💬💬Watch our Interview with Michael Beinhorn: Multi-Platinum Producer: • Interview with Michael...
I sat down with the wonderful Michael Beinhorn to talk about his involvement with perhaps thee most iconic rock song of the ’90s. Everything from the drum sounds, guitar sounds, vocals, and songwriting is unbelievable! The track, of course, is “Black Hole Sun” by Soundgarden, which Michael produced and engineered.
Throughout his career, Michael has worked with artists like Herbie Hancock, The Violent Femmes, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soul Asylum, Hole, Ozzy Osbourne, Courtney Love, Marilyn Manson, Social Distortion, Korn, Golden Palominos, and Mew.
The albums he’s been involved with have a combined worldwide sales of more than 45 million! He is also one of a select few producers to have two albums debut in Billboard’s Top Ten in the same week: Marilyn Manson’s Mechanical Animals (#1) and Hole’s Celebrity Skin (#9). This achievement earned him a 1998 GRAMMY nomination for Producer of the Year.

As a bass player I really enjoyed hearing the isolated bass.

The track, of course, is "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden, which Michael produced and engineered.

Saw them on this tour. Kim Thayil does not get recognized enough. I was surprised to hear only "individual recording " tracks. But once it was mixed? Wow! There are good Producers, and great Producers. This man is in the latter category. Soundgarden was the diamond. He cut and polished them to brilliance.

@gingataff 3 года назад

True, though I believe Kim only played the solos on Superunknown, Chris did all the rhythm guitars.

@drummaman1 5 лет назад

23:49 - "they're along with the ride for you, it's not like you have to create the ride for them" is 1000% the reason why producers exist. The extra brain in the room, with enough musical knowledge to drive a musician in a direction. Like Sir George Martin with the Beatles. Excellent video!!!

It took me a while to get into rock music, growing up in a family that listened to soul, hip hop, r&b, and jazz primarily. I was just starting to discover how much I like rock music when I played the first rockband game, and thus I heard this song for the first time I could remember. I was blown away by the composition of this song, that "tension" existing throughout the entire track, how powerful the vocal is, everything about it really. I aspire to be a producer/engineer myself. To be able to watch this interview with the man who produced one of my favorite rock songs, hear the individual elements, learn the genius that went into recording and mixing this masterpiece, is exactly what I needed to see today! I loved this! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this for us! I look forward to seeing more!

This song takes me straight back to my adolescence in Australia, I was either 14 or 15 when I first heard this on the radio and for a teenager the melancholia really stood out amongst the usual pop and rock of that era, it was definitely a unique song with that watery 60s sounding guitar. This song was the emo sequel to Here Comes the Sun from the Beatles.

@Bsquared1972 5 лет назад

Great vid! As an owner of the Fender Vibratone 'Leslie,' I can tell you that it comes with a pigtail (crossover) that separates the frequencies; hi/lo goes back to the amp, while the mids go to the leslie speaker. That's why the mids are so sweet when recording it. Also--the speaker is actually stationary; there is a Styrofoam bit that spins, and it only has one opening, which creates that Doppler effect. The cab has openings on the sides/top for miking in stereo...SRV did it the same way for 'Cold Shot.' This tune is haunting, and you did it justice...fantastic!

@regnifelrub 2 года назад

That was enlightening. Thank you. I was already wondering how a speaker can rotate endlessly when it is likely that it is wired ;-). Same with a Leslie. It is never the speaker that rotates, but some horn or styrofoam...

I’ve probably watched this video half a dozen times already. This is such an epic in depth look at a truly great song. Michael’s passion for the recording process is unmistakable and it’s so interesting to hear a detailed account along with some of his very distinct philosophies on music and recording. The thing that blows me away about this song is that all the main instrumentation sounds HUGE. The drums, bass, and guitars soloed are enormous and with the vocals it’s amazing that nothing gets overshadowed in the mix which is due in large part to the arrangement. Thank you Warren, these insights into the recording process of handpicked songs are fascinating to me, keep up the great work!

