Bill Nelson of BeBop Deluxe reminded me of Hendrix especially on some of the live stuff...making a guitar sound like a seagull cry on "Sister Seagull", on the LIVE IN THE AIR AGE recording. I saw a LITAA concert back in 1977. For the second encore, Bill did a cover of "Purple Haze". I don't mean to sound sacrilegious, but other than the vocals, you'd swear that the spirit of Hendrix had come back and was playing guitar. To this day, I still can't believe what I heard on that night in Miami!
What Guitarists Remind You Of SRV Or Hendrix?
I never had the chance to see either live but I own many studio and bootleg recordings by both. I have had the pleasure of seeing a handful of players that reminded me of them, these include Chris Duarte, Mato Nanji of Indigenous, Bill Perry, and Kenny Wayne Sheperd. If you get a chance to see any of these guys you will not be disappointed.
