A further 3 reasons -
1. His rendition of The Star Spangled Banner is, in all fairness, a mess. It truly is. Now, if you or I made that then people would laugh at you and call you a bit funny, but because it's Hendrix then automatically people assume that it's brilliant.
It's like Smoke on The Water. Okay, so forget that fact that it's the first thing you can play on the guitar and it's by Deep Purple and mentions Frank Zappa, and listen to it again. It's a terrible song.
2. Yes, drugs can make your creativity better, but ultimately when you get to the point where you need to take drugs to write great songs is the moment where you are not a naturally talented song writer.
3. The whole ''3 years is not enough to expand'' bull****. Take The Beatles' 1963 album Please Please Me and count on 3 years. You get to their 1966 album Revolver, which is arguably one of the greatest albums of all time. 3 years. Hendrix had three years, but he didn't evolve the much.
