There is absolutely no valid argument for why there shouldn't be players today who can play with just as much feel and emotion as any of the oldies.

I didn´t say that there aren´t any players today who play with just as much feel, I just said that I hear them very rarely. It just seems to me that many people lose more and more respect for these guys, although you hear influences of hendrix in everone´s playing. It just disturbs me that many players just concentrate on technique and often forget the musicial part, and as a result they can shred perfectly but you can´t stand listining to THEIR stuff longer than 5 minutes because they can´t create any melodic part which catchs the listeners ear!
