true yeah *** typical how are does with lanches of the new, new project there be pretty much launches *** be right grobally really _David Paich (分秒) yeah they are that's we did we make sure the we had all rights here for the united states and our digital rights here for and toto cause were totaly so funded by the guys in the band it's really lebel *** we don't have any these huge promotinal budget so they do not *** big franchise ax so we were just musicians hand mouse you know what I mean well the guys who makes some money we go Ok because been some our money promote ourself here you know but it is our product in no one tells us what's to do what we make it *** here we don't have we are producer we write everything produce everything and we recorded everything actually simon phillips record most *** engineer and we were just workin' out like at old funky studio then i where we begin valley cause toto was originaly just a valley band playin' at grant highschool *** valley college so we were kind of done three to16 here you know _Inside Musicast (分秒) you know i was really pleased to see as fan is some of the tv time you got on we just *** oh yeah) and what was extra I believe _David Paich (分秒) oh yeah we got on this i'm a friend of mine live down street name john williamson who handles like he handle, hole note video also handle like that all *** stuff like that and we

and he is the guy he pick up the phone and *** reaches he got extra and got cnn and all the stuff you know _Inside Musicast (分秒) is it amazing some times all takes phone call _David Paich (分秒) all takes you know what I mean little push you know what I mean _Inside Musicast (分秒) so dave you actually finally got let's this call the record lebel monkey *** you guys back in (yeah) this is i mean you sayin' creatively that was pretty relelatin' but _David Paich (分秒) well not so much *** creatively but just when you first co-sign to label there very excite about just put a lot body into and there *** you under way and dying you after you sold 20 million records for them and then number their change they you don't you not fravor of them month and and columbia has a wave changing excuse me sony as a wave changing president united states it's like a band members change there sox under wear on the road you know what i mean I mean like you if you go to A&M there was Herb Albert about for year a Warner brothers *** there forty years ok I mean every two years are there was name president it's a sony you know start with blues *** who's a great president and with a tenor saxphone player he sign toto and hired me they did do got to be real for Cheryl Lynn *** the same time (That's right) so we were doing that and he is still work i mean he did norah Johnes album was a *** god bless *** who just past he will be one of our brothers forever he produced the lady love me there *** james *** jeff was on it and luke and me so that's another toto thing there and then they just start changing president change president so I mean when we had in 1988 when we had pamela" out there i mean we were like No. 15 with a bullet this is was goin' on all the way we had two *** three radio station this so we were we were week away from *** top ten and they *** go because president at that time and lock the door since springsteen's records fed up *** chart *** chart *** and we, we've really lost *** for the big power struction *** _Inside Musicast (分秒) so what's you really sayin' is one reader ship but that add *** such a major label type of company one that change is there *** it changes us to the, the saver and the what they atractiing really what they promote right _David Paich (分秒) that's you bet you know *** that's was *** to us because that was like our come back records just toto iv album i mean we here we finally *** this was go on no.1 right) we had it right there like I said for them to *** system when you change the higher *** it just not affect the artist on there that record should kept going into the top I like I said they closed their doors shut lock black lock new *** and like I said bluce springsteen the album feld up chart bullet disappear *** too i mean in the other business except music business those *** countable for that you know in the music business you can go to two other record companys and find the people that they let go what those company so in the record business you don't get let it go and then you are black list and you just can circulated it with in the community to another record company you know _Inside Musicast (分秒) you mention this second ago got to be real" as Cheryl Lynn song that song is still everywhere yeah) as such it's has such great staying power i mean you hear a lot of, lot sound tracks i mean lot, a lot promotions _David Paich (分秒) they used for [shark tale] mr.will smith, mary j and they useded for like *** commercials and all kind of things been we really fun