Snake Eyes Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/upcomi...dan_obrien.htmlI'm glad Aerosmith are starting things up for the next release but I think Brendan O' Brien is a mistake, think of how much he smoothed over Libertad, Working On A Dream, Black Ice etc.. Some things he's done are cool but hopefully he won't try and pull them back into writing commerical stuff after how awesome Honkin' On Bobo was (even if it was covers).

Marky Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I like 21st century 'Smith. There's the good old stuff, then the 80s-90s power ballads arena rock (Only a few stand-out songs likes Deuces, Amazing, Livin On The Edge, Janie etc) and then the Nine Lives-onwards stuff is quite good. They've moved with the times. If they'd released carbon copies of Rocks for 20 years, people would be moaning that it all sounds the same a la AC/DC.Just Push Play is a great album, with great modern production, but I don't think people 'got it' so to speak. Honkin' is a fantastic album, but sold real poor, showing that there's no market for 70's Aerosmith.I'll be happy with anything that sounds fresh. Seeing them at Hyde Park was a real experience, musically they are second-to-none, tight, and do it better than most bands half their age.

Snake Eyes Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Yeah I liked Just Push Play too, but I think they could have some forward thinking stuff but still play the way they want to, cos their defnitly back into the bluesy rock thing now. Pink is kinda what I mean - I loved that song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havoc907 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I could go for Nine Lives 2. I really enjoyed that album back when it came out. JPP was a little too poppy for my taste. It did have some good songs sprinkled in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 O'Brien has a tendency to ruin anything he touches, production-wise. So this isn't getting my hopes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon87 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 O'Brien seems to be busy these days, he's also the producer for the next Pearl Jam album. If this is going to be as cool as No Code, then I'm thrilled, although I kind of agree with Estranged_Realty. He can be a bit hit or miss with the albums he does.

Lithium Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I don't understand why they let this guy near a studio. His production is almost always the clearest flaw of the albums he is a part of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Eyes Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 ^^ I would like to hear Springsteen's new record in rawer production that he deserves, it's still one of my favourites of his from recent times but not the production.I hope he doesn't produce Joe and Brad's guitars like he did for Slash and Dave in Libertad, they sounded like fucking synthesisors half the time (and I loved Libertad).

GUNSNROSES513 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Old Aerosmith is the only way I like them. They are as good as Guns in my rank,, 80's-now suck except for a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turn_It_Up Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) I get some people's beefs with O'Brien, but he's done some exceptional work, there's no denying that. This could be killer.Besides, just want Aerosmith to get back out on the road this summer... Edited February 10, 2009 by Turn_It_Up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuffle Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) I'm interested in hearing this but I'm not expecting that much, just hoping they'll go with more Honkin' On Bobo than Just Push Play. Brendan O'Brien is a crap choice though, since he's manage to ruin most of the stuff his produced during the last couple of years... I'm really hoping for a tour here though.

liquidmetal Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 they should go back to their old sound, they were a great band in the 70's and have sucked ass since IMO.the stones just about pulled it off with a bigger bang.they should look to the same formula.

Randy Lahey Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 This guy produced some cool albums in the 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) This guy produced some cool albums in the 90's.I agree.Libertad I'm ambivalent about -- part of me feels the production is way too polished, but then part of me would rather blame the material. This is coming from someone who loved Libertad out of the gate and has since tired of it; with Contraband it was the polar opposite.

eye2eye Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Why they need to produce mass friendly album ? They have all the cash in the world, and if they tour they would earn millions more I would like 21st century version of "Rocks" or "Get Your Wings" - great guitar driven album, after their comeback guitars weren't the same , and I am tired of "Crazy" "Crying" "I don't Wanna Miss A Thing" and other Medicore songs like "Jaded" or "Just Push Play" they lost edge with those albums - Pump and Permanent Vaction are great but rest is crap. Bring Old Aerosmith Back something like Rocks mixed with Pump would be a killer for fans. And I think Aerosmith want to go that way - look at Guitar Hero Aerosmith - it was almost all old songs , and band would sell the game better with "hits" like Crying. So I hope they want to make vintage albums with 21st century production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
