Well I can say good music is subjective like I had a million times before, but you don't get it, not only is music quality entirely subjective, but judging instrumentalists based on what of you think of their own music dosen't really have anything to do with music at all, just you're own agenda.

I can say Ritchie Blackmore is a bad guitarist because I dislike every band he's ever been in (save Blackmores Night) but I would get my ass kicked, because even I know it's not true. Guitar playing in itself is quite a serious artform much like songwriting is, only songwriting is easier. Trying to link the two together the way you do is pretty narrowminded, for example, with your logic, you probably think Jimmy Page isn't a good guitarist and Isaac Brock is, in which case I would have to strangle you with my bare hanRAB in order to prevent your incredible closed mindedness on the subject of guitar playing from infecting other young impressionable morons who only listen to albums based on the "good word" of Pitchfork.
 
Just curious to see what you guys think

personally in terms of popularity its reaching another climax and will soon fall down again, as always the underground is relatively strong, but i dunno if there will be another golden age like the 80s-mid-90s
 
Metal will just go on & on & on & on.

It`s one of the very few genres that carries on regardless of trenRAB or fashions.

As long as there are 16 year old boys into homoerotic male bonding around guitars there will always be metal.
 
I think Metalcore will still either be there, or made a big impression in how metal is done. Whatever style is big in that 10 years, it will porlly have some metalcore influences.
 
To me when you call someone a good guitarist you are calling them a good musician. And to me being a good musician* there are two parts technical skill and creative writing ability. One all by itself is pure ****. Wanking without coherantcy is pointless and so is good writing with someone messing up every measure.


*not over all just as far as puting out an album. If I were speaking about over all reading and having a good ear would be included but, seeing how you can not hear either of those through a song they arent relevant
 
Technical ability does not have to involve writing at all. Some people can be really good at what they do but cant write for ****. Thats why there are composers and lyricists and arrangers who cant even play an instrument, but they sure are damn good at what they do.
 
The only metalcore worth listening to is Integrity. I think the nuraber of metal genre will keep widening and mix different sounRAB and will continue to have a decent progression.
