I think we're in an era of digital crappy music. Real rock was in the sixties and seventies with guys like Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page and Ted Nugent cranking out killer guitar jams.

As if that's a bad thing. Do you really think that songs from the 70's or 80's are inherently better, just because they were longer and had more guitar solos than songs from the 50's and 60's?
Pro Tools, baby!In general im 2000's rock music the guitar solos are 4 seconds long or non existent in most songs. Why does everyone think this trend is occuring?
I agree skill means nothing thats why I play from the heart. Thats all that matters to me.
I have a good guess, that long solo ERUPTION made Eddie "the" guitarist that everybody had to hear. Eruption is Eddie and it is looooong.

No but the opposite is true too. 50's and 60's songs weren't better because they didn't have long guitar solos. Every good song has an interesting reason for being good sometimes its a great solo sometimes its a great melody, a lyric etc.....Well I for one certainly do not.
hm so you would prefer a band to play a 30 minute set then maybe a 60 minute set with jams and solos? What makes you think a band is going to play more songs if they don't jam/solo maybe they just play a shorter set? Solos and jams tend to give certain band members breaks so they can play more time and hence more songs. This is usually true of the singer who gets a break during the solo. Solo's aren't always about showing off sometimes it gives certain members of the band some time for fun. Next time you see a band with a soloist check their face out most of the time its the only time you see them smile.I enjoy a good guitar, or any other instrument, solo during the instrumental break of a song - but like you I can't abide instrumental noodling/prolonged jamming or guitar "theatrics" of any sort. Enough already! I paid to hear more than one of your songs. Play the next song or haven't you practiced any of the others for this concert?
