I tend to agree. I have been making an exception for some SRV this week tho.
I read a really funny piece on a guitar mag website that introduced SRV in the context of the mid-80s pop music scene something along the lines of "He didn't need any gimmicks or a flock of seagulls haircut to make his point, he was raw/the real deal" etc blah blah: cut to Stevie on stage wearing a giant wide brimmed hat, absurd dangly earings, feathers in his janky ponytail, indian necklace, baggy pants tucked into cuban heeled pointy cowboy boots, playing solos behind his back and generally mugging it up a treat. No gimmicks there then.
