Frankly, I'm with iceman on this one. Why must we compare? Each had their own flavor. Another similarly silly debate is John Bonham vs. Keith Moon. They're both amazing drummers, and very different. It's funny how rock lovers get into these debates. I blame Rolling Stone; their top 10/100/500 lists are silly. I mean, Eddie Van Halen was once ranked #1. Come on, get real.
People get all silly over music. I'm guilty of this myself. But think about it. Almost every musician is influenced by other musicians. It's art, that's how art works. You hear or see something and then it gives you an idea. Your idea may actually be quite original in the end, but that key piece of prior art still influenced your thought process. That's why there's really no true definition for Blues, Rock, Jazz, Classical, etc. People have their own takes on music and thus can pave their own course. The only reason we should label it is to make it easy to find in a record store or to dig up in iTunes."I knew in an instant that the three dollars I had spent on wine would not go to waste."

Everybody likes 1 thing more than another. Throw in 2 stubborn dudes both passionate about music and a bunch of Coors Light and you've got yourself a debate.You know, there's like a butt-load of gangs at this school. This one gang kept wanting me to join because I'm pretty good with a bowstaff.

[QUOTE=skifishbum] In Step was a killer final album for a little dude who wailed a big guitar.
I believe Family style with Brother Jimmy was his last album.
That song contains everything.It's fast -slow, hot-cool,light-heavy, raw -polished,sweet -spicey.
He was a world class guitarist,but IMHO,I think others have written better music.Last edited by freshie247; 05-13-2005 at 06:04 PM.

13th row, first show, but that was one of 5.
NEVER PASS JUDGEMENT UPON THE PLAYING OF JIMI HENDRIX UNTIL YOU HAVE SEEN HIM LIVE
(it was all about volume and feedback)
and if you want to hear SRV get beat, listen to the duo he did in the Pipeline with Dick Dale. Now that's a white man with a different kind of soul.

Seriously though. Is there really a best ever? I was talking to my uncle several years ago about this. He brought up some good points: what if there's someone or something out there which you've never seen before, or what if "the best" hasn't been born or created yet. Just my 2 cents though. Debate is fun. Which is why "I may not always be right, but I'm never wrong.""I knew in an instant that the three dollars I had spent on wine would not go to waste."

Funny sidenote: the last RS "best guitarists of all time ever" list ranked jack white as # 17. I'm speechless.You know, there's like a butt-load of gangs at this school. This one gang kept wanting me to join because I'm pretty good with a bowstaff.

Masturbation? Only a wanker would think so.
As for SRV vs. Jimi, or EC vs. Jimi, I think both of those guys admitted to where they fell in the pantheon.[quote][//quote]

That said, it is really nice after a hard day of manual labor. Especially if you have to drive home too.
As for my favorite guitarist, it's Mick Taylor. I wouldn't say he's the best ever, but he's definitely brilliant. Best of all, he's still kicking ass...unlike some of his former bandmates.
On the semi-random front, high marks go to Nick McCabe of the Verve."I knew in an instant that the three dollars I had spent on wine would not go to waste."

And for those that don't "get" Jimi:

Yeah, I'll have to check, but I know there had been plans for Miles and Jimi to record together, but I don't think anything had ever been set. I sort of got the impression that it might've just been something Jimi was into and Miles made more of it after Jimi's death than there really was to it. But I'm pretty sure there had been talk on both sides of that happening. Would've been very, very interesting. Jimi on another planet, Miles thinking all planets orbit his own star.

Yeah, the Miles thing was obviously in the works. Miles must have felt shattered. Armstrong goes, Jimi, and then he gets sick.
The Charles Murray book is great. Explains the history of American music, which is, of course, African, and ruled by spirits other than Christ. Great argument as to how Jimi was the logical mutation.
Oh, and check the cover. Gibson Flying V. Jimi liked it better than the Strat half the time.Last edited by Benny Profane; 05-13-2005 at 10:07 PM.
