Deep Purple just released a new animated music video for Smoke On the Water. And according to the credits there's AI technician too. I think this kinda video would have worked better for The General too.

Well he's not the one who's paying studio time for the Schenker record. Gotta save those bucks were you can 😅 Also if he had recorded new vocals for the new songs, I bet people here would probably say something like "Why didn't they just the demo vocals from tha leaks, those were perfectly fine and in fact superior! Only GnR!" 😄

Yes it's Finnish and Estonian name. Basically Finnish version of the name Jeremiah or Jeremy. Here's some famous Jarmo's! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarmo_(given_name)

And? Even Axl doesn't get sole credit for November Rain or Estranged in a new UYI booklets. Still doesn't mean that he didn't wrote them.

You know she mostly writes her songs solely by herself. There's more songwriters on "Chinese Democracy" than any of her records. Now back to listening to some "Folklore"!

I would say she's bigger than Madonna ever was. Breaking all kinds of records and is one of the influential people in the world. Just recently she broke Elvis Presley’s record for most weeks at No 1 on US album chart. I mean people care who she's voting for.

Rock and metal is still somewhat big here in Europe. And since the song for 2021 in that Loudwire list isn't Zitti e buoni by Måneskin, I think that's an American list mostly. But even here it's more about pop and rap these days. Modern music, what is on the radio at least, is now more and more about solo artists (cheaper for record companies than a band of 5 members) and most importantly what's popular on TikTok in a 15 sec dance video.

I love it. Watching Perhaps video makes me want to go see GnR concert. The General video makes me want to .. I don't know... shut off every electronic device in my flat! 😄

For some reason The General video reminded me of this trippy Sabbath video. Except of course this was made by humans. There are parts that I like in The General video, some interesting ideas, but it's somewhat hard to watch because of all the flickering images. I like that it's like weird trippy dream/nightmare but it gives me some motion sickness. I think they should have use way less AI. Maybe every once in a while but not almost whole video where it becomes jarring to watch. A lot of it don't make sense. And I don't know what's going on the Sabbath video either but at least it's more entertaining and more interesting to watch.

Well it's still very early in the morning in States. My guess is it will be released some time around afternoon or early evening hours when there's more consumption. So 4 - 8 hours from now.

Linkin Parks video for their previously unreleased track "Lost" is probably one of the better AI music videos. At least what I have seen. In the end (hehe) AI is just a tool, it's the people who use it who are responsible for good or bad results with it.

Didn't Axl himself also said during one of those 2009 Q&A chats that nowadays he thinks those videos are kinda corny or something to that effect? Slash I remember saying he preferred Paradise City-style of videos with band playing the song.

I guess they say it's "something special" because of the AI artwork in the video and that way being different than a regular music video.

Last weekend I started listening the box set and found out that Use Your Illusion II had two copies of Disc 2s but no Disc 1. Today I went to the local Äx store and cashier told that it's a know issue, apparently record labels fault. He then ordered me a new version of the box set (for free) and I will give them back this one in change. New one is supposed to arrive sometime next week. Anyone else had this problem?

His stuff with John 5 is great. I especially like this one, Black Sand. It shows that Dave can do more than just hard rock stuff. Too bad that the "DLR Band" album isn't on Spotify etc. But thats why there's Youtube!

Duff on Jimmy Kimmel Live

"Are you on a Fernando-list?"

"Darren and Steve welcome Brando from the very cool Appetite For Distortion Podcast, a Guns N' Roses-themed podcast. And there's lots of tales to tell! There's the frustrating and befuddling NDA's, fascinating stories behind Brando's unreleased/unfinished Doug Goldstein autobiography (now available to his Patreon members), the connections and similarities between David Lee Roth, Van Halen, and GNR, getting fantastic guests like the Use Your Illusion chiropractor, Dave and Axl at Donnington in the 80's and what may be next for Axl, Slash, Duff and company and a LOT more. Plus, Darren loves Buckethead!"

Vinyl rip.

Finally got mine. Picked it up at the local Äx store. Gotta save those postage costs! Also joked about the price error with cashier. 😄

I think 2002 lineup and their VMA's performance were much worse received by public. It was seen as a freakshow with hiphop cornrow-Axl, Buckethead, Robin and all the other band members looking like from completely different bands put together. I remember late night shows like Conan making fun of them and Axl.

Is it really? It's just a audio video for YouTube Music basically. Not a real music video. It's not even a lyric video. I watched it like twice and then I have been listening the song from Qobuz. No real reason for me to watched since there's no real video or lyrics to look at. Compare it to other "GnRs size" bands audio only videos and it's about the same.

Still waiting mine. Just got a email that they are waiting wholesale to send them new copies.

Only Fools and Horses. He watches those Christmas Specials every year and calls Fernando plonker all the time. Jk. He probably likes Mad Men since they used the theme song as opening music.
