Ronnie Wood has said the “essence” of music is being lost due to the increasing use of technology.During a launch event for the new book Words Of Love – which celebrates the life of Buddy Holly, and whose cover artwork was created by Wood – the Rolling Stones guitarist shared his thoughts on the current state of the industry.Wood, who participated in the Q&A alongside Yungblud and The Who‘s Roger Daltrey, told those in attendance about his concerns over the growing reliance on tech, such as AI, in creating music.“We were throwing shit at the wall and some of it stuck,” the legendary musician explained (via The Standard). “There’s something about the technology… I feel personally, we’re losing the essence of the heartbeat.“Maybe it’s because I’m older, but there’s not much new music.”Yungblud commented: “I think rock music has been so convoluted because we got to be forced and twisted for a mainstream audience to turn the guitar down.“Modern music’s been in a strange place, but it’s exciting because it’s really, I feel it’s very democratic again.”He went on: “For the past four years a lot of majors [labels] have been able to control what we’ve been placed in front of us, but we know apps like TikTok, Instagram and everything like that… I really find that people can provide authenticity again directly.“If you have a story to tell, you can tell it and tell it to the world.
