So THAT'S who Desmond Child is, and what he looks like! As a rock fan for decades (i'm 57), i've always seen his name on albums or 45's, but never 'got to know him'. This video fantastically filled in the blanks! He is a legend!
I listened to an interview with GE Smith, the guitarist from SNL and he mentions working in 'Desmond CHild and Rouge', which was a band in the seventies and how Desmond Child went on to be a songwriter. I'd never heard of him, the guy can write a tune, no doubt about that. And frankly, the notoriety seems the least attractive part of being a musician to me, so it looks like he got the right choice when Bill Murray says "if you have the choice between fame and money...take the money". Plus he got to write and get heard a slew of songs. I wonder what happened to the rest of Rouge...
Funny I was a big bonjovi fan (I was only 12) and my mum bought me the slippery when wet record. I learnt all the lyrics, and read all the sleeve notes and kept seeing this Desmond Child name. I knew he wasn’t in the band cos I had their poster on my wall. I was so intrigued and there was no internet. It was a real mystery for years. I later had a chance to meet Desmond and I told him the story and he got a kick out of it!!
That dude wrote or co-wrote so many great songs. I always read his name credited somewhere on my albums and asked myself who he is. No internet for me back then. ^^
@@glennjohnson2043 I was thinking that when he said that as I love the Beatles but I think Desmond was being modest when he said that as I takes some real talent for him to write that many songs in the top 100. The Beatles are at the top of the heap but I love singing many of Desmonds songs in the cover bands that I play in.
400 songs to make one hit. I love that. Thank you Des that's probably the best motivator I've ever heard. I've written 100 and feel down but not anymore. Thanks!
This interview needed to be longer. They didn't talk about the fact that his real name is not Desmond Child. He made a fantastic solo album back in the mid nineties. He's in fact of Cuban descent. Desmond Child is a fascinating cat.
Well, I'd been born and grew up in Soviet Union, an absolutely isolated country, and when I was 10, one day I had Bon Jovi's 'New Jersey', and there were many songs written "composed by ... and Desmond Child", so I was wonder who is that mysterious guy? Where is his picture on the cover? Isn't he the band member? But why and how? So 33 years passed since that day, now I can see him, hear his voice and discover, that so many many songs were written by this genious "mysterious" Desmond Child : ))
Their best song is often said to be "Wanted Dead or Alive", which didn't involve Desmond. Other hits not involving him include "I'll Be There for You", "Bed of Roses", "Always", "It's My Life", "Blaze of Glory", etc...
One of Demond's songwriting heroes is the New York genius singer/songwriter Laura Nyro, also a huge favourite of Paul Stanley, Alice Cooper, Todd Rundgren. See RUclips discussions of Nyro by the latter two and Elton John.
Lupco Kotevski Yeah, I can understand their reverence for Nyro. Her songwriting prowess second to none, and I love her recordings best of her songs made famous by other artists.
Talented man, I remember he saved Bon Jovi, Areosmith, Joan Jett, Alice Cooper, Cher and many others. At one time he had several songs in the top 20 at once. I put him up there with Lennon and McCartney.
This was incredibly satisfying to watch from a budding songwriter's perspective. My favorite Desmond Child composition at the moment is "Save up all you tears" & I've always loved Aerosmith's Dude ...

