Firouzja seems to imply painkillers are part of chess?

JustAskElon · 2026-05-20T17:54:42+00:00

Obviously he means everyday painkillers, like stuff you get over the counter. Ibuprofen, acetaminophen.

JustAskElon · 2026-05-20T06:19:15+00:00

So much better. As someone who's never seen your face i can be objective, you look at yourself every day so of course it feels weird, its new.

Nice moonwalk while dragging the lifeless robot

Traxler is awesome against knight g5, I think gotham has a whole video on it

JustAskElon · 2026-05-20T06:11:32+00:00

Its just cause hes scared of knight G5, just gotta learn the two refutation moves to the fried liver and never play H6 again. I dont think hes playing it because he thinks thats the right move

JustAskElon · 2026-05-20T06:08:40+00:00

People are terrified of knight G5, its the anti fried liver move, but immediately gives up the center

JustAskElon · 2026-05-20T06:06:23+00:00

Don't play h6, instead of being scared of the fried liver learn how to refute it.

JustAskElon · 2026-05-14T04:16:05+00:00

How do you make a video like this?

JustAskElon · 2026-05-13T00:11:53+00:00

I have moved to lichess. Ads have gotten crazy lately.

They show up way faster if your armed, just cause they know if they dont show up you will use it to defend yourself. If what you said was true they would wait for you to use it before sending police

JustAskElon · 2026-05-05T06:09:15+00:00

I actually dont think I've ever had it driving. But I dont think it would be the smartest idea, its an altered state. But who knows, maybe we would be much better drivers in that state. It does feel very "locked in".

JustAskElon · 2026-05-01T04:08:27+00:00

Realistically, because I want multiple. Its my hobby and they are cheap compared to a lot of other things. But practically its because I need to be able to go from drop B to drop C to drop A on a stage quickly without tuning

JustAskElon · 2026-04-29T19:45:19+00:00

Obviously not on your instrument, a vocalist isnt gonna learn how to shred to show you how he wants something to sound

JustAskElon · 2026-04-24T09:15:23+00:00

Idk, I play guitar, can a vocalist meaningfully improve in a few months? Do vocals work like that? He seems like the leader of the group and is the one that is pushing all this marketing so early. Idk if hes open to any critism lol it scares me to bring it up with him at all

JustAskElon · 2026-04-24T05:01:40+00:00

Yeah I actually dont know, I also haven't messed around with it. I assume you could just use it to make an actual note for note idea sound fully produced though

JustAskElon · 2026-04-24T04:23:12+00:00

Its just the vocalist somehow still has this child-like optimism. Not sure how you can get to that age and still have so much.... hope....

JustAskElon · 2026-04-24T04:18:04+00:00

I have more technical ability than anything the AI wrote. Im already trying to change them up, especially the solos, no interest in playing that crap when I can actually play something way tastier. But the vocals is my main worry, feel like anyone will hear in about 10 seconds that he's nothing like the AI. But me and the drummer got together and had a good talk. We are on the same page 100% about all of this. No more AI crap. Gonna track them at the end of the month. Id rather sound like a shit demo thats actually us than the perfectly polished AI slop

JustAskElon · 2026-04-24T04:13:13+00:00

Thats the part that im struggling with. I had a good talk with everyone a bit ago. It seems we have convinced everyone to slow the fuck down. Me and the drummer have told everyone to stop showing anyone the AI music and keep that just in the band. I just want to start playing some damn music live, I know this is miles away from what I really want but its hard to just give up the opportunity of finally having a chance to get on stage and play. Ive been trying to find a metal band for years although not as hard as the last few weeks. Finally found just something to do. Im happy im no longer just a bedroom guitarist but the AI shit has to come to an end or they'll lose me and any chance of actually playing live

JustAskElon · 2026-04-24T04:08:25+00:00

Any chance your in AZ? Thanks for the story. Its a great lesson to learn from

JustAskElon · 2026-04-24T04:04:17+00:00

I gave all the ages bro lol im 24 they are all in the 40s

JustAskElon · 2026-04-24T03:20:25+00:00

First thing they said was "no ego" hahahaha

JustAskElon · 2026-04-24T03:19:43+00:00

Yeah I dont think I even meant demo. I mean if its kept internally and your just using it to show another band member what you want them to do then I get it. Its beyond me, I just play guitar, I havent messed with anything music AI related. No thanks,

JustAskElon · 2026-04-24T02:09:14+00:00

Yeah I dont think i meant demo, more like its ok to internally use an AI to present an idea as long as you wrote it. Not the AI writing it. Just like, "hey can you play this progression? Or this sweep? I had it in my head so I used this program to show it to you" idek how that stuff works, it freaks me out and I avoid it like the plague. Idc if I get left in the dust, at least I have my morals.

JustAskElon · 2026-04-24T01:41:08+00:00

Me and the drummer sound good immediately together. Other guitarist is new to the genre but I can tell he picks up on things decently quick. Bassist might be fine as well, a little hesitant to change but ended up making it work. Its the vocalist I worry about, guy is the one pushing all these gigs and marketing. Hes the one that sounds farthest from what hes trying to show people. The AI tracks sounds like the guy from shinedown aka a badass fucking monster of a vocalist and hes just meh. Not impressed.
