610 - Are gigantic pedalboards back in fashion and what is the cure for a bad band practice?

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 610 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Are gigantic pedalboards back in fashion and what is the cure for a bad band practice?

Brian opens up with possibly the most Martinsville story ever and it confuses everyone before Richard attempts to steer the conversation back to music and reveals a sick burn that got him. He then overshares something he really shouldn't and has also nearly bought a Charvel.

Have you ever worked at a music store? The guys reminisce about their first jobs and Richard has good news about the state of modern music. Blake had a literal rude awakening when Richard sent a candid photo of a very famous drummer without considering the time zone differences. An icon of the music industry thinks Brian is too sexy for his guitar.

Do you listen to AI-generated music? A fraudster has made millions by illegally manipulating streaming services using AI and the guys debate this. Brian has technical issues. Richard makes a case for why the guitar can never be replaced by technology and is infuriated by fake rock star daughter profiles.

Backing track confessions, SNL x Wet Leg, K-Cups, Brian's Mandela effects, UFO Disclosure, Amplified Nation... it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!