He produced my friends’ band called “The Rasmus”. The record was called “Black Roses”. There was not a single good track on that album, and the record company paid this guy A HUGE amount of money, plus he got the song writing credits for every song...they made the next record by themselves, and it was like 100 X cheaper and 10 X better...😬
A lot of this is contacts. If you have a couple of friends in record companies you get easy access to artists and push your songs onto them and then the record company promotes the fuck out of it. He ain't no fuckin Lennon/McCartney.
I think this guy may be single handedly responsible for me saying you only need to hear one Bon Jovi song because they all sound identical.... He himself said "you have to have chemistry with the artist." He should have known when he didn't have it, and let your friends save their money.
This is a great video! I was a super Holy Roller in the eighties. I am totally 180 degrees in the other direction and now I really love this music. The biographical and techno talk is fun too!
Dire Straits wrote Money for Nothing after seeing Vince Neil and Motley Crue on MTV. Who knew Vince was also the inspiration for an Aerosmith song. The real irony is that Desmond Child later wrote music for Vince Neil as a solo artist. Chances are Child helped write probably every song ever written over the past 45 years. I’ve seen him credited everywhere. Saw another interview with him from several years ago and he came off like a real egotistical asshole. Here he’s humble, thoughtful, and deliberate. Brilliant songwriter who deserves to be in the R&R Hall of Fame one day.
@@mindcontrol67 Their first top 40 hit was "Runaway" before working w/ Desmond. The latter's only hit before working w/ Bon Jovi was "I Was Made for Lovin' You", co-written by Paul Stanley of Kiss. The melody for the chorus of "You Give Love a Bad Name" was originally used in "If You Were a Woman and I Was a Man" by Bonnie Tyler, and it flopped. It was then given new melodies & lyrics by Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora, and it became the first #1 hit in the Billboard Hot 100 for all three songwriters. Together, they composed three number ones in the US. Separately, Desmond & Draco Rosa topped the charts w/ "Livin' la Vida Loca", Jon & Richie w/ "I'll Be There for You", and Jon alone w/ "Blaze of Glory".
He is amazingly talented. Very, very few people can really write songs. Lots of bands or people may hit on one or 2 good songs but that's all they have in them. Then you have just a handful of people that are prolific writers. I am in awe of anyone that can write or play at a high level, but I think the ability to regularly write good songs is the rarer talent.

Full credit to Desmond Child, a really great song writer BUT I was always disappointed when some of my heroes like Kiss and Aerosmith had to resort to using outside writers. Cher and Ricky Martin I get, as they are not song writers but Kiss?
Kiss have used outside songwriters,they have used ''ghost''- guitarists in the studio,when Ace Frehley was too drunk to play,they have used pre-recorded tracks,for ''live''-shows,have heavily ''doctored'',''live-records'',you name it. It's nothing new in the music business.
This was a time when you had to release an album a year, or even two if it didn't catch on. No matter how talented, you're gonna run out of ideas at some point running at that pace and getting some fresh people in to spice up the songs ain't a bad thing.
@@GeeVanderplas Yes that is the real issue with record labels who demand a certain amount of albums per their contract. Not every artist is like the Beatles who churned hit after hit.
I loved Desmond Child and Rouge!! Especially the song "The Night Was Not". Good to see him after so long 😊 P.S. Playing rock made it possible for Bon Jovi to go all countrified, which sucks for those who loved that sound.

The man with the formula to stadiumrock. Only Jim Steinman reaches the same level of greatness. My favorite lesser known Desmond Child songs are "Does Anybody Really Fall In Love Anymore" in the Kane Roberts version and "Shocker" by Dudes Of Wrath. Nowadays songwriters are pure cancer.
@@TheProphetJoshua True. Didnt Richie Sambora offer "Does Anybody..." to Cher too when they were dating? All of these songs could also have been recorded by MeatLoaf, Aerosmith and Bonnie Tyler hahaha. So interchangeable yes, but doesnt mean they would fit just ANY artist.
Late 70s was an odd but fun time for music with so many different bands jumping on the disco bandwagon. The Grateful Dead even threw in a few disco flavored tracks on a few albums.

He only HELPED to write a lot of these songs. Take "Dude Looks Like a Lady" for example. Tyler came up with the idea and the lyric base and Perry came up with the riff. So exactly how much DID Desmond do on that record? Same with "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi. They already had the song but didn't like it and brought Child in to help fix it. He's more like a producer than a song writer in that respect.

