Do you really just plug into the amp and play without trying to get a nice tone on purpose or is it all one big pi** take. You are surely earning money under false pretences and trading off your brother fame and name.Crap with a capital C.

Great guitarist. Greatest of all time? Yeah, right. Maybe if you only listen to radio. If he was a world class musician, he would have had world class accompaniment. His bands always SUCKED MAJOR ASS therefore his tunes were mediocre at best. I prefer Johnny Winter. Laters scumdogs. This guy’s a tool, but yeah, SRV ain’t that special. Great guitarist.

But are they really things that you could listen to all day long and never get tired of. hendrix music is very gimmicky and does not stnad the all important time test. kind of like rick astley. Listening to hendrix would be just as bad as listening to someone slide minor 5th intervals and diminished chords up and down the neck with some out of tune bends snd out of tune guitar( YES it WAS out of tune sometimes). any ways Cheers. =) oh and LALA hendrix may have created a lot of original things.

But when someone cover hendrix he always gets credit. And the only real change hendrix made to rock was stage presence and distortion(which WAS being experimented with by blues player of the time). I HATE how many people say that bands couldn't have existed without his influence. Every band has more than one influence so if they "couldn't have existed without hendrix" they couldn't have existed without every other influence they'd had. Even without hendrix the bands could have still existed with a different just as well loved sound. And there are a slew of artist "gasp" who's sound is DEFINETLY not influenced by hendrix. He may have made people want to play guitar but that was mainly because of how cool they thought he looked with a guitar in his hands and smashing etc. Hendrix seems like something that teenagers think is cool to rock on t-shirts to make it seem like they know about rock history and good music. I'll bet some of those damn kids couldn't even identify a single song he made. Anyways back to the point yes, srv did not have very many original licks but he presented them in such a flawless and seemless way that when I listen to it it feels to me like he really made it his own. Now he did have some misses but when he hit he hit hard. @LALA8181 Hendrix did some cover tunes( and even though i dont like to admit it he did them better) but no one ever credits people who made the original songs hendrix covered.

Just because a housewife knows about him does not make him the greatest, it just means he had a ton of promotional money working to make him a household name. How many average housewives do you know that are really well-versed in blues history? yeah...thought so. When I hear somebody say they never heard a guitar player as good as SRV...i just figure that person hasn't really heard that many guitarists. For every famous anything, there are dozens (maybe hundreds)of others in the same field who remain obscure despite posessing world-class abilities. SRV re-inventing the songs he covered? Think again. Maybe you need to brush up on your blues history-and I don't mean just dropping names. you're gonna have to really start listening to the real groundbreakers and original artists who defined the genre. Go on...dig up the original versions. Quite often, intros, licks, whole solos were lifted verbatim from the original recordings. But-since you've probably never heard the original versions of many of SRVs cover tunes...well, how would you know? ignorance is bliss! Am I some kind of SRV hater? hell no! I just prefer the guys who wrote the book, not much on paint-by-numbers artists. Soooo...why did all the old blues guys love Stevie? Really? You can't figure this out? Here's the real reason: SRV's popularity revived the carreers of the Buddy Guys and Albert Kings. Those guys were schlepping it out in tiny bars throughout the 1970's...SRVs popularity in the 80's created a renewed interest in the real deal masters of the genre. Basically-SRV brought work to those guys-they became 'cool' by asssociation. Damn right they're not going to say one negative thing about him or his playing-that's biting the hand that feeds. Oh and Romeo Rose? There's something seriously wrrong with that guy. One day we'll see him on the news: Murder/Suicide or worse. Can you say "Nathan Gale waiting to happen?" PS- Homeo Hose is playing in Ausstin July 11 at a place called Bikinis-any readers in Austin are encouraged to bring rotten fruit...

Like someone said in the post, people got caught up in his tone .Once you get past that you're left with very little. As far as Hendrix goes SRV some what had a Hendrix obsession .From the licks to some of his clothes to the songs.What kills me is when people say "If it wasn't for SRV , I wouldn't have been interested in the blues". Why is that ?Now how many blues artist were on the planet before 1982? All of a sudden along comes SRV now everybody (new generation) are sooooooo enlightened now. Again , I like Stevie Ray ,but I think he was over hyped.Sure Hendrix had gimmicks but some of that "noise" were extensions of notes.What people fail to realize is that Hendrix changed rock & roll in less than a 5 year span. Another thing, Hendrix was 27 years old when he died .Srv was 35 when he died. That's more than a 7 year plus difference between the two.Maybe Hendrix and SRV might have peaked already,but can honestly say I feel Hendrix wasn't close to peaking just yet. SRV was stuck in cover mode .Nothing is wrong with doing covers .It's just that at the end the day you have to have your own lane of originalit . Is Stevie Ray Vaughan a bad ass guitar player ? Sure he is .Is he the "End All Be All" when it comes to blues from the soul and from the gut ? No not at all. I do like some of his songs for the record. @southernrock4life Stevie Ray Vaughan was a damn good guitar player , but can you name me any original licks from SRV like you can name licks from the likes of BB,Albert Collins ,Albert King , Buddy Guy,Johnny Winter or Robert Cray ?

The bottom line is everyone is right.If I love lamb and you say it sucks whos to say your wrong.I for example think Kenny G sucks but that doesnt make me right.Stevie played from the heart gave credit where credit was due and from everything Ive read was a hell of a good guy, better guy than me Im a mean red spider!!
