Default Re: Is there even a close second to Jimi Hendrix?

I put both Page and Clapton above Hendrix.

Page was better at: Composing, performing, showmanship, soloing, changing gears, and better with the acoustic, and bow-playing.

Hendrix was great at what he did, I'll admit, but he had many less dimensions than did Page. Most great guitarists just say Hendrix was the bomb and better than them because he a) is dead b) was American and c) was black. That's right I said it.

If the grim reaper showed up and said I have to pick a guitarist to compose and perform a good enough rock song to keep me alive, I'd pick Page everytime over Hendrix. Unless the reaper was wearing a Mariners hat or something.

Jesus Christ you're retarded. Both for putting Clapton above Hendrix and for bringing race into this.
