I think you're probably the only person in my entire life who has said Jimi Hendrix sucks. Seriously.

Yeah that's sort of absurd. Overrated? maybe. But sucks??? I don't think so. Now Kirk Hammet, he sucks.

I wouldn't listen to Jimi Hendrix, but I do acknowledge his skill. I've seen videos of him playing... it's like the guitar is an extension of his body.

:laughing:

Im sorry but I feel you contradicted yourself a little there. I agree that to say Hendrix sucked, ie to completely disregard any talent the man had on any level is crazy and whereas Hendrix may have been in a completely different league to Hammet I think the same applies.

Dimebag Darrell is/was the best guitarist there is...thats gonna keep me amused for the next few days

so there is no truth to rock n roll guitar is rudimentry and repetetive only using 3 chords, and the like etc. Just stirring the pot, or is it smoking?

it's obvious that you're baiting guitarists here.

here's a clip of batio for those who don't recognize the king of cheese by name. yes, he's actually cheesier than malmsteen.

Now if he could kick pahuuta in the balls while doing that, then I'd say he is the best guartarist there is...

Heh see I'll give MAB his props, he's talented. I know he will offend quite a few members here and to be honest his music does squat for me.

Michael Angelo Batio is the worst guitarist I've ever heard.

coming from the guy with a buckethead avatar when buckethead and batio play the same exact music and have same skill levels
