There is 100% something up with Hendrix and glowniggers. He was whacked by his managers, and his estate was turned over to his half-step-sister, who has done her best to destroy Jimi's legacy by stifling any new unreleased content (especially guest appearances with other bands) and pushing the image of Jimi as some tacky SRV-prototype. Let's go through his IRL resume to get the real story...
>First recording was with The Isley brothers
>Fired by Ike Turner for playing too elaborate of solos
>Fired by Little Richard for upstaging him
>Noticed and sponsored by Brian Jones for his debut album
>Friends with Frank Zappa, Miles Davis, and Peter Green
>Worked/jammed/played with Tom Jones, Syd Barrett, Silver Apples, and Scott Walker, the Velvet Underground, and Robert Wyatt/Soft Machine
>Discovered and named Lemmy
>Discovered Billy Gibbons
>Discovered, mentored, and signed Chicago and Robert Fripp/King Crimson
To me, IRL Jimi was a eclectic, experimental guy who was moving toward progressive tendencies. You can hear it in his slow songs, especially. If 6 was 9 has the same high speed delay and whammy bar action as any My Bloody Valentine, and Angel modules smoothly between E major and F major for the whole song. If he had lived, he probably would have heavily dug guys like Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, etc.
