M. Shadows: The Unfathomable Future Of The Music Industry

Фильм және анимация

This time on Locales Only, we have Matt Sanders, aka M. Shadows, the frontman to the legendary rock group Avenged Sevenfold. Despite the clouds in Newport Beach, Matt’s amazing insight shines bright as we cruise around. We get an inside look at the future of VR in the music industry, the challenges current artists face, and how the blockchain might be changing the way record labels interact with artists forever!
Big thanks to Fletcher-Jones Motorcar of Newport Beach for sponsoring the show and building out the all-electric Mercedes-Benz EQE as our rolling podcast studio!

    I love how smart Matt is. He's completely right, them trying to shift the industry into having a more direct connection to the artist is awesome. The closer you are to the artists you love, the better you feel their art. With all these new technologies, people could try to build something amazing, but instead, these new techs are being hoarded by people that only want money. That's what happened with NFTs, and now it's AI. AI has such an amazing potential, but instead of creating new opportunities and experiences, corporations are just using it because it's cheaper. One thing AI shouldn't replace, is art. Art, in the form of music, drawings, paintings, movies, or anything else, is just the most direct connection we have to the soul. AI doesn't have any of that. We can use it as reference, or to get inspired, but living in a world where all art is created by machines is scary to me. And tbh that's why i disliked A7X's new cover art for (O)rdinary. It's just uninspired AI slop.

    Another great interview with Matt, he really has a way of explaining things. his examples and comparisons always help me understand what he's saying or trying to say. that said, I've learned a lot about the blockchain and web3 stuff by watching his interviews, like this one. Wish the video was longer😂.. and I like his take on the whole VR thing. It baffles me that people aren't going crazy about the VR concert. It's like you're right there with the band! and it's only going to get better.. if people will just stop hating on new technology🙄 Anyways, I'll stop yapping. Thanks for the interview, and I recommend you do grab a pair of those apple googles so you can check out those VR concerts :)

    I was on the fence but after thinking about it from the biz side I agree it is punk rock!!!! it cuts out the greedy middle men whom have dominated and taken advantage of the people whom should have been getting the pay day. The artist.

    One good point Matt brought up- attending meetings with the big people who are making these decisions. This can pertain to many industries. You can sit back & complain about where your company is going and/ or the decisions they make... or... at least attempt to be part of the solution where everyone can benefit. Have your voice heard, suggest something, ask questions. Too many of these younger generations are too scared (sometimes lazy) to be part of the solution, or WORK for it. Internet ruined us to an extent. Matt knows how to take advantage and make it work for him. Show up & speak up, don't just sit back and continue to be non-existent to those whose decisions may impact you. FYI, that VR concert was interesting. Awkward & in-your-face at first, but so cool and immersive!! 🤘😎🤘

    Okay, look...I've been an Avenged Sevenfold fan for almost two decades, and I'm going to admit that when Avenged Started the on the Blockchain, I didn't get it at all and was very scared and angry. I'm a musician too, so I honestly thought some bull-shit was afoot. Now, I can honestly say I'm starting to 180 on the whole thing and I'm so grateful to Matt for explaining things. I certainly do not want to be siding with corporations.

    I think one of the reasons why Avenged Sevenfold is hated is because people can’t stand the fact that they’re always head of everyone else, when it comes to technology experimenting and planning the future. 👽

    When I-max came out in the 80s my friend got tickets to a Rolling Stones concert movie shown on I-max. It was pretty cool for not being there in person. So now the technology for 'non-live' events has to be much better with so many creative ways to use it. I disagree with any backlash about someone's art or what people want to see or participate in if it's not harmful.
