Whoever said Jimi Hendrix did not continue to grow during his short career needs to go back and do some listening.....compare Are You Experienced to the album he was working on when he died, The Cry Of Love, and you can definetly hear the new influences Jimi was taking into his playing. Even the Band of Gypsys Live album is evidence of that. He was scheduled to go into the studio w/Miles Davis prior to his untimely death. The man was a musical genius.

David Gilmour did great justice w/Pink Floyd....the 4 guys sounded great together. I have heard Gilmour on some callaboration stuff, mainly blues, and it was highly dissapointing. He does what he does well, but like Santana, has not grown much as a musician. So therefor, in my opinion, has become highly predictable as a guitar player.I think the main thing that saves his credibility is that he did not release a plethora of material over his 30yr career, so as listeners we never got burned out on his sound (unlike Santana).
