Well, the thing is that most musicians today think much differently than the way they thought years ago. It seems as if instant success is more important than longevity. The guitar, this instrument will always be around because of the endless possibilities, and there is always many undiscovered levels of creativity for many musicians all over the globe. But it seems as if most musicians are tired of exploring their many options with this instrument, because of he nagging sence that its all been done ten times over.

With Radiohead, they managed to release two records that strayed from guitar rock, and they got away with it, because this was merely an honest expression of their creativity, and how they felt they wanted to represent themselves. Something that is greatly appreciated for millions of fans, including myself. But this is something that worked for them, and its not something that will necessarily work for others. And thats the problem, its easy to imagine yourself doing something similiar (or very much alike) to what someone elses has already done, but it takes much more courage to search within yourself for answers, creating your own very personal statement. Everytime something new and exciting comes across to the public, the excitement doesn't last very long, because there are always millions of copy cats. So perhps for a lot of musicians they are trying to find new ways to express their undying creativity, new ways that others would never try in a millions years.

Either way, music goes in cycles, and our tastes change as if theres no tomorrow.
