    Overated. He was an excellent guiatarist, but his singing SUCKED! He gets far too much credit, he was fucking good, but there are betters out there. And alot of his covers were far inferior to the originals (All Along The Watchtower being the one that really stands out, I really hate his version)
  11. sorbusSalvaged from archive15 Oct 2006, 05:10
    Unlike Dylan Who Said Jimi was The First Person to understand The Song Okay TRex Name The Guilty Men :twisted: :roll: :wink: :lol: :lol: 8) but Discount Clapton, Townsend .Jeff Beck, all Who Said He Was Far Beyond Them
  12. AllisterFiendSalvaged from archive16 Oct 2006, 04:18
    His playing made up for his singing. He took guitar playing and took it from black and white into color... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccWXxtFrvlk Nice song...

    Yeah, that's right. He was a blues artist at heart. It's about the feeling, the soul. Singing abilities, nah. Hendrix NOT overrated. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm5eicls6tQ Check this video out. Robert Johnson. Couldnt find any other videos that had any of his music... Legendary blues artist. Did he have any singing ability? lol No. But I think I can safely say we wouldn't have any of todays rock/funk/rap whatever without him... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqgcM_CmhdA Oh, here's one... EDIT: I dont think I made a very good point... :lol: oh well
  17. jabaSalvaged from archive5 Nov 2006, 05:26
    Blues is like a timeless genre of modern music. The sort of stuff you need on a deck with cool glass of beer....hey i'm having one of me moments here lol

    Everything You Heard, You Hear, and Will Hear Today or Tomorrow, can be traced Back to The TwentyNine Songs Recorded By Robert Johnson: Every Riff and Lick Can Be Found in The Rendition and Playing of These Twenty Nine Tracks Hendrix, Zeppelin, Purple, The Stones, All Only Follow The Trail He Blazed
  19. AllisterFiendSalvaged from archive6 Nov 2006, 02:30
    You cant forget Son House, though, who had a major influence on Johnson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0v8XBrIgYE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk10jctoxx4 and Skip James... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCpFl_7MoxE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytVww5r4Nk0

    When I first Heard RJs Complete Recordings I was to be blunt astonished. I heard in these 29tracks Every Jones, Clapton Beck , Page, Cooder AlvinLee etc I did not Hear just a down home Blues Singer I heard The Great Grand-Daddy of British Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. In these twentynine accoustic tracks Robert Johnson invented Rock `n` Roll. Son House. Leadbelly, Missippi John Hurt, Muddy Waters all were The Original Blues Men Robert Johnson was not merely an Original Blues Man He set in motion what would eventually explode into Unbridled Stadium Rock`n`Roll and there probably remains some as yet undiscovered Riffs and Licks. When Robert went to The Crossroads He came back with The Whole HyperMarket.

    T.Rex is a snob. He thinks he's too good for music. :lol: Hendrix's singing wasn't that terrible. Just compare him to say, I dunno.... almost any band of today... Amazing guitarist. I wonder how many hours he praticed a day...
  22. sorbusSalvaged from archive6 Nov 2006, 17:28
    RK I kid you not I heard the Opening Riff to "Dazed and Confused" maybe a little speedier but recognisably the same riff

I don't even bother reading his posts on music or movies anymore because it's the same whiny crap every time. I'd like to see him play the gee-tar like Hendrix and then try to sing.

Hendrix rocks n is a legend - Queen just fucking blow's u away- wish Fred Mercs was still around! TREX who blows ure mind in terms of music!

