I might be a little narrow minded in this blog but this is just my opinion. I find that MOST of the Good music is gone with the exception of John Mayer and others. I feel that Guitar in new music has lost the great tone and talent. I find death metal is talented guitarists but I hate listening to it. I think the new generations music is lacking talent, or a better word better riffs. Does anyone esle agree. Ohh and Jack White is the worst guitarist ever. haha (had to throw that in cause I've been told that he is the best guitarist of our generation).
I have to agree that most music kind of sucks these days. It seems like all the new music that is good comes from bands that have been around for a long time. (Although I really like the white stripes, but to each his own, I guess)
If you're resourceful and you look around you'll find that there is new music that is cutting-edge. Bands today have great guitar work.. just look for them. Muse anyone? Or perhaps The Mars Volta?
