Why is this one in my head today? Because I listened to it about 10 times last night.

When you listen, put on a good pair of headphones.

If I had it to do over again, I would like to learn more about music production. I can pick out some stuff. Here’s a pretty cool breakdown of the production used in Rebel Yell.

Things to listen for:

• The intro that sounds like a combination of guitar and synth? Both parts = Steve Stevens on guitar.

• Steve Stevens on guitar.

• The mix of all the elements is amazingly balanced.

• The drums are bigger than life.

• The production choices on Idol’s voice throughout, reverb, panning, etc. (Although listening to the isolation track, maybe they aren’t all that interesting.)

• The use of guitar and synth in a rock song.
