It wouldn't surprise me if more guitar oriented bands start making a comeback, although I'm not going to hold my breath while I wait, I think there is hope , if, the songwriting is strong and the solo's, riffs, fills etc are kept short and interesting, growing up in the classic rock era that seemed to be the formula for pop radio, I think the 90's disappearence of the guitar solo may have been in part a backlash against hair bands that were big on guitar and short on songwriting kind of like the new wave/punk bands were a backlash against the 70's rockers, Maybe Los Lonely Boys are opening up the door a bit, I bought their CD and it's the first CD I've bought in over 10 years that getting any popular/rock radio airplay ..............
