LMMFAO
It's so true. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It IS true, to an extent. You could say the same about speed and thrash and all other metal genres though, substituting
meth, cocaine and Jagermeister for hallucinogenic drugs.

Re: Marty Friedman - 20 Questions on Metal Sludge

Don't get me wrong, I love Marty's playing, but he has no sense of history in rock. Hendrix innovated the whammy and feedback techniques that are a huge
part of the metal guitar vocabulary. Without him, you wouldn't have EVH as we know him, or the need to invent the Floyd Rose tremelo. He was pivotal in that regard. Also, without Hendrix, you have no Uli Roth, which means no Yngwie. See
some ramifications there?

Now compare that to Marty Friedman. He's
great, but take him out of the picture and I don't see the history of metal much different. Jason would've done Cacophony with another shredder, and THAT guy would
have joined Megadeth. Heck, it could've
been Vinnie Moore; same hair! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

What Chris said. I almost stopped reading there and then. Bah! Overall a good read though.

Indeed, the model T didn't do 150+ mph off the production line as some cars manufactured today are capable of...they got there because everybody else began borrowing and refining the concepts.

Hendrix played a big influence on SRV and Frank Marino as well. I sometimes preferred Marino's versions of Jimi's stuff as it was more polished. Granted Jimi was usually so high that his playing probably suffered from his best, and as with most of 60's stuff the technology isn't there for production. Some of this stuff is pretty raw and off the cuff jamming. Still doesn't diminish that the guy was huge innovator of modern rock guitar and his style influenced the groundwork for rock players and even hit songs for decades to follow. (Listen to Journeys "Lights" isn't that a very Hendrix influenced intro?)
I look back on Blackmore and I cannot help but think he wanted to take over the King of the Strat scepter after Hendrix died..but by then the competition had hit the ground runnin.

There will only be one Jimi who started it.

Re: Marty Friedman - 20 Questions on Metal Sludge

jimi is a god. his tunes are beautiful, his voice was cooler than a cucumber, and his playing is so far ahead of his time. marty friedman is an incredible guitarist, but jimi
flat out roasts his ass when you look at the whole package. charvel guy, i think blackmore was eddie's biggest influence.
