Sad to see this. Big Black was hugely influential on my music listening.
As stated earlier: Kerosene around. Nothing to do. |

Awesome post by Nirvana.....the original letter from Steve to the band outlining his thoughts on working with him.

One of the hardest things to take is that Albini produced era-defining albums while still in his 20s!!! Like, what was I doing with my life at that point? But yea, RIP. He left a great legacy.

My old band used to play with Big Black all the time and I am friends with those folks. I am sure Bob Weston is gutted as well as those two worked with one another for decades. Steve was a very good guy...did great stuff for folks musically of course. But incredibly intelligent fellow and funny as hell.
If you want a good laugh, give this a listen. Albini calling Evan Dando and pretending to be Madonna's manager...Evan being as vain as he is falls for it hook line and sinker. This is classic Steve stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfviKQYfmJI |

As a guitar player myself I remember the first time I heard Big Black I was blown away with his guitar sound. I've never heard anything like it since either. RIP

I heard Big Black first around 1987 at a church bible school. No, the church was not into noise rock but one of my friends there was and he said 'hey you gotta hear this'. At the time I was into commercial metal like Metallica and Slayer so noise rock and the DIY scene were new to me. My outlook on music was changed that day. What a band and what a person. |

RIP Steve Albini

The above should link to a series of episodes he made for a recent residency at NTS radio and aired just a few months ago. I love listening to recordings he engineered or bands he played in but also really like listening to him talk too. worth a listen .. RIP steve Last edited by rmhurley; 05-15-2024 at 08:06 PM. |

Gill was also a huge influence on The Edge who took that same tone and softened it and drenched it with echo - sort of the yin to Albini’s yang. Definitely seek out that Gang of Four album if you’ve not heard it. |

I was in a group called Volcano Suns...when I left Bob Weston replaced me and when they broke up, Bob moved to Chicago to do Shellac and the studio with Steve...
