i think his "out of tune" moments just enhance his music personaly. After all IMO the most basic principle you need to follow to create good music is the balance of continuity and dissonance. In fact that rule applies to all art forms

hendrix deffineatly had good control of that

agreed but there is a huge difference between using deliberate dissonance/atonality in a piece and aiming for a note, and falling short or even over stepping, and causing dissonance.

To a degree though yes the falling short, the risks he and others of his ilk took when playing is nothing short of couragous. Sometimes it worked amazingly other times it fell flat on its arse...but yes that is certainly the perverse charm of it...

and great discussion everyone. I have really learned some interesting percpectives

If you don't think Jimi had any influnce on Metal and guitar as a whole you my friend are the newb .....
You sound like the people who fail to appreciate the impact Randy had on music. Jimi was a great musician love him or hate him any one should respect his impact.
Comparing Jimi and Randy is really kinda hard kinda like saying Johnny cash sux and Dio was better. its two very diffrent styles in my opinion. If Jimi brought people to the guitar then he did way more than you have or ever will zmack.

Randy designed his polka dots on his Flying V. Jimi Hendrix hand painted his Flying V:

Come on kiddies, let's be friends here.
Some of us like Hendrix and think he did this that and the other thing, while others don't. Let's move on, I say.

You are such a child. Blue Cheer fathered Metal so they are important. You are narrow-minded and think of Sabbath as the originators and Hendrix as nothing. All little newbie metalheads think Sabbath was the first metal band because they sound closer to modern metal than the rest. When you grow up and begin to experience reality, you'll see how far off the mark you are.

Open your mind.

I've taken several music history courses in college thus far, and all the text books, when it comes to 'heavy metal' they all state that it was Black Sabbath that pretty much started the movement. I agree with them. Most metal bands today, if you ask who they think started it all, they would say Sabbath. That's what I myself base my opinion on, what the bands today think.
But I suppose at the end of the day, to go back and forth over who started what, it can get to the point where we are discussing whether or not it was Ogg the caveman or Thogg the caveman who started music way back when. 'Tis a bit silly really.
