Exactly. One artist said "They hate you if you change, and they hate you if
you
stay the same." I think it was Eddie van Halen that said that.

A lot of terms like that have lost meaning. BTW, can anyone define
alternative?
r's
.
A lot of drummers have that problem.
I don't know about country, but I heard Hetfield was really heavy into
Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, and Aerosmith. Kirk Hammett shows alot of
Hendrix influence. BTW, that wasn't a steel in "Mama Said". That was a guita
r
w/ a B-string bender. I saw the tab in Wolf Marshall's Guitar One.

"Call of the Ktulu" or something like that? I mean, Skynyrd didn't try to
repeat "Freebird".  If a band didn't change, it would just be the same old
