I've heard the Japanese are tone deaf, yer know, just like Aboriginals can't handle their alcohol and some white Irish/Scots can't handle their wheat, yer know, on genetic grounds.
Stick Country and Clapton up your arses!(sounds like a euphemism for jizz)
And Brad Whitford recently said in a Guitarist interview: "Since the first time I heard Jimi Hendrix and right up until today, he's has been an important influence on me - on all of us."
And Joe Bonamassa recently said "I don't think there's any music that you hear on the radio today that would be possible without Jimi Hendrix. Rock, blues-rock, heavy metal, any guitar stuff when you get right down to it - Jimi did it. He's certainly the guy who basically invented the blues-rock genre for guitar players.
"True, you could argue that Eric Clapton did it, and I love Eric Clapton like crazy, but Hendrix took it to the masses in a way that was unprecedented. And if you're a Fender guy, Jimi's your man.
"The one area where I'll say that Hendrix is underrated was his ability to use chord melodies. He used different inversions of chords and was able to make a three-piece band sound absolutely huge. From the moment Hendrix and the Experience came on the scene, power trios had their work cut out for them."
And Townsend said: "The thing that really stunned Eric and me was the way he took what we did and made it better. And I really started to try to play. I thought I'd never, ever be as great as he is but there's certainly no reason now why I shouldn't try. In fact I remember saying to Eric, I'm going to play him off the stage one day. But what Eric did was even more peculiar, he said, Well, I'm going to pretend that I am Jimi Hendrix!"
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
It's quite perplexing that you have got to such an age and still haven't figured out that rating musicians as better than each other is entirely subjective.
Did you mean "Yeah let's not facts get in the way that there were players that I personally think were better than Hendrix."? In which case that's the start and the end of the thread right there. Even then it's confusing because you state you opinion then call it a fact. In reality you posed a question to which no contrary answer was going to be acceptable.
It's a bit like rocking up in the middle of a Maasai tribe and asking "How the hell can you drink those cow blood milkshakes?". Then whatever the response saying "Well I think it's gross! Much prefer a bit of black pudding, myself!".
How is this fact determined? It might help everyone here if they knew what scale of measurement you were using so we could all reference the same one. Also it would stop all these silly debates once and for all if others were more aware of the scientific scale used in the measurement musical talent.
Cool. So we know that influence and popularity aren't factor in this scale.Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
