Gnat--whats your take on the Stones covers?

If they were only known for doing covers, then they would be the same as SRV.

it's not about liking someone, gnat. it's about being able to make a coherent, reasonable argument. i enjoy a good give and take, but i think your opinion and ability to defend your position is warped based on some intense, subjective dislike for srv, rather than a reasoned analysis.....

He did some of his own material too. Also some blues standards and covered other artists apart from Hendrix. You really should try to get your facts right before you go shooting your mouth off. He respected Hendrix, but was not obsessed with him (as you seem to be).

I guess that means Clapton would've offed himself if SRV had shown up at that session...
