    They usually are 'known to police'.  And that is a testament to the supremely difficult job they have.  They round them up, and the courts send them home.

     

    My prayers go out to the Hicks family.

    Right, and that's a pretty limited subset of today's music.  I could name a handful of great metal guitarists, like Paul Waggoner, but nobody is going to know who the hell they are.

    I could make a list of 20 at least that are world class....but like you said.....who would know them?
    Popular music isn't about talent.  Metal is overflowing with amazing talent, whether I personally like BTBAM or not. hehehe

    See, you're never going to get that kind of recognition of a single guitar player or something like that anymore.  Pre-2000, sure, everyone was familiar with certain bands.  But now, the selection is so varied that there are very few bands that "everyone" knows, and even fewer individuals.

    I can point to a guy like John Frusciante (formerly of Red Hot Chili Peppers) as a great guitarist, but how many people specifically know who he is?  It's a different world now.  There are no more Eric Claptons because you will never get people to agree on such a wide scale... because again, the selection is just too huge.

    The two genres that have the most talented guitarists (and musicians in general) ?

     

    Jazz and Metal

    Lol... That's cute you think Country isn't auto tuned BS. Country radio is mostly a steaming mess. 

    Country pretty much no longer exists.  I'm no fan but I know a decent amount about the genre.  Most of it is auto-tuned country-pop (heavy on the pop)  Even when a new artist like Lee Brice comes out, he eventually turns pop....just like Luke Bryan did.

    Define "known" ?  There are a million bands out there producing music of every kind.  There is more music being produced now than ever before.  Just gotta know where to look.  If all your music comes from HOT 103, well yeah, it's going to be a certain brand.

    "Known"

    I would take that as a recognized mainstream-ish band that the populace acknowledges as a great musician.

     

  6. Ok, just checked them out............yuck.....yuck to the 10th degree.
    Sounds like Imagine Dragons doing a car commercial.  It's funny they use the words Big Rockin announcement.  These guys don't rock, more like limp towards a dentist office.

     

    But it's not a big deal as I don't usually watch half time shows anyways....I'm a football fan, and half time shows are not for the actual football fans.

    After the game, I logged on while I was in my hotel (I was pretty drunk, I can't deny :lol:) and read about 4 or 5 pages of screaming and whining that they got robbed, we got handed the win, blah blah blah.

    So I wrote "hehe"

    Logged on the next day. Banned for a week. :lol:

    RF is almost a fascist state.  Any straying from the main agenda means you get attacked and told 'gtfo'.  It's pretty laughable.

    I should have known better than to read Rod's article this morning. Threw up in my mouth way too many times.

    wow that guy really has no idea.  

    he sounds like the idiots we overheard in McDonald's the morning after the '09 grey cup who were saying they should have to replay the game because the ending was bad.

    this is the idiocy of the rider fan.
