Looks like I picked his identitical twin.

brain flash:

was at doctors/medical clinic about 3 months ago with GF and daughter when one of the doctors grabbed the next form from the pile and called out "Jimi Hendrix". We started laughing. So did a few others. I though someone came in and put it down as a joke bu as I realised you have to provide your medicare care card to get in the waiting list a guy jumped up and followed the doc into his office.

Most likely changed his name by deed poll.

Where is the Ricky Ponting option?

 

[The Iron Sock]

John Petrucci
or Dimebag.

I Can totally realise what jimi has done and his ability but those two are SO much better and consistently good on all there songs.

With that statement it's blatantly obvious that you don't realise what Jimi has done.

To make matters worse i think Iron Sock is fair dinkum.

 

[cats56]

Hey bunsen which option is Jimi playing with his teeth or behind his back?

 

[The Iron Sock]

I'm serious.
I own most of Jimi's stuff and i play guitar myself and as a GUITARIST he is not as good as the two i mentioned particulary Petrucci, although he is very good. I feel he is overated as a guitarist because he such a well known figure and breakthrough musician.

Whenever you think "guitarist" you think of Hendrix and just because of that fact don't automaticlly assume he is the best, He may have been one of the first and certinly the best of his time but with death things can seem greater than they were.

If he didn't die i doubt his work would be held in the same regard as it is.

just my opinion

Just because someone else's music is harder to cover doesn't necessarily equate to them being better. Hendrix is Bradman. That's why you never seen them in the same room together.

you claim I can't post on a music thread and than go on to say Berry played out of tune?

 

[mark73]

I didn't "claim" any such thing and yes he regularly played out oif tune.Why do you think his band used to secretly tune his guitar when his back was turned...

Something wrong with your ears mate???....
