Happy Birth DAYYYY JIMIIII HENDRIXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

@2Luke Get the fuck out.

When people think of Hendrix, they think "Greatest Guitarist Ever," and rightly so. But as a songwriter, he was great, something that isn't often acknowledged. And that's what Jimi REALLY wanted to be known for. The Guitar God thing had run its course, and Jimi, inspired by Dylan, really wanted to be known for his songwriting. God bless his soul. . . there will never be another one like Hendrix.

i love metal and know a lot of extreamly great gutarisest.... well... he just fucks the world lol... i mean i listen to his songs and i get the awsome feeling and want to play the song my self... hes great player even for his time. hed still be great ...

Absolutely burning solos at this show

dam i wish i was that high :(

of course today many guitarists are better than hendrix... but you have to think about "that time"... hendrix was on a league of his own... he invented things man...

So your telling me that many guitarists can play a regular and a lefty guitar both right side up and upside down

ok, who is better than hendrix?

well, thats a really tough question. chuck berry practically invented rock, but it was master hendrix who really transformed it into his own image

and although metal is kick-ass, they owe their very existence to the rock-gods like chuck berry and the late james marshal hendrix.
