Rather nice cover, I still love this song so much, timeless. -

Had Nice Boys from GnR Lies come up on a play list today.
It's unbelievable to think that the singer of that song is the same person who I saw live in Singapore a couple of years ago. Completely different sound.
Speaking of which. It's a Rose Tattoo song for those that don't know. I'd hate to hear Axl aged 72, if he is still alive.
I randomly met a member of Rose Tattoo a few months back in a supermarket in Melbourne. Got into a chat about eggs of all things, he was a rural truck driver and said that it would shock the public to know the reality of the whole 'free range' eggs situation here. Said it was common practice just to label them that regardless of what situation the chickens were in. Anyway he didn't look like any of these in the video here, looked like a stereotypical image of a truckdriver..so either he was an ex member or I might very well have just been talking to a madman...

@Rembrandt They have had a lot of band members over the years with the only constant being Angry Anderson. Some of the long-term members died, others just replaced. The drummer in the video is the son of Jimmy Barnes, while the guy playing bass is Mark Evans, the original bass guitarist of AC/DC.

Love this song at the moment 💃🏼 -
@R-L Needs to be heard on a decent sound system to fully appreciate it though.

@voodoo Honestly mate .. it's been a long time since I was completely blown away by some new technology. And when I got the viral sound going, I totally was.
I think it's amazing. Yes, there are arguments as to how it can really be used, but it still completely blew my mind. I'd love to hear some live rock music though, to see if at volume you can get that concert sensation.

I was lucky enough to go the the Dolby HQ in Soho a while back and had a demo of Dolby Atmos in their amazing theatre. It was matched to a movie to show possibilities but my mind was spinning with the music possibilities where you could be placed right in the band if you wanted

@MajorRage a mate of mine put it like this "it's like I was alone on the dance floor of their sound check rehersal" . Summed it up well I thought .
Moving from 1 ear to the other is one thing, but when it felt like it was coming from a speaker many metres away, that was wicked

You are still thinking 2 dimensionally though. The real trick is using the whole multi directional capability where you can imagine height as well.
Think of being inside a spherical speaker. A proper immersive environment. Where you can 'feel' the bass coming from below or standing in front of the drumkit and the sounds are from slightly different levels. -

@Crucial does the current tech allow that or is that next level?
Current tech. Maybe not fully effective through headphones yet as you are restricted to two speakers but certainly in sound systems. Don't even need speakers set up all around you either as some of the new soundbars work on bouncing the sound around.
The biggest trick is in the mixing so basically you place each track into a 'sphere' image imaging the listener in the middle. A whole new avenue for music production. -

What are people's thoughts on the 8/16D issue? Gimmick or revelation or somewhere in between?
I quite enjoyed the sensation of the only 8D song I've listened to, but want sure if I'd want all music to play the same
It’s just panned and delayed 2-channel stereo. If it’s your thing then get hold of a copy of Boom3D (available for Mac and Windows) and apply it to anything you want. It’s a lot more controlled than any of the 8D stuff I’ve heard too.
As @Crucial says there’s no substitute for actual directed sound sources.

Bet quite a few of us are flicking around on YouTube killing time at the moment. Thought it might b good to highlight some live versions of songs that really do it and take an already great track to another level
Going to start with this performance by Pulp. Absolutely brilliant version of Common People that makes you wish you were in the crowd.
(I think this came into my feed as Westworld used the song and the original is getting lots of attention lately)
