You’re crazy man. You not having an appreciation for they did for music doesn’t make them overrated. It’s an absolutely absurd statement

Their influence on music can still be heard in new shyt made today. Get all the way the fukk outta here with that nonsense. Just dap fishing garbage

:camby:
fukk the beetles. :umad:

I've shyt on him and said he doesn't deserve the king of rock title

He's a good musician, if you think he isn't I'd love to know why you think that

Hendrix's writing has a lot to be desired sometimes, but he honest to god worked his way thru fame and did metal first :ehh:

Damn shame he wasn't able to get Band of Gypsys off the ground
Nikka what :skip:

I should neg you off gp, but I'll just chalk it up to different tastes

But one the things that separate hendrix from xyz guitar virtuoso was his great songwriting abilities

Every song he made brought something new to the table and sounded completely different from the rest

1983 is his masterpiece in my opinion :wow:

I dont understand how he could come up with that kinda stuff

Hendrix was a showman on the stage and a scientist in the studio :ohlawd:

Not too many can make the same claims

Where's the appreciation, by that logic TLR appreciates dysfunction and autistic women

I pointed out Otis Blackwell more than once, if you really gave a damn you would've made those threads already

His Experience stuff I mean. The wind cries Mary? Doesn't move me like is this love at all, he was way better when be had a Black band but not a lot of artists can hold a candle to any of his discography

The fact he didn't give black artists their just due shouldn't take away from the mans talent but it does affect his legacy...... an amazing performer and talented musician but didn't give credit where credit was due ...that is the stain on his legacy :ufdup:
He did quite a few times, his day one fans and cacs themselves hyped him up in a way he absolutely hated

From Jet Magazine 1957:

they played his movies on tv a lot when I was a kid. often instead of more interesting shyt like kung fu or cartoons. only reason i'll go to my grave never checking for him
His movies were terrible and the soundtracks were just as bad, he'd be the first to agree with me and you

Jimi Hendrix > All of them

The only person that can hang with Jimi is Michael Jackson and even he knows Jimi is King, God, and Tchalla with the Infinity Gauntlet.
