"From The Beatles to...Ian Youngs ( BBC News )<br /><br />"From The Beatles to the Arctic Monkeys, Britain's great rock bands have belted out the soundtracks to our lives and carved a place at the heart of our culture.<br /><br />So why have so few new bands broken through in the past couple of years? And what are new acts doing to keep guitar music alive?<br /><br />There is a theory that says, almost 60 years since the birth of rock 'n' roll, all the great guitar riffs have been played to death."<br /><br />When I look to innovative and inspired offerings such as this Ripley, I can't help but wonder WHY? For all the technology that's been applied to 6 strings, how can we say guitar [bands] are 'dead' when we put so little effort into even understanding what was commercially and -widely- available!<br /><br />For all their self-appointed 'expertise' in mastering technology, why are humdrum Strats and LP's still king w/ the younger set? Perhaps Gavin was right all along, for all the blather about wanting to do something 'groundbreaking', in our core, most guitarists are really just traditionalists. ( para ) <br /><br />At 53, onboard effects date back to before I owned my very first guitar, so I don't really have an excuse either?
