STUDIO DAY TWO
July 16th, 1998
PHOTOS FROM BOTH DAYS
Well, Day Two. New Location, New Look, New Equipment . . .
well, at least the new location. After causing a bit of a ruckus on Day 1, we
decided to move to the basement. It stinks down there. There's also alot of
concrete. But, it only took Jack an hour to move all of the equipment.
9:45 - Jack calls Jon on his Mickey Mouse phone (in his room if you will)
10:05 - Jack wakes up Jon (again), Jon was raring to go (again)
10:15 - Jon jumps in the shower while Jack tries to figure out how to use the remote control.
10:30 - Jack and Jon busted to Jacks house for another wonderfull day of recording, (hopefully with no suprise guests!)
11:00 - Jon busted out his new riff, equally
backed by the drumming of Action Jackson, and the new Jack and Jon show theme song was
born.
11:30 - After the most grueling tuning session, Jon finally got his Bently ready to go.
After a few false starts, they cut into "Long Road." Dave Long was
present for this one. Notebly tapping his foot along to the sweet tunes.
"Sounds Good," He Said. A Man of many words.
12:00 - By noon, Jack & Jon has phased through a Pearl Jam urge, playing, "Hunger
Strike", "Black," and "Yellow Ledbetter," without so much as a
pause. Keeping with the "Seattle Sound" they then hammered through a series of
Nirvana songs, among them, "Rape Me," "Polly," "Breed,"
"Dive," and ended with a heavy metal jam, ala, Vortek. Thanks for the
cymbals, fellas.
12:30 - Lunch break. Pizza is on the menu today. Taking a load of Little
Ceasers to the "Spot" the band paused a moment for a couple publicity photos.
What a hassle.
1:00 - Back by 1:00, they decided to play the Pearl Jam tracks again, with a better mix.
They were fairly successful and moved on to "Never."
1:45 - After begging Jon finally cut into the first notes of "Wishlist", which
had been absent from the setlists in previous days. "You have to be emotionally
ready to play Wishlist," Said Jon, "I wasn't in it." Jack played a
little bit too hard and ended up completly fuckin' up his bass drum at the end of
"Wishlist."
