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

[thiswaythatway]

jeff loomis and chris when in nevermore or jeff prior to 2000

I saw Loomis play with Sanctuary in 1989 or so.

Fuck it.
Here is the 90's

Ill take this over all of the 80s

Pantera has less to do with ANYTHING that was out in the 90's and more to do with 80's metal and thrash. How many times did Dimebag say he was pissed off that nobnody else was playing any solo's?

this is a fun thread btw. for the record. I grew up on Black Sabbath, Hendrix and Les Zeppelin, so excuse me if I have offended anyone.

Tone is in the hairspray.

No, tone is in the one finger barr chord tuned down soo low that only whales can hear it.

It's become a fucking joke. I don't care about opinions, that shit is not music. There's no melody, no harmony, no singing, the drums sound like a computer, and the guitars sound like what just went into my toilet bowl. I bet they used some European high gain switcher that cost 4k!

Who cares what happened 25/35 years ago ? Just about nobody .... I listen to music that is new most ofthe time & could care less if it even has a guitar....like most people.

That is some of my favorite stuff from the 90's. I still listen to it all the time.

I wish Industrial would have continued on more. Seems like all of the bands changed later on.....


I still go back and listen to industrial every now and then, I still love the sound of Rammstein's Mesas pounding out punchy heavy riffs. Fear Factory was crushing but they kept changing band members and what not, seemed to lose their edge after Demanufacture.

.

I love all of that stuff. I have actually been on a huge NIN and Ministry kick for months now. I own a lot of synth and sampler software and love sitting for hours making the weirdest sounds possible

The sampling laws changed in the late 90's, and that seems to have messed everything up. Even other groups like the Prodigy changed a lot after that. It seems like the law changes sucked all the creativity away.

I just like to listen to it all. This week I'm actually in a total 90's mood, listening to nothing but Deftones, Incubus, Rage Against the Machine. Last week it was all 80's, Ratt, Dokken, Crue, TNT, Lion. Next week it might be power/prog time, Symphony X, Adagio, Circus Maximus. Then maybe the early 70's strikes, and it will be Budgie, Zeppelin, Leaf Hound.

I have plenty of bands/artists I don't care for, but I can't really bash any era outright. And I don't feel apologetic either. If I want to listen to Warrant or Limp Bizkit, I don't feel guilty at all. To each their own, but I'd rather just relax, enjoy what I like, keep taking in new music and let my playlist fit my mood.

My thoughts exactly. Well said!

80's.

The Wall was only out for a month in the 70's

Oh but the 90's had Lenny Kravitz, forgot about that. Damm.

Not even close.

As I'm driving around with my teenage kids, they plug their iPods into my car stereo. One minute they'll be listening to Mumford & Sons or M&M (the "now"), and the next it'll be Rush, Maiden, etc (the "then"). We talk about about music in general, and I make the assertion that likely much of the "pop" (radio air-played) music these days won't be around for very long, whereas some of the stuff produced in the 70s and early 80s has stood the test of time (Lady Ga Ga versus Boston for instance). All of my kids completely agree. This era in music is kind of like the disco era. There may be people who have a few fond recollections of it and even pull a tune or two out to listen to now and then (hell... even I do that with ALL eras)... but it won't stand the test of time and still seem great, new and fresh decades later. My 13 year old daughter was listening to Boston's "More Than A Feeling" two days ago with all the passion of someone who'd heard something great for the first time. I've heard those tunes so many times over the past four decades that I sometimes take them for granted, but I always down deep-down that they are special and always will be.

Our "pop" bands back in the day were bands like Journey, Boston, Aerosmith, Van Halen, etc... there just is NO comparison between those icons and today's style-over-substance, here-today-gone-tomorrow flash-in-the-pan stars. Even my young children are smart enough to realize that. Doesn't mean that I dismiss all new music or that I don't enjoy much of it. But it is what it is... entertainment that's new and fresh. Not necessarily great, iconic, timeless work.

Mmmm... hot chick... red bra... bouncy performance... wait... what music?

 

[duesentrieb]

she's dutch AFAIK and it was a huge hit in europe (don't remember when exactly . . .). It is just music and talking about music is like dancing about architecture or so.

Last concert I've seen was Placebo, formed in '94. Love them.

So true,

Different things to different people.

Playing a kegger with friends, doing some Rob Zombie Dragula will the party gets out of control..

That is rock and roll.

Reza maybe you should go and find a nice 90's forum to go and promote. Your overdouchyeness is coming to a boil. Aside from breaking out your Diezel cheerleader outfit daily what are you doing here?

This thread is really fucking stupid.

Very true! My band back in the day opened a few shows for Pantera around the Dallas area before they were the Pantera we all know and love. Dime was already a monster player but yes....they had big hair and spandex. We were a jeans and T shirt band. Probably because no one sold that stuff in the small town I'm from in Oklahoma. The other thing thats ironic about everyone knocking Van Halen and EVH but praising Pantera is... Van Halen was their biggest influence and Ed was Dimes favorite player.

I hear ya. My point wasn't that I thought the music sucked (cause I kinda liked it). It was that when I see a chick like that jumping around in a bra, the musician in me gives way to the teenage boy in me.
