  So there you have it.  There you have nothing, Rolling Stone magazine is FU##ING RETARDED. It's owned by a Jewish LESBIAN from SanFrancisco as far as I am aware..:eek: They give excellent reviews to every worthless Justin Timberlake and 50 Cent album that comes out, and they gave shi##y reviews for nearly every single Led Zeppelin album, the people at Rolling Stone magazine are and have always been a bunch of liberal morons. Just because the almighty Rolling Stone magazine says Jimi Hendrix is the best guitar player ever I guess that's settled huh?:rolleyes: What the hell does Rolling Stone know about good music?? That magazine is pathetic trash. I always keep a couple copies next to the toilet along with my supply of Israeli flags to wipe my rear end with after a healthy number 2.     As you should already know from this thread, I always give credit where credit is due, which is why I must make it my obligation to come on this tedious thread and point out how Rock N' Roll IS White originated music, so is Jazz! and....so is Blues! All American music I can think of owes it's roots directly to Whites. African influence? what African influence? Most American Blacks were completely assimilated to White Southern culture, the assimilation process began on the boat ride over.     But...since I am a man who always gives credit where credit is due. I am going to probably be in the minority on this thread among fellow WNs because I am going to give Hendrix the credit he duly deserves. He was nowhere near the greatest guitar player of all time. Or even of his time, Eric Clapton was a more technically skilled guitar player and I'm sure there were others as well, and have been dozens of more skilled guitar players since Hendrix. The thing that makes him great is the fact that he was innovative and original, he made sounds from the guitar that no one else had ever done or dreamed of before. That's his mark on rock music , his innovative technique and style. Yes, Hendrix had a profound impact on the course of Rock music. There isn't one single rock guitarist since Hendrix who wasn't influenced either directly or indirectly by Hendrix's innovative playing style there is no getting around that. No matter how much alot of people on this site may not want to accept that, to not accept it would be to be in a state of denial.    Hendrix was an innovator, he changed the course of guitar playing forever. There isn't one single rock(and not just rock) guitarist who wasn't either directly influenced by Hendrix or influenced by someone who in turn was themselves influenced by Hendrix, no getting around it. He wasn't the best guitar player ever but.....he WAS the most innovative guitar player ever. I will concede that to you morons who think all music is Black originated, when in fact almost every single American musical genre is of White origin. But whatever you think is true, so long as I know I'm not musically retarded.
