But I never said that you should or shouldnt, I simply gave my own oppinion, which is: if you like a band, and all of a sudden they stop playing solos, then it would be gay to just not like them anymore just because of the solos. To me it's like saying "i only listen to nevermore because loomis can solo really well" if thats the case, then it seems like you only listen to music for the guitar tracks or the solos which is really bland, theres more to music than just a good guitar player.
im recognizing the fact that Nevermore is a good band... Everyone is very good at what they do and they play together well. Loomis writes good guitar tracks, even if he cut out his solo's it's still good stuff.
