Most of the time the answer is no. Less is more! Think of the most popular songs of all time, are they guitar virtuoso songs? No, they're a simple hook.
gonna disagree with ya on that one, to me the greatest rock songs of all time have epic ass guitar work. Cream, Aerosmith, Hendrix, Van Halen, Metallica, Guns and Fuckin Roses, Led Zepellin. i mean really dude did you think about what you said before you typed it????
On top of the classic shit i listed 2 modern bands in my past thread, on top of that add in up and comers like Escape the Fate, epic rocks Coheed and Cambria. seems to me that the bands that are making an impact have guitar solos for days. Look at country top guns Brad Paisley and Kieth Urban.
lets take pop, john Mayer is the shining guitar hero there and fuckin nuno is on tour with Rhianna right now, he gets to shred balls every night. we all have seen the clips of pinks guitarist, justin burnin a hole on that fretboard every night too.
just my humble 2 cents, but man you struck a nerve on this old redneck with that post

Absolutely agree. Seems to me that producers and labels have been following formula's and buying in to their own BS for so many years that they can't see past their own ego's.
If the producer that we used "loved" our material so much why did he try to change everything about the songs and sound when we got in the studio? What really was his goal? To make us sound like ass? To make us sound like everybody else?
Once again, that guy knew nothing about what rock music should sound like. He has no history with it. I do.
