Just catching up to these last several pages of bickering and I feel like the expected division has happened: People who think that busy guitar work is soulless wankery and people who don't.
I think most virtuoso play is soulless, but generally, I like detailed music and skilled performers. Most minimalistic guitar rock is the definition of dull to me. If applied well, great guitar playing skills can be lead to great guitar solos. Meagre guitar playing skills usually just leads to bad indie rock.
