I'm not big on metal, and I do get illfavor's dislike of the eg, too many people play that instrument badly. The vast majority of eg based music is crap, imo. Jimi is far and away the best guitarist that ever lived, but then again I much much prefer blues to rock, so his style suits my taste so much more. Having said that, I can dig some AC/DC, so I'm not totally against that sort of thing. Radiohead and early Muse are also incredible, Floyd are pretty damn good, the Who are out of this world, and on the few occasions the Beatles picked up and eg, they were really good songs too, like Helter Skelter for example. But most eg music is utter shite, just noise.
But Jimi... that man turned the eg into something else. Seriously, the guy was a genius, and I don't use that word lightly when referring to musicians.
