I remember when I was in college in the early 90s, my roommate was a lead singer in a hair-metal type band. This was in the era when hair metal was becoming passe...and Grunge had moved in to replace it in the popular music scene...but my roommate was still into that Warrant/White Lion/Winger band thing and his lead guitarist was this Yngwie Malmsteen clone... the kid could play but he was all chops and technique...
Anyway "Heartbreaker" was on the radio in our apt. once, and Chris my roommate goes "man...listen to that crap, that is total shi- who would put such a sloppy solo on a record....the guy plays like he has 2 mittens on"
After we graduated I saw him 4 or 5 years later as I was producing a demo for his band in the studio where I was working. He was now into grunge...and loved Zeppelin and thought that Page was GOD songwriter and played with a ton of soul.
so opinion is a matter of perspective & experience sometime...
