"Well, you know, I never listen to my records. �Once they're turned in, I'm done with them. �I don't want to hear them anymore. �I know the songs. �I'll play them, �but I don't want to hear them on record
I'm not David, but I'd like to comment. Personally, I really get that "not-so-fresh-feeling" when I listen to my stuff when it's "finished" because of my unusually high level of self criticism. When a song's done, suddenly, the lyrics are no longer as profound and original, the instrumental pieces are worn thin and I'm just so sick of it, I hate it. The exception is live stuff because there is often audience reaction and gut level interplay between band members. A live performance can have twice as many "mistakes" and I will still enjoy the recording more because of this musician/audience relationship. My own studio recordings (which there aren't that many) just feel sterile and give me the feeling of hearing one side of of a conversation.
In my last band, I was planning on using live recordings of new material and using that stuff as scratch tracks for studio recordings but we split up before I could get that started.
