I never understood why such an influential and rich musician became a fucking weirdo who murdered a random actress and used creepy wigs for the rest of his life. What went wrong?
>>126719436 (OP)I think the cocaine drove him insane
>>126719436 (OP)massively overrated as a producer
He was always psycho, when he worked with the Ramones he would hold them at gunpoint and make them play one bar for hours
Dude massively suffered from Ashkenazi Jewish schizophrenia.
Wall of Sound: The Very Best of Phil Spector 1961-1966 [Phil Spector/Legacy, 2011]
This one-CD Philles comp reflects the murderer's loss of his mad grip on his overrated legacy and brings its limitations front and center. Of course there are great records among these 19 oddly sequenced selections--by a generous count, as many as a dozen. But there are also three Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans tracks, including the regrettable "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah." Especially given the Crystals classics here that feature La La Brooks or Barbara Alston, these should be enough to convince you to skip the simultaneously released Darlene Love best-of. The Ronettes songs are the only ones in which the lead singer is personable enough to carry material less inspired than "He's a Rebel," "Uptown," and "A Fine Fine Boy." Sometimes, anyway--their much better best-of is spotty nonetheless. Too often, Spector's wall of sound was a miasma. Respect him as a girl-group maestro even more gifted than the Shirelles' Luther Dixon. The great exception isn't the Righteous Brothers, who have worn poorly. It's "River Deep Mountain High." A

>Leonard Cohen recalled that when he worked with Spector, he came into the studio and the latter pulled out a gun and pointed it at his side. Spector growled "I love your music, Leonard." "I sure hope you do, Phil." was the reply.[3]

>>126719436 (OP)Like others have said, he was always crazy. Got more crazy as his star faded and the drugs fucked up his brain further.
>>126719525Worth it. Fantastic album
>>126719436 (OP)Didn't his dad kill himself after coming home from work one day? That must've been life-traumatizing to witness as a kid.
He didn't shoot her, she killed herself and the pigs pinned it on him because anti semitism

Here's the website of the woman he murdered. If you skip to an archive after her death (2003) you can see the last activity on the message board on Feb. 01, 2003. Two days before she died. Sad case.
>>126723539This is the truth. I never trust what a goy says and I'm a goy myself. Jews have a natural inclination towards goodness. I just can't see Phil doing it
>>126722760I only like three tracks on that album; Chinese Rock, Rock n Roll Highschool, Rock n Roll Radio
This album he produced is fantastic, especially this track in particular. Wish he didn't go nuts and stayed working with more popular artists of the 2000s.

Here's a PS project that is forgotten for a good reason that mainly being proto-Billie Eilish whisper vocal bullshit.
All the best artists are insane.
