The biggest problem I have is that most that have seen Hendrix in real life were as stoned as he was, and didn't notice how out of tune he was ...
Prove it.
You said:
Can you imagine if Jimmy Bryant had turned up with a Fuzzbox in London during Mid 60's, Hendrix would have been nothing
Prove it. Just assumptions.

The footage I put up of Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West was live more than 10years earlier and they were joking about as they played more complex material.
The material might be more complex and the technique perfect but frankly the music was a pile of shit. I rather poke my eyes out than listen to that ... Albert Lee it wasn't. Your argument misses the point .. live rock music is loud and visceral .. I can see you at a concert making notes about every bum note and out of tune bend so you could demand a refund.
And finally, nobody has said Hendrix was the greatest .. a hell of a lot of good guitar players have said he influenced them which is a totally different thing.
You seem to have moved into troll mode.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
You've essentially given up the point of your original question and just gone full troll mode.
The point is, just because you don't like Hendrix or don't rate him, doesn't mean he's not as influential and important as he is/was. I don't particularly like Hendrix, I mean, I listen to the obvious songs from time to time but he's far from the first thing I choose to listen to, and always has been. And yet despite this, I can appreciaate the massive influence he's had on modern music. More so than whoever it was that came before him and did whatever better. He was the one who made people sit up and take note, that is fact.
But this is a waste of time. You've been dismissive, despite appearing genuine at first, and have moved the goalposts so many times this thread is a massive joke. Even you admit that by saying you're essentially on the wind-up.
Really I think if he'd turned up in London with a fuzzbox in the 60s even the most zonked out hippy would have got nasty and told him to fuck off back to his farm.
Thats like a Kim Jong Il level of ignorance right there

HAHAHAHA. Can we cut the subtlety please as sometimes I find it hard to distinguish between a flat out troll and blind dumbass stupidity.
At least one thing we can all agree on is the unquestionably huge influence that Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West are cited as of modern guitar playing. :^o
Oh irony, sweet irony I love you.

LOL at the vids )
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
I regret this already, but what is exactly is wrong with being a "metalhead shredder"?
