Hendrix gets my vote, please no one say Jimmy Page.

Hendrix gets my vote, please no one say Jimmy Page.

Why can't anyone say Jimmy Page? What's the point of making it a poll then.

IMO, no one is better than Hendrix.

[A_Sense_Of_Rage]

Jimi Hendrix has my vote for the greatest ever.

As someone else once said, there's no one even in the same building as that guy...

I said please, it's just a request dear. Everyone is free to express their opinion.

Jimi was a great inovator.. I don't think he's near the best ever.. SRV IMO is better, Vai.

[Nightrain_Kid]

I think it was Neil Young.

[stevGNR666]

Jimi Hendrix is the guitar.

[Axl&SlashRhot]

Hendrix with no doubt in my mind

[krissirge]

Eddie Van Halen IMO

[Turn_It_Up]

Hendrix.

[johnezz]

Hendrix would defantly be the coolest motherfucker to ever pick up the guitar, he pushed the boundries further than anyone else. While he was not the first to incorprate blues guitar into Rock (Clapton was) he certainly pushed the guitar to the forefront of music and the world has never looked back.

Plus he made the Strat famous lol.

But yeha like someone said, SRV did play hendrix songs better than hendrix did.

[matt_barker]

no..

thats the simple answer

there may have been some faster players, but none played with as much emotional, feel as him IMO

[-Sephiroth-]

I think anyone else is slightly better than hendrix

[tryinharder]

Thats the stuff my brother listened to and he led my tastes in music. Hendrix is the shit.

eddie van halen. bucket. clapton.

[DoubleTalkinJive]

Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton come very close IMO. I'm listening to the Layla album atm, the guitars on it are incredible.

[F*ck Fear]

As far as I am concerned,there are so many better TECHNICAL players...Yes Jimi is probably the most influencial or whatever,but guys like Zakk Wylde,Dimebag Darrell,EVH etc are better.

[Chrisi Rokks]

Jimmy Page.

Ditto that

[Spoon87]

Jimi Hendrix playing doesn't do anything for me... I prefer Slash, Brian May and Dave Gilmour.

[chicagocoma13]

And now ladies and gentlemen the greatest rock in roll riff writer of all time----Jimmy Page

[Almost Famous]

I think anyone else is slightly better than hendrix

I agree...

Jimmy Page.

Ditto that

I second this...

Jimi Hendrix playing doesn't do anything for me... I prefer Slash, Brian May and Dave Gilmour.

Same, I'm not really into Hendrix, I only like one or two songs...
