Unfortunately, no one cares if you can play like SRV or EVH or whomever. There are a metric shit ton of guys that can do that in LA, in time, one take. It means nothing. But if he can compose and produce, the future is wide open. |

I thought it was dead several years ago while searching for rock, even classic rock last year. I just might just be old but seems the lines are more blurred than before as far as "genre" is concerned. Always say I realized I was old when rock was called "classic rock" back when! |

Dane is dropping real music business knowledge on you ****s.
The people making the real money in the music business are behind the scenes. It's rare for acts to be profitable anymore. A lot of the transition has been self-inflicted. The RIAA ****ed themselves by not embracing electronic platforms earlier. Music used to dominate peoples' entertainment "wallet". Now music competes with video games, youtube, movies, tv, etc. Edit: Also, pricing. The industry ****ed themselves by not making albums cheaper as production methods got cheaper. |

Also, it should be noted that with almost every guitar player who "makes it", there are thousands who don't and have to pack it in sooner or later.
Every legendary guitarist has stories about guys they came up with being a better player, composer, producer, better everything than they were. Even back when guitar driven music was "in" and the record industry was somewhat healthy, it still took an incalculable amount of luck to make it or at least make a decent living at it, and even then that didn't last a lot of the time. Henry Rollins used to do bits about the people of Hollywood in the music, movie, and fashion industry who took their shot and didn't make it. They were miserable. |

It still would have ended up in the same place it is now due to the high prices of the music and the fact that people have slowly had their wallets squeezed by the worsening state of the economy over the last 15 years. |

Because they allowed their domination of people's entertainment time/budget, they now compete across different forms of entertainment (look at how big the video game companies have gotten). |

[QUOTE=alanm;11731822]Im sorry is there no one out there who makes your jaw drop anymore playing a instrument like the guitar. Does it even matter anymore? And if not that's got to be the saddest statement on the matter of popular entertainment or music at the moment. [/QUOT
