There would never have been an Eddie Van Halen had Jimi not pioneered the style and sound of modern rock guitar. Eddie himself would be the first to tell you that.

You may not like them, but to say they suck is to discount great talent.

So will someone post his 36th death anniversary?

Rememberence is to be taken every single day, not just when the time rolls around a nice multiple of 5 years.

play some Jimi today!!

if you lack some Jimi... i can provide a sweet Gypsy Eyes recorded in Jimi's apartment '68


I agree. He was also a improvisational master yet to be equaled. Hendrix played in color. Everybody else plays in black and white. Amazing how well his material has held up over the years. Much of it still sounds vibrant.

cannot believe no one mentioned Clapton.

<---- :heart: Clapton.

Not a huge Hendrix fan, but can appreciate that he was talented.

True, great talents here, but if I could play the guitar I'd do it like Robin Trower. :beer:
