A String of AI Controversies and a Coppersound Collab!

The Dads are back after a little radio silence — rusty strings, sharp opinions. Alex from Coppersound Pedals joins to unpack the new JHS DIY pedal kit collab, the Boost Drive Fuzz — three pedals, one box. Then it's Bon Jovi and David Lee Roth's live vocal struggles — rough night, rough tour, or rough decade? Plus the D'Addario AI backlash and Fender CEO Bud Cole's now-viral take comparing cover bands to "analog AI." We aren't holding back on these ones. Welcome back to Guitar Dads.
