Quoted from vid1900:He's got an IQ of 79, so he's not as dumb as everyone thinks.
His magic is that he has found a very narrow demographic to enthusiastically worship him. Like Mo White on the US version of Shameless.
Damn Vid, don't hold back. give it to us straight.
Quoted from pinzrfun:Fun fact: George Lynch is his uncle. I'm sure he picked up a few pointers at family reunions.
From a couple weeks back in Belgium. Great guitarist and really pulling the weight in priest now.

This reminded me of M Shencker,Both Mikes use the V and long Blond hair.My 1st guitar was an epihone flying V because of this guy.I still have it .Couldnt afford the expensive model then but its a player for sure.
It was a mix: Arlen Roth (Maccio's tutor), Steve Vai, Cooder on the slide stuff and Bill Kanengiser (classical)
Quoted from Azmodeus:As I sit here and listen, I pick Hendrix. In life I am trying to be bold as love. Hendrix is the man.
The guitar seems connected to him.
& who did Hendrix idolize? ---- Dick Dale, that's right.
Other musicians worshipped him
Rock legends from Jimi Hendrix to Stevie Ray Vaughan, and from the Beach Boys to Queen, revered Dick Dale and regularly named him as a central influence. "RIP Dick Dale - Father of the Surf Guitar. We all owe you. Rock on," wrote Queen guitarist Brian May on Instagram, after hearing the news of his death.
"I'm sorry to hear about Dick Dale passing," wrote Beach Boys guitarist Brian Wilson. "Dick's guitar playing was a big influence on all of us, and we covered Misirlou on our Surfin' USA album in '63. Love & Mercy to Dick's family."

Hendrix allegedly was also a big fan of Billy Gibbons.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Hendrix allegedly was also a big fan of Billy Gibbons.
Supposedly he said that on The Tonight Show
But I've watched every TV clip of Jimis, and I've never heard him mention Gibbons...it's almost like the internets invent stories propping up every old guitarist with Jimis seal of approval

I was lucky enough to catch Dick live about 10-12 years ago in a small venue. Great show!
I have this behind me as I'm looking at this thread in a sitting down position 
IMG_20220904_083039393~2 (resized).jpgNever saw Dick Dale, but I did catch Link Wray in a small club a few months before he passed. Pretty cool to see the man who invented the power chord and made possible all the music I loved as a longharied heathen. Also got to see Chuck Berry in a tiny basement club, when he still had a little spunk left in the tank. Without those guys we'd probably all be listening to music influenced by Lawrence Welk.
