Too stupid, won’t read. What are you saying, they killed him because he was so great on the guitar and they were all jelly? The dude sucked. Still sucks. They still say he’s the best ever but I can name ten guitarists even from his era, who blew him away. No one even knew who he was before the Monterey Pop Festival in which he lit his guitar on fire. It’s the most famous picture of him and all he’s known for.

Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck beg to differ.

They’re just being overly humble. They both know/knew they blow him away. All Hendrix did was come up with some breakthrough stuff at just the very right moment, kind of the Beatles and their weird stuff. It can’t sustain. Literally Hendrix would have become a nothing had he lived as he would have been topped by every kid with a restrung strat left and right.
