Best use for a Strat IMO....

Something about Firebirds. You can't not look cool while playing one.

Sums up the period well...

Stupid videos shot on mega-bucks budgets in that warm orange glow. Plonker who thinks its cool to have boots outside his (dirty) denim jeans, who can't put his hankerchief away in his pocket properly, and who's forgotten his shirt - a pot belly sitting on top of your burst isn't "cool". Guitar as an extension of penis - and not plugged into anything, nor anything resembling an amp anywhere on the horizon. Hair blowing whistfully in the breeze, but in reality would mean that the sand from that desert he's standing in would go in his eyes - much like the shock of hair. The resultant sand storm would strip the nitro from that Les Paul too. Ridiculous song, that meandered along as only a pop-rock ballad can until the "big solo" that was supposed to show the emotional side of the band... as opposed to their cocaine snorting, girl chasing, heavy drinking macho chest beating.

To me, that doesn't sum up Rock n Roll - it sums up everything that went *wrong* with Rock n Roll and was cleansed by Cobain and all that came after.

But hey - we all like different things. :-)

Haha I know what you mean and agree with a lot of it. I can't help but love a bit of meaningless cheese every now and then though and Slash was a big inspiration to me when I was first learning. And at least they were better (well, AFD was) than the majority of the hair metal bands who were just pop bands with guitars.
