Hi
What do we think of Jimi Hendrix then?
Because I bought Experience Hendrix-The Best Of Jimi Hendrix
My favourite tracks are:
Purple Haze
The Wind Cries Mary
Crosstown Traffic
he's a good guitar player, and a decent song writer. i'd prefer him over any POPULAR new artist, however i truly think Brian May was a better guitarist then Hendrix. I do have Are You Experienced? and i'm fond of it... but i wouldn't consider Jimi Hendriz my favorite by a long shot.
While respecting others' opinions, I loathe Hendrix. Terrible voice. Uninteresting songwriting. Great guitar playing. If his vocal melodies were as interesting as the double-stop guitar riffs he created, he would've been fabulous.
Two greatest guitarists in my mind are Page and May. Hendrix doesn't even approach them. And I now await the barrage of posts telling me how rediculous this is.......

I'm still waiting to buy his Woodstock DVD.
BRILLIANT.
The best guitar player ever, in my opinion.

Even though a lot of what you say is complete SHITE!!!!!!!! Your(amazingly)right.....Could Cabbage be(finally)making sense? A MIRCLE...If it ever happened.....
You hurt me again, cabbage.
But i forgive you, again.
Now, MY Brian is much better than your Jimi because
1His guitar is amazing, and he plays it well also
2He doesnt destroy his guitars, hes had his for a very long time
3Hes just the best, very good voice and much better looking!!
Now cabbage its your turn you tell me why your Jimi is better
Oh andddd...Brian #1! Brian #1! Brian#! Brian#1! Brian#1!

omg, Jimi is cute too. Both are good guitar players, but I don't know much about it to say who's best.
What a ridiculous thread.
I honestly think Jimi Hendrix had more of an impact that Brian May. I won't comment on who's better because I honestly can't choose for myself. Jimi had this incredible feel with all that blues stuff he played, Brian May had a heck of a way with making stuff sound classical almost.
And let it be known, that Brian May wasn't the first person to do guitar overdubs the way he did - pick up the Jimi Hendrix band of gypsys DVD and you'll see what I mean.
Honestly, I don't see any point in saying 'BRAIN MAY IS BETTER COZ HE LOOKS BETTER LOL' like that simpleton a few posts above mine did... can't you argue on something a little more valuable than his looks?

Jimi was able to become a legend with only 4 years of his career. I wonder would brian be a legend if his career ended after BoRhap.I don't think so. Jimi is true guitar legend.
