While Jimi Hendrix was a great guitarist, think about it, if he lived today would any of his later albums be as well recieved by fans? Yeah the older stuff will always be praised, but sooner or later Jimi is going to run out of creativity. It's kinda what happened to Pearl Jam for me, I love them but their newer stuff is just decent, I will always remember them as the band that made Ten and not Backspacer.No. Eric Clapton's fans seem to go along with whatever he does next. Jimi was a better guitarist and not far off on vocals. True, forgot about Clapton. If Hendrix did live he'd have a higher possibility of ending up like Clapton than Kurt would, I do agree to that.

I think any band/musician who dies or breaks up earlier than they could have if one or two members lived is always going to be considered "legendary" just because of their deaths. I mean, I love Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, and all of them could have gone on longer if someone didn't die, but if those members who died lived, wouldn't they just be considred "has-beens" nowadays?
