What happens when the music you love gets labeled “grandpa rock”? Shane Hewitt leads a fun, feisty conversation on National Electric Guitar Day, asking what makes a guitar riff timeless — and who gets to decide when it becomes “old.”

With riffs flying in from listeners across Canada, this episode blends memory, melody, and generational shifts. Shane and Ryan wrestle with the idea that Nickelback could be “classic rock,” that Creed might someday be respected, and that Sabrina Carpenter could be someone’s legacy act.

Celebrate the guitar, mock the labels, and reflect on how music moves across time.
