>>> Hendrix is better at lead whoever said he wasn't is an idiot.
No just hold on a cotton pickin' minute. This is a VERY dangerous
thing to say. Hendrix was a complete and utter show off. Yes, he
played good guitar, but most of the time it's all fireworks and
glitter, and makes for a good spectacle. Just watch Townshend play
on the Join Together/Road Runner/My Generation Blues medley off TKAA
and tell me Hendrix is better than Pete. I mean, Pete really
squeezes the life out of his poor old geet. I think you should
really think carefully before accusing people of being idiots.
Frankly I find Hendrix boring now. He is at his best when he's
playing an acoustic guitar, playing a simple blues song, his other
stuff is just mush. Pete is a more complete guitarist, it's as
simple as that. When you say that Hendrix is a better lead guitarist
than Townshend, what I assume you mean is "Hendrix can play much
faster, fiddlier SOLOS than Townshend". Now that's a different
matter altogether - I mean, look at Yngwie J Malmsteen (sp.?)....;-)
