KIDS TODAY LISTEN TO MORE THAN NIRVANA!

****ING IGNORANT PEOPLE!

zeppelin was GREAT. sabath was GREAT. dp was GREAT.

van halen was not.

the "lack of solos" has decreased as the amount of good music has decreased.

it is coming back.

So tell me how you really feel...lol

Get over it....it wasn't just Nirvana, it was also MudHoney, Korn, Limpbizkit, nu-meatal in general, etc, etc.

Van Halen changed the way rock guitar was played, and the way it sounded...so now what?

And Freddie King, Albert Collins, Johny Copeland, Clarence "GateMouth" Brown, etc were excellent blues players, and I am a huge fan of these guys and many more. What about Joe Pass? D'Jango? Charlie Christian?
OR, Scotty Moore, James Burton, Eddi Cochran, etc...? Albert Lee, Ricky Scaggs, Steve Wariner?

These are not the players typical youth are listening to. So can you offer a better opinion as to why todays players hardly ever solo, other than the poor qaulity of todays, music? What would have lead to the poor quality of todays music? Could it be that a generation of players grew up on Curt Kabang?
