well , but "bad" is for some other people maybe something completly different than for you . I mean , someone can have Burn It Down as theire favorite LP song , that make it not better than other songs , but also not worse. Just opinions.
It's all a matter of opinion, yes, but I consider the solos to be bad. He considers them to be good, when compared to What I've Done. In my eyes, comparing a specific solo to a worse one doesn't make it automatically great. Things shouldn't be compared the worst to make them look better, they should be compared to the best so they can be the best that they can possibly be.
But how do you want to compare to something "the best" if other think its "the worst". It just work from a neutral point , if i understand it right. I mean , i could hate "Stairway To Heaven" and Love Brads new WID Solo (also if this compareasion makes no fucking sense). Well , i should work on my english to discuss these things. But i can see your point.
