Is this true, about the Black Keys? One of them should've keyed his fucking car.

No, I mean Crows... not Keys.

He's credited for the following albums:
1990: Shake Your Money Maker - The Black Crowes (Engineer, "A potpourri of instruments")
1992: The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion - The Black Crowes (Engineer)

His wiki article also states:

Wikipedia wrote:His studio career was propelled by the success of the first Black Crowes album, Shake Your Money Maker, on which he played guitar and bass and engineered.

So he's always been doing this.

I really wish Pj could go into a hall a church a gym whatever stand in a circle play their shit, and make a rock and roll record in a couple days. Fast food, whisky, drugs and a couple of techs a sound guy,and some loose women. What would be wrong with that. It worked for Great White right.

You're fishing for something, man. I don't know what it is, but be careful.

Spoiler: show

SOMETHING ellllllllllllllLSE

Yeah, I certainly don't have any problems with the sound of Mind Your Manners.

In any event, the band are ultimately responsible for how their records sound. Brendan isn't producing them by stealth.

Probably a little shooting of the messenger going on at this point, but you've got to admit, pretty much everything he says during that Q&A could have been taken straight from an RM parody of how they would have expected that interview to go:

"About seven weeks of work, spread over three years."
"To me, this and Backspacer are just one big album!"
"Eddie really just tries to make everyone happy now."
"The albums I didn't produce simply don't exist for me."

I don't want to fault him for something he hasn't done but I doubt he's doing their creative process any favors. His comment about not being familiar with the records he didn't produce seems particularly absurd, it seems like it should be required homework for any producer coming to work with a certain band to be familiar with the creative context he's stepping into. It's not the first time I've heard that sort of comment either--I remember reading how John Frusciante refused to listen to "One Hot Minute" because he wasn't involved in it. I realize there may be hurt feelings tied up in it but ultimately it seems like stupid Hollywood ego B.S.
