OFF: Is Guitar Rock Dead?

[BREVARD, Adrian R.]

One of the Guitar magazines has a cover story about the lack of
imaginative guitar playing in todays modern music scene.  Didn't read
the  whole thing but several people suggested that Techno-dance music is
about to take over in a big way and that rock may be leaving the scene
all together (fat chance).  Still there is a huge gap in todays music as
none of the newer bands seem to care or are able to perform the old
standard flaming guitar solo.  Any of you professional out there have an
opinion on this?  Have we seen the last of virtuosos like Buck, Ted
Nugent, Frank Marino, Robin Trower?

I know there are several young guys who can play but they don't appear
enamored with the mosnter solo.  Thoughts anyone?
