Ron you're comparing crap songs with great songs. The comparison i was making was to say who is the greater artist? lets say the Chili peppers are playing a concert, Frucianti misses a fret on stage, but he is the one who actually wrote the music, or the weeny in the crowd who has downloaded the music and can play it flawlessly, nevermind he can't actually create anything original?
Millers I can take criticism of my heros, but is at a concert really the place to do it?
But yes i do believe you fall into this category, you're defence as to why Hendrix is crap is that you can play all his songs too. The big question is can you write a piece of original music that is as good?
