I guess I'll contribute to this mayhem. I don't necessarily think that it takes solos trucking it with 16th notes at 300bpm and up to be talented or even good. It just takes a lot of emotion which seems to be more so understood than anything else. Unfortunately to one person what has all the emotion in the world is complete garbage to someone else, so I've deduced that some are impaired and unable to feel the emotion from everything. And I'm guilty of that as well, I can't stand country. Doesn't mean that there's no talent, just that I lack the ability to feel the emotion in it. It doesn't speak to me the way I like to be spoken to and therefore the conversation just goes nowhere... nowhere good anyway. It's just a big disagreement and I find it best not to try and conversate with it and listen to something I enjoy and understand better. But this is all just my outlook on things. Rip it to pieces if you like.
