Not one guitarist today is as good as:
Pete Townshend
Stephen Stills
Jimi Hendryx
Alex Lifeson
Ritchie Blackmore
Carlos Santana
I could go on and on but what's the point. You know it's true as well as I do. I assume you have ears. But generational pride and youthful hubris makes you post in defense of noise.
Admit it, you go home, put on some Pink Floyd and jack off to David Gilmour's solo from 'Mother', now don't you?
PS: Eddie Van Halen
