What happened to the lead?
So I’m driving to work today, listening to the local rock station, and it suddenly occurs to me… I haven’t heard a guitar solo in the last three or four songs.
What the hell happened to the lead guitar? It wasn’t all that long ago that you couldn’t switch from one station to the next without hearing a kick-ass guitar solo from bands like Pantera, Metallica, Guns & Roses, or Pearl Jam. But now, there’s no drum solo, no guitar solo, no… Well, no anything! WTF?
Have we reached a point where musicians are no longer capable of playing more than three chords?
What happened to rock music?
