jimi hendrix

[internetstalker]

I can think of plenty of guitarists who are just as good if not better than jimi hendrix, and none of them are surrounded by the hubris that he has surrounding him.

name some

I get the impression people say Jimi Hendrix is 'great' or 'the best ever' because that is what lots of other people have said, so it therefore must be true, rather than listening to a wide variety of other musicians and seeing that he really is just one of many, and surrounded by a hubris that he barely deserves.

Some people might

But I am educated and have done exactly this^^ (this listening to a wide variety of other musicians bit)

It's like Les Paul said: It's not about technique, it's about what you have to say.

Hendrix had technique, and something to say.

 

[Dillinger4]

name some

Nah, that would be pointless.

Throw a couple of names out for discussion.

 

[internetstalker]

Hendrix had technique

and them some

 

[internetstalker]

Nah, that would be pointless.

No it wouldn't

It'd be stating your case and carrying on the conversation

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Something to say:

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Nah, that would be pointless.

No, it would be you backing up what you say, so that it doesn't look so much like you're just talking shit.

Other guitarists play the guitar. Only Hendrix makes it sing. Can't remember who said that but it's pretty true.

I wish I did rate his actual songs more though, they always seem really mediocre, it's the guitar work that makes them good

 

[Dillinger4]

Its OK if you think I am talking shit, I don't mind.

But the fact that most people on this thread are acting so precious about Jimi Hendrix only proves that you have put him onto a pedestal that he doesn't really deserve.

I don't have to 'name names' to prove I am right. I don't even care if I am or not.

So far you haven't actually put up any 'evidence' to defend your point

just said Jimi wasn't great because he was overated

C'mon, I need more then that to have a discussion

Now you sound like a three year old.

I know a hundred better guitarists but I'm not gonna say!

 

[internetstalker]

because he knows if he did, probably 99% of them would of been influenced by jimi, thus killing his argument

Ssshhhh!

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

We're being mean.

But honestly, if it's your honest opinion that these other guitarists are better, why wouldn't you reveal their names? It's just a discussion.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

He's gone quiet.

I can guarantee that there are at least half a dozen artists that Dillinger4 will claim as better than Hendrix according to his absurd, try-hard rationale who are in fact considerably shitter.

Grow some balls and slag off a genuine case of Emperor's New Clothes, you clown.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

This is another one that I don't think is as famous, but is incredible. Also, from his opening rap, you can tell he is as whacked out on acid as it's possible to get. But he can still do that with a guitar.

Ha ha ha ha, he left.

 

[Dillinger4]

I didn't.

 

[weltweit]

I checked out some Hendrix CDs on Amazon to make the list of hits I posted earlier in the thread.

I want some Hendrix CDs now.

But got nothing to play them on!

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

I'm listening to some Hendrix, so what next? Dylan, of course. And I find this video: wtf?

 

[strung out]

dylan's shit too
