Mind Drive: When Hendrix are in his prime time, Petrucci have: 1 year old!!
Did you realize the time between 1968 when Hendrix was playing and when Petrucci record his first DT record???
Did you realize that compare guitarist of different time, is the most subjetive comparison of all?
Many Many guitarist and techniques evolves in that period of time...
After all is a matter of taste.
Vote for Hendrix if you ask me  |

Okay Petrucci is pretty ace and a superior technical guitarist I happily admit, but he'll never became quite the icon Hendrix did - I was around 12 years old when Hendrix first appeared on "Top of the Pops" and at that time (67-ish) no-one had seen or heard anything like him before.
I'm afraid dear old DT have a fair split of fanboys and detractors on this site. For me, I love Train of Thought. but not much else. But I am getting old  |
ofc hendrix was in his time something very special, unique and something noone had seen before. but as times changed petrucci now is even better technically - and yes - emotional ( i refer to an evening with JP and JR  ) so i think hendrix today is overrated. and itīs a matter of taste but i really didnīt get into his music as well as i did with petruccis soloing. for me petrucci wrote the most powerful and beautiful melodies.

I agree with you - Hendrix originals weren't earth-shattering, looking back. I genuinely admire Petrucci (and all of DT as musicians, no question about it) but for some reason only ToT does it for me (although I like quite a few individual tracks off other albums)..

Absolutely. I think that Zombie Zappa would be a great name and also would probably make some cool new music that no one has ever heard before as a result of being dead.
Alternatively we could call him Zappa the Zombie, which is just as cool, or Fred, which is not.
