had me both excited, then clutching my pearls in shock.
What if someone applied the same approach to The Sisters...
Ok obviously mimicking oasis, a derivative band already drawn in the broadest of strokes might not be that challenging, but the rub with The Sisters is, the new material is already there.
Instead of AI lyrics which have already been proven to be god awful or worse, someone writing in the style of
, they could simply feed the vocal samples in, like in the article, and get the AI AE to sing the new songs over cover version of the new material. Even new videos wouldn't be a problem by using deep fakes.The initial excitement at a new virtual Sisters was quickly replaced by revulsion.
I don't know about the legalities and undoubtedly, there would be cease and desist letters who be flying from the turrets of Eldritch's castle like rain from heaven, but the morality of it? Well, questionable sounds a little understated
It is like when advertisers use dead actors to sell s**t - or image or copy rights are signed away or licensed to sell any kind of s**t. It is outrageous.
And yet, even before AI, it's common practise. Elvis and Roy Orbison have recently both had hits with their voices put over orchestral backings, even Bowie had his vocals ripped from one LP to a new reimagining of Never Let Me Down, which always reminds me of the Bill Hick/Simpsons(?) joke of 'What I think God meant to say..."
Having said that, the last time someone tried to piggy back off Eldritch's artistic vision we got The Sisterhood -and I'm talking both versions...
