About this episode
“How long before one of these charts, the top 20 is all AI? Five years? Not even that long. Two years? Two years.” Wait till you hear WHY they said it—it’s not just the new Bon Jovi/Def Leppard song “Walls of Jericho” sucking that convinced them, but a fictional AI-generated country band called Breaking Rust currently topping the charts. The new Bon Jovi and Def Leppard collaboration “Walls of Jericho” is so bad it convinced us the music industry is officially a corpse, and we can’t believe Jon Bon Jovi is calling this sleepy track a “barn burner”. This trash-fire single arrives as AI-generated bands like Breaking Rust are already topping the country charts, proving that the Classic Metal Show might need to pivot to the Classic Movie Show because the era of “real” music is dunzo. With David Coverdale retiring from Whitesnake and Dave Mustaine’s retirement tour lasting half a decade, is there any life left in rock, or is it just a cash-grab corpse waiting for the next AI takeover?
