What's your deal with Gronkowski, Alex?
Both were novelty acts. Neither one were real musicians.
Truly one of thew most idiotic statements ever typed on here in eons.
Would have been something if they had jammed together a little. Wonder if they ever met? both had respect for all music, and were very mature, cool guys. Santana needs to get back to his roots. WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Really? Did they know how to read music?
Who knows........they`re both self taught asshole.
Stick to what you know: nothing.
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.
Are you a musician? Do you play guitar? Thought so.
Yes.
Not overrated influential wiseThere were far better technical players of his dayThe stones worshipped black blues n jazz playersI met Satriani and Vai in the summer of 90. Guess who they worshipped? ...... Prince
it seems they met several times, but I've found nothing about them playing together.UV: I believe you met Hendrix two or three times - one of the times was when he was recording 'Room Full of Mirrors' and you've talked about that in other interviews. When were the other times that you met him?CS: At the Berkeley Community Centre [30 May 1970]. I think those were the only two times that I remember. I saw him at Santa Clara Fairgrounds in San Jose in '69 [25 May 1969] but I didn't get to talk to him then - I still didn't know him. I think that was the best concert that I ever heard him play. He had supreme confidence that day. There was nothing in his mind about business of chicks or anything that I could tell because he just came out like Michael Tyson, when Michael Tyson would knock guys [out] in 3 seconds. There's a certain 'stance'. That's what Miles Davis said: 'I can tell whether a person can play just by the way he stands, you know.' He had a certain stance, man. He was all over that Strat and had supreme confidence, that's all I can say. http://www.djnoble.demon.co.uk/ints/CARLOSS.ANT.html
and Hendrix... In fact, Satriani cites him as his all time favorite and biggest inspiration so much so, that he refuses to ever learn to play a Hendrix song as he would view it as sacrilege.
Invariably, there is always a small percentage of people who for whatever reason, make idiotic statements about bands or musicians who are world renown and have made a name for themselves. You can take the most accomplished musician alive, sold millions of records, is admired by their peers, and you can bet there will be a nobody somewhere, who thinks it makes them somehow less of a nobody loser, to proclaim them overrated. It has been going on since before Elvis, and it will continue well past Prince. For some reason, they believe their claim, based on nothing but personal opinion, overcomes the mass of evidence that they are just stupid people. This thread is a prime example.
Sometimes Coltrane's sax was out of intonation. So overrated.
Word... I've even cringed at a Neal Peart Solo and thought "What the hell was he thinking?"
It’s “Neil”, Mr. Music. Leave the music chatter to those of us who know something.
