Jimi Hendrix Styled on Eric Clapton

[malbaker86]

And clapton isn't really racist, he said something liek they have to stop letting so many immigrants into britain. A british person can't make that statement? You would only disagree if you have no history or country to call your own.

In 1974, six years after Enoch was drummed out of political life by his remarks, a drunken Clapton was performing at a concert in Birmingham, and apparently saw an Arab man leering at his wife. This was too much for Clapton, who began a diatribe lambasting "wogs," "blacks," "Jamaicans," and anyone else who lived in England and wasn't white. No official recording exists of the speech, but some choice quotes that witnesses agree on include Clapton saying, "I think Enoch's right ... we should send them all back. Throw the wogs out! Keep Britain white!" and that Britain was on its way to becoming "a black colony."

Clapton then picked up his guitar and went right back to covering songs originally performed by black people.

Cac alert.

"A British person" has to accept that their nation fukked up well over half of the world's population and forced them into refugee status. Citizens of commonwealth countries deserve to live there considering what they did to them. Clapton used racist language in his rants which can't be defended.

Jimmy Page's music isn't as good or as original as Jimi's. That's what we're talking about here.

If you're getting into the technical skill argument then what you're saying is equivalent to that bullshyt "underground rappity rap punchline guy>>>>>> 2Pac and Ice Cube because he can do complex multies and double time flow" internet nerd stuff. Some random bedroom shredder "eats" SRV and every legendary guitar player ever if you want to get into that argument. But that's not the point of music at all.

A wog is the British equivalent to "******". It's short for gollywog.

chill i didn't know he was that serious

Jimmy Page's music is better than Hendrix music IMO . The technical skill argument is real. Your comparison is bad because it is more like 2pac vs nas vs rakim etc. All the artists had basically equal talent to make good music. The ones who had different technical skills expanded the music into different areas making it better. Some random metalhead dude really doesn't beat srv because srv could play that way if he wanted.

there is also lots of old blues artists who have crazy technical skill so don't get me wrong. Lots of those guys used to play in old clubs and basically be by themself so they developed a style of being able to play all the part of a song with one guitar which is retarded and actually can be harder than "shredding".

 

[NormanConnors]

Hendrix was a longtime apprentice of Ernie Isley. He taught him everything.

I'd say yes and no on that. Jimmy was actually apart of the group for a small minute when they toured (and he is also on some of their records), on some honorary member ish, like Big Noyd is with Mobb Deep. You can catch Jimmy's influence on them later via the guitar solo on Who's That Lady, that sound is all Jimmy right there.

Clapton is exactly what Paul Mooney alluded to...

i slept on this.. the nikka paul mooney that truth.. dont give No fukks

 

[infamousred]

@ anyone claiming that hendrix isn't the greatest guitarist ever
here's hendrix showing cream what to really do with born under a bad sign


bold as love instrumental(actually my fav full length hendrix release)


little wing instrumental:


dude even made his hero(bob dylan) switch up his original all along the watch tower to sound more like hendrix version
he would've truly changed the sound scape of music as we know it...
another thing i want to add is mitch mitchell didn't get enough props as a drummer. that man was amazing. especially on the 2nd experience album. there's a reason hendrix brought him back and got rid of the other dude(i forgot his name), from band of gypsys.

 

[Piff Perkins]

It's crazy how he was a god in London in the 60s, and was sonning The Beatles/The Stones/Clapton/etc.

 

[PYRRHUS 88]

Buckethead is the GOAT guitarist though.

 

[Northern Son]

Why is this still in the Booth.

 

[observe]

bump

 

[DontEemTry]

Clapton was an ill dude no doubt, but he was/is still a racist.

Hell there were legendary white jazz artists out in the 40's and 50's who were racist as fukk but they could play.

 

[Mike Otherz]

i was never impressed with led zeppelin. technically good but still pretentious. something odd about young white art students trying to play blues music. i feel old black men should play blues. thats it.

so to me, it was a poor imitation.

Clapton is a racist.

Don't listen to that punk Clapton. The blues players he borrowed heavily from made way better music than that cac. Check out Albert King, Freddie King and Robert Johnson instead.

this is 100% fact. the 60's white rockers who blew up off blues imitations were wack to me. i can understand youngins being into it but as you get older, u have to graduate. i used to think was i being a racist. was i being bitter.

for real, chuck berry is the greatest guitarist ever. certainly the most influential. of all those young boys that played guitar hendrix was the best. but i dont even really fx with his music, but he definitely better than clapton and page and all those cacs. but those old blues dudes like muddy waters, sonhouse etc, those the goats right there breh and honestly, no race defensiveness involved, they played better music than their imitators.

its all irrelevant cause james brown made better music than all those 60's era cacs.
