    Based on what I have seen thus far, it would seem its creative abilities are no more impressive than drum machines.

      It'll get way better, very fast. But it won't matter. Like every other creative field, AI music will have a use, but thankfully it seems humanity isn't so far gone that we no longer value personal expression.

      Please love yourself.

        Nobody wants to watch computers play each other at chess, or drive racing cars. They're not going to want to listen to AI generated muzak. I guess it could find a use in supermarkets, hotel lobbies and background music in movies, and Kenny G could potentially be out of a job.

        I was only joking

          Queen has been my favorite band of all time since I was 14. What they bring better than any rock band imo, is variety. The Beatles, obviously, were a huge influence. And yes, They all wrote and created. One of those matches made in heaven,, of how the greatest bands became great. Just a matter of putting the right blokes together to create. It’s a kind of magic😉

            Reading up on BoRhap, I found this bit of piano trivia in Wiki:

            "Mercury used a C. Bechstein concert grand piano, which he played in the promotional video and the UK tour. Due to the elaborate nature of the song, it was recorded in various sections.[20] The piano was allegedly the same one Paul McCartney had used to record the Beatles' song "Hey Jude",[4] as well as the same one Rick Wakeman used on David Bowie's 1971 album Hunky Dory."

            That is a very cool tidbit i did not know! I juat knew those Bechsteins were the whores of the piano world 🙂
            And good to always include in a daily dose of piano talk into this forum.
            Brw, my 2006 Petrof III Majestic recently had the works done by my blind guy who made it play like butter with his regulation and voicing. He also brought out the bass notes to a degree i thought not possible. A feature that was not inherent in this Petrof. I call him Mason now. Lol.

              The great thing about Queen is how talented each musician was. Though Mercury was the frontman, others were instrumental as well.

              Yeah, Mercury wrote Bohemian Rhapsody and Crazy Little Thing, other hits were the work of other members:

              May:

              • Fat Bottomed Girls
              • Flash
              • Hammer to Fall

              Taylor:

              • Kind of Magic
              • Radio Ga Ga
              • Sheer Heart Attack

              Deacon

              • Another One Bites the Dust
              • I Want to Break Free

              Mercury

              • Bohemian Rhapsody
              • Crazy Little Thing
              • We Are the Champions

              Also, when it comes to vocals, it's remarkable how Roger Taylor could hold his own next to Mercury.

              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                Roger helped save Freddy’s voice in live concerts

                All of the high operatic singing in Bohemian Rhapsody is Taylor’s voice

                  Care to elaborate? I'm curious.

                      Certain spots in certain songs that called for Freddy’s highest notes would be supplied by Roger while Freddy took the octave lower or just didnt sing it at all. It was just spots here and there not overly done. But enough to help out Freddie because those high notes add up, This old man knows and is thankful for added female singer in the band
