Rick Rubin is fucking detestable

Date: February 4th, 2024 2:52 AM Author: slate piazza the fact that he’s making the rounds as anything other than a weirdo who got lucky is doing people a great disservice. he makes boomers blush with his bullshit (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5485736&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310443",#47364255) |
Date: February 4th, 2024 2:59 AM Author: gold crawly jap But don't you think he is some kind of musical genius? I mean, by his own testimony he has amazing taste. He didn't just lay there on the couch and collect a check. He would specifically tell the Red Hot Chili Peppers when what they were playing was 'good' and when it sucked. He had an amazing ability to tell rock stars when their songs blew and to go write other ones. He could produce your record. He could say TDNW this doesn't sound like a Top 40 banger.

Date: February 4th, 2024 3:01 AM Author: slate piazza yes HE was really good
but now he’s out there on podcasts saying “the listeners come last” and “you do things for you and it will work out best for everyone”
it’s fucking retarded and just aiding the narcissism that is already making young ones hard to deal with |

Date: February 4th, 2024 11:21 AM Author: Slimy pontificating masturbator field first off, anyone who ever told the RHCP that they were playing something that sounds good is not a musical genius (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5485736&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310443",#47364744) |

Date: February 4th, 2024 11:27 AM Author: gold crawly jap I don't think he's a musical genius. I was being glib. But I do think he's a good motivator leader of men. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5485736&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310443",#47364772) |

Date: February 4th, 2024 11:29 AM Author: Slimy pontificating masturbator field he definitely is. also, taste is subjective and i wouldn't say that liking RHCP or thinking something they played sounded good indicates that someone has bad taste in music. but my god i hate that band.

Date: February 4th, 2024 12:38 PM Author: gold crawly jap I said specifically his role is to get artists to make radio hits whatever that means to you. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5485736&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310443",#47364974) |

Date: February 4th, 2024 11:42 AM Author: comical mustard weed whacker keepsake machete Most "albums" he created had 1-2 good songs with 10 other songs. What's so incredible about that? If Red Hot Chili Peppers showed up at my door in 1990 with 20 songs I think I could tell them which 1 or 2 would be a hit.
From there its just paying someone at MTV to run the video and say "this is a hot new track from RHCP" and boom, you have your hit. |

Date: February 4th, 2024 5:18 AM Author: Startling orchestra pit He's very cliched and boomerific. A lot of his success is being in the right place at the right time and convincing people he's got some kind of magic. Plenty of people could fill that same role if they had his charisma. But there's value in having some outside voice with some cockiness of his own to walk in on a session and tell you what sucks and what doesn't. If you've ever tried to put an album together you think everything sounds great in its own way, but some stuff is just better than others and you need to hear it from someone else.

Date: February 4th, 2024 11:19 AM Author: gold crawly jap It's better than how records are made now with all of these naval gazing independent artists who sink so much time and money into a project when it really just blows. Even big name famous artists suck now that they're all independent and surrounded by nothing but yes men. It was better when that clout chasing Boomer was lying on the couch screaming this sucks you can do better.

Date: February 4th, 2024 1:10 PM Author: slate piazza agreed and I think Simon Cowell did the same exact thing except in public. he was willing to be an asshole and say the most obvious things about the contestants
or even if they were decidedly slightly above average (Susan Boyle) he knew how to craft their background story to sell an album or two to the masses |

Date: February 4th, 2024 11:23 AM Author: At-the-ready coffee pot He has an amazing ear for music. You guys are jealous. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5485736&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310443",#47364753) |

Date: February 4th, 2024 11:26 AM Author: gold crawly jap I don't even think he has a great ear. He just knows what is and what isn't a hit, and had the personality and gravitas to tell famous rock stars when they weren't bringing their A game. He is more like a coach. He got the most out of his players. I doubt he could ever write a song or has any better taste than the average person. His talent was motivating people and confronting rich spoiled brats and telling them the unvarnished truth. He's successful because he got these people to write catchy radio hits like Californication which is the only reason we know who they are and they're not playing clubs of 50 people.

Date: February 4th, 2024 1:11 PM Author: slate piazza I’m not saying he doesn’t. but his advice is complete trash
I’d respect him more if he said “I just have a great ear for music, and I was in the right place at the right time” |

Date: February 4th, 2024 11:25 AM Author: 180 violet water buffalo toaster Listen to music made by Glenn Danzig with Rick Rubin.
Then listen to music made by Glenn Danzig without Rick Rubin.
Everything Danzig did without him sounds like it was recorded in a wet basement.
Rubin is either an god-tier producer or at least knows how to employ god-tier production.

Date: February 4th, 2024 3:45 PM Author: magical swashbuckling rehab french chef He obliquely talks about dealing with idiots where he redirects them to their strengths. He's not advising everyone become a music producer or whatever. He even says he never expected to make money off it. He worked real jobs to produce records initially.
I can see how zozo autists are mad a guy figured out how to live well. |

Date: February 4th, 2024 6:25 PM Author: gold crawly jap Music all sounds the same now because zoomers are extremely comformist. In Rubin's era there were a lot more whacky, hyperoriginal acts that could never happen now. You're flat out wrong here. People making music they think others want to hear is exactly why culture is 100% dead. Do you think the Sex Pistols would happen today? Sid Vicious running around in a swastika t shirt? No. It's some gay Zoomer EDM that's utterly indistinguishable. So yeah, you're extremely retarded. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5485736&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310443",#47366174) |

For a Hollywood-type he's ahead of the curve. |
