton...is still think they're the best hard-core punk band ever.
@MarkDeutrom 2 ай бұрын
I think that was a PR thing by some magazine but it adds to the legend, among other things...great band regardless.Thanks for watching.
@shoeshane6494 Ай бұрын
They did hold a Guinness World Record for heaviest band at one point.
