Bob Weir Remembered, AI & Rock’s Future, New Black Crowes

from Amplified w/Darby

Dry January Darby checking in, fueled by tea and a life-changing electric kettle, running through the rock news for January 13th. We start with the heavy one — Bob Weir has passed away at 78, a true icon and one of the most influential musicians of all time.From there, we get into the good stuff. Alter Bridge talks about the very real fear of AI creeping into music, Candlebox officially un-retires (which I’m completely fine with), and The Black Crowes drop two new songs that I can’t stop listening to. Rich Robinson also breaks down how the next record came together, and yeah… it sounds like they’re locked in.Elsewhere, Sebastian Bach tells stories about almost joining Mötley Crüe, Puscifer announces their first-ever comic book series, and Taylor Momsen gets christened “Batgirl” by AC/DC after a bat incident that somehow turned into the coolest tour nickname ever.Plus quick hits on Poison The Well, Corrosion of Conformity, Black Label Society, and Mayhem, whose new song title may be the most aggressively unromantic thing you’ll hear all week.Find me on Instagram @darbyradio and TikTok darby.amplified — and I’ll be back Friday with more.All the news, all the noise, all in one place. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
