That is some horrible music right there.

I like Hendrix's voice though.

When the bass player and drummer are in left field and drooling, it makes it tough to play let alone solo. As uninspired and terrible as this clip is, there are some crazy almost Gibbon-esque tones coming from the guitar. Pretty cool on that end at least.

The greatest electric guitar player is a skinny man from Missoula. Hendrix is but a footnote in the annals of pop culture.

Neither of the two. Not even close!

This kind of bollocks is what makes browsing the internet sorely depressing.

I don't know about greatest, but a case can be made that Hendrix was the most influential rock guitarist.

Dana Carvey?

What, you mean like "crap/not crap"?

I think this video is better than that in the original post:

I happen to like Hendrix and his music, same for Jimmy Page but in a thunderdome of guitar players, Hendrix always wins for me.

I'm not one of those guitar wank guys but Hendrix is really amazing and I never grow tired of watching him 'jam.'

His guitar playing skills are the most impressive I've seen of any of the big guitar rock gods. There is probably some obscure guy or another lesser known rock guitar figure that was 'better' but Hendrix is the most impressive I've seen or heard. Certainly all of the Rock gods from Britian in the sixties thought so; all the stories of Townsend, Clapton and Beck running scared at the thought of sharing a bill with Hendrix are pretty funny.

No. Bollocks. This guitarist vs. that guitarist reads like "i don't get this music thing".

The Voodoo Chile from that same performance is great too.


I like to watch white people suck the life out of this song.

colored in my own style

All that stuff and it still sounds like Dokken

Play it, whitey!

Yeah, but Bryan Ramirez isn't all that skinny these days.
