Eh, she's not wrong in a sense. Toto emerged in L.A. in the late 70's and they are arguably the best session musicians of all time, along with guys like JR Robinson and Neil Stubenhaus. A lot of mainstream pop and R&B back then had some of the best players on Earth at one point who all contributed to the writing process. That's not as common today cause so many labels like to cut costs and technology is so different today compared to the recording process in the late analog / early digital years. Why pay Steve Lukather or Mike Landau for those sweet riffs when you can just emulate that **** in some DAW.
