To call Shin a genius is probably an understatement. He pretty much founded Korean Rock, single handedly. It's something you can't even say about Elvis or the Beatles. For Beatles, there were the Stones, the Who, Zeppelin or others, who could be compared, or even excelled in certain aspects. In Shin's case I don't think there's anyone you can even begin to compare with him.
He's towers tall and no one else is in sight - a genius unseen so far and probably will never be.
I cannot express my respect to Shin Jung-Hyun enough. He is definitely a genius who created something (Korean Rock) from nothing; needless to say, there was no tradition of a kind of music called Rock at all in Korea.
At least for me, he is the all-time NUMBER 1 figure in the history of Korean Pop Music. (BTW, the second is another great man, Cho Yong-Phil. ^^;;;)
펜더가 뭔가 했더니, 그 회사 기타 정말 비싸네요. 후덜덜합니다.
글고 펜더가 헌정한 기타리스트는 전세계 6명인데,
신중현 선생님은 아시아인으로서는 최초라네요.
제프 벡, 에릭크렙튼, 반 헤일런, 잉리 맘스틴, 스티비 레이븐
그리고
신중현 선생님.
