573 - Is the current model for guitar gear demos completely broken?

Brian and Richard are back for Episode 573 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Is the current model for guitar gear demos completely broken?  Blake has disappeared into an alternate reality for a week"s vacation so Brian and Richard take the reins...you have been warned! Richard defied previous wisdom and paid for the stream for the Ozzy Osbourne retirement festival and he is very glad he did. Brian reminisces about the good ole" days and Richard has various half baked opinions about the music he witnessed.  Richard got the creative urge to record some music and talks us through it and ponders about a particular feeling that he has identified. Brian reminisces about some of his early shopping experiences and goes misty eyed when Richard brings up a certain smell. Yes, you read that correctly. There is also a dubious smuggling tale. The question about guitar YouTubers and gear demos comes back up and the guys talk about how the landscape has changed for content creators. Brian offers some invaluable information and Richard is an idiot so business as normal. They do however both agree on future career choices.  Nuno Bettencourt, Axl"s Jazzy Sabbath, The whiff of tolex, Gen Z, Spicy AI Thirst traps...it’s all in this week’s Chasing Tone!
