Holy shit, everyone over the age of 10 hated this song with a passion the summer of 1986... but who knows, with DD instead of Stan Bush on lead and bass adjustment? A HIT BABY!!!
John C Reilly nodding his head in agreement about the bass taking away from the vocals and then raising his eyebrows when the producer disagrees is fucking hilarious
As a recording engineer, I can tell you, the actor playing the engineer did an excellent job playing an engineer watching his life pass before his eyes as he wonders where he went wrong to end up recording trash like this.
I know its been asked here many times, but since you actually are a recording engineer, in your professional opinion, do you think the bass is taking away from the vocal?
I never had heard the song as they released it in the official Boogie Nights soundtrack. And it was mixed exactly like Dirk and Reed wanted. Totally blasted out on the top end. It’s hilarious
It really DOES 😂😂😂 plus, that’s a reflection of the times of 1983. Cocaine was everywhere. And when you’re high on coke, everything sounds good and is a phenomenal work of art A great example of this is the short movie that AC/DC made in 1985 called Fly On The Wall. The setting is a bar and billiards room called The Crystal Ballroom… the host of events is a guy named Decadent Dan… a “she Elvis” named Suzie Cue just shows up dressed in pink and ready to run the table with some 9 ball, then does a horse gallop finger pistols dance in victory These mysterious secret agents enter the Crystal Ballroom dressed in trench coats and dark glasses…. Tell me that everyone on set wasn’t geeked out of their minds to come up with that storyline 😂
@@MyVideos-fm7ug I do that dance when ever I hear some corny 80’s song, especially in a store. Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check that out! Cocaine was big then but it’s still big now. It almost seems more socially normalized (but probably not delivered onto movie sets out in the open like it was in the 70’s and 80’s). So I wonder how much of the movies, shows, music and even stuff from content creators on social media we’re getting now are the product of coked-out creatives 🤣.
@@rizzo-films actually, coke is kind of dead these days. But that’s because methamphetamine from China to Messico, then into the US is booming and has been for some time. And I believe the US knowingly let’s it enter and get spread around, and for what is actually a good reason, which I know seems strange Maybe 3 or 4 years before this Chinese “ice” hit the US, people were beginning to catch onto the process of making us from pseudaphederin contained in 24 hour over the counter allergy pills, like Clararin D. Although, while being over the counter, they are still somewhat regulated, and because of people buying them to make meth. You have to ask the pharmacist for them, and if they decide whether or not you look legit or not, they sell them to you, and then your name recorded in the database. You’re allowed 1 box a month The REAL PROBLEM was the waste and byproducts that are left over when the process is complete. You have shit like sodium hydroxide (lye), sulphuric acid found in industrial drain pipe cleaners, and zippo fluid that needs disposed of. Many usually burn the stuff. But it also makes one hell of a bright fireball that turns colors from green, to blue, to white, and so forth. It creates a beacon to your location is anyone were to see it and call the police. So… a lot of times what happens is these people been tweaking for days having eaten little, and slept none. So they’re paranoid as hell when it comes time to clean up and dispose of their trash. Instead of burning everything, they’ll just throw it in a gas station dumpster, into waterways, and secluded fields, which end up becoming dump sites And that is no good when you have a town full of tweakers dumping their toxic byproducts into streams and other peoples land unbeknownst to them. That stuff can cause some ACTUAL environmental damage. These so called carbon emissions as nothing in comparison to meth toxins as they compile So at least now with it coming from China and Mexico, no longer do users have a reason or the means to cause serious environmental damage. Plus, people will take stupid risks in order to get the contents to “take off” and cook at hotter temperatures, and end up having the bottle ignite while in their hands setting THEM on fire. And you don’t just start doing the stop, drop, and roll boogie and it extinguishes. No way Sodium hydroxide… when in contact with just the slightest drop of water, it heats up to around 350 degrees F…. and all while contained inside a plastic Gatorade bottle full of highly flammable zippo fluid, which contains your cold medicine and lithium battery core, which is what makes it start cooking
I saw this before the Transformers Movie, so when I eventually did watch it, I had visions of Mark Wahlberg badly singing this while Optimus Prime beat Megatron's ass and I laughed so hard! Epic song, though.
What I always found hilarious about this, was that they recorded this scene chronologically BEFORE the first Transformers movie! MEANING-that the hit song from said movie, was written and recorded by an out of work porn star, and sold to Hasbro.....its sad how believable that sounds given what I know about Hollywood.
@@andrewburgemeister6684 I was cracking up because I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT when lead guitar gets thrown in there like that for it’s two seconds of blow hair back fame. Is a total distraction hahaha!
This is spot on what bad artists do in the studio. It’s never them. It’s always the equipment or YOU that is the problem. 0:33 the frustrated hand gesture about the guide vocal volume? Priceless!!🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣
This is the only period movie dealing with that era that NAILED the look of it all. Especially the hair and clothes. It's like they went back to 1983 to film it. Every detail is perfect.
This song reminds me of the Simpsons where Milhouse’s dad Kirk had a demo tape called. Can I borrow a feeling. Could you send me a jar of love. It’s hilariously bad.
What I need y’all to understand is that Mark was actually a member of New Kids on the Block for a hot second before he decided to go his own way. True story.
That is absolutely not true at all. Not only can he not sing, but he's gone into great detail in interviews about how he didn't have the voice to actually sing, and what you heard was what you got.
@@Danimal1177 uh...no not at all. The vocals in Rock Star were mixed. Mostly the singing is done by Miljenko Matijevic, who sang for Steelheart, and Jeff Scott Soto, who sang for Yngwie Malmsteen and Journey.
Well yeah, they stole it and recorded it in 1986. Dirk Diggler was so close to being the voice of a generation; it makes you think of what could have been if he had quit doing porn and further pursued his music career.
FirebirdCamaro1220 You are correct. He had a hit song out in 1988-89 called "No Myth." I love the song and the album is great! Michael is also married to Amy Mann, who was the lead singer for the 80s band, Til Tuesday. They did the song, "Voices Carry." Both Michael and Amy are both awesome musicians and songwriters.
This movie is great first time I saw this scene I think I laughed for about 5 minutes straight but I was high.. I sing I've made demos and no amount of studio magic could make this moron sound decent... Marky mark shoulda won an oscar for this role though cause it's some of his best work
One of the greatest movies of all time.... If we only knew the internet would of made this movie a reality yup your all this guy and woman are just roller girl....
