Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 616 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Taste the Pain with special guest Michael Beinhorn - a look into the production of some absolutely massive albums 

The guys are joined by a true legend of the production world, Michael Beinhorn, who has produced some of the greatest records of all time. We are talking Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Hole, Marilyn Manson, Korn, and we are talking Herbie Hancock too! We start at the beginning and find out what the third most used sound in recorded music history is... and Michael came up with it.

Brian and Richard can't resist fanboying a little and so the conversation moved on to Superunknown by Soundgarden, which was a defining album for all the guys' musical tastes. This is a fascinating look into the stories behind the scenes and Michael's own personal perspective which made him one of the most in-demand record producers of a generation. Michael's philosophy for making records translates into some fantastic advice for nearly everyone...

Michael has written a book, Taste the Pain - The Making of The Red Hot Chili Peppers' Mother's Milk, which starts out with a tragedy and gives an incredibly candid view of how the band survived the challenges thrown their way. He gives us some fascinating insights into the band, the recording process, and music production in general. Finally, the guys look at the making of Hole's "Celebrity Skin" with no punches pulled.

This is a fascinating and compelling episode, and we would like to say a huge thanks to Michael for his time and his candid storytelling!

Electro phases, Seattle Grunge, Black Hole Sun, Chad Smith's Posterior, Kornhole...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!
