Sure, well what I mean is you can listen to Jimi (at least what I've heard) and you sort of get the idea that you're listening to Jimi. I hear people try to say he was Jazz-like now and again but I never really bought it.

I will say he has his own sound, and I don't want to disparage him, I like him, but BH is all over the map. Jimi to me was working his sound like a punching bag, BH seems to be trying to create new aural landscapes. This may be a time thing, I don't know how boundry-pushing Hendrix was because I wasn't alive when he was new, but in relative terms, he's got less in his bag of tricks than BH does.

Again, I don't think they're comparable so making this comparison unintentionally diminishes what Hendrix did.
