Love this thread!!!!
-Most music today lacks originality, is soulless and uninspiring!!!
-The You Tube generation has ruined music especially guitar playing!!
-Slash is severely overrated to the point he has not done anything worthwhile since Appetite for Destruction
-I love all the Bee Gees and The Beatles stuff!! Barry Gibb and Lennon/McCartney are the best songwriters ever.
-Randy Rhoads is the best metal guitarist ever and no one has come close since in guitar composition and songwriting!!!
-Most if not all people had no complaints about Randy Rhoads studio tone back in 1980-1981. Most thought it sounded cool!!! It is only 10 to 20 years after that people said it sounded bad.
-Love Pantera, but Dimebag is overrated especially as a lead player!!!
-Never understood the fascination with Eric Clapton.
-And yes, Nickelback does Suck!!!!
-The best decade of music was the 70's (actually late 60s to early 80s)
-80's metal does kick ass with the exception of a few of the hairbands like Poison, Warrant and similar bands.
-KISS in the 70's Ruled the World!!
-Rush died after Signals!!!
-Having great gear does not make one a great player and I would know.

Great players will always sound awesome through crap gear!!!
-Carvin guitars are great guitars for the money!!!
-V30s rock despite the haters!!!
-Billy Blades amps sound kick ass despite him being a WACKO!!!
-Testament owns the Big Four and has so in the past 15-20 years.
-Most of the high end amp clips all sound the same!!
-Joe Holmes is probably one of the best guitarists these days!!
