I've heard many names thrown out about this. The most probable if it was said is Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. Funny this show Billy was on didn't spell his name right. They left the S off the end. Here is really what Jimi said. A very humble answer! Of course the point of this video is to show that Jimi is not recorded anywhere saying who he thought was "the best". His humbleness shows when he says, "how about the best sitting in this chair". Which means whoever sat in it next could be the best. I shouldn't have to spell it out like this but so many responses here are so ignorantly missing the point!
