Designated Driver E5: Joe Barresi

Recording engineer, mixer and producer, Joe Barresi explains how he got the nickname 'evil' while working on a Judas Priest record, and how he went from studying classical guitar and music theory to working with bands including Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, and Slipknot. Barresi reflects on producing Queens of the Stone Age’s debut album (who at the time did not have a record deal), engineering and mixing Tool’s 10,000 Days, and more recently their 2019 album Fear Inoculum, and why Celestion kit plays a huge part in all of his guitar tracking.
