and tony iommi was my friend typin so u cant really hold that one against me. and as far as metal to rock, metral is just a branch off of it, to telll the truth, im not totally in metal like i stated before, i like classic rock by zep floyd and others, the fact is, jimi is a great guitarist who cov ered songs and interpreted thru aciid trips. hes the best of his time but again, not the god of rock an roll, no one can claim that title. despite what a lot of people think, there are choices and there are ties.

Just as there is always a bigger fish, there is always a better guitarist

Ok dude, WHY do you mention Lennon at all??!!! NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY regards him as a great guitarist at all. He was strictly a great songwriter! And if you want to talk about people," covering songs through acid trips" look at half of those people you named and tell me they weren't stoned, drunk, high, or any combination of the three while playing alot of their concerts!!! Another thing !!! Name me 10 songs that hendrix covered that sounded remotely close to the original version!