that was fun records I make with ray parker with on that and james gadson David sheilds and that was kind of emotions this rhythm sections _Inside Musicast (分秒) what, what made that so makable dave _David Paich (分秒) i got I think that was combination of just kind of simple groove dance thing it was the timeing and players we had on it and i got knock on with David foster came in and he wrote that with me share why write on the spot we were sunset one and i had riff down and foster came in and saying those "what's you think it and Cheryl did the answer I mean we like we wrote it on spot like that so it was truely one of those captural *** magical *** it's s been good to foster and me and Cheryl you know we very blast _Inside Musicast (分秒) hey i wanna ask you about simmon phillips in his role of engineering and tracking this last album did you feel that you know keeping the aspect of the creative process in *** family did you feel what give me more creative freedom then if you working like with Elliot Schneiner or somebody else outside the, out of the family? _David Paich (分秒) you know that's a really good question *** here take me second to ansewer because you pick to really good engineers here Elliot Schneiner is such phenominal component in recording and he has great musical idea to bounce off *** and he is engineering so *** that is just absolutely *** magical cause job *** good engineer is to make so *** musicans we don't have the think about how's be recording we just have to do *** artistic part (right) or say it *** put some special effects on put some the magic dust here you know (and just doin') *** somethin' (yeah) so in those cases i don't feel that there was any press *** mind *** maybe simmon because simmon has a real *** engineering and he loves organize things you know he is like a, he is like *** about a spring cleaning and keeping all the records and books and and he really need be kind of a forensics specialist to do pro tools (yeah because they are so much logging and archiveing so but i think simmon be a player with able to really help with his drum sounds because simmon knows how to mike is drums and how he suppose to sounds (yeah right) but it is always hardest to get drum sound i think (right, oh that's true) and simmon with able to achieve those very quickly and that's same as lot of time spine in the studio _Inside Musicast (分秒) yeah, i can that that you know the perccusion the miking on the drums *** it was *** this project _David Paich (分秒) yeah and simmon's drums I mean that's no easier get mike i recall the HMS phillips you know like *** you know what i mean he is got so many drums *** so big everything you now _Inside Musicast (分秒) he is an amazing talent _David Paich (分秒) he is totaly amaing talent he makes sound through the right size for him you know _Inside Musicast (分秒) eddy and i were up to *** ontario about year and half go to see the guys play up there and and after the show i you we got together with band when we were everybody with chat about the perfomance you know and everything toto but i cornered simmon and just ask one question about engineering and we were often to a one hour *** engineering _David Paich (分秒) that's right yes simmon was time *** he tell how to built watch you know what i mean _Inside Musicast (分秒) not always great cause i'm pro tools engineer too _David Paich (分秒) you know what i mean you guys must had *** _Inside Musicast (分秒) oh was great I mean he and i were just often corner for an hour (Oh , yeah) you know forget about what if you know everyhing else *** _David Paich (分秒) excactly *** hole other you guys like you know that's that's that's *** pro tools engineering you know what I mean _Inside Musicast (分秒) that's right _David Paich (分秒) you only guy your miss *** Steve MacMillan you know _Inside Musicast (分秒) oh yeah on he's fabulous too he engineering _David Paich (分秒) yeah he is like groove god father here you know he even shows simmon stuff *** simmon doesn't know you know _Inside Musicast (分秒) was this the first time you guy this, this is the first time you work with him right _David Paich (分秒) no it is not we work with him on the [Through the looking glass] record ok) and he done over dubs for us before vocals and stuff like that he work with james newton howard and he worked with under Elliot Scheiner and travor horn so he was, i work with him on a movie and he is just absolutely ridiculous and he is such a nich easy going guy but he is always courage always *** stuff and and i just dig him and he as good feel for toto *** in there cause we beat engineer *** hole lie you know what I mean no we hate that yes we love it no we hate it no we hate it and we love it you know _Inside Musicast (分秒) we pays off because you know last couple few albums it's been nominate for grammys for best engineering _David Paich (分秒) yeah, i think specially the last album this *** album