Tell you what the MAIN reason really is .... they can't play it like Jimi did.
Eric Clapton may be a douchebag but I've seen him play and I promise you he's a fantastic rock/blues guitarist.... who in HIS OWN WORDS completely sucks compared to "Little Jimi Hendrix". (and this was when Clapton was in his prime with Cream)
“Clapton stood there, and his hands dropped off of the guitar. He lurched off the stage. I thought, ‘Oh God, it’s happening now.’ I went backstage, and he was trying to get a match to a cigarette. I said, ‘Are you alright?’ and he replied, ‘Is he that fucking good?’He had heard ten bars at the most. Within a week, he had his hair frizzed and would come by our flat anytime that he had a spare moment, to be with Hendrix.”
