Wanna see me catch some smack for this?......Here it goes.....I think Jimmy is and was way overated! :eek: Dont get me wrong...the man was brillant when it came to writing some off the wall emotional licks, leads, riffs etc...and was the father of some seriuos heavy/bluesy/wierd stuff back when mommy and daddy dropped some good blotter. Infact I have even went through the Jimmy stage! But, as far as todays standards go and from what I grew up to? His live improvised stuff that I hear so much about today.....is kinda noisey and sloppy. Now Im no technical virtuoso myself and Im sure Jimmy had more talent in his pinky then I will ever have in my whole groove. But there was many more in his time that went unreconized!..............Sorry Jimmy Peeps (Just an opinion)
Im a small town White Boy just trying to makes ends meat!
