Brendan O'Brien was a huge presence in popular music throughout the nineties. I was a fan of a number of the bands whom he worked with, including Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Black Crows, the Stone Temple Pilots, and Rage Against the Machine. Those were some of the most iconic bands that helped to make the nineties music scene. Yet, O'Brien also worked with other legendary musicians, including Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, among others.
Also, he worked with some other prominent bands of the latter half of the nineties and early 2000's, including Korn, Incubus, and Limp Bizkit.
Yet, you rarely ever see anything about him. Rarely is he ever featured in interviews. Prior to this, I do not remember having ever seen or heard or read an interview of him before. Hell, I do not even remember having seen a picture of him anywhere, and had only imagined what he looked like. This being the case, I always pictured him as young, because when I thought of him, I pictured him the same way ever since I had pictured him back in the early nineties, when I first saw his name on albums I was really getting into by some of those same bands mentioned earlier.
For musician and Youtuber Rick Beato to have managed to get this interview, then, is really saying something.
It also seemed worth sharing here.
Enjoy.
