Im born in 1963 an listened to all those legendary rock band of that time.The list is endless ;Deep Purple,Rainbow,CCR,Status Quo,ADDC,Slade,Queen,Nazareth...
These bands and many more made superb music with great guitar solos.
No such music are made today and I wonder why. Isnt todays musicians good enough ? Or does not good bands come through the needle eye because hip hop and rap crap music is taking too much space??
hello gjedda63.
well... frankly, i don't know where to start. i don't like sounding harsh or agressive, i've always liked charing ideas and cultures. but i had to notice the "hip hop and rap crap music" part of your post. that makes me feel sorry because i love deep purple, i like rainbow, i find status quo nice to hear, and night at the opera by queen is one of the best albums i ever heard. i love jimmy page's work with led zeppelin. i love guitar, i play guitar myself. therefore i like a good solo from time to time. but music is not to be only what you like. and as an amateur of what i consider good hip-hop music (because there is some hip-hop that is real crap to my ears, exactly as some rock albums do), i can't accept you stating that this genre of music is merely crap.
shall i suggest that you get informed, by surfing the web, or going to record shops, sor even go to pubs where people perform, so that you can find what you're looking for?

Sunwaiter is being polite. I don't think this theme is worth a thread. I'll be thinking about gjedda63 the next time I hear a Ricola commercial. Guitarist from Norway, I did reply to you elsewhere about U2. And when I post pictures of my new, patentable semi-solid-body guitar, you'll know where the future of lead guitar is.
great bands and great singers, all have left us! they are maybe sitting somewhere else and playing music for somebody else, see for Axl Rose for example!
They are in Russia!
They're all over, just not the old burned out bands you're dredging up from the past.
Okay, there are some ghosts of dead bands still haunting stages and recording studios.
And even an old rocker like me can play new songs with slacker beats, easy for heroic solos.
That's what I thought about Jimi's "Band of Gypsies", slow droning bass for jams.
Looking around Magle.dk always shows some new bands getting it together big time.
