He brought in his homie (black)from the ARMY Billy Cox because Noel was pissing him off...yet Noel supposed to be some top 50 bassistHe also had a band with all black members called the band of gypsies .
lets be real jimi hendrix in the black community is all image, like them girls wearing david bowie t shirts. i bet no one hear has listened to jimi hendrix all year yet alone name me 3 songs.
its been looks over content well back into the days, its always been some lady gaga shyt.
and those talking bout his guitar skills, the mass appeal lick >> jimi hendrix stuff, clearly you dudes dont even know what you are listening to when you hear all that hard guitar licks, fcuk all that extra shyt it supossed to sound melodic and simple like all great music.
i mess with black excellence, and jimi is black excellence but his not even better than sly stone & the family. at least black folk, bump sly stones shyt.
and he got god status because of the white boy nod, thats it not really content.
He was also taught how to play by Ernie Isley

NO he wasn't. He was playing for YEARS before he started playing with the Isleys.
He was imitating Albert King and Buddy Guy and all those guys before he was with them.
https://www.youHendrix continued to indulge his career-long love of jamming while playing at the Wha? and hanging out in the Village, studying other groups' routines at different clubs. Bob Kulick, a member of The Random Band then playing Village clubs, often saw Hendrix about. "He was constantly at one club or another, either hanging out or picking up girls. Jimi was a consummate musician who would jam with anybody, any time. When he watched bands, he would even take notes. He would pick up stuff from everybody, no matter how bad they were... There wasn't anybody around who could play like him. No one could even figure out what he was doing. He played tons of blues, but his signature song was 'Hey Joe'. He also did a primitive version of 'Third Stone from the Sun'. I asked him who his biggest influence was, and he told me Curtis Mayfield."
Clapton fukking sucks. I think he’s the most overrated guitarist of all time. Jimi all day.The premise of this thread
It's downplaying Jimi talent..
Yet
-Clapton played with HIGHLY respected Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce
Why not downplay Clapton?
Or Randy Rhoads for working with Daisley and Kerslake
This shyt would be like
"Eh Jimmy Page was good but his drummer was BETTER"..
No one does that bullshyt.
Give credit where credit is due...
No one rates Noel's bass playing highly either..dude was nothing special and Jimi grew tired of working with him.
