## Resource

Backing tracks, aging rock stars, AI, and the slow-motion disappearance of the classic rock era — this episode has plenty to chew on. Asia has a new song that sounds suspiciously unlike Asia, Glenn Hughes is stepping away from live performances, Brian May declares war on AI, and Nikki Sixx has a very convenient explanation for Motley Crue’s backing tracks.

The bigger question is whether fans should care about any of this anymore — or whether everybody should just enjoy the show while these bands are still able to get onstage.
