Roger at 80 looks and sounds better than most geezers half his age.

Most musicians have gotten on board the communist train so to hell with them. I hope they all go broke and end up giving handies for Pennies in Denny’s parking lots. 95% of them are pure scum.

I say bring on the AI and destroy the music business.

If the music business were destroyed, there would still be music and jobs for musicians.

[Jamestown1630]

I thought Auto-Tune had already done that, at least for the singing.

Elon Musk posted on Twitter that AI could destroy humanity so it’s not just musicians.

Watch the late scenes from the movie Tommy. Daltry climbs to the top of a mountain on large boulders like he’s walking to his car in the driveway - I doubt he even noticed it was nearly vertical.

I later heard that he was the only rock musician from the 70s who managed to avoid the drug scene...

Is there any Good News?

Roger says “Look-Up,Look-Up!”
He forgot the;
‘Whence Comes Your Salvation!’

[toddausauras]

There really is no music business. It’s become so corporatized that it has zero to do with art at this point.

[aynrandfreak]

We won’t get fooled again!

[Long Jon No Silver]

Roger is right to worry. The AI generation used in the latest surving and dead Beatles conflation ,Now and Then, was missing the seasoning of what Daltry calls ‘empathy’. AI is machine. It has no soul. And humans that have no soul are usually socio and psychopathic I like his advice about giving up TV. Live free without TV

Roger Daltrey is 80?!?!

Dang.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I have been in love with Roger Daltrey since I was a teen. Where do I sign up?

Oh, I don’t care about his VIEWS on anything, one way or another. I’d just like to meet him. ;)

[week 71]

Yeah. For kids today and their cell phones ‘It’s only teenage wasteland’.

[Dr. Franklin]

It may be too late. What the younger generation calls “music” isn’t music. Daltry was part of the British Invasion and Classic Rock. They don’t write ‘em like that anymore.

Roger Daltrey warns AI could ‘destroy’ music business

Roger has nothing to worry about, for now. Current AI-generated music sounds terrible, and in almost all cases, does not resemble, nor is inspired by the original artist.

AI can create notes of the same key, but I think AI has trouble figuring out what a good melody sounds like.

[Responsibility2nd]

The Who. Putting out hits since 1965. Amazing.

[linMcHlp]

AI has potential to destroy many businesses.

Using AI to absorb/study all patterns of demand, AI can “decide” what is, and what is not, “viable” or “sustainable” or whatever the owner-controller of AI wishes.

For example, if AI “decides” that QLXQYLZ Grocery Chain is THE best investment, funds for the competitors may vanish.

IOW, AI is naturally monopolistic.

[hecticskeptic]

Roger must have been listing to that AI piece with new words for The Sound of Silence....

[minnesota_bound]

There are only 6 media companies that control 90% of what we see and hear. They are the ones destroying tv, movies and music with blandness, bad writing, now DEI and quotas.
Not AI. AI will enable anyone to create better shows as they can write a show and use AI to create the sets and fill in the scenes with generated characters instead of using green screens.

[TalBlack]

AI can’t possibly go lower than a huge amount of what appears on top forty. What I hear on top forty is so simple and uninspired that I couldn’t t parody it. That is not hyperbole. I hear this stuff because my son likes it. There are real singers and songwriters on top forty but there ain’t a lot of them. Most of the stuff a kid thirty years ago could do in his bedroom. He’d call it a demo and put it out with the understanding that if someone wanted to produce it they could arrange it and flesh it out.
