The Crossing is one of my absolute favourite albums to come out of the ‘80s. I still feel sad when I think about Stuart, same for Chris Cornell.

If AI is destroying anything in music/media I think it is the online social media/content creator roles (and I struggle to be sympathetic about this!). I find myself scrolling far less due to the sheer amount of AI related trash on facebook etc. While online marketing has helped many especially younger musicians over the last ten years or so, I think things may start moving back to the importance of a musician being someone who doesn't create glitzy and technically perfect 20 second online clips, but actually someone who plays real music to real people!

Thanks Dave, Burn is on my list to add in at some point.

Sounds like a different song Neil. Pretty good song tho. I've never heard of Volbeat but this is pretty good. Catchy song. Like a modern Classic Rock song to those of a certain generation. 😂 Dave

Guinness tone air for girth.

RV - Faith No More

WOW some great songs in there Lozz. You've missed out my fav DP song "Burn" The live version is a song i just loved playing in the "Friends of DP" tribute band. Have to admit Stargazer was also another fav of mine. I'd be very chuffed if i had that set list in front of me. Dave

anyone here some experience with Moog Minifooger MF Flanger? ta.

Years subscription bought, good luck hope the venture goes well. Jonny

That's very true for those that want to have pride in their artistic efforts. Unfortunately though, the goal for many isn't artistic integrity and having pride in what they've created - it's reaching the goal of making £ and presumably getting AI to fully compose music might be a way of achieving that. Perhaps this isn't true, but people are suggesting that companies like Spotify and Amazon music are using AI to create music and are promoting it on their playlists as they then don't need to pay royalties. e.g. Ask Alexa to 'play relaxing background music' and it is in their interest to play bland innofensive AI generated stuff they don't need to pay for.

I've found several websites were to buy them and they're cheap! Most importance is to find the right strenght, so 4 magnets hold the cover steady and it must be easy to open aswell.

Thanks! great idea, thats the best way to use a pick!

Mine is also engaged on power up. It also drives me mad. It is a lovely sounding chorus though. 😊

I'm increasingly teaching ethics and AI in a University. I use music as quite a good example. We need to see AI as a tool, and like any tool it can make some work more efficient, but we must not mistake quantity with quality. Generative AI in particular can create large quantities of music etc. very rapidly, but that doesn't mean it is any good. Conversly, in the right hands, AI can help creators generate really high quality work - for me the main benefit of AI in music is more in recording/remastering than composing (for instance). There's plenty of aphorisms about this but I quite like: "Those who are carried to a goal should not think they have reached it" regarding AI - it's one I use with my students and coursework!

Thanks, the Gates of Babylon we do is by Volbeat.

Oh how I wish I could do the same!!
