Why don't 90's guitar players get talked about here?

[Badronald]

I'll call Warren Haynes a 90's-present player. Love that guy.

Hell yeah!! Love Warren Haynes with Gov't Mule.

I just re listened to Live at Roseland Ballroom with Allen Woody.
Damn! Those guys were hot. Miss the Trio.

So make ART, or make a product, very few accomplish both, and when they do it's unintentional and magical.

I think there are a number of '90s+ bands out there who have managed to do both. But yeah, it is rare indeed. Ones that come to mind that are within the realm of rock/alternative (not pop or R&B) are probably Muse, Tool, aaaaaand..... hmmm.... I don't know. Maybe Red Hot Chili Peppers? Tool isn't that popular with the average person. Muse? Maybe a little bigger of a following. RHCP have a pretty mainstream following. Who else? Hard to think of bands that have a true blend of "art" and "product." I guess the real examples throughout time are the ones who helped define a genre.

1. because there's a LOT of guys in here that are stuck in the 80s

2. The theme in here is shred and there wasn't as much shred in the 90s however guys from the 90s like Cantrell, Dimebag and other notables from the era don't get discussed enough in here, I will admit that.

For me, listening to people solo for 30 minutes is torture. I don't care about all the meedley meedley meedley meedley. I want to hear good music, not good solos. It's like listening to a pop singer do runs for a whole song. Who the fuck cares about that. People get all wet for EVH. Van Halen has maybe two or three good songs. And people really only want to hear that shit as a background track in a funny buddy-cop parody movie where a black guy and a white guy team up to kick ass and take names: cue the synth line from Jump.

Yngqie? Please. Nobody outside of internet forums knows who he is, let alone knows how to pronounce his stupid name. Might as well be called Nguyen.

Vivian Campbell? Devo had like one good song and they've held onto those stupid tiered hats for ever. Jesus, let it go already.

Jake E Lee wishes he were Ozzy. Because people have actually heard of Ozzy. Who the fuck is Jake E Lee.

Never heard of Nuno. Lynch is more shred wankery that nobody outside of internet forums listens to, Schenker sounds like a brand of shitty fake German beer, Randy is the creepy dude working the CVS pharmacy, and Ratt? Really... Ratt? I've never met anybody in real life that actually liked Ratt. That had a job and could support themselves.

Best post ever

I do however like good solos that add to a song.

Look at the age demographic here at RT. It would put a lot of guys in their youth back in the 80's. It's not my thing either, and VH, lynch, and the rest of them... I have very little interest in talking about or listening to them. BUT, it beats the heck out of the punk, broke, loser kids on the rest of the forums out there. So for a guy like me that is younger, but isn't broke, doesn't like hardcore death metal, and shares the same political views as most of the more mature guys around here, RT is a pretty cool place.

What I like seeing is this newer era of guitar players. Killswitch Engage as just one example.

Nothing wrong with liking the 80's shred/hair bands, but I agree with some are stuck in the 80's. I do admit I still listen to some of the 80's stuff, but I also love bands like DT (well used to), AIC, Tool, Nevermore, Lamb of God, Machine Head, Evergrey, Symphony X, JORN, Redemption, Riverside, Opeth, Havok, and Arch Enemy to name a few.

I'm curious to hear the new Arch Enemy

Same here

It's really that bad?

The new track that has been released on YouTube is pretty good. Angela's replacement sure can scream!!!

Nope!! Pretty good to me!!

Why don't more fat chics do porn? Low demand..

Teenage girls drive the music industry. They liked the spandex boys for a while then switched over to the flannel clad depressed emo boys.

Guitar based music seems to be getting farther and farther from the center.

Still great players out there, just not the name recognition.

Rappers get the name recognition. I couldn't give a shit less about rap or any of that crap derived from it.

Whatever.

Haha wow.
Younger, hotter and can sing better.

Sorry Angela that is how I feel.

 

[tubortski]

Some solos, no solos, solos that sound different than EVH...

 

[tubortski]

Ok, I'm done.

I agree on both!!

Van Halen has maybe two or three good songs.

There's a lot to criticize about the over the top 80s, but this is clearly not one of them. VH is all about songwriting and interesting rhythm structures presented in a pop format, which happens to include complimentary solos. This post just reeks of a intentional contrarian post just to see how many replies one can get. Enjoy

I started getting serious with the guitar in 1999, and come to think of it, you're right! I don't get talked about enough on here. WTF?!!
