- Producer Ross Robinson brings life to the dead.
Dubbed the “godfather of nü-metal,” his raw, unvarnished production on albums by KoЯn, Slipknot, and Sepultura redefined heavy metal by stripping away the glitz and glamour of hair bands still partying on the Sunset Strip in favor of a new sound marked by anger, intensity, and honesty...

The singular universal truth that Ross Robinson has continually rediscovered is that nothing stays the same. Not our bodies, not this earth, not this galaxy, none of it will last as it is right now.
"I can depend 100% on my ideas, thoughts and opinions changing," Robinson says, taking a momentary breather from capturing another raw performance at his home / studio. "I'm basically a constant liar because if I think I know something, I'm lying, although at the time, I really believe it."
And thus Robinson has arrived at what may be the pinnacle of recording music and perhaps life itself: the moment. Ross is in constant fluid motion, working feverishly to get musicians to lose themselves in the moment. To forget whatever might be on their mind, to lose focus in order to gain focus. It is, frankly, what Ross is known for. "I'm constantly trying to get people to not think," he explains.

First two Slipknot records sound fucking massive, major props to Ross for that. Plus he's the man responsible for the "Gimme a scream, Corey! YEEEAAAAAAH!!!" exchange on Get This.
you will love redeemer from norma jean, trust me. produced by ross. same brutal vocals. top notch grossy mixing.
From the stories I've heard about Ross, he's like the Gordon Ramsay of music producers. Super chill, nice guy that's fun to be around when not recording. But once you're in the studio, he's a fucking nightmare.
And I fucking love it.
I can imagine. All the same I think I'd prefer that to having Phil Spector waving a gun around!
Ross seems to be legendary for pushing musicians to their physical and emotional limits and then taking it an extra mile. Every record he records is mixed well obviously, but theres also an emotional intensity in the tracks that many records lack. The man makes great records.
totally! the vocal performances on those records are unreal
There are stories of him pushing members of Glassjaw and At the Drive in to the edge with his emotional manipulation, for example telling the recently bereaved drummer of one to play the kick like it was keeping his Grandmother's heart going.
This guy’s energy and passion that he gives off: no wonder why the 1st albums of Korn, Limp, and SK were so intense...
This dude is on another plane of reality. He's talking about universes and shit. This video should be longer for such a legend.
For sure man
Yeah I wanted to hear more of him.
@Matt G Unless he's on acid on every interview he does then I doubt it. He's always like that.
Ross is 100% ~ 100% Legend
100% Agree
It got to a point back when I was a teenager buying albums just cause his name was on it. Dude is a legend. The second glassjaw album and the Atdi record are two of my favorites ever.
Korn self-titled & Slipknot self-titled sound loud, huge, clear and raw. What a legend
There's also self-titled Soulfly album
I’ve always loved what RR brings to the party - those early nu-metal albums really ‘formed’ me as a kid. Slipknot’s ‘IOWA’ is still one of my all-time favourite metal albums. I don’t think you can get much better from a raw, recorded performance than that.
Oh man...that mic is something special. Jonathan Davis belted out the beginning words of Blind, Corey probably screamed Disasterpiece into that mic, Robert Smith glorified that mic, etc. even little things can be treasured.
man, the Microphone costs about 35000 bucks and it is second hand.
I love the way he talks. It's just one continuous stream of consciousness with this pantameter that sounds just like music.
Thanks for checking out the video Louie! 'Ppreciate it
Ross is an absolute legend and pioneer. respect
That's a Wes Borland painting at 5:54. Great gift.
Best producer in the world, he captures emotions not just sound which makes him special, he gives the artist the freedom to express and give it there all as if their life depended on it. So inspired, all the best ross❤
Sepultura's album "roots" Korn's first and best album in my opinion and so Slipknot' first album..I meant, what else can you ask for?Ross is a lagend!
He also produced "Iowa" by Slipknot
He also worked with Deftones on their earlier songs and produced Glassjaw's first 2 albums. Amazing producer.
he also did limp bizkit’s first album three dollar bill y’all
@@ohYex + two brutal norma jean records. redeemer is really chaotic insanity. just these vocals on that album are another level. redeemer has best mix i ever fucking heard, thx to his skill...
