Cool breakdown of this magnificent song. Tom Scholz was the mastermind, but boy is Brad Delp awesome.

I sold Tom Scholz speakers when he had the company that made the Rockman™. I talked to that douchebag on the phone. Then he stiffed me. Still owes me money.

I also sold speakers to Steve Albini. Steve pays his bills like a champion. Fuck Tom Scholz.

I gotta figure that dirty Armenian Sib Hashian (RIP) had something to do with this.

Don't tell that to Mutt Lange. All the guitar tracks on Hysteria were recorded from a Rockman....explains the shitty tone.

The thing had like one tone - crunch. I borrowed it from my friend for a couple days, I hated it.

That was probably that walkman looking thing huh? I think for a while he made some of the effects more professionally in racks and etc. I don't remember many sustainers before him. I saw a video once where he could get the note to ring out forever basically until the next one was struck.

That's it, Mike. It looked like a big Walkman. But everything sounded like trebly, crunchy high-end. It was supposed to replace needing a bunch of pedals, i guess. And it had delay and stuff. No wonder Def Leppard liked it.

It made you sound just like Boston.

Hold on just a minute.....I'm all for ripping on Tom Sholz for being a douche, but the guitar tone and playing on the first Boston album is pretty fucking good. He wouldn't be the first highly talented asswipe in the music industry.

It's certainly a signature sound. I just don't think every kid who picked up a guitar needed to sound the same way.

Anyway, it's a matter of personal taste. I like guitars that sound like guitars. I don't care for that over-processed sound. I think we've discussed before how the remixes ruined all that great old ZZ Topp stuff with echo, making it sound like it was recorded in a closet.

How much? We should start a GoFundMe and shame him in the process. Nothing draws the board together quite like a stupid cause.

It wasn't a lot of money. It's not like he ever used my stuff for production. He bought a few small speakers from me and then never paid.
