Really shows how completely and fully ignorant to the guitar, guitar theory, and the whole summation of music you are.
I know you'll get on your high-horse about Hendrix next but I'm not saying any popular acts from today are any better than the masturbatory boomer noisemakers from the past.
Thats the hilarious part about this banter. No mention of the truly great guitarists past/present from America or the ones of the world stage who have struggled endlessly in America for decades. Just a retarded comparison of shitty over-hyped rock guitarists to the shitty corporate machine of today.
Same shit machine, different calendar year. Same old boomers trying to hilariously convince the world that their hero's of yore are better than present day "guitar hero's" without even knowing what a real guitarist or even music sounds like.
Probably why legendary, once in a century type guitarists like Paco De Lucia would rather tend to their garden than play music anymore.
Then I guess we belong to the same generation unless you are collecting SS checks. You sure sound like a typical ignorant, idiotic boomer when it comes to music.

Possibly the saddest thing in this thread is this kind of evidence, the notion that a lot of young people today will sit around dissing classic rock eras of the 60's, 70's, 80's and beyond and sling derisiion like they're some sort of superior enlightened music afficionado yet UTTERLY FAIL to understand that without the greats of decades past you wouldn't have today whatever it is you have.
Garce is right. I've always listed to the classic stuff but have also always had my ear to rail for good new stuff, standout stuff, "future classic" stuff as it were. The train slowed to a trickle 10-15 years ago and has now all but stopped. I've been waiting to see what today's music has in store that is worthy of what came before it but sadly, it just doesn't seem to be there.
I like the odd song here or there but I couldn't tell you the name of the band in many cases much less the guitarists' name. Few stand out today. Not like the late 70's - early 80's when everyone knew who Brian May was, who Eddie was, who Angus was, Page, Clapton, Frampton, and on and on.
Music industry's fault? No doubt about it but perhaps it's a shared fault between it and this new young generation of kids who'd rather dis the older and wiser than go out and create something that stands out from the rest and is worthy of what came before it. Where are today's gods of rock? Gardening you say? How sad.