@@DavidS-kz7ik Song..Fist
What he did with Korn alone, my god, makes him a legend. I love his voice, too :)
Absolutely. He even produced their demo for the band Creep around 1992, which was their band name before they found JD and created Korn. Most real Korn fans know about Creep, L.A.P.D, and Sexart though so I'm sure you know about Creep.
Ross has produced most of my favorite albums from my childhood.
what a legend, one of the first producers that really got me attention way back when i was a kid
This series is just absolutely mega. Love it.
glad you are loving it. Subscribe for more!
This series makes me hopeful about rock again. It's still alive!
Awesome!!! RR is one of my favorite producers/engineers! Worship and Tribute by Glassjaw, Redeemer by Norma Jean, Relationship of Command by ATD-I are some of my absolutely favorite sounding albums!
THAT REDEEMER REFERENCE. People seems to not forget about that record, omg.!
The men behind magic sound...that make Korn so unique Untitled and Life is peachy thanks Ross...!!!!
RR produced Burn, Piano Island, Burn, one of the best albums ever. Some of the dopest sounds I’ve ever heard.
a milestone in hardcore
I don't think I've checked in with this guy since the late 90's and I was shocked at how old he looks.
Then I checked the date and we're talking a good twenty years ago.
Time really does fly.
It's a pleasue to been shown around such a prolific producer's studio.
Gene was a revelation on the drums - giving 1000% on the tubs from day one. He could be playing a mid-week middle band on a 3 band bill at a half empty skid row bar here in Vancouver - and, play his kit like he was a multi-limbed jackhammer
1:50 this claim still stands, first two Slipknot albums have not been topped yet by the band (they never would anyway) or any other. The anger, the darkness, the intensity, the sound. I've been searching for years to find something that can top IOWA...to no avail.
love you ross best goddamn nu metal godfather man!
Music is a life form. And it likes to feed off of Earthquaker Devices...
Thanks to Ross for Vanilla Ice Hard to swallow album!
I own that cd 💿
While Numetal is crap these days, Ross is responsible for so much of the music I enjoyed and discovered during my formative years in the late 90's and early 2000's. Much respect for his contribution to music. Also, the Gene Hoglan story is amazing! Gene is a beast!
The Gene Hoglan story/painting!!!
Always loved his old school sound. Dude had a signature stamp on all his recordings
ATDI.. man that band changed me.
I would absolutely love to meet and hang with Ross one day. He captured everything I love about music all in one with whatever he produced. He knows how to pull it out of someone and show them they are better than what they think of themselves. If that makes any sense. Fuck it , only two of you will actually read this 🤷♂️🤘
I read it twice, if that counts.
AT THE DRIVE IN!!! one the best bands ever
So rad. Definitely my favorite producer.
I like how he keeps thr albums he produces raw even if im not a nu metal fan he does a great job getting energrtic peformences out of the bands he records he has great bass tones especially on roots that is one of the best bass tones ever
I don't understand why someone who loves music can ever think a genre is dead
This could’ve been three times as long.
I am so happy to hear someone use the term "tough" from my childhood! Meaning great!
Frank Green tuff
Ross thanks for all your music creations!!! send my love! ;)
Mad respect for this guy.
Gotta love that the first thing he pulls is a ten thousand dollar microphone.
And he keeps it in the BATHROOM! I lost it there. Haha
you never know when inspiration will strike and bathrooms have great natural reverb! just don't drop it in the toilet.
I love this series! This is one of my favorite episodes. Your whole channel is rad as fuck
been 10 years since i was i that studio. Epic memories.
Still my favorite producer. If i will ever make an long list of why i love so many albums with his touch, it will be so fucking detailed. I've learned so much about production, music and how to feel it through, thx to his attitude. I wish that i can talk with him about music, omg. So sad it will never come true..
Wish Glassjaw and him would work something out so we could see the video tape the Everything you ever wanted to know about Silence sessions. I know Im dreaming on that. They have pretty much written that album off due to the bad experiences with RoadRunner Records. Still, It would be sick to 👀
turns out the $10,000 mic is awesome
It’s paid for itself once or twice. lol
i'd pay good money for that gene hoglan painting, what a drummer!
