Well thanks for answering, I think that we all share the same opinion AND if you play a long solo, would people still like it?
I was never really able to play solo's on my guitar. People told me that my style was more "lead guitar, whatever this means" I used to play a song, recognised quit fast by an audience, and I played more a kind of rhythm, but not really as a quiet player. I added always something, licks, riffs
and important for me, they had to realise what song I played. Well this can be an interesting topic, the style you play. About the XXL solos: they still exist, seeing and hearing the G3, about 3 years ago, Satriani, Vai, and in particular Malmsteen. He plays Beethoven and more classic composers as if it was nothing, but he started at 5 years, with classical music. I would like to know if the public, today, would be bored or enthusiast. but I think it was fantastic to see bands playing solos, but even at that time, too much was too much. Marc Bolan, playing almost 30 minutes Get It On, great to see and hear, they just couldn't stop.
