But when you look at some of the Grunge bands like Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden...they still used some pretty awesome guitar solos, they were just more tasteful and less wanky than the hair metal bands. I mean, guys like Mike Mcready and Jerry Cantrell can play some great guitar. I consider them great guitarists.
I agree, nowadays it seems like a sin to have guitar solos, especially with the new crop of emo/indie bands..they have no problem using synths like they're going out of style, but they are afraid to throw any creative guitar into the mix. They probably just don't have the talent. There arent many new bands who have guitarists who make you really think "wow, that's a great guitarist".
