Well, cant always believe what u read on the net. In any case, i have seen sound city, and while it was a cool doco, imho the new foos album sounds like any of their previous albums played thru a normal home stereo, car stereo and ipod (i.e. the way MOST people listen to music)
If playing and recording through all that vintage gear gets grohls socks off, great! Doesn't change the fact they still just sound like the foo fighters from years gone by.
Back in black would still be a "classic" album if it had been recorded on modern gear. Its the musicians and the song writing that makes a classic song or album. Not what mic pre it was recorded through. You are obviously involved in that industry so i understand your defence of all the equipment that you love but the simple truth is that you don't NEED that gear to write and record great music.
Your first post was bagging misha for his efforts and his gear. Cool, thats your opinion and you entitled to it. But the proof is in the pudding so to speak. Despite your opinion, he is still writing and recording, putting out helpful videos, playing some fucking cool guitars, having fun and making a living. If the first periphery album had been recorded thru a neve, would it have sold more albums or made more of an impact? No.
