Jimi Hendrix was a master musician. He also played with his teeth, humped his stacks, set his guitar on fire, dressed wildly...etc. People came to hear him play, and people also came to see his show. He certainly was noticed and had fans because of both. Eric Clapton however isn't noted for his showmanship or wild antics. I could definitely see Jimi using a wall of fake Marshalls, but not Eric. There is room for both in Rock and Roll. Gene Simmons certainly thinks the show is more important and Carlos Santana thinks it is the music. You'll never get total agreement so I think you just have to be true to yourself on stage. If you are a showman, you do what you think will entertain. If you're not, your show will be more a music only thing.
