I'm weird too. :)

It's not personal. It's just war.

Thanks, KPO! Johnny Marr was (for me, anyway) the ultimate guitar anti-hero. He's the guy you don't really notice that much, until you really start listening - then you realize what a bad-ass axe-slinger he really is.

Speaking of bad-ass guitar gods, here's one of my childhood favorites, Uli John Roth, playing one of the songs he wrote way back when he was playing with Scorpions (1977):



Dude's got some chops.

And color me crazy, but I hear shades of "Caravan" in his intro solo. Here's Thelonious Monk's take on that gem...

Saw this man in the early 80's when he was just coming up. Personally autographed a poster for me!





Saw Clapton in concert and his opening band was The Robert Cray band...

Holy shit. Injured? I can't believe somebody could even survive that. There's no way he's not spending the rest of his life in a wheel chair and eating baby food if he's not just in a coma forever.

Or I will send out an alarm

Tony Bennett - The Best Is Yet To Come



...maybe not...people stopped singing, got auto-tuned, stop playing an instrument and over time something bad and synthetic and plastic happened to music?

Pop music, sure.

Good indie stuff out there.


Have you looked at AI generated music? That's really crazy. People are making artists sing songs they've never sung and it sounds like them.

Sure most that play will say pop music is often simple, a catchy child like primitive melody, not complex so its not hard for a software AI to do a simple Rap electronic thing or 'Rave' techno sound or 2 chord, 3 or 4 Chord Pop song and disco groove should not be difficult for an advanced machine. I might have an 'ear' for some beat or notes or musical sounds I've also played around and cut and layered audio and sound files on a computer so I guess I'm not totally ignorant of the 'Art'. Artificial Intelligence is getting better at this stuff, it sounds less 'Square' the voices and instruments sound more real. There might be a time when a musician or vocalist or expert might not even know the difference because AI will have advanced so much it starts adding elements, slight imperfection or accent or swing a note that sound 'human' just like the real recordings, it is moving on to Jazz, world music sounds and Classic music which is freaking out some musicians. The Audio Engineer was almost a job of Wizardy a guy with headphones, he literally had to cut the tape, audio effects, sound reinforcement, layer mixing, instruments reproduction, he had to know when to cut the tape and when not to cut just as film reels were cut, once computers had the power to handle digital audio editing in the 80s and 90s and analog slowly changed to digital, it gave 'The-Machine' an opportunity to learn everything humans do on 'Garage Band' or 'Qtractor' or Audacity or MusE sequencer and Digital Mixing Desks, playing might be different but its a matter of programming and computing power to copy a Guitar or Bass, the Drumming guy was one of the first replaced with an Artificial Drum Machine, Lyrics and Singing might be Different but even that can be learned with AI now doing poetry and it also has the possibility to mimic vocal and lyrics, will AI be as 'creative' as a human I'm not sure but it is already foolish people that it is in fact a real person with its Chatbots.
