How do you invent a sound that defines a generation of music?

In this episode, I sit down with the iconic Steve Lillywhite, the producer behind game-changing records from U2, Peter Gabriel, Simple Minds, and The Rolling Stones. Known for co-creating the famous 80s gated reverb drum sound with Peter Gabriel, Steve dives deep into the evolution of music productionโ€”from analog tape to modern digital workflows.

Steve Lillywhite's innovative production techniques have significantly influenced the sound of modern rock and pop music. More interviews: http://www.popthehistorymakers.com

We talk about his early work on Hong Kong Garden with Siouxsie and the Banshees, his Grammy-winning career, and how heโ€™s stayed inspired over decades. If you're a fan of classic rock, '80s new wave, or the behind-the-scenes magic of hit records, this is one of the most insightful interviews you'll watch.