absolutely is probably next to toto iv] my favorite toto album _Inside Musicast (分秒) yeah i was gonna mention that too I it's you know just from fan *** point i think it's so *** front back _David Paich (分秒) yeah, we really we really *** the box here and actuatlly we through the box way here *** I would back *** toto *** here which is to go listen guys I'm gonna call pane *** chicago you know we call *** you know we call joseph williams in and we just did stuff like that add in and you know brought philliganes into the band which is absolutely made it so special to open that door which I always had problem with get into the real R&B door and just having great another keyboard players toto always been two keyboard band that's the hole key to it's like Procol Harum (Yeah) you know and and so having philligane who are *** greatest combination utilitiy keyboards, vocals, entertaiment down the face to playin' I mean he just right up there call me (absolutely) he is like a franchise player like *** michel jordan no question about it and so his contribution was like I made my job really easy i was able to set back in produce more because i was able to say Greg here is a kind of thing I hearing he would go oh i know he want to he sit down play better than me so i been the booth for simmon which is fun that i like doin that you know i am no ego problem goin' whatever play *** best get out there play it and I'll just sit in here and just groovin' and tell you when the *** guys it's just like we groovin' Get out there's who we groovin' *** it's just *** they come back you know mick jagger's album *** what you saying *** get out there you know _Inside Musicast (分秒) well you know there, there seems to be such a unselfish coraboration I you know that (no question) that greg is on *** in so force but is just more than *** keyboard *** there is, there such a chemestry there is this he is always been there and and dave tell us little bit about *** how did you pave that a role to greg in, greg get a role pave to you guys how did that happen _David Paich (分秒) i'll tell you exactly *** happen first of all we play with greg i met greg 25 years ago (sure) *** I got session with them and the bands plays with them of hole lunch *** you know and the band always *** or you can David even think about it things like greg philegames cause he, always you can never get him you know so everytime i go to a party or montorux *** jazz festival he been the lounge play my songs and singing i've look who lounge he play "Miss Sun" and he play "George porgy" and he play hold the line" _Inside Musicast (分秒) *** did you sight walk in this sort of goin on _David Paich (分秒) yeah he just *** playing no hold the hole sing play perfectly in singing so he keeps doing this doing this and i say man you know this is stupid you know with every think about it going on out there band and these seems like he said two seconds so i thought my band that they like yeah right you don't he would go out with you if he does he want like a *** million dollars a week and i told no kinds this guy wants to be part of toto needs the band member so they took them out i was i was tryin to phase off the road here cause i was you know tryin to stay marry is here which i've *** been for 21 years *** daughter so i just try it out and they loved him and and this album here is contribution with just it's just so *** that the *** band immidiately meet him for member you know _Inside Musicast (分秒) it's almost _David Paich (分秒) that easy _Inside Musicast (分秒) a divine connectivety here because is this what's you needed at right time _David Paich (分秒) it was what we need we need he is a billy preson *** beatles he really is you know what I mean and i say that always respect billy preston is absolutely *** metall *** you know and he passed to and he is one of the spiritual brothers that *** but top me greg a lot you know I mean _Inside Musicast (分秒) well you know that vibe comes out your album when you use word you know that's spiritual and i'm just refferey this spiritual man but you know there there is something happening with the vive *** out of the album that's saids hey there there something more *** musically guys there, there someting more you know and that was that was *** accidents was _David Paich (分秒) no questiton i think it's *** able to pick up on the *** i think it's the first album we toto actually has *** and talked about cause why do we trying to say here you know group here you know before we just like this go right this song right this song and i just bunch solo of recording *** put together less we were writing africa with jeff back in the old days old instrumetal and now we start thinking and trying voice one have *** singing voice former band so there was a lot of coraboration lyricly and musically on this we on there everyday i took the *** writing lyric I just got in to *** dedicated *** for