They probably wont ever have the same chemistry now with the:angry: email me your .wav files approach of today... Not very much chillin in the same lab vibin on collaborations anymore...
I totally disagree.
If the people involved understand music production then they can be on different planets and still come up with some bangin shit. Second thing is they have to both understand that the song(s), not ego, personal opinion, etc must always come first. I just wrapped up a project where the lead guitarist spent a lot of time on tour with two different acts (John Lee Hooker Jr and Little Feet) and there was no problem because he understood music. The same could be said for the two bassists involved, one of them was busy doing shit for a couple of big movies and touring, he understood music. Now granted this project is a solo one with limited guest features, point is, everyone was able to vibe with me on a personal level which in turn fostered an environment where they knew what was expected of them and never had to be reminded about who was in charge. They understood the vision.
IMHO, a group album needs a solid producer, not composer, that can guide the group, work with the different egos and can come up with tight concepts.