I remember when Fred introduced me to Ross at Dante's Purgatory in Jacksonville, FL as the fella who was going to produce their first album and thinking to myself he didn't look anything like the guys who were producing music in the north FL area at the time.
Ross Robinson in the music industry is like Quentin Tarantino in the film industry.
hoglans a beast drummer, he played with so many legendary metal groups
Revolutionary
low-key knuckle dragger vinyl - respect to Ross
So awesome... he produced some of my favorite albums. So cool to see what his work process is like
Ross are a Legend producer!!
My hero.
Produced Fist from Deftones too
Dave Thomson what is Fist?
it's hidden track from adrenaline
Meshuggapeth Its the "Hidden Track" on Adrenaline after the last track, Fireal.
Ross is the best producer there is. Also KoRn's best producer! Wish they would make more albums with this man! Ross is a mad scientist! He knows his shit. He knows how to bring it out of people... esp Jonathan Davis! I know Jon hates working with him now, but man... those two together make magic happen!
kornfreak78
Why does he hate making music with him?
kornfreak78 It worked on Korn & Peachy, but I think Korn is stronger on Serenity of Suffering than the Ross-produced Korn III
Meccarox Ross would mentally torture the entire band mates of KoRn especially Jonathan because he wanted to make them sound real and it’s mostly the reason Jonathan kinda hates some songs he sings live
Wes Borland painting behind the monitors
You re a man of culture aswell
First thing I spotted
He has Leonard Cohen's "The Future" breath captured in a box. 😂❤
That was amazing! I could listen to his stories all day..
Tracking 14 songs with Ross would be the absolute crowning achievement of my entire life. I could die fulfilled.
watch out for flying flowerpots
@@EarthQuakerDevices thank you. I will.
Ross Robinson Legend

i just go and go until the craving is satisfied 2:03

Amazing!
"anybody that's drifting.. Get a lil HIT" Fucking love him so much
Dude needs to make some audiobooks, i could listen to his stories all day long
From First to Last will only ever be remembered for being shrillex first stop in his music journey. 💀
Absolute best in the game
This man Ross Robbinsin is a fucking genius
Ross produced the soundtrack of my life in my 20s. some of the best shit I've ever heard was produced by him
Wouldn't be here without his work
That! Was awesome.
Thanks for watching AJ!
He was capable of pushing the Slipknot guys to tears, what a maniac he must be
His dog has seen some shit
Wished this was longer, this man is very interesting
This is turning out to be a great series... this one espaitially Thanx so much and... okay, okay I'm subscibing
Thank you Jonny!
That dog looks so chill
Give me a scream Corey !
I love this series so much!. Man.. I haven't seen Ross R interview since early 2000s... Almost didn't recognize him 😁
Check out 'Sound City' from 2012. Some great nuggets there, too.
5:47 if they were working on the second korn record that means Gene Hoglan was working on strapping young lad music.
Head Wound City!!! Fu©k yeah!!!
Douglas Plaisance fuckkk yeahhh
Wow. Inspiring. And very well edited.
That story about Gene Hoglan is so god damn funny! Ross Robinson is a true legend.
All time favorite dude
5:32 Joey’s mask ❤
I love, love, love my boutique pedals. They play a very intricate part in my music but it's easy for my to get carried away to the point where my guitar sounds like a space ship
music genius
totally. thanks for watching!
This guy is a genius, that's why he is so crazy.
yeah ross was supposed to do my bands record at the end of 2006 but he was already booked with idioit pilot so our lable had to find another producer before our due date, which really sucked. ross is also from my bands home town, barstow as well. yup, facts. ross even came to the high school where he graduated from and, i also graduated from, barstow high school, and sat in during one of our rehersals. was a fun time. ross still owns.
God blessed you
That dude has heard some amazing jams
Wait, Ross Robinson worked on the Nick Cave record "Henry's Dream"?
this was awesome
I met him a few times, really cool dude.
This guy is very intense lol, I wanted to see his console damnit
Legend
