The problem is there is a huge number of very technical guitarists out there, who can play some amazingly technical shit, but they just sit there and have no presence. It sounds great but it can get boring to watch sometimes. I recently watched an interview with Nuno Bettencourt and he brought this up because people went nuts about a solo he did in a new song when t he video was released. He said he couldn't understand why people thought so highly of it until it dawned on him that people are getting tired of watching talented guitarists just sitting in front of a camera playing technical stuff. He said he thinks people are starting to crave rock style performances again. I watch a lot of guitarist stream live on Twitch and, even though they are all really talented, there only a handful I can watch all day. There's this guy (screenshot below) who nails every Joe Satriani song he plays, but he looks bored when he plays. :ROFLMAO:

That's just it, to a guitar player in that time era, it was like, how the fuck does he do that? It blew us away when we first heard him.
There wasn't the internet to watch a slowed down, close up video of actual playing the tablature. You watched other musicians, you played by ear and learned by ear.
Thank God for Sony reel to reels and later the dual "cassette deck".
BOSS 4 track recorder was a priority.
You had you're own little recording studio.
There was a concert(have it on cassette) where a bunch of hard rock band's lead guitarists got together.
Pretty much was 3 chord (Am, F, G) lead run from everyone.
It was great!
Sorry, "Memory Lane" again.
Yngwie opened up a "classical doorway" to unlimited directions for guitar players.
I agree, musicians began seeing how many notes they could get in a run and it did get old.
And a lot of it sounded like shit.
There's still nothing like the old rock leads.
Even today, you can't beat a David Gilmour lead run.

All I know is when I first heard YM on Rising Force I had a real similar listening experience kinda like I do when I listen to that drummer who can play some of the hardest metal songs one handed. I honestly think they both might be aliens. But I totally can see why YM is kinda of a 1 trick pony in some people's eyes... Pull to 109,:10 and you can tell he has a bit of trouble playing slow.

THEN WHERE'S MY FLYING CAR?!

I seriously did design studies for flying cars when I was in college. That was 35 years ago...

At some point they realised that the average peasants like us would also be flying in our cars - and warning labels and modern medicine have kept us from thinning the herd for a century or so ;)

Think Idiocracy - with flying cars.

It's easier to automate flying cars than it is to automate automobiles; there's a lot less to hit.

I don't think there's any great conspiracy keep flying cars grounded, it's simple physics; ICE engines are not really reliable enough, turbines suck too much fuel and can't adjust their thrust fast enough and while electric motors fit the spec nearly perfectly, today's batteries just aren't yet up to the task if giving them useful range.

I think the biggest issue is it would be impossible to manage all the vehicles in the air. ATC has enough issues managing all the personal and commercial aircraft, as it is, and adding hundreds of thousands of morons to the mix in flying cars would be a disaster.
