I wasn't in a mood to make a list 6 miles long of ALL THE INFLUENCES, EVERYONE had in that day and age. . .

Everyone has an influence on everyone, no matter how small or big.

Perhaps. But Hendrix would still be doing what he was doing without the Beatles. He wouldn't have been as successful, but he was influenced more by the blues guys than the Beatles.

True, but if you read the other dumbass thread in this forum, the one about Hendrix vs Halen you'll see that I did indeed name a few blues artists, I'm not really as stupid as you all think, I'm just lazy at midnight when I get around to reading these boards and don't want to type mile long posts. Though the beatles did have an influence on him, he did remake Sgt. Pepper right? ;)

DUDE, if you have never listened to more then one song then your comments are meaningless to this thread.

The thread lives!

My comments are NOT meaningless, if I was so BOARD by nirvana on the first song I had ever heard them play, they aren't worth the time of day. Jimi lives on, this thread sucks.
