What do you think about "modern" Rock-bands? - Page 4

eh... For the love of god. Kirk Hammet actually talks about people like you guys in an old issue of Guitar Magazine. He talks about how it's trendy to not do solos, so people like you will constantly say "Solos suck!" yet, one day when solos are popular again, you'll all flip flop and say "solos rule!"

Anyways, I dont mean he should do full shredd solos, I just think something like copying the volcal melody on a couple of tracks would be cool. Jesus. Im done with you people.

my two cents about solos: if it makes the song stronger, and better, then include it. a lot of my favorite songs don't have solos (Lithium by Nirvana is one of those). I have a feeling the reason most of the bands now don't solo is because they can't, rather than won't. solos are hard to pull off and blend in to the song (you don't want the song to stop just to fit a solo in to it). I'll stop before this becomes a rant though

See, that's how I feel on solos. And you are right, alot of Guitarists now CANT do them. (I barely can -_- But hey, I just bought a Les Paul, so I can fake it!) Lithium is my favorite Nirvana song too, actually... But another favorite of mine is Disarm by the Smashing Pumpkins. Two Versions of this song, One, the accousting album version no solos, and its just a great song. Version 2 is on the Live DVD and they also played at the VMAs, and included atleast 1 solo, but Im thinking two was the actual number. The Accoustic version ended up beter.

One of my favorite solos, however is in Smells like Teen spirit, and alls it is, is Kurt copying Vocal melodies on his trusty Mustang.

Im feel like Im dying right now, so I am just going to end my rant.
