I just saw this even though it's a little old. I don't care for those showy guitarists who are only there to serve their egos and show off how fast their fingers are and "impress" the audience with a pointless solo. It's not about that at all for me. guitar that serves its purpose in a song works much better for my ears than any Jimmy Page or Hendrix solo or ones like that. ANd moving with the times and incorporating the then new electronic wave is something to be admired while some others kind of pretentiously stuck back with their classic rock guitar which is just the same ol'.
