Do people still watch the Grammys? I think Trent Reznor said it best, "The Grammys = the old guard / old media propping up their puppets trying to convince the outside world (and each other) they're relevant."
I'm looking through their list of signature guitars, and while I definitely see quite a few players that I don't enjoy listening to, I don't see any that "suck." They're all technically proficient players.
I also must say that the most expensive guitar he ever bought was a road worn Strat or a HWY 1...So it's not high dollar gear that he is buying and selling...
Maybe that's his problem? He keeps buying trash that no one would be satisfied with?