It was nice to hear something about Chris's choice to leave in his intakes and exhales after each vocal. I've never so consistently heard a singer's breathing in their recordings as Cornell's.

Producing: conflict engagement not avoidance! Glad to hear he fought for the sound he wanted. The best album by this group. Clean and hairy.....what a concept. Great interview. Thanks to everyone for this post.

Superunknown is my favorite album from the 90's Seattle scene. This video was incredible to watch. Thank you Warren and Michael for taking the time to sit down and share all of this amazing information about the song, record and the band itself. Truly a gift to hear all of this history.

Cornell is the best rock singer of his generation, hands down. Brilliant ideas and soundscape. Michael B is a treat to listen to breaking this down. I'd would have sworn those big guitars were baritone doubled..

@Producelikeapro 5 лет назад

Hi Jim, agreed what a singer! Yes, it's amazing to think those guitars are just massive tones!!

@tictocbang7443 5 лет назад

Agreed. I saw them play a surprise show at a small Seattle club. They were having trouble with an amp, so while they fixed it, Cornell sang a solo acoustic version of Black Hole Sun. Absolutely unreal.

"Cornell is -the best- my favourite rock singer of his generation," Music is subjective. There is no "best".

Great, great, great. Chris Cornell was an amazing musician and one of the all time greatest rock vocalists. It is such a thrill to hear this song presented in this fashion. Thank you Warren!

I keep coming back to this video. Everything about the process and especially how Chris worked is really great, but the way he talks about that demo is so inspiring that I get choked up every time.

@mrdee5260 5 лет назад

2 things stood out to me...1) Michael said Electronic Music was the inspiration behind this...holy schnikies never would've thought that. and 2) He does not like to do too much compression on those vocals, no wonder...that sound! Wowsers...these interviews are so damn valuable thank you Warren!

Superunknown is top #2 albums of all time for me. Was 14yo when it came out. Changed my world. Big fan of Beinhorn's work.

That snare sounds reminiscent of When the Levee Breaks. I love how the ring makes it sustain instead of a ton of reverb.

@Producelikeapro 5 лет назад

TalkShowHost such an amazing snare sound!!

@Clayphish 5 лет назад

From what I read back in the 90s was that this particular snare was very sensitive with how it was hit. If it wasn’t hit just right it would ring out inconsistently. This really says a lot about how great a drummer Matt Cameron is. While he was/is very tight, consistent and creative, it’s the subtleties of his playing combined that really make his drumming stand out.

This made me sob..... The sound that is soundgarden will forever echo through the ever expanding universe. This man will never die

@johnvalencia9927 4 года назад

yeah makes me sad too. if you were around in 93 you'd know this spooky sounding music definitely matched the times. the world in southern CA actually felt like this song- as well as all that other moody grunge music

As evidenced by these "Inside the Song" episodes it's absolutely essential to delve into these incredible songs retrospectively and to hear the passion, emotion and artistic vision at play in the creation of masterpieces like "Black Hole Sun." We all need to hear and remember the ideological and philosophical approaches of artists like Soundgarden and producers like Michael Beinhorn as they craft the most iconic songs of all time. What was in Chris Cornell's head when he wrote the song? What was the vision in the mind of Michael Beinhorn as he collaborated with the band and captured such artistic genius at work? A collision of preparation, experience, chance and love. The decision to let Chris engineer his own vocal alone is so trusting and full of faith. Honestly, Michael is gifted beyond his musical acumen existing with a level of responsibility and devotion to what could be our most human form of expression. I'm grateful for him. Thanks for doing this, Warren. Rock on!

Thank you so much Warren for bringing this new series to us! This is as good as it gets. What a wonderful and respectful way of paying tribute to the great artists who made our musical journey so exciting! I remember the very first time I heard that song on the radio, wondering what had just hit me...
