middle school?!?! wow u r young! My first rock song was Led Zep "whole lotta love" my dad bought it for me when the album came out in like '78 or '79 i think.i remember listening to "dirty deeds" when it first came out. I was like 14. best song ever...back then. I've been to every Judas Priest concert in Edmonton and every Motley Crue concert as well....only missed "Turbo" because my ride turned in the wrong way into the parking lot and hit a chain across that entrance...so we listened to the concert from outside, while we waited for the tow truck!

You can't forget Van Halen... Eddie Van Halen pretty much single-handedly changed how American guitar players, then guitar players all over the world... view the neck of the guitar... when they released their first album, and guys started listening to the "Eruption" solo... it spawned the entire Big Hair generation...
Ediie gave us the finger-tapping guitar solo, and the whammy bar tricks... it was nothing new to the guitar, jazz guys did finger-tapping in the 1930s... and "whammy bars" were nothing new... there have been tremolo units on guitars almost from the beginning of electricity... but what Eddie did was unique in an era when most guys (Eric Clapton, Ted Nugent, Jimmy Page, etc etc) just picked out lead guitar solos one note at a time, over a 5-note Pentatonic scale... Soon to follow was Randy Rhoads... one bada$$ Mofo on the guitar... he continued the mainstream by adding high-speed classical guitar scales and whammy bar tricks over the raunchy, bada$$ power chords through an extremely hard driven amplifier... mixed with Ozzie's stage presence, it was a smash... and it gave even more momentum to the movement... most of the others may have been developing at time time, but they (mostly) all became clones of either Eddie Van Halen or Randy Rhoads... (IMHO) a lot of guitar virtuosos suddenly emerged, and if I look at the crap they put out of the record companies today, rarely do they have any kind of guitar heros springing up any more... another guy that leaned toward the virtuoso aspect of the era was Yngwie Malmsteen... just simply shred to the bone now with a LOT of classical scales and modes content... but he turned a lot of people off with his ego and his bad public image and attitude... as the music evolved, we got guys like Joe Satriani and Steve Vai... Satriani tapped into the MIDI instruments at the time, and had a lot of rhythm beats that sounded like a drum machine... however it was done live I don't know (never seen him live), but regardless it was repetitive, and driving, with a lot of shred on top, another shredding, finger-tapping, whammy bar noise-making guitar hero emerges... and Steve Vai is just a mad man... LOL... it may be notes... or it may be sound effects... or it may be something totally different... anybody that can transcribe Frank Zappa's music note for note (like Steve Vai did) has got to be a little out there... and very talented with a good set of ears... and let's not forget the Scorpions... one of my favorite metal bands of all time... from Hanover, Germany... this is significant, because if "The Beatles" had a "British Invasion" in the 1960s... the American heavy metal music has encircled the globe several times with a power wave and a power chord... ripping lead solos, and screaming vocals... and had it never made it out of some guy's basement jam, we'd never have a band like the Scorpions, and other non-American heavy metal bands... its kind of a reciprocal thing... Led Zeppelin is considered to be one of the grandfathers of metal... but then they were a British band... and Jimmy Page didn't play with a finger-tapping style or whammy bar tricks... and as amazing of a guitarist that he was, he did everything he ever did out of a blues-based 5-note Pentatonic scale... a genius of his era maybe its just the fact that when given a choice, people like to rock... and it doesn't matter what color is their skin, or behind which imaginary geographical boundary they were born... Rock and Roll will never die.... howbeit today, in the "new" groups that are popping up... it seems to have become rather watered down and whimpy... where are the guitar heros of today? this is my opinion of why the record companies are whining about the file sharing stuff cutting into their mix... because they got so used to just throwing a microphone in front of some easily manipulated child that can sing as they (the record companies) demand... we need the rock and roll rebels back in town... give us some of those hellraising, guitar terrorizing folks... and record sales will get back to normal... keep shoveling non-talented punks at the world, and the coal-fire generator of opinion is going to lose its flame, and the record companies could go belly up... and the file sharing folks WILL kick their a$$es... the can't beat the draw of a monster guitar player, tons of energy, and one helluva good time to be had at a LIVE performance... even if there were no record companies... LIVE music will still live on... and so will the human fascination of watching some dude play the hell out of a guitar... bass... drums... and sing like a banshee.... :-)
