P.S. Neil Young has more talent and rock and roll attitude than anyone in the last 30 years. I'll give Slash a "bye" on this, but beyond Slash, there has not been a single guitar player who's been able to keep the faith.
Even Slash has failed. Steve Vai? Carlos Santana? A joke. Rock guitar is dead.

Qyoted for truth. I saw the Wembley show with CSNY in 1974 (on video, wasn't there sadly) and they did an electrified version of Stephen Stills 'Black Queen', all bluesy stomp and Stills WAILING on the guitar like fuckin' Hendryx taught him to. Killer amazing shit. Anything like that mind-blowing today? No. It's a fucking joke today, all distortion so no one can hear how bad the players really are.
