I just posted a vid in my forum thread on promotion and not "selling" til you have an actual fan base. Creating the core fan base is really tough. Part of what he's on about here is that very topic. That new bands without a fan base get hosed by the labels.

I have to agree with him that I think it's good that folks are playing Solos again and actually practicing

Love his statement on soloing.

While I cannot be a hypocrite, I must admit that a lot of the bands that I've listened to recently don't solo much or have no solo capability but it's great it is coming back.

I like good solos for sure but, there are some styles of music and songs that just don't need one

I mean, I am totally against the idea of playing a solo if it's not needed in a certain context just for playing a solo - wouldn't you agree?

I don't know , when u listen to rock song without solo, there's obviously something missing...it's just like cherry on top of the cake .

What if THAT cake doesn't fit well with cherries?

I can respect that statement. I don't like solos that are forced.

I'd agree there If a song doesn't need a solo don't add one, right? That said, when I hear a song and don't hear a solo, I can't help thinking something was missing. But that's just me. Some folks probably hear the same tune and think it was perfect.
I'd be happy in many cases if the vocalist just stopped singing and the guitars took over. I suspect I'm biased though.

I was just like that until a some years ago, until I started liking to more instruments than just the guitar (I was more than obsessed ) somehow I am more inclined to what you can create in terms of a structure and orchestration rather than playing a solo sometimes.

Yeah, but u can't play solo on another instrument (except guitar), right?

Well, you could play a solo on just about anything I"m guessing I"ve done solos using all kinds of stringed instruments and even using keyboards believe it or not

I'm with ya on that I dig other instruments taking a solo in addition to guitar. Even an Orchestra solo! Banjo Solo, Flute Solo, really any kind of Solo. Some great solos are actually Duets strictly speaking, using two instruments instead of one for harmony. They get really interesting when using two separate instruments to create a harmony/melody line.

For pop songs, they can get by without a solo and most of them do just fine. But for heavy stuff, especially guitar oriented stuff, I am sorta waiting for the solo for most of a given tune. If they never get there, i can't help feeling they stopped short.

True words Todd! Now, I have listened to a lot of material that doesn't feature any solos, but the cornucopia of rhythmic formulas and dynamics in the song makes up for the lack of soloing and judging by the complexity of the riffs, I am certain that the dudes in those bands can solo without any trouble - of course not the Guthrie type of solo but just solo - ah, darn, you know what I mean
