What happened to Jimmy page, Tony Iommi, Angus, Eddie, SRV, and Jimi?? Guitar playing has gone down the drain. If anyone thinkgs i am totally wrong please give a couple bands that are fairly new taht have good guitarists. The closest thing i can think of nowadays is Justin and Dan Hawkins from the Darkness.

I agree.
Their are some realy heavy guys out their that know what their doing, but they drown it out with screaming and have their guitars tuned down so low you can't hear it. The [I]only[/] band out their I know of that is doing something interesting is Jet, and you can't listen to more than three of their songs without hearing the same exact thing. And all the old, even great bands that think their still out their (like Mettalica and Van Halen) sound like crap. I don't listen to the ratio at all.
