not bad for a B-side

@Tago-Mago Damn, I miss Lemmy.

[Tago Mago]

@tody me too. As Fat Mike says, hate regret more than apologies, but I would have loved to see them

Billy Strings story here. Wearing his JMMs that are also pictured in his and his wife’s “we’re expecting” photo shoot.

@Tago-Mago You never did? This was my first time:

[Tago Mago]

@tody nope, and I used to listen to them quite a lot. It just never happened for some reason. I've been listening to Metallica since 1991 and my one and only concert was 2008!

How anyone can prefer some shredder jerking off on his fretboard to Gilmour is beyond me

[Tago Mago]

up for discussion: will AI ever be able to replace "real" musicians? Will I ever be touched by an AI-generated song the same way as by this or Comfortably Numb or Song of Unborn or Drive Home?

@Tago-Mago Seeing Pink Floyd perform Comfortably Numb in concert is one of the highlights of my life. The lasers, music, people, and experience may never be matched.

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd I liked you more before you posted this

[Tago Mago]

Kidding aside, if I had seen Pink Floyd play Comfortably Numb live I probably would have just dissolved into tears

[tody]

@Tago-Mago Well, people go to events where one guy stands on the stage, pushing buttons. So we're probably halfway there already.

[Tago Mago]

@tody True, and maybe this is just me turning into an old man. The counter-argument to that, in my opinion, is Kraftwerk. It's all electronic apart from the vocals but it feels incredibly human and warm.

Album out 11/1!

@Tago-Mago Didn't we find out last weekend that we turned indeed into grumpy old men already? Pretty comfortable with that, though.
My argument was not against electronic music per se. But I think that whole DJ-thing has no soul, it's just for the 'put your hands in the air and wave them like you don't care' people.

[Tago Mago]

@tody yes, yes and yes, And I think we both agree that there's good and bad music in every genre. Obviously what constitutes good music is determined by my liking it

…counter argument to DJ…
