Nikki Sixx who was recently accused of faking 100% of his bass playing on The Stadium Tour took to his social media earlier today (Saturday, May 13) to write: “Recording in London England where so many of my hero’s [sic] are from ain’t a bad way to start the day.

“Hit the studio with Vince Neil today here in London. The new MÖTLEY CRÜE songs are 100% officially done and ready for mix.”

TMD has been tipped off that the reason the band was able to complete their first new studio album in 15 years so quickly with a brand new guitar player is with the help of AI technology, believe it or not.

This is not the first time Artificial intelligence was used to create a music product.

According to Big Think site we are at “the intersection between artificial intelligence/machine learning and creativity. There was a crazy AI-written movie script a while back, and a couple of attempts by AI at producing music . In one case, it generated a melody and basic chords (hiding, admittedly, somewhere inside a splashy arrangement contributed by a human arranger and performers). In another case, Google AI produced some, shall we say, abstruse piano fragments. But we haven’t seen anything like this before. Singer/songwriter — and YouTube star — Taryn Southern made a collection of songs whose instrumental backings were created entirely by an AI program (Southern writes the melodies and lyrics).”

The appropriately futuristic, palindromic title for the album is: I Am AI. The first single is “Break Free.”

The AI app Southern is using is called Amper. It’s a web-based tool in which you set some basic parameters for the music you want, and Amper creates, or renders, it for you. As the story goes, if you don’t like what Amper comes up with, you can render again. Its creators promise the app never repeats itself, presenting you with a new chunk of music with each render.

Southern claims that she’s done this “as many as 134 times to get what she was looking for in a particular piece of music.”

The few criteria you provide Amper are pretty simple. You can choose from among four styles.

Amper told her she was the first artist using it for songwriting as far as they knew, and they’ve been learning about their own program from what she’s doing with it. One obvious question that has arisen is who exactly owns the Amper-created songs, Southern or Amper?

Would credit go to Southern and the person/people who wrote the Amper algorithms? When asked about this, Southern laughs, saying, “We are working through those issues.”

Rock guitarist Bill Lonero is reportedly one of the first rock musicians to use a 100% AI produced album cover. Lonero’s newest album is produced by guitar legend Tony MacAlpine.

Word is that the new Crue also used a “ghost bassist” (rumored to be producer Bob Rock), and a “ghost singer” (Scott Stapp) for a majority of the album but that AI would also be used to produce Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and Vince Neil’s studio performances for the new record, similar to the AI Drake song that is causing so much controversy. These AI composed and mostly AI performed Crue songs will be turned into backing tracks for the live concert performances that each will just mime like disgraced pop stars Milli Vanilli did. All three remaining original members of the Crue have been caught fake playing along to pre recorded recordings. It’s said that even guitarist John 5 felt too much pressure filling the shoes of Mick Mars that the decision was made to go ahead and use AI to get the finished product.