the album *** on spritual man i was write *** stuff there was just comes out with me and and all became *** so much fun this guy could write enough bobby is writing and luke is wright stuff and mikie add stuff too everybody just like sit round like good group fleetwood mac and beatles and now oldies great legendaly groups like we heard they used to do you know I mean _Inside Musicast (分秒) well that's start how music *** ithese days *** i mean the collaboration *** we were talking to lee sklar one of previous intervews he was saying you know the good old days of making music it just used to be _David Paich (分秒) that's yes or no because *** making music is move to nashville so they kind of do it to way *** we did out here but i here there was the time when when really that's with our recording sessions with just like going into club those were the perfomaces and people were jamming you know what i mean all the best performances like we recording studios was leo sayer joe cooker, aretha franklin i'm mean everybody wih, it was like live music but *** for the frst time so i think that *** atractive people going out playing live it's the live expeprience with people are respond into immidiately cause they can't do that too much right because everything put on one of the time maybe even Mariah Carey *** doesn't vocal i'm sure she is *** there *** pro tools (excatly) *** should but, but certainly there is not a lot *** with toto's so we miss the crowd *** people of studio making stuff cause it was like you know immieadty this happening either or not it was be full musicians (yeah) yeah it all the time for jim keltner tom scott i mean everybody with come in just give what do you think our new our stuff here so we were bounce *** off it and today i think they make stuff because it's *** done with pro tools you know you put drum sound and you put this one it's really hard to get full reaction you know I mean to to the live they but kid they manage to get round i'm sure so relative I'm sure they replica hold bunch of people in the studio dance to it *** same things we end it you know what I mean so _Inside Musicast (分秒) well [Fallin' ... _David Paich (分秒) Le Sklar is just old better bass player *** long and he's gotta *** gun he *** shoot I saw shoot of a couple of coffee out of producer's hand like close friends of the pal gun on a session cause even more like producer _Inside Musicast (分秒) not does surise me i don't even know I'm the well but *** some how the doesn't surise me _David Paich (分秒) it was unbelieve i love you, lee _Inside Musicast (分秒) well difinitely falling in between it's not only a wonderful album but it is me and Rcik thought of coda as zero skip back to because every song you wanna hear it you know _David Paich (分秒) yeah, that's we set up to do just records *** apprciate it and or we *** Roy Hargrove *** trampet player name *** _Inside Musicast (分秒) we've talkin' about toto you know being out on the road and he *** talking by greg in joing the band you know the the band just got back from a big tour over the seas and and from pesonal reason *** you *** not to go out on this tour and tell me how you felt about not touring with the guys this time now _David Paich (分秒) well you know can people would ask me first of all the reason I'm staying here is my sister has is that UCLA right now she is waiting as we speak the doctor is to call in tell she waiting long *** that's right) right now she is be waiting for like a

records you guys serious you know ok i get it you know i mean yeah I forgot old songs so so i might *** surprise *** (make *** should *** and going got to be real or something you know what I mean _Inside Musicast (分秒) make sure it's in vegas cause I'll be in touch _David Paich (分秒) all you been vegas *** vegas you know you know my wife knows David *** I have him *** make those guys disappear you know _Inside Musicast (分秒) they gone i'm beared hey listen you you brought boz scaggs and you have such a ritch history you know woking with him back from off course the [Silk Degrees] days and so force and we can we can talk about that little later but (ok) you know i want to talk about your last project with him in and there was one of the most phenominal I, I listen to all the time it's dig _David Paich (分秒) Hey thank you so much you know i was wondering if anybody listen to *** that album because you know was released during that *** week and but it is one of my favorite albums I work done i still put that on and there was such a great experience working with danny koortch first of all *** hole lot from we like *** one of the great producers and powerful *** and I'm *** so glad you like that _Inside Musicast (分秒) yeah, dig it's gonna be a classic and and your aproach that album *** I mean you practically wrote on every cut I've only believe you produce the, the piece for boz and but your your aproach i mean it's it's