Reply #31: It's all cool, I suppose it might be a good exercise for everybody to try and defend

music they DON'T like every now and then!

I can't help it--I like listening to, and playiing fast guitar, and from this side of the argument there is never a shortage of people to point out the technique /= talent, who can be a tad pompous about it.

And in all honesty, I know that is a two way street. There are plenty of shred guitar fans who will dismiss anything without a lot 32nds and pinch harmonics in it--usually in juvenille, and often profane terms!

As they say, I guess it depends on which ox is getting gored.
