He was only 27 years old, and his stint as a superstar lasted less than five years, but he obviously made his indelible mark — being declared by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as “arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music” and by Rolling Stone as the greatest guitarist of all time. Quoting: thetrickybigguy And one of the first mainstream rock acts to recognize Hendrix’s greatness was the Monkees.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 79395759 United States09/19/2020 07:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I still think if this guy lived, Rap would never have been invented... Quoting: COVID19 Blacks would have bought guitars and started rock bands... The reason rap did happen is because black kids were not given instruments to play in school and their parents did not buy them instruments. They were poor and to poor people, music is fluff. All they had was a turn table, so they turned that into an instrument. I've heard black kids on the streets of NYC playing drums on plastic buckets with more talent in their little finger than I have in my whole body, and I'm a professional musician who started in cello in school. I remember the kids on the streets in Washington Square Park rapping and break dancing. It was an exciting movement. NYC was broke in the 70's so there were no programs to get instruments into the hands of the poor. The Panthers were trying to enrich the black communities but that got broken up by the FBI. They killed Jimi because he was anti war. The 70's was full of horrible music, since the cia killed off or scared off (Dylan) anyone writing anything that had any kind of conscience to the lyrics. The good lyrics moved over to rap music. Then that got hacked and all they sing about is ho's and bling. I'm so fortunate to have been a teen ager in the 60's when the best music we have ever heard flooded the air everywhere. I remember when all the song writers were pressured to best each other in writing songs that said something, like Four Dead in Ohio. You sound like a left-wing commie rat bastard. You better hope you never run into me. I LOVED killing "YOUR KIND" in Nam.  You sociopathic ameriturd. Love how the VC had you lumoxes scurrying and freaked out. Your ass got chased out. Gen Giap said your type made good targets They can thank their friends in the US Government and in America's Communist News Media for ending the Vietnam War. They kept a good man out of the White House who would have done what America SHOULD have done the first year of that war. "I could have ended the war in a month. I could have made North Vietnam look like a mud puddle." Barry Goldwater If Goldwater had been elected THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO MORE NORTH VIETNAM. This deceitful commercial scared the living shit out of Americans who were led to believe that Goldwater would have started World War III. (which he wouldn't have) |

His playing is sloppy and unfocused. There's ten thousand much better guitar players alive today. In fact, I took a walk and heard a local band practicing as I walked by a barn. Their guitar player was phenomenal, and this is just a no-name band in a small no-name town you never heard of. There are great guitar players everywhere. Hendrix wouldn't be seen as anything special today. He was a phenomenon at the time, that's all. |

Sorry having to disappoint you. Jimi Hendrix was definitely what you would now call a leftist. He was avant-garde, counter-culture, pro hippie and 100% anti-war. He had served in the Army from 1961 to 1962 as a paratrooper. He was an Army veteran. I lived through those years. I saw him performing gigs several times with Mitch Mitchell (drums) and Noel Redding (bass). Good times. I came. I saw. I Concorde.

He was pretty talented and very expressive, and he was the first to "go there" with a guitar, so there's the pioneering factor of course. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79291974 But his music is mostly just drugged out noise! His playing is sloppy and unfocused. There's ten thousand much better guitar players alive today.

There are great guitar players everywhere. Hendrix wouldn't be seen as anything special today. He was a phenomenon at the time, that's all. He would still be great, surely people learned to play blues rock at his pace. Technically he was amazing, and that takes time to master. Musically it wasn’t advanced but he had a swagger about him |
