Forget it...I was wrong. I was thinking of Ron Fair and not John Shanks. And Ron Fair was basically saying that Ashlee's 3rd album would be difficult to work on because of the prejudices in the press. Here is Ron Fair's comments...

Producer Ron Fair said in December 2006 that working on Simpson's next album would be "very tricky" because of press scrutiny and "prejudices", but that Geffen would work with her to overcome that, "because she deserves to be heard and she deserves a shot."

Ohhhh.

Who care who you would go with.Mutt Lange is regarded in the industry of one of the greatest of alltime.He has produced 7 of the top 100 albums of alltime.
He has had massive success in many different genres from pop,rock and country.
And Mutt Lange is worth over a billion dollars and created so many sounds in many genres.
Jack Douglas is not even in Mutt's league.Mutt is a musical genius who has written and produced the most popular music of alltime.

Another thing, how the heck does his work with Aerosmith put him over the top lmao!!!
Mutt produced the biggest selling albums of alltime in rock and wrote many of the songs.
Just the fact he produced acdc's back in black, biggest rock album ever, put him way over the top. Then he produced hysteria and pyromania and wrote all the songs on those albums and also foreigner he produced and bryan adams and the carrs and of course he also changed country music forever with producing Shania's world record breaking albums.Mutts resume is so much more impressive and bigger.
The top 3 producers of alltime are Mutt Lange.Quincy Jones and maybe phil spector or george martin.

I like that article with Joe, i really dont think he's as bad a person as people make him out to be. If my dad ws my manager i'm sure he would be thinking the same things Joe's thinking about, its just that Joe says exactly whats on his mind.al th Even with the famous "double d" comments he made about Jessica ... i can imagine my dad saying that because my whole family is close. america is used to seeing dysfunctional families so they think because the Simpsons are so close, they're weird

I'll take quality over quantity anytime. Aerosmith, Get Your Wings, Toys in the Attic, and Rocks are the best rock albums of all time out of any band. I don't care how much money someone is worth. I care about the music. Songs like Dream On, Walk This Way, and Sweet Emotion are three of the biggest rock anthems of all time. Bands like AC/DC, Def Leopard, and the bands you mention are only a pimple on Aerosmith's ass. So go smoke up someone elses ass and come back to me when you have a better argument.

And who are you to judge quality? lmao!!!
We are talking best producers and there is nobody in the business that can lay claim to as many massive selling and ground breaking albums as Mutt not to mention he has also written the most popular songs in music history.
Mutt is widely regarded as a music genius and one of the top producers of alltime.

LMAO!!!! Shook me all night long is a much bigger rock anthem than any areosmith anthem and Mutt produced the who darn album for back in black.
Ask anyone in the business and Mutt is a much bigger and better producer than the one yoy mentioned.Mutt is a legend.
I wasn't going to mention Poor some sugar on me too lol!! I know it is not up to your standards lol!!! but Mutt wrote and produced that song too and it is one of the most popular songs of alltime.
Of course I won't even mention Shania's classic songs or ballads or Bryan Adams,the carrs, tina turner and so many others he wrote and produced.
Douglas is a pimple on Mutt's butt.

Okay I don't want to argue about this because Mutt is a legend and genius.
So read this article and understand more about this icon in music.

murder sounds boring ;s

Anyone who claims Shook me all Night Long is a bigger anthem than Dream On, Walk This Way, or Sweet Emotion has no credibility at all. The opening riff to Walk This Way is the most recognizable and duplicated riff in all of rock music. Aerosmith's influence is all over music from rock to pop and anything in between...I don't see Britney Spears, N'Sync playing with AC/DC and covering their songs like they did with Aerosmith. Then you have all other bands from Metallica to yes, even AC/DC and Def Leopard saying Aerosmith...in particular, the albums that Jack Douglas produced as being some of their biggest influences.

You can cry and complain all you want and give your opinion all you want but it is you who has no credibility trying to make us laugh and say Douglas is even in the same league as a mega icon producer like Mutt.
Like I said Mutt has 7 of the top 100 best selling albums in history and his songs are staples worldwide.
Either you didn't read the article or you are not that smart.
Mutt's influence is worldwide and every producer has credited Mutt for his genius and if you deny that they you are just looking for a fight.
You are an areosmith fan and you are just defending their music.
With all due respect Mutt Lange has much more power,influence,success and genius in the music industry that this douglas guy you are talking about.
You can bash Mutt all you want but his record and influence speaks for itself.

I don't know why you are lying and looking for a fight but when people mention best producers of alltime Mutt,quincy jones, george martinan and phil spector are always mentioned but I never hear Douglas mentioned.
There is nothing wrong with liking his producing but you are talking ignorant when you try and discredit what a legend like Mutt Lange has done.

Read again incase you are too slow.

This Ashlee thread is going off topic.

^ditto. i keep thinking Aerometis is posting something new and it's the same debate he's having with the idiot who can't shut up.

^Their getting on my nerves too.

First of all, I am not trying to discredit Mutt Lang or anyone else. I am just saying that he is not the greatest ever. He is one of the greats, no question. That is why I mentioned him being a good fit for Ashlee. However, Douglas is also one of the greatest producers ever. He also happens to be one of the most under-rated producers ever.

I getting lazy reading all this conversations.
I agree with TRL Girl, this thread is getting soo off topic.

...

LMFAO at the argument.
