Early death always makes someone better then they are.
Or way overated.
Look at dimebag.

But then look at the bassist from the who (can't remember his name) see, he died, and he isn't idolized like Hendrix

I should've been more percise.
For the most part death makes people overated.
Sometimes they pass away unnoticed.
For instance Joey Ramone is an amazing vocalist...yet no one cares.

True and good idea with using Dimebag because I'm tired of reading my monthly Guitar World and reading the little soap box that is full of Dimebag letters and all the articals. He was good but not worthy of all of that stuff.

Goods underating him a bit he was a great guitarist and i'd put him in my top 20.
But all the freaking out over his death is a bit "meh, shutup".
Hes not the best ever.

That's because:

1. Hendrix was a lead guitarist, whereas Entwistle played bass guitar--which is primarily an accompaniment instrument.

2. Hendrix died in his prime, whereas Entwistle was probably at least a quarter of a century past his.

I'm taking nothing away from Hendrix, but rock stars who die in their prime do tend to get put up on a higher pedestal than others.
