Members guitarbilly74 Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 who's going to replace them? I mean guys like Page, Gilmour or even a younger generation like EVH, ZW, Satch Vai etc... when they're all gone, what happens to rock guitar? It dies out? Fades away? Already happening?

Members Dolf Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 Well, we have a younger generation, like 'em or hate 'em. Jack White, John Mayer, and of course the "virtuoso" players (timmons, guthrie, etc) but the era of the true Rock Legend as we know it is currently a thing of the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JR13 Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 Joe Bonamassa is a great player, but I'm not sure he'll ever reach 'Jimmy Page' status just because of how the music scene is today. Jack White is a great player too. edit: so basically what Dolf said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soundstorm Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 Crazy, I was thinking about this today. I think their absence will spawn a new generation of greats. People will gain a new appreciation for them once the old ones are all gone. Hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members diddlybo Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 Before rock guitar it was jazz guys who were the {censored}. Rock came in, jazz went out and it never came back. I think the same is happening to guitar based music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same way? Probably not. But {censored}, man The White Stripes couldn't have come along at a more necessary time for guitar-based ROCK to need a chance to get back into the fold of foreground music. And how many college douches do you think learned "Your body is a wonderland" on guitar just to get laid? At least a few of them had to continue to pursue the instrument, or continue to listen to Mayer's catalogue and realize there's a lot more to playing than open-strumming an acoustic. Don't get me wrong, I'm not calling these guys the New Millennium Guitar Messiahs or anything, but it's about all we've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Whirlwind Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 In another 3 years there will be good guitar plugins.Just like 'drums like bonham' or 'early 80's keyboards' plugins next will be 'hammet mega wah solo' and 'djenty chug rythm' plugins and it's all be edited so all you need to do is sample your singer from a 1950's vinyl, autotune it and then finally your completely 'in the box;!!!!!

Members bish0p34 Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 None of these new guys have a playing with any real personality, IMO. There's some technically good players out there, but none that have that certain something. I was never a big EVH fan, but he had an attitude when he played. Zakk Wylde IMO wants to be John Sykes in the worst way, but they both had an attitude. Vai has an attitude when he plays. Al Pitrelli has an attitude when he plays. Blackmore has it. SRV had that attitude too. Yngwie even had it when he wasn't wanking (basically about 5% of the time). Randy Rhodes had that attitude too. None of these new guys are really that inspiring. Jeff Loomis is technically good. Synister (I may have spelled it wrong) Gates is technically good. Coheed is technically good, but I haven't heard that real fire and passion for the guitar in years. Needless to say, rock guitar is at a real low point these days. It's already happening. I just hope somebody lights a fire under somebody's ass soon.

Members Rey Gato Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 There are no replacements. There are no guitar heroes, and there are no more rock superstars. Bands like Zeppelin, The Who, AC/DC, etc. are the last of a dying breed. Sure there are stars, and there are guys who play guitar in famous bands, but they will never achieve the near legendary status that was once bestowed upon their forefathers by millions of screaming fans. It truly is a sad state of affairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
