PYROTECHNICS

Dave stumbled across something on YouTube that confirms what I have suspected for a while. An entire channel is promoting a band that never existed. The songs sound exactly like 80s rock, catchy riffs, powerful vocals, everything you would expect. But here is the twist. It is completely AI-generated. No musicians, no studios, no sweat, just algorithms cranking out retro anthems. It made me laugh, but also made me think. How long before your favourite genre gets copied forever without a single person involved? You can hear the full version of this rant in the next Pyrotechnics podcast episode, dropping soon. #AIinMusic #RockPodcast #PyrotechnicsPodcast #80sRockRevival #MusicDebate #FutureOfMusic #ArtificialIntelligenceMusic #RetroRockVibes #MusicControversy #AIvsHumanCreativity -- Visit our website at https://www.fireworks-magazine.com -- Have you seen/heard of our podcast - Pyrotechnics https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8D3uv8E2iFnctOwNogA2B1HqXtEx-zQw&si=99CHS6ibhEIDJdPt FOLLOW US ON OUR SOCIALS.

Your attention might be getting hijacked by endless new projects claiming to be supergroups. You know the type, one album starts strong, then six records in, it’s all different people and completely different songs. It’s confusing for fans, and frankly, it’s taking attention away from real bands. Some of it even feels like AI could jump in and take over entirely. Want the full scoop and the names we’re thinking of? Catch the full version in our forthcoming Pyrotechnics podcast episode, dropping soon. It’s sharp, honest, and a little bit controversial, exactly the way we like it. #RockRevealed #MetalMadness #BandExposed #MusicTruths #LineupChaos #BehindTheTracks #PodcastHeat #NoFilterRock #MusicControversy #PyrotechnicsUncut -- Visit our website at https://www.fireworks-magazine.com -- Have you seen/heard of our podcast - Pyrotechnics https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8D3uv8E2iFnctOwNogA2B1HqXtEx-zQw&si=99CHS6ibhEIDJdPt FOLLOW US ON OUR SOCIALS.

Dan and Justin Hawkins have been stirring the pot again, this time targeting Yungblud. You might know him from the Ozzy tribute, or his new collaboration with Aerosmith. The Darkness didn't hold back, calling his performance everything from cynical to nauseating. Justin added it was all posturing, not real Rock and Roll. But you have to wonder, who are they to judge? If you want the full take, and a few laughs at the expense of the rock elite, catch the full version in our forthcoming Pyrotechnics podcast episode, dropping soon. You won't want to miss the fiery debate and behind-the-scenes stories they never expected to hear.

If you want the full debate, laughter, and some slightly controversial takes, catch the upcoming episode of the Pyrotechnics podcast, releasing very soon. You’ll hear every argument and maybe rethink who really ruled the '80s metal scene.
