Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By webtaz99: Jimi said that to him, music was a beautiful woman he wanted make love to forever. On a similar note...remember when Lilli Von Shtupp asked the new sheriff of Rock Ridge whether it was true about the way his people were "gifted"? Well, Jimi was one of almost 50 other rock stars who let a groupie nicknamed "Cynthia the Plaster Maker" make a true-to-life plastic cast of his, um, gift when he was 25 years old. Cynthia died at 74, reportedly with a smile on her face, cause... Oh, it's twue, it's twue! Look it up if you don't believe. |

People who weren't there to see Hendrix in the era rarely have a clue how influencial he was to the entire world of guitar players. He changed guitar playing forever. |

SRV would have bowed to Hendrix like everyone else at the time.
No one before or since has even approached the Hendrix combo of skill, creativity, on stage showmanship, and innocence. Mentally he was a borderline savant. Physically a Strat looked like a toy in his hands. Like Albert "pie-plate-hands" King (who played left handed, right hand strung), Hendrix bent his strings all the way across the neck of his guitar. You kids, I swear. All hands, all soul, all talent

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By APBullet: yeah he was good if you dig his sound, but there are others who were good like Eddie Vanhalen, Frampton, Slash. It's all about the timing. Without someone leading the way you have to invent. Jimi was first and led the way to the guitar being the featured solo instrument. Frampton was just a few years later and Jimi influenced Frampton. Eddie was a decade later and took Jimis's start to the next level but in a pop rock style. Eddie said he didn't get into Jimi because he was more abstract in his approach. Finally, Slash was two decades later and lists both Eddie and Jimi as influences. The key is Jimi forged a new approach to the instrument that until that time had not been heard. There were others at that time as well (Jimmy, Eric, Jeff, & Pete) but again they were all different in their approach which is what makes the music of that era so interesting. |

Dark side of the moon was a best seller on the charts for like 12 years And only one song made the Top 40, Money. Probably didn't even break into the top 10. By and large the Top 40 is irrelevant garbage, commercial trash with no staying power. Utter rubbish foist upon us by Corporate. The same fuckwads who gave us Bruce Jenner. If a song was Top 40, you are probably well served by taking a razor blade to that particular section of vinyl. By and large, I think you'll be left with a better album. Album sales matter. Yes, absolutely. More so today, current sales of long past albums, I will argue. But, album sales are only one part of the equation, an equation dominated by fuckwads telling us what we should like. Back in the 1970s, my parents thought the Bee Gees were good music. The Bee Gees. If the Soviets wanted to nuke us for that, yeah, I can sort of fucking understand. |

Hendrix redefined electric rock guitar and shaped it into what we know today. Period.

I remember talking with Reb Beach once in the early 90's and Hendrix came up in conversation. He was laughing about all the shit he got from people after an interview he did in one of the guitar rags. The interviewer asked him what he thought about Jimi Hendrix and Reb answered " I think he should have learned how to tune his guitar". He said it was meant as a joke because Jimi could hear when his strings got out of tune while he was playing and he could bend them in tune without much effort as he played so he didn't sound like he was out of tune. If you were a guitar player and knew anything about Jimi Hendrix you got the joke. Unfortunately most didn't get it and took it as a diss on Jimi's abilities.

They very proudly and notably included Jimi Hendrix. There was a music shop in Clarksville, TN, Collins Music Store. They had a large book and had anybody whoever bought something from them sign the book. I signed on the same page as James Marshall Hendrix. |
