That's the most idiotic statement I've ever heard, and trust me, I have heard them a lot!
Everybody knows that Hendrix is the greatest guitar player ever! He actually invented the sound of guitar we hear today! Malmsteen is good, that's quite obvious, but he's not that good to be compared with Jimi! Btw, it's not the fans who pick the best guitar player, there are people who know something about these things! And considering what kind of technology was used 40 years ago, compare how he played his guitar and how does Malmsteen play his on today's technology!
Preach it!
Hendrix will always hold a special place for me. His music was truly beautiful. HE made some of the greatest blues songs ever in my opinion.

Jimi isn't even near being the best. If world lists and opinions stepped into the world of Metal, rather than the mainstream crap played on the radio and television all the time, then they'd begin to realize that as well. Jimi is probably the most overrated guitar player ever. Yeah, he's good, he's just anywhere near being AS good as people make him out to be. Check Mohamad Suicmez of Necrophagist, Alex Skolnick, Michael Romeo, and around 40 others. You want a more mainstream name list? Try Petrucci, Steve Vai. I assure you, Jimi Hendrex is more hype and name than talent. Everyone in the Metal community holds my opinion, mainly because we've heard others, as opposed to the thousands and millions others who just go "yeah JIMI IS THE BEST!" without even listening to KNOWN bands..I bet not even Metallica.

I'm sorry, I have to say it... Cliff Burton can play bass better than Jimi can play the guitar. Yeah, I just said it.
You people fucking murder me, I swear. How can you compare a BASSIST, to a GUITARIST? That's like comparing Lars Ulrich to James Hetfield saying that Lars' drumming is better than James' singing. Yes, that's your comparison right there. Guitar and Bass are about as different as you and I. Fire and ice. Glass and plastic. Yeah, "you just said it", and I pray to God you don't say it near anyone musically capable, else you'd be ripped apart.

First part i agree with 99%, jimi was pretty good you have to admit...but most people overlook some of the best talent when it comes to guitar and bass and stuff since metal isnt exactly what most people wanna hear....its sad really many of the best guitarist are from obsecure death metal and black metal bands
lol....I always hear and still believe that a bassist is just someone who could not handle guitar :P....ohhh im gonna get flamed for that
That's Brian Peppers. And you don't think he's a beautiful person. So in other words, this thread has deteriorated far beyond its conception. Thread closed.
Preach it!

Rise and rise again, until lambs become lions
I personally do not like Hendrix, but does that doesn't mean he is or is not the best guitarist of all time... it's all a matter of personal taste.
Keeping things going here.....
I think Ol' Adolph belongs in this thread. While many would disagree.
The evil side of anything must not be ignored....
