F Hendrix, F Metallica, F Led Zeppelin.

Jimi was a pioneer, nobody should dispute that. But as far as speed and skill, sorry. I would bet my life on Reid every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

You'd lose.  No one who knows anything at all about music would rank Vernon Reid as a better guitarist than Jimi Hendrix.  This is so far from right that it isn't even arguable.

But as no one said, you are certainly entitled to prefer Reid over Hendrix, but to say that he's a better guitarist in any measurable way is just nonsense.

HA!

If Hendrix and Reid were musically in a Ultimate Fighting death cage match, Reid would kick Hendrix ass.
