Lyrics reference: Alice Cooper

Quotes: 

Being in the studio with Alice Cooper and Bob Ezrin 

The music industry is in a sort of depressing state when it comes to compensation for your recorded material 

As an engineer in the year 2025, you need to be adaptable. You need to be able to embrace the new technology that's coming out. You need to be able to work in all those mediums. 

The world is so inundated with the amount of people putting out music, that it's really hard to have a charting record in 2025. 

The days of bands, you know, like, like supergroups. . . There's not gonna be another Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath. . . The closest thing we have to that in 2025 would be the Foo Fighters.
