In an attempt to beat the dead horse again, I found an interview with Raine and wanted to slap him for saying this. There was a question on what Bob Rock did with the band and this was his answer.
"First of all, he just tried to really simplify parts. He made Jeremy [Taggart] be a little bit less busy on the drums, and I think he just wanted to start with real simple pieces, to be a little more experimental. Most great rock songs, like those by AC/DC and Metallica, there's a real simplicity in those songs. That was different for us. He said we are busy and we only get busier. He came in and said, "You guys just need to get some balls." That's actually the thing he said. I asked him, "What do you mean?" He said, "If this is a heavy song, just be heavy with it. Don't turn your amps halfway up. I can tell by the way you're playing that you guys want to rock. I can tell you're not letting yourself."
....I am not happy.
Rock told Jer to calm down on the drums.
Rock told them to simplify everything.
Rock told them to change the way they worked
and this is from what Raine said.
the interview is here if you want to read it.
