Among the many living legends from the dawn of the classic
rock era, few are more respected by fellow musicians and less appreciated by
modern music fans than John Fogerty;
the main man of Creedence Clearwater
Revival from1967-1972, and writer of countless hits
still sung in peoples to this day, and someone who I regard as the first truly
bad ass guitarist.
Sound City was a
recording studio located in Los Angeles. It was where many classic albums were
recorded, from artists like Neil Young,
Elton John, Dio, Rage Against The
Machine (you get the point, the list goes on). In May of 2011, it closed
its doors for good. Foo Fighters main
man Dave Grohl; whom himself recorded
a timeless classic in that studio, Nirvana’sNevermind album, took it upon
himself to purchase some items from the studio, including their analog mixing
console, analog being something thatDave
has expressed a great love for when recording music. After the purchase Dave
spent the next year or so directing a documentary on the studios history,
interviewing many of the artists, producers and other people in the music
business that have at some point worked there.