very well engineer but it's sounds if you you just recording that live you follow me _David Paich (分秒) yeah that' s the key that's tricks when but you can get there was the hole lot players that's koorch and me basically OK it was really fun cause we start makin' demo so the stuff we were you know boz was kind he is really picky who we gonna use for players and he goes I want to play all the guitars *** this one so everybody else *** say that i say hey I can came from *** go fight you know and I said let me play some keyboard we get this person this person all we start makin' demos and then koorch they are touch about they say you know we heard danny koorch's one *** make their record *** like i'm still auditioning now i find out you know *** the records and they go danny koorch is the recommand by the recorod campany cause he just billy joel's vip record *** *** whatever that record was whatever that they call do wop records that what koorch *** because *** hold the line *** every just do wap song because we hate you guy *** koorch said that do wap record was billy Joel *** *** what think koorch i said man i insist on he is absolutely perfect for this but I have to be with him and me together will be perfect cause he plays guitar and he he thinks of all and he can makes anything feel good you know he makes the best feeling demos for drum machines I ever heard and let me go on just about this for one one second here so we were doin' the demos so koorch saids *** demos *** masters wih just fix that bass part let's fixs here and we realize we really have like four tracks we missed demo *** koorch says came in there *** just transfer this stuff and put the another bass on it we start doin' lead vocals on it so that's why he brought to get this live thing happening in the more loose and live he and boz for like cheer readers in the studio he play performance they be screamin' *** jump up and down stuff you know he play some solo and we use old vintage instrumental *** when you do pro tools cause it's all digital domain but we had old oldest funky instrtuments might mono it's in stuff like that you can posiblely gets of oldies buzes and hums _Inside Musicast (分秒) I mean there was one of the tracks say was it miss realize I think you might sort of i mean there is even like LP *** little thing little the texture it scratch *** and you through the add in there *** like man _David Paich (分秒) It's where like all *** you *** everything *** scratching records and these blue synthesizers but sounds really weired everything like that *** and that's what he does he does one using anything *** hipping new right it like *** you know _Inside Musicast (分秒) what work but one more last question on this project we move on but specifictly the horns *** with there was one guy that you I mean instead of having jerry hey and you know the horn teams so force who play i can't the name *** case but _David Paich (分秒) that's Roy Hargrove (Roy Hargrove That's why I got it from _Inside Musicast (分秒) he actually play every single horn part and if you listen really cross it to the album i mean you can hear and feel his breath on neck because he is _David Paich (分秒) he is phenominal he was on and man I got *** jenny dagrous turn me on he done what's the guy the solo artist came out he was hip guy *** keyboard player he just came out *** and i forget this name right now because just one word and any any always *** just *** down *** all the time real hip player and i got his recorod always listen to and and this guy Roy Hargrove on it and i could think a man how is he who is he that stuff and what are *** sax *** and he came in with one trampet those *** when he walked in with *** you had be kidding me and he listen to it and he *** play does solo from top to bottom and he any goes by evrey *** plays they orchestrating in the five peices (yeah ah it's beautiful) some amazing style and arranging and the guys educated of horn arrangment but that some of the most amazing part you every hear and that's why I found him on *** the name of the artist i got him off *** ( I follow you) and that's loose records boz heard that flip that we said we wanna make *** record so that's we that got in front from and they we brought him in that i think it really Boz *** trying these other players almost thinking tom scott and we heard this we said we let's call for this guys and i think it made it stand out *** different kind of record you know _Inside Musicast (分秒) did *** miss *** horn part on this *** just blow your way _David Paich (分秒) you know _Inside Musicast (分秒) very nice stuff hey dave i wanna go way back in time and when you were grown up at Hollywood you know what almost in that's you are *** for success in the music business the specially _David Paich (分秒) *** seem like that way to time you know I look back *** man I goes like man how to, how to who do all stuff we were we had no
