Ahh, let's go for another two weeks - you heard it here first

12th March sounds good to me - happy to move it again!

RCVN Get Chat.gpt to write lyrics and then add chords/guitar parts over it.

I like it - though Chat.GPT may need some guidelines "Write me a song" might be a bit of minefield Actually, that might also be hysterical, research is needed!

V8 I've done a test run to write a song in the style of an artist and it came out pretty good.
But yeah, it can get messy

V8 Well exhibit A:

So I told it to: "write a song in the style of Metallica"

Now channel your inner Hetfield. In my head I'm hearing something resembling the verses of Master of Puppets throughout.

Verse 1:
Trapped inside my mind, with demons all around
Every step I take, they try to drag me down
The weight of my past, it's crushing me inside
But I won't let it win, I won't be denied

Chorus:
Ride the lightning, let the thunder roar
I won't be defeated, I won't be ignored
With the power of metal, I'll break these chains
And rise up stronger, in the face of pain

Verse 2:
The road ahead is long, and the journey is tough
But I'll keep on fighting, I won't give up
The fire in my soul, burns brighter every day
And nothing can stop me, I'll find a way

Chorus:
Ride the lightning, let the thunder roar
I won't be defeated, I won't be ignored
With the power of metal, I'll break these chains
And rise up stronger, in the face of pain

Bridge:
The darkness surrounds me, but I won't be afraid
I'll face my fears head on, and I'll make them pay
I'll conquer my demons, and I'll stand tall
With the power of metal, I'll never fall

Chorus:
Ride the lightning, let the thunder roar
I won't be defeated, I won't be ignored
With the power of metal, I'll break these chains
And rise up stronger, in the face of pain

Outro:
With the power of metal, I'll never surrender
I'll keep on fighting, until the bitter end
Ride the lightning, let the thunder roar
Metallica forever, forever more.

V8 Exibit B:

Write a song in the style of Metallica about bad drumming

Verse 1:
Can you hear that pounding sound?
Like a hammer hitting the ground
It's not the beat that we rehearsed
This drummer's making our music cursed

Chorus:
Bad drumming, it's driving us insane
Bad drumming, it's a never-ending pain
Bad drumming, we can't take it anymore
We need to find a new drummer, and even the score

Verse 2:
Every beat is out of place
It's like he's in a different race
We try to keep up, but we can't
His drumming skills, we simply can't grant

Chorus:
Bad drumming, it's driving us insane
Bad drumming, it's a never-ending pain
Bad drumming, we can't take it anymore
We need to find a new drummer, and even the score

Bridge:
We tried to give him some tips
But it's like he's playing with his feet in cement bricks
He's dragging us down, and it's not fair
We need a drummer with some real drumming flair

Chorus:
Bad drumming, it's driving us insane
Bad drumming, it's a never-ending pain
Bad drumming, we can't take it anymore
We need to find a new drummer, and even the score

Outro:
So we say goodbye to this bad drumming
And we hope to find a new drummer, who's forthcoming
We won't let bad drumming bring us down
We'll find a new drummer, and we'll rock this town!

RCVN That is so good. Fu**ing hell, that's Wierd Al level good!

First first one is a little cheesy and more - so something we'll hear on Lar's solo record,

But wow, the bad drumming one is damn damn good. I reckon that's worthy of a group GT effort. I'll start collecting riffage ️

V8 To be fair, a lot of Metallica is pure cheese.

Anyone vote for a deadline extension Part Deux?

V8 Thank you.

Sorry guys, I am having a hard time at work and home.

RodneyVikens You are not alone! ️
