Hi Queenzone team.

I don't want annoy anyone by asking you this but who here likes Jimi Hendrix. Only i used to hate his music but My dads just got a new album and 2 DVDs. I think he's pretty brilliant. I like his guitar work. Only thing i don't like is the way he never seems to make any real tunes or melodys. I still think he's great though anyone agree?
Sorry this may not be a good topic.

My friend you want melodies listen to the first Hendrix album 'Are You Experienced'-any of it. Or 'Axis Bold As Love' excellent. Nice you appreciate a true guitar genius, remembering you have to put it in the context of the time he was doing his stuff-60s, it was very far reaching, still is really. But try these albums and happy listening.

Okay. Thanks. I've only just started listening to his stuff. I quite like it. Especially Voo Doo Chile live. Brilliant. I have live at the Isle Of Whight Aug 1970. If you ever see that in the shops it's worth getting.

Not only was/is Hendrix the best guitarist/musician ever imo!!, he was one cool mother****er.

You gotta check out Voodoo Chile at Woodstock.

I love Hendrix. There's a song called "May this be love" that has a lovely melody to it.

MEGA musician. Such a waste.

Castles Made of Sand, Wind Cries Mary and All Along the Watchtower are my faves.

I like Jimmy Hendrix, but I have to say that the most respect that I have for Jimmy is because without him Queen might have never existed.

Jimmy Hendrix is undoubteably Queen's biggest musical influence.

I just love the fact he played a right handed guitar upside down. Best ever.

It's arguable the fact of whether Jimmy Hendrix was the greatest guitarist ever or not.

What I think can't be denied is that Jimmy Hendrix has been indeed the most influential of all guitarists.
