You guys could have added a link to what they were about. ;-) I had to Google it myself:

Are they just glorified headphones?

don’t confuse producers with engineers – not all producers are super technical. I’ve seen some big guys who barely know gear at all. Obviously most of them have a good grasp, just being around it all the time, but they’re not necessarily the ones using the equipment, they’re telling the engineer what they’re looking for and the engineer does it.

It’s possible that Dr. Dre only knows his beat making gear like MPC’s or whatever he uses, but I would guess that he’s familiar with a lot of the other gear in a studio too.

That was weird. Dre’ is not into gadgets except for his iPod and iPhone. Jimmy gave us his POV in DRM. The other guy just sat there.

Good effort on conducting the interview.

Thanks for the interview. You are very lucky to have interviewed Dr. Dre! It’s too bad you sounded very nervous and unprepared.

Thanks again, but painful to watch. Kudos still.

For the record, this video was produced by Monster. Given the fact that we had very little time to prep I did the best I could. We’ll gladly issue everyone a refund.

Peter…you survived. We could see that you were sweating bullets, LOL. But overall, I thought that Dre was in a good mood, was relaxed and upbeat (for Dre, LOL). He answered the questions that he was asked. He shied away from the political hotbed of DRM, and kept it moving. So, considering your nervousness and the light questions, you did well. We can all Monday-Morning-Quarterback but, YOU were in the hotseat and survived so, congrats!

This was a terrible interview. The interviewer was awkward as hell and you couldn’t hear shit. Better mikes, more enthusiastic interviewer. I mean really?

Ha ha. That was pretty funny. No back ground, nor questions, to the dudes to the right or left of Dre. Iovine is a mogul, and is an uber smart dude. If Dre only cares about making beats (he has more to say but you have to ask the right questions), then ask Iovine about Dre Radio, or Interscope stances on things.

This reminds of a Tupac interview, the intro says it all…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y01Xra98rAg

The interview seemed kind of unprofessional and unorganized.

Also, the audio was not so great.

I think the interview could have gone better, but I’m sure CG and PHa are professional enough to to improve their gameplan for next time. Everyone has good days/bad days, triumphs/defeats, that’s how we learn.

I saw the Fallon interview on the En blog, it was hilarious, and this is coming from someone who has mixed feelings about Fallon’s work.

What a shocker of an interview. Unbelievably wasted opportunity. You have Dr Dre sitting right infront of you! MAKE AN EFFORT!
