re: Trey's guitar tone > Barber's guitar tone

I should add another major point of difference:

Back in the day, I could spot a kid with a grateful dead shirt on, and I could start talking to him about the Beatniks, Clockwork Orange, Terence McKenna, Miles Davis, and various sub-cultural touchstones. The kids these days don't have a freaking clue. I'll think they're cool countercultural kids who have some knowledge about the world, and they're all like, "Hey bro, got some molly?"

Maybe I'm just living in a nostalgic delusion, but I swear we were smarter than these kids.
