jeff loomis vs. jimi hendrix

[sides]

both my supervisors at my work tried to tell me (until they were blue in the face) that jimi hendrix was the best that ever lived...even after I played a number of solos from various nevermore albums....

ignorance.......

 

[Chromatose]

and by that you mean it proved their point, am I right?

 

[FretsAflame]

Solution: beat them up and then take a shit on their chests.

jeff loomis shredding wouldve never existed if jimi never played the guitar!

I am going to type out the solo from the new Iron Maiden song.

I'm not saying Jeff is better than Jimi,I mean the comparision itself is stupid,because the different era and style,but stupid too is to say Jeff's and any other modern guitarist's shredding would've never existed without Jimi.

It's hard for a thread to make me laugh just from the title alone. This one succeeded.

true. i guess you could say that he wouldntve been as influenced because im pretty sure he was somewhat influenced by him

 

[Chromatose]

indeed, it's all pretty much inane banter around this.

plus it's not like a sport with a clear defined set up rules, "better" is subjective, unless you say jeff is better AT _________ (insert better thing here) and then someone can reply with well jimi is better AT __________ and then the kids say 'nuh uh yer a retard' and the adults with their smug sense of age-old wisdom scoff

plus who cares who is better, at least we can acknowledge the fact that jimi's MUSIC > nevermore's MUSIC regardless of playing abilities in this context HA!

 

[Ryan VH]

what the hell did you just say?

 

[Chromatose]

shouldn't you be in alaska >:O

 

[Metal head87]

Well even if Jeff isn't into Hendrix, he's into Malmsteen who would gladly suck off Hendrix if he was still alive.
I think Jeff is better as far as technical proficiency, but Hendrix is more influential. I'm not really into Hendrix, but I won't deny his influence. So it's not really easy to say who is the better guitarist.

That's like comparing Yngwie to Batio. Batio is a lot better, but his style would not exist if it was not for Yngwie.

I am going to say this to the chorus of my super awesome (not really) favorite HOM song. Track 6.
