There's be booze all over the place, cigarette burns in the counter. They had funky old microphones. Everybody stood behind these little cages. It wasn't like the new sessions. Today, you'll have the drummer and bassist go in and lay down a set, then the guitarist goes in to lay down solos, then you'll have ho rn s or vocals or whatever.
Nobody even goes in at the same time any more.
The only really interesting things that I had with recording was in the very early days with the Omens. We'd go into the studio, and everyone would set up and play i n one room, with the singer off in a booth with a window where he could look out. While we're playing, I'd have to give the singer signals to tell him when to start singing, and when to stop. They only had a couple of mikes that they set up and we all jammed at the same time. These days, there's not a whole lot in sessions.
