re: Is the lack of new, catchy guitar riffs to blame for the gradual death of rock?

When is the last time you heard a hard rock song as addictive as "Shoot To Thrill"?

We're not going to include Dimebag in this discussion because he's an 80's style lead player.


The early Pantera era means nothing. By the time Cowboys From Hell came out he was way beyond that.
He was demonstrably not what you claim he was.

If the OP (or anyone else) is looking for great riff rock, look right HERE.

Dimebag is one of my all time favorite players. I didnt want to include him in that discussion because we can talk a long time about just him. Cowboys From Hell has ALOT of groove influence on it. Ive always thought that while he was an incredible lead player, the true strength of his playing was his rhythm writing and how technical his right hand was. He was and always will be an 80's style lead player that was heavily influenced by basic blues and played a hybrid style of classical scales and blues scales. He was a more technical and less sloppy player than Randy Rhoads but very very similar to him.
