Noisey: Empecemos desde el princpio. ¿Cuál y cuándo fue con la primera banda que grabaste algo?
Fue seguramente mi primera banda, Skin Yard, en 1985, a través de mi estudio de cuatro pistas casero. Cuando empecé a trabajar en un estudio real en 1986, mis primeros clientes fueron Soundgarden y Green River.
Trabajaste de nuevo con Soundgarden el año pasado. ¿Cómo empezó la cosa?

Noisey: Let’s start at the beginning. Who and when was the first band you recorded?
Jack Endino:
That would have clearly been my own band, Skin Yard, in 1985, via my home four-track studio. When I started working in a real studio in 1986, almost my very first clients were Soundgarden and Green River.
You worked with Soundgarden again last year. How did that come about?
I was doing some archival-related work for them, and I found a 16-track demo of this old song from March 1986, «Storm.” I had actually been there helping them mix it back then, but in the ensuing 28 years we all totally forgot about it. I sent around a new rough mix of the song to jog everyone’s memories, just for the fun of it, and before you know it, they wanted to make a modern re-recording of it, and they asked me to do it, which was pretty cool, since the last time I recorded them was 1990.

Dave Grohl recuerda como el MTV Unplugged de Nirvana pudo haber sido un desastre
Dave Grohl (about Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged): «That show was supposed to be a disaster»
Sacado de // From: http://hub.aa.com/ – http://portalternativo.com/
En una reciente entrevista con American Way, Dave Grohl, ha reconocido que el éxito de la actuación de Nirvana en los MTV Unplugged fue toda una sorpresa teniendo en cuenta la preparación llevada a cabo.
Ese concierto se suponía que iba a ser un desastre. No habíamos ensayado. No estábamos preparados para tocar en acústico.. Hicimos algunos ensayos y fueron terribles. Incluso a la gente de la MTV pensaban que era terrible. Entonces nos sentamos y las cámares empezaron a rodar y algo encajó. Se convirtió en una de las actuaciones más memorables de la banda.

That’s why more than 20 years after the recording of Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged in New York, taped only a few blocks away from where we’re sitting, I ask Dave Grohl about that show and about that song.
“Oh, yeah,” he starts, looking toward the ceiling, searching his head for details of a long-ago faded memory. Then he straightens up and nods. A smile purses his lips. “That show was supposed to be a disaster. We hadn’t rehearsed. We weren’t used to playing acoustic. We did a few rehearsals and they were terrible. Everyone thought it was horrible. Even the people from MTV thought it was horrible. Then we sat down and the cameras started rolling and something clicked. It became one of the band’s most memorable performances.”
