The face on Bon Jovi....lol Thanks for that Johnny! If you read this, you gave a lasting memory!!  |
I do some mixing for Jony Rockstar every now and then (!) ... he's still a riot ...
Highlights for me include recording Mr James Brown, and some of his band, for the Black Eyed Peas track that he guested on.
Britney Spears showing me her little flower tattoo in the studio, it was quite near her, umm ... little flower ...
I don't get star-struck often, but one day, in the bar of the studio where I used to work, Page and Plant were having lunch (I just caught myself going, "holy f*&$, that's half of Led Zep ...)
Working on a session with Marti Pellow, whose band I used to play drums along to on headphones when I was 11 and just learning to play.
Working on Mick Jagger's solo record "Goddess in the Doorway". Seeing him do his thing in the booth was amazing. The man can perform!
My first engineering gig was recording Pino Palladino ... he made it easy for me ...
I was lucky enough to be asked to mix the Philadelphia show of the Live8 extravanganza for the DVD release, and pushing up the faders and hearing Stevie Wonder's vocal was a trip ... not forgetting the other artists, some of whom were childhood heroes!
Too many great moments ...
