Why does it seem like a lot of you don't have an opinion of your own and just copied an article out of Guitar World? The same names keep cropping up. It doesn't matter how good you can tap or shred or play scales if the bands you're in suck or if your music is soulless, generic, and completely based on technical proficiency.
