What if Hendrix just could have only lived period. I would love to have seen
his reaction to some of the great players he helped spawn. That guy was
one cool son of a gun too, the type of guy who enjoys things and recognizes beauty
in all its forms. All hail Jimi, he's a God.Last edited by atomic charvel guy; 03-22-2011, 02:16 PM.Not helping the situation since 1965! -

I can't think of a single famous player who changed from playing exclusively Fenders to playing exclusively Jackson/Charvels._________________________________________________

Actually, Floyd would have had it written into the Kramer deal where Hendrix gets loose units whenever he wants. Getting Fender to install them, however, might have been a different story.
And while Jimi may have liked to see all the people he influenced, it's doubtful the public and critics at the time would. Trower was slammed when he first came out with his power trio for ripping off Hendrix. Today we hail him as a hero, as with a lot of the players who took Randy's ideas and ran with them. Back then, they were considered to be jumping on someone else's bandwagon.Last edited by Newc; 03-23-2011, 03:48 PM.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Blind Melon Endrik from Estonia was the first to dish out the bluesOriginally posted by Shawn Lutz View Post
and show the Robert Johnsons of the world how it was done. the guy never, ever gets
the credit, and it pisses me off. Motherfucker from Estonia set the whole delta blues world on fire and never got so much as a tip of the hat.Not helping the situation since 1965!Comment

Exactly..in that very order!Originally posted by Shawn Lutz View Post
I would say Jimi, Ed and Yngwie..Randy was right there though. But that trinity was most influential! But what about Iommi? He tuned down so he can play with his nubs. That was the most fortunate horrible accident in guitar history!!!
IMO..These days Jeff Loomis is inspiring a generation of young 6-7 string shredders! Way more than other 7 stringers including Vai. Vai definitely made his mark..but it could've been bigger if he actually wrote more accesible SONGS that are pleasant to the ear. He's plenty capable ("Ex:For the love of God), but choses to be...um..goofy!"Bill, Smoke a Bowl and Crank Van Halen I, Life is better when I do that"

Couldn't agree more. I saw him live back in 90-something and I wasn't even a huge fan, really went just because I got free tickets and "what the fuck" but he was very impressive, talented, really had it together on stage, good show... Thing is, I could only say I really "liked" about two or three of the songs he did. :dunno:Originally posted by horns666 View PostComment
