i can understand where everyones coming from, but i think people might be just reading into his statements a bit too much.
Then again, its almost a lose-lose situation for these guys. When someone is honest like Dereck May and outright says that he doesnt like any of the new stuff, people will hate on him. Then when Saunderson says he doesnt pay too much attention to all the new artists out there, he is accused of being dishonest. I guess the only thing left for them to say is "Great! We love everyone and everything!"
Whats the point of even asking for their opinion if everyones just gonna disect it?
