![]() I have 2 teenage kids who are carrying on the family tradition. seen all the rock greats as far as i know!!!! i am a child of the 70's but you cant beat the founders of rock. looking forward to next week, my older brother was at isle of wight. As regards Jack Bruce and Noel Redding, no comparison.įantastic,showed jimi fighting his deamons and great guitar licks it 'rocked' great clips, Eric Clapton, The who,and Bob Dylan.Įnjoyed the first programme very much but i don't think it is fair top compare clapton and hendrix as while hendrix was a showman and clapton plays more blues style guitar Hendrix was the complete showman and a guitar great, though I think clapton was technically better. Baker would have outplayed mitch mitchell off the stage and clapton was less volatile in his playing than hendrix. ![]() I saw hendrix and cream live a few times in the 60's both great bands but totally different styles when playing live. Just one note from his guitar said so much for me. Hendrix played from the heart, from the guts ,deep down.I could spend the rest of my life just listening to "Red House"and not be tired. ![]() MItch and Jack actually played together in a great band that you probably never saw Ken called 'Jack Bruce and Frineds' with Larry Coryell. MItch Mitchell.totally innovative and a great free form jazz influenced (Elvin Jones-style) drummer who was the perfect foil for Jimi and probably one of the few drummers who could really complement the MAN.Ginger Baker.much more of a conventional skins man who could lay down a good groove for Eric's much more traditional blues eat timing and could hit hard too.Mitch and Ginger were mates and were part of the old London drummers group.Noel Redding.not a bass player at all actually Ken, but very innovative with a great fluidity that also complemented Jimi and Mitch.Jack was and is one of the great 4 stringer slingers and he would have been good playing with Jimi but in a different way to Noel.Jack used to play the old upright bass and like Mitch was also very jazz influenced. Hey Ken Mitchell - cool down man.what's all this Baker was better than Mitchell and Bruce was better than Rediding crap.you sound like an adolescent.therefore I doubt that you actually saw Hendrix or the Cream live in the 60's.I was there man and we used to have those kind of stupid 'who is the best' conversations, but we grew out of that years ago.ok man if you want comparisons rather than who is better than who here goes from someone who really did see the JHE and the Cream numerous times.Hendrix: nobody ever did it wasn't about being technical with wasn't even about the was the feeling and what's between the notes.Eric was a great student of the guitar and a real virtuoso (still is in fact) but Jimi was the master and he practically re-invented the guitar.but I suppose Ken that you have actually done a study of them both to se who played fastest.or maybe you will now tell me that Ritchie Blackmore played faster than both of them on 'Speed King'. Jimi Hendrix was a rock god and still is in my bedroom, he was an amazin guitar player and is my personal favourite.
