Butch Walker on Artist Evolution and Fan Perception

I love how people assume when I work with an artist that the actual ARTIST has nothing to do with deciding how it will sound 👎
— butchwalker (@butchwalker) September 8, 2014I love my day job, but these kind of shallow assumptions take some fun out of it. I’ve seen em say the producer “ruined their favorite band”
— butchwalker (@butchwalker) September 8, 2014..When most people have no clue what they are talking about or how it works. Sometimes, God Forbid, the ARTIST comes in with their vision.
— butchwalker (@butchwalker) September 8, 2014Good on Panic and FOB for wanting to evolve and change. Most bands in their scene can’t sell out a club and these 2 sell out arenas…
