Rock music. What happened to guitar solos? Why do bands not do that anymore? It doesn’t have to be a long fast 2 minute thing, just a short section.
Even bands that used to make it a point to have a nice long one in every song like Metallica. Kirk Hammett hasn’t had any sort of solo in his last few albums which is crazy. What happened to him? A solo is how a guitarist puts in his creative stamp on a song. You’d think they could hardly wait so they could bust out and express themselves. Now its all power chords and memorable hooks. You don’t need two rhythm guitarists for that crap.
Remember the solos in Aerosmith – Amazing, Guns ‘N Roses – November Rain, Metallica – One, Pink Floyd – Comfortably Numb, Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven, Lynard Skynard – Free Bird etc.