    Pink Floyd.... :lol: :roll:
  28. T.RexSalvaged from archive8 Nov 2006, 00:51
    :lol: Of course im a snob because my music tastes are different from yours... Lets all be sheep and like exactly the same things... Overated is being given more credit than someone deserves, Hendrix was treated like a God (and dead artist syndrome has hardly helped this) when he clearly wasnt. He had a unique talent on the guitar (ive never denied this, but I dont think he was the best ever), but his voice annoys me and his songwriting was far from the best. Yet he is still considered one of the best musicians ever, which in my opinion makes him overated. Being able to write excellent songs is what really makes a musian 'amazing' imo. Especially if the songs are trying something new, not just building upon the tried and tested, this is where the creativity in music really shines, which is what its all about imo, its just another form of art. Queen again were amazing (and possibly the best at what they did - Showy rock mixing lots of different styles, stamduim rock, glam rock etc), but I still think they're overated, nowdays Bohemian Rhapsody is often considered the greatest song ever, which it isnt imo, and Freddie Mercury is considered 'the best vocalist ever' by too many people, overlooking so many people imo. This makes them overated, there are better bands out there. So of course, me having a different opinion on music makes me a 'snob'. Well at least I can back up my opinion...
  29. Rocker KidSalvaged from archive8 Nov 2006, 00:56
    No no. Were quite the same in music tatste. Sheep? Not me. Not like I listen to Angels and Airways. You sound like a broken record saying the same thing over and over again. Back up your opinion? You say the same thing every time sombody persues you. Hendrix had some good lyrics man ;) I'm sorry Rexy but I think you don't even seem to enjoy music. You're too busy calling it overated all the time.
  30. ColziSalvaged from archive8 Nov 2006, 00:59
    in some cases people just follow a band/atrist because everyone else does but majority dont- i dont think Queen was the best vocalist nor Hendrix the best writer, i dont think anyone can say all i will say is Hedrix n Queen are legends of music withe them its the whole package the erea the timing n some god damn great tracks!

True. But if you look on people who were actually in the music scene from the 70's they say "Oh man, Jimi was the first person I heard play like that. Then everybody tryed to play like him..." I'd rather take my chances from sombody who has seen him while alive instead of Rex who's 17.
  32. AllisterFiendSalvaged from archive8 Nov 2006, 01:16
    Of course that just Jack's opinon... :wink: (haha we have a resturaunt over here called Jack's...) Nobody played like Hendrix back in '69. Now, if you compare him to some people NOW, you could probably say he's overrated. I like to look at Queen's music as symphonies. Music at it's finest. And, it was almost ALL Freddie. Queen wasn't really backing in the rhythm section, though.
  33. ColziSalvaged from archive8 Nov 2006, 01:16
    he's a legend in music because of his presence n the overall package he's got! I dont love all his songs, but some are superb, like most artists ive heard i love some tracks on any one album, most songs on an a album are just thier to make up the album! Unless its thier greatest hits!

    Two Men look out through prison bars One sees mud The Other Stars I went to a concert of Hawkwind and when I came out my friend Dressed in His Suit Said "The Sound Quality was not as Good as the Record I had just experienced what was an amazing LightShow Seen Stasia Dance Naked Heard Some of The Most Mindblowing Music I had ever Heard This was The Whole Tribe DikMik Lemmy Barney Bubbles Stasia Calvert Brock I was Tripping The Light Fantastic without Acid Trying to Stop My Brain from Floating Away I looked at My Straight Friend said Yeah it was a real shame I`m taking Brian round to Get Their Autograph You go grab a table in Burger King and we`ll seeyou there I was talking of My Nine Yearold Nephew He got More Than Their Autograph Stasia Kissed Him and further Blew His Mind But My Friend obviously had not been at the same concert.

You're too busy calling it overated all the time. Sheeps come in all different shapes and sizes... I don't say the same thing over and over again, and at least I give reasons for my opinion. You can still be critical of music and enjoy it at the same time, very few songs are 'perfect' You seem to just listen to music and like a dull robot accept it for what it is without asking why, or looking into the song at its faults and good parts. You have several times claimed you wanted to be a professional musician, well if you really hope to suceed (which I severly doubt you ever will) then your going to have to have abit more of an opinion on songs/bands/albums than you do now imo, and be able to express that. You even seem to have trouble accepting that other people may find bands 'overated'. I like to look at Queen's music as symphonies. Music at it's finest. And, it was almost ALL Freddie. Queen wasn't really backing in the rhythm section, though. Complete and utter bullshit, don't talk about things you dont understand, it just makes you look stupid. Queen was not all Freddie in the slightest. Have you heard anything but their greatest hits? Do you know which songs different members wrote? Saying Queen was all Freddie, is like saying The Beatles was all Lennon. Brian May was just as talented as Freddie in his own field, and was a damn good singer aswell (Roger Taylor wasnt far behind either), not carrying on after his death was a big mistake imo.
