Author Topic: Jimi Hendrix- Vastly overrated (Read 16046 times)

This warrants it's own thread. Hendrix was a sloppy blues hack guitarist. Mediocre at best in terms of musical proficiency. He had horrible taste in music. Turned his back on the Blacks and worshipped the White man such as Bob Dylan and The Beatles. His cover versions were really shitty. Feedback isn't music and pretending to play with one's teeth is foolish.

Not overrated influential wise

There were far better technical players of his day

The stones worshipped black blues n jazz players

I met Satriani and Vai in the summer of 90. Guess who they worshipped? ...... Prince

Yes he was, as is/was every other musician ever... Not that hard of a thing to do, honestly...

If Hendrix was White he would have gone largely unnoticed.

Like Rory Gallagher...

Actually, no. Not an exceptional guitarist by any stretch of the imagination.

I urge everyone here to ignore this thread because it is absolute horse shit.

If Hendrix doesn't suit your musical taste then so be it, but to call him an overrated, sloppy, hack, or medicore is fucking insane. Eat a big bag of shit.

Ever try to play a Hendrix song on guitar, correctly? Trying one once, will tell you all you need to know about him musically.

I am not a fan of Hendrix’s music but you have to be deaf and blind not to see how he changed music forever.

he was one of the early trial balloons of the current SWJ marxist infection. He fit all the "oppressed" labels and checked all of the counter culture boxes. Black, poor, anti-Vietnam, interracial breeding, pro drugs.

Everything needed to start the undermining of traditional western values.

I've read a number of stories from musicians from that time frame that hung with Jimi. I can't recall a single one that thought he was overrated. On the contrary, I have read a number of stories from respected musicians who were very impressed with his playing and not just his electric guitar but acoustic as well. But I am willing to leave all that behind because the OP thinks he is overrated.
