“I don't think the problem here is music being "less real." That is exactly IT. Fucking AI is NOT REAL. If that doesn’t bother you then I don’t know what else to say. At least synths still needed to be actually played by actual musicians. AI is simply not that. It’s fake bulllshit being sold to guileless consumers. ITS NOT REAL MUSIC. If AI is ok,why even play guitar? Just have AI play it for you. No need for rhythm comping, timing, or practice. AI can do it all. Yeah, I have strong feelings on this.

Watching and rewatching clips…. Ronnie Wood sounded terrible. After holding the Stones up for years with his stellar playing, he is finally deteriorating a bit. His slide was particularly bad on Train… Not a Zakk fan, but damn, he acquitted himself very well on the Randy era tones…respect. Tyler sounded great and that was shocking. Tom Morello’s slide thing on Train was cool, unique, and different. Not a fan of his in general, but that was uber-cool. Iommi can still bring it. That made me happy.

I will play a loud blues gig Wednesday night at the lake of the Ozarks with a cranked 20 watt amp….it may be attenuated, but in a small club it will still fill the room,

But a huge difference exists….at least is was real humans making real music to the beat of their abilities by writing and recording songs they had actually written. AI is none of that. None. At. All.

Just as we have recording plugins that are emulations of classic gear, (compressors, eq,s plate reverb), there are AI plugins in work which will allow my voice on my songs to be replaced by Steven Tyler, Robert Plant, Taylor Swift, or whatever artists agree to licensing their exact vocal likeness. AI is such a problem in art.

Nuno was rock solid on every song I saw him play. Great playing and tone.

I just spoke about this exact topic on 101 The Fox radio station in KC. It just ain’t real. If we accept generative AI as art, we owe apologies to Milli Vanilli. At least they were actual humans actually singing on the backing tracks. AI music just isn’t real.

Jake can still play.

A buddy of mine has gone through a TM DR and a TM Bassman. He has returned to the TM DR and believes it sounds as good as a real DR.

Huh….what’s visible on my iPad is different than what you posted. I go black at sundown. It just shows up in 3 different boxes.

Weird...the .8 is not visible on my iPad.

Am I reading that right…$2k for a 30th Annie?

This would be cool for recording.

Goodness! What an incredible Vector!

I like whenever @Bennyboy-UK posts!

My CruiseBass does it for me, but damn, that Rich is smokin’ hot!

Any trade needs or desires for that Octapussy?

Thanks @Biz Prof! You’re right. Whitford did play the baby Standard on Chiquita.

Dibs on @The Shark’s SG Junior and didn’t Bad Brad Whitford have one of these Hendrick types…? Use it on Chiquita video? Maybe?

Mine too. It is the best playing guitar I have ever played and I dearly love the tone the Shlabotnik sisters bring to my ears!

0006 remains the finest guitar I’ve ever played or owned. If I ever get 0117, I’ll need nothing else.
