Michael Beinhorn Interview: “We were doing the RIGHT thing, in the RIGHT place, at the RIGHT time…”

On this in-depth Michael Beinhorn interview, Michael explains how he went from being a synth player in Material, a local Manhattan band… to co-writing, playing and producing Herbie Hancock’s smash hit, Rockit! Dealing with divorce, moving cross country, getting fired from his band, the unethical aspect of the music business… his reputation for firing drummers, working with Herbie Hancock, Red Hot Chili Peppers Soul Asylum, Ozzy Osbourne (and why Ozzy hated being in the studio), Mike Ness (Social Distortion), Chris Cornell, Soundgarden, Marilyn Manson, Twiggy (from Manson’s band), Hole… the challenge about being creative that many artists face once they become successful (VERY interesting), an incredibly helpful discussion about faulty belief systems and how they, unfortunately, rule and ruin, so many of our lives, and LOADS more. INCREDIBLY inspirational, great conversation, this one’s a MUST:

Michael Beinhorn is a successful record producer, composer, author, and musician, who’s worked with: Brian Eno, Nile Rodgers, David Byrne, Whitney Houston, Herbie Hancock, Fab Five Freddy, Nona Hendryx, Lenny White, Violent Femmes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, Soundgarden, Soul Asylum, Marilyn Manson, Living Colour, Social Distortion, Hole, Korn (#2 Billboard LP, Untouchables, platinum), Fuel, The Bronx,  Afrika Bambaataa, Pet Shop Boys, Janet Jackson, The Cult, Black Label Society and hundreds of others

His projects have combined record sales at over 45 million copies worldwide, and he’s the only record producer in history to have 2 separate recordings debut in the Billboard Top Ten in the same week (Marilyn Manson’s Mechanical Animals @ #1 & Hole’s Celebrity Skin @ #9)
