rdg1 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 the rest will be Corporate Singer Rulez! bands where the musicians are low paid and disposable. Thats already pretty much the situation with bassists and drummers. Soon the great guitarist will be a dinosaur except for the 3 or 4 stadium bands that are fronts for the big manufacturers. I think the U2 pinko Bono is a director on Fenders board. Really, when you think about it...even the best musical band, Led Zeppelin, is totally ruled by Robert Plant. Page can't take a shit without Plant ok'ing it. LZ music wouldn't sell if Page hadn't stumbled onto Robert Plant incredibly unique voice. Same thing for Fleetwood Mac. Think that stuff sells without Stevie Nicks voice? Or the perfect harmonic match with Lindsey Buckingham.... Its all central planning by the money bags now. They don't need any more than 3 or 4 stadium bands. You can't be a great guitarist now...you have to be a musical architect. Look at Doug Aldrich, a Les Paul player. "Hey folks, I'm quitting this monster band called Whitesnake because I'm writing this killer solo album and chit thats taking up my time now"...translation: "I couldn't buy a bowl of Fruitloops on my Whitesnake "salary" and that deadass band is finished. I'm now working the local casino playing classic rock for peanuts. There is no future in this guitarist racket" Randy Rhoads saw the writing on the wall before his little stunt plane mishap. He knew that total illiterate Ozzy ruled over guitarists and there was nothing he could do about it. So he was leaving for a university gig. Its over folks...the days of a bunch of bands starting up in garages is over. Guitars are for hanging in the den and never playing them now.
