Rick Rubin podcast (Tetragrammaton) - Gene Simmons

[EatTheGlass]

Good stuff, like 3 hours long - digs deep into early days. Gene actually sounds normal on this one unlike the Billy Corgan pod.

Bump!

Listening to this now.

About halfway through and this is one of the best Gene interviews I've ever heard. I really hope he leans into this gentle, nostalgic, old man Gener in his twilight years. I couldn't be more bored listening to him talk about pussy and money--as excellent as both are--but I will absolutely listen to him talk about songwriting craft and the Beatles.

Does anyone know why the show is called Tetragrammaton? I know it means YHWH but what's the connection? Are his guests God?

GENE SIMMONS IS GOD? MIKE LOVE IS GOD???

Okay, I'm at an hour 45 and we're at Dressed to Kill, I don't imagine we're going to get to Hot in the Shade, which is a bummer.

Those songs suck, but I kinda want to hear him talk about how he wrote them. Some of them sound like they were making them up as they were going.

Genes been making the rounds. He was on Rob Lowe's podcast in recent weeks.

Related to the record label? Did Rick buy it at some point?

Was looking through the history, and looks like he's actually been doing it a while, I had no idea.
