Sure Jimi is a great guitarist, but as one can see he is clearly
OVERRATED. Many of the definitions that are already posted for Jimi are the same. "Jimi played the
guitar with his teeth", "Jimi was on
acid, he has to be awesome!", "Jimi lit guitars on fire!", blah, blah, blah. What song did Jimi play the guitar with his teeth on? Let me tell you, it was "The Star Spangled Banner", which I must say is one of the WORST guitar solos I have ever heard in my life. It sounds like crap. I don't even know how to play a fricken guitar let alone one with my teeth and I could still play something on a guitar that sounds better than that sorry excuse of
music with a guitar pick taped to my
butt. I could take a dump in the toilet and listen to the kerplunks in the
water and still be more entertained. The only reason that Jimi is SO fricken popular is because he has so many fricken gimmicks that appeal to many idiots, who only appreciate what artists do and not what they create. Just because he did things such as lighting guitars on fire and getting high on
acid during concerts doesn't mean he is the greatest guitarist. Sure he was good at the guitar but no more. Cleary anyone who can recognize quality
music when they hear it can't say that Jimi was the greatest guitarist ever; his guitar playing sounds sloppy and just plain bad at times. If anyone really wants to hear the greatest guitarist of all
time pop in a Led Zeppelin CD and you
will instantly have your clothes ripped off by the explosive riffs of the true Guitar God. Jimmy Page is by far the greatest guitarist ever to live, and he doesn't need a bunch of fricken gimmicks to prove that. Just listen to these few Led Zeppelin songs: "Stairway to
Heaven", "Dazed and Confused", "Heartbreaker", and "Communication Breakdown" and any other previous opinions you had of Jimi Hendrix
will be shattered completely. Listen to the rest of Led Zeppelin and you
will worship them as
music gods.
