Hey Champ! Thanks for the new episode! Hope you and the family are well. I interviewed Mick Jones ( producer for 5150 ) back in 2000 ( I was a camera operator for Foreigner when they played in Reno ). I can confirm that Mick was brought in as an " overseer " but mainly worked with Sammy/Edward on " Dreams " & " Love Walks In " in terms of the vocal performances and the editing of " Dreams " itself. Great episode with John. BTW, digging through some pics and found these little gems. Enjoy!
Interesting episode - but really - who hurt this guy? He’s so guarded about everything. The editing (the need for it) was obvious. Everything, from his full on retreats and unwarranted defensiveness, to assuming you were trying to sandbag him, must have been a real task…. Well done - but man what a workout.
Maybe a little too much insider baseball without the reveal - but we certainly got something new from him. He needs to decompress and let some of this stuff out and get out of his own way.
But again - well done. I know the cast is most likely drawing to a close - my hope is you keep it going. Thanks Dweezil.
Congrats, Garbeaj!
Thanks so much Benjamin! It was great fun!
Here is some great footage of VH live in 1984 at Donington.
No idea why they removed it!! Looks like it went pretty much viral within the guitar community.

Hi Dweezil,
Thank you for the great Shanks episode. Loved every minute of it.
