MTV has shoved dance music down the throats of the hungry consumer. People want the same four count heavy bass drum beat in everything they listen to. It is even an underlying theme in other types of music. Radio will only play what they think people want to hear. They think people dislike guitar bands, and the labels are scared of guitarists right now. Playing live is evidence to me that people still love a killer guitar solo. We do it with our 3 piece in about 80% of our original material. I think it will come back around, people will get tired of the steady dance beat thing, and guitar solos that really come from the soul will be heard on the air once more.
