Nevermind was already the biggest album in the world at this point. I think he’s being a little disingenuous in this regard. And also a bit rude, if unintentionally, while trying to be “cool”, stating he was familiar with the bands in and around Nirvana at that time, but not them in particular. Just my opinion.

That is because he talked smack about Nirvana at the time. Back in the day, he enjoyed publicly mocking the bands he worked with in an unquestionably mean-spirited way. It would be foolish of him to pretend he always loved them when he called them "an unremarkable version of the Seattle sound" and only took the job out of pity (and the paycheck). Thankfully he later changed his mind and also grew out of that sort of behaviour. Lucky for him COnan didn't bring it up!

unless I'm slightly misunderstanding how he was explaining the compensation at the end... like, I agree that it's a poor and unethical business model for a music producer to be paid directly out of what would otherwise be the band members' proceeds for a record, but I also think that a producer is probably entitled to some degree of residuals from the future resales of that given album. It's not like he's just some PA for the studio for a couple weeks, he's a significant and obviously necessary creative component to the process. I'm not suggesting it's equivalent to the band themselves, but it's fair for SOME percentage. It seemed like Steve was saying he wasn't entitled even if those residuals would be coming from the label (not the band)

The biggest difference in the "polished/radio friendly" Nevermind VS In Utero is that it was mixed by Andy Walace. I think people assume Producer means they mixed it which is not usually true. The label wanted the more radio friendly version. Butch Vig mixes are out there if you look. They definitely sound more raw and punk like Butch's other mixes but I'm not sure if Nevermind would have had the success it did on the radio with his mixes. If the label would have went to a radio program director with Butch's original mixes they would have probably said it sounds too punk and raw and doesn't fit their format. Nice Die Kreuzen shout out!! One of my favorite bands!

Totally right. The sheen on ‘Nevermind’ is the Andy Wallace mix, not Butch Vig’s recording. Nirvana wanted Andy Wallace to mix it (from memory, in Michael Azzerad’s book) because of his work on Slayer’s ‘Seasons in the Abyss and although he may well have changed his mind afterwards, Kurt’s actions at the time indicated that he wanted a record that would sound good on the radio. Would ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ have got the airplay that it did (on mainstream rock radio) and had the effect that it did if it didn’t sound like that? Probably not.

DGC supplied a list of options, including Scott Litt (known for his work with R.E.M.) and Ed Stasium (known for his work with the Ramones and the Smithereens). Cobain was concerned about bringing in well known producers, and instead chose Andy Wallace, who had co-produced Slayer's 1990 album Seasons in the Abyss. Novoselic recalled, "We said, 'right on,' because those Slayer records were so heavy." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevermind Wikipedia’s not exhaustively correct, but there’s lots of documented interviews stating that Wallace was the bands choice, not someone foisted on them by the label.

But I mean it‘s just another style of mixing.

Albini and Vig were great. But hard to forget the impact of the late great Glen Locket "Spot", the in house producer at SST records in the early to mid 80's. The independent records he produced: Black Flag "Jealous Again" and "Damaged" , The Minutemen "The Punchline" Meat Puppets "Meat Puppets II", Husker Du "Zen Arcade" and the Big Boys "Fun Fun Fun" .....that is some seriously influential output in a roughly 5 year time period. A truly trailblazing label...in its time and place. Forget about what it turned into.

Spot was totally amazing, always had a smile on his face, and he could play any instrument you put in front of him and any kind of music from traditional Celtic folk to avant-garde weirdness. I heard that shortly before he died he said he regretted not learning enough different types of music which is insane!

Vig's production work on Nevermind was incredible. He turned a punk band into the biggest band in the world. Without Vig, most of us probably never hear of Nirvana. The band might think the Nevermind sound is too poppy after the fact but without that the record probably isn't a hit. He changed the world of music with his production on Nevermind.

@madhatter8508
@madhatter8508 6 місяців тому
A lot of that is Andy Wallace's mixing and Bob Ludwig's mastering. You can listen to other bands Butch produced before Nevermind, like Tad, and hear that his work for them wasn't that much different from Jack Endino's. He did help with talking Kurt into doubling his voice and using the chorus effect more often than he otherwise would have, but again some of that chorus was Andy Wallace running tracks through a Yamaha SPX90 in mixing. It wasn't all on the Small Clone. And IMO, Kurt only complained about Nevermind being too poppy because a lot of the users, abusers, and losers he hung out with were jealous of his success so he shat on Nevermind to ingratiate himself with them. He felt guilty that they hit it big while his "friends" were still struggling.
