In Both Cases it may sound good, musically it's boring.

Well, I'd say that if music sounds good it IS good. I mean, what's the point of being the World's greatest guitarist and have the best and most complex solos in the whole World but your music is no good?

And Hendrix? Hmmm, okay, he might have been a great guitarist (though personally I don't recall one of his songs I'd like) but I heard a funny story about him yesterday. Someone told me he was watching a documentary on Hendrix years ago while he was still living with his parents (probably like over 10 years ago), probably too loud... his mom came to his room and said "turn the vacuum cleaner off, will you?"
