Re: Bill Bottrell interview
These old timers are on to something! When I go back and listen to recordings I've done, the best ones have almost always been live with flaws.
I think there is a mentality that goes into making a "perfect" recording. It makes a person scared. Instead of being on the offensive of creating a killer record, you get on the defensive thinking you may mess up. This kills music!
Having the balls to not give a shit is a huge part of the process. I find that most people who are worried about perfection are obsessiong about "perfection" because they are insecure. Just make a song and shut up!
