Qualified to suck dick.

Damaged is a good record, fuck what cha heard.

Alas, I do not actually know how to play it.

But I did play the bassline for "Six Pack" once for six minutes straight at a show when the drummer in my old band was changing his tom head.

And yes, I supposed I am qualified to blow dudes...sassi with an "i."

To be honest, I wouldn't fully trust an engineer who didn't have a clue of any instrument. If he wasn't bothered to learn anything it's a bad sign. And if he did try and learn, but was incapable it's a worse sign.

I suppose it'd be more essential for a "producer" who was involving himself in the nuts and bolts of composition, but in my experience every decent engineer I've encountered has played something. People usually find themselves doing engineering because they started off wanting to record themselves first anyway.

they said our youth was dead...how could they know?

I like engineers who don't play guitar. I don't want to hear their bands demo or their opinion of the amp I'm playing.

I'd rather have an engineer who's a good cook or a trumpet player. Something useful. Around here you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a guitar player. Like fucking roaches they are.

yeah Steve, you are a very good guitar player, and no one can take that away from you -- even the bank after they've taken just about everything else.

by the way, my two cents: an engineer who's a good musician is like a film director who can act well. take that as you will i'm SO stoned right now and about to go for a walk.

“Do you play any harmonic instrument?”
“Well, I play guitar very badly. I’m good enough to play the Nervous Breakdown EP, or the entire Ramones’s catalog, and I am not worried to play any better.”
“But you should, and quickly. All the best engineers play guitar or keyboard very well. Professional level. If the singer sing in a different scale, you should know it. You have to be able to spot a 7th out of place and bla-bla-bla.”

So my question is: Do you guys play guitar (or keyboard, or flute, etc) really well (minor and major escales, all the theoric shit)? And this is important to your job as engineers?

yuck!
does the chap in question have a pony tail? if so i would take all his "studio talk" as useless shite. thats just me though. i think i have a problem with pony tails though so my advice would/could be racialist slurring.

i reckon he/she is talking toss though. but it's your call dude.
