Re: Stay of Execution
Bob's contribution to The Fragile was basically sequencing - song order. That's all.
I like Ezrin, I would have loved to seen what he could have done with the UYI albums. But he's a sleeze too. He wants royalties, song writing credit and to play on the album as a musician. Look at every album he's produced. It's no wonder he tried to get Axl to dump what he had and start over with HIM.
Why doesn't anyone call King Animal a disappointment?
Edit: apples auto correct can be stupid sometimes.

Re: Stay of Execution
The only thing dates on AFD is the reverb on the snare. The sound on AFD is what they wanted. A throw back, non overproduced kick ass rock album. The mix is perfect as are Duff's and Slash's tone.

Re: Stay of Execution
They wanted Mutt Lang or Bill Price to produce AFD. There's a lot of reverb everywhere on that album. It wasn't a classic sound, it was a standard 80s sound, it was just recorded old school. Had it not been for the band, those guys, it would have sounded no different than a typical Ozzy album in the 80s.
Had Rick Rubin produced AFD it would have been even better, imo. Clink was a good guy to do what they wanted and was lucky enough to land Axl and Slash and Duff and Izzy who knew what they wanted to sound like. But he is by no means a great producer.

Rick Rubin would have never worked for those idiots and would have laughed and walked off. Clink dealed with all the BS and wasn't too involved and helped shaped their sound and George Marino at Sterling sound did a great job on the Master. I think AFD sounds awesome.

Rick loves Guns N Roses, especially Axl. And he worked with outright lunatics in RHCP, Beastie Boys and was able to deal with Glenn Danzig... He could hang with GNR, especially back then.
And I think the mixing of AFD was poor too.
