He sounds like he's on the cusp of bursting into tears.

I will never forget how he basically EXORCISED that solo out of Kirk Hammett when making The Unforgiven. One of the best solos on that record; one of my favorites, period. Kirk was just having a hard time that day - and Bob just pushed him, and pushed him, until that solo came out - and it was glorious.
-
His take on St Anger and being okay with taking the heat so that they’d stay together gives me a new appreciation not only for the album itself, but for Bob. Wow
-
"Learning all of Cliffs parts...... fuck me....." says it all RIP
-
Bob: I'm tired of arguing. James: No, you're not. Priceless.
-
He has the tranquility of a really well behaved, elderly golden retriever.
-
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SERIES!! You have to continue producing these. PLEASE!!
-
To this day the black album is still one of the best sounding records of all time.
-
Best part of this? He barely mentions guitars. Feels like Gibson has faith in the audience to understand their name is associated throughout, embedded in the subtext of rock n roll. No need shove it down our throat and try to shift units. Brilliant interview. More like this please. Music music music!

I remember as a kid asking my parents to rent a year-and-a-half in the life of Metallica every time we went to the store. It was on VHS tape and there was two tapes. I've been playing guitar now for 20 years and I'm telling you watching that made me want to play guitar for the rest of my life. I'm just a nobody but I Love to play. So thanks for the inspiration Bob Rock and Metallica.

Behind the greatest albums of all time, is a producer...he's not there to be nice, and bring you a cup of tea, stroke your ego...He's there to kick your ass and bring out the best of you...Thank you Mr. Rock!

You'd never get this on TV. This is what YouTube is for.
-
A minute in and I'm just saddened hearing him. Seems like yesterday I was watching the making of the black album. That was 30 years ago!! I'm just having a real hard problem growing old and seeing my heros age.
-
I met Bob in 82 when I was in a band called The Metros. We did a demo with him at Little Mountain and opened some Payolas shows. I’m so happy to see the positive trajectory his life has taken the last 40 years
-
"I was just a 13 year old kid wanting to own a Gibson guitar and now Gibson made me a guitar." That had a lot of weight to it. He's had a great 40 year career and I enjoyed listening to his story. Thanks Bob for sitting down and giving us that.
-
I don't play guitar, I didn't know who this guy was/is, don't know how I got into this video, but I watched the entire interview. Bob seems like such a good dude. I'm glad I got to see this.
-
This is the best thing Gibson has put out in a long time.....
-
Bob Rock was why I got into production and engineering.
-
From Whitenake to the black album this guy created the sound of my teenage years. Thanks for this Bob!

42:06 for Metallica, but you really have to watch the whole video.
