I keep reading that Jack White is an incredible guitar player. Although I apprciate his recklessness as a player, I see him as being on paar with Pete Townsend as an axe-man.
Are there any guitarists, bassists, drummers or keyboardists in rock under the age of 30 who stand out today? I never hear of any.
Is rock dead?

Right now, music is being made that is incredibly original and challenging. The majority of people just never hear it because they don't seek it out.
Bands like Deerhoof, Animal Collective, Ex-Models, Lightning Bolt, Wolf Eyes, and so many more rival the likes of The Fall and The Residents for sheer originality.

In fact a lot of the power metal bands have above average, to well above average guitar players.
And to the original poster, Just cause these people aren't on MTV or VH1 or Fuse, doesn't mean that they are not out there.
Or there is that one kid from some where in Asia that does that classical piece on guitar.... I'm sure if you searched YouTube, you could find it.

I could list off a bunch of popstars and faggoty MTV bands but then I would just be lying.
However, since you're online, do you know any acoustic bands of late which are worth downloading? I need some new music.