" Don't bore us, get to the chorus! " Brilliant songwriter. Nice he mentions that " I was made" is pure Motown Supremes. And he took "Bat out of hell" to the heavenly side!
First time I ever became conciously aware of Desmond Child was when "Poison" dropped. That began what is now a 30 year obsession with Alice Cooper. That said, odd the video didn't touch on the fact that Child was the first person to employ Autotune in a song, that song being "Believe" by Cher. That single song would change music forever and it's still being used, now ad nauseam, over 20 years later.
@@maxant4285 When autotune was first used, it was something new and exiting. Now it has been so overused that people like you and me are sick of it. The problem is not with autotune itself, it's the fact that it has been so overused.
Desmond is one of the best. Other collaborator/songwriters on this par: John Hiatt, Phil Vassar, Babyface, Prince, Ke$ha. Songs done by others but written by these songwriters are epic, even if you don't appreciate the original songwritten versions.

@@jamesrudd8705 Still listen to it from time to time. You can really tell this was when he was working with Paul Stanley a lot. Many of the songs have that 80s Paul/KISS sound with a little more of an R&B edge.

80 Top 40 songs is some achievement. Unreal 👏.
The "Dude" story is the funniest. What's even funnier is that Aerosmith was a big influence on the Crue.
I feel like this is a condensed course in songwriting. Desmond is a modern day songwriting legend.
400 songs to make one hit. I love that. Thank you Des that's probably the best motivator I've ever heard. I've written 100 and feel down but not anymore. Thanks!

Alice Cooper's Poison is incredibly musically sophisticated.

He is neither a child nor a cat.
He picked Desmond for demon, he thought himself a child of a demon.
He mentions it's John.
"Dude looks like a lady" basically was the eighties' version of "Lola" by the Kinks.
Yeah except Steve never "went there" with her......
Very talented man and seems very humble. This guy helped revive so many bands with big hits for them

Am I the only one who's seen Desmond Child's name on loads of albums / cd covers over the last few decades, but never seen his face ???

" Don't bore us, get to the chorus! " Brilliant songwriter. Nice he mentions that " I was made" is pure Motown Supremes. And he took "Bat out of hell" to the heavenly side!
That was Jim steinman

It's really a walk down the memory lane. What wonderful music!
That was utterly fascinating
First time I ever became conciously aware of Desmond Child was when "Poison" dropped. That began what is now a 30 year obsession with Alice Cooper. That said, odd the video didn't touch on the fact that Child was the first person to employ Autotune in a song, that song being "Believe" by Cher. That single song would change music forever and it's still being used, now ad nauseam, over 20 years later.
I looked up "Believe" on Wikipedia and there is no mention of Desmond Child being involved. It says that Mark Taylor added the autotuned.
And whoever did it deserves death.
@@maxant4285 When autotune was first used, it was something new and exiting. Now it has been so overused that people like you and me are sick of it. The problem is not with autotune itself, it's the fact that it has been so overused.
Wow, so humble...right
Desmond child and rouge - my love is insane 😍
Really lovely guy to work with
Grandissimo Desmond
'Trash' is one of my favourite records ever.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGWRITER S 😁
Desmond is one of the best. Other collaborator/songwriters on this par: John Hiatt, Phil Vassar, Babyface, Prince, Ke$ha. Songs done by others but written by these songwriters are epic, even if you don't appreciate the original songwritten versions.
If I'm not mistaken he also helped Jon and Richie write "Wanted Dead Or Alive".
Desmond Child doesn’t have a credit for this song. But he wrote a lot with them, so maybe he did help them...
Great talent!
Legendary writer
The man’s a god damn genius!!!🥰🥰

I don't know why but 1:06 reminds me of something from Spinal Tap.... I laughed so hard!
:)
The Legend.
Desmond had such a great voice, i'm suprised he didn't release more solo work. i always thought Discipline was a great cd.
Solid album, for sure.
@@jamesrudd8705 Still listen to it from time to time. You can really tell this was when he was working with Paul Stanley a lot. Many of the songs have that 80s Paul/KISS sound with a little more of an R&B edge.
What stories. What a career 👏👏👌
