People give Hendrix credit for a lot of things, primarly his use of lots of distortion and feedback and techniques like pick scrapes and stacked amplification, things that Townshend was doing years prior...Rock music would be noticebly different without Pete Townshend. |
people are going to shun me for this . . . but i would rather listen/watch pete play than hendrix, just becuase hendrix is too overrated, and I have heard those same guitar parts over and over and over, and I think townshend is way funner to watch play. I'm in no way saying he is a better guitarist, but he isnt as bad as he's made out to be either. I have a vid. of the who playing my generation live on the sullivan show, it kicks some major ass. Hendrix doesn't have enough songs to keep me interested for a long time.
