Any Hendrix fans here

[Lardlad95]

I recently bought hendrix's Electric Lady land. Man that album is like on of the best albums I've ever heard. I liked Hendrix before but theres just something about his music now thats deep. Why he was considered rock I don't know, alot of his stuff sounded like blues

[MJM]

He's good I like his way out stuff.

Hendrix rocks... most rock came from blues anyway, if you look at a lot of the bands around that time they had a lot of blues elements.

[Lefty]

HENDRIX IS GOD!

[Guest1]

deffinately, man, kick ass.

[Lefty]

do you know that when he played the national anthem at woodstock that was entirely improvised? god he was a genious

by the way his best album was "Are You Experienced" with the Jimi Hendrix experience .... personal opinion

[Fires of History]

He is by far one of the greatest guitar players ever.

Making up the Holy Trinity:

Hendrix, Page, Clapton.

BOW TO THEE!

[MJM]

I forgot to say, he was in BB Kings band when he was young.
I don't relly like Clapton much myself.
Page and Hendrix, right on.

[Son of Scargill]

Jimi lives....well,at least whenever I listen to him.

Years ago a friend had a dodgy rcording of just him and his guitar,playing in some small club somewhere.Mainly blues,the recording was awful.Like listening to someone playing underwater,but his brilliance still shone through.What a man!

Im weird, i know i am, but a good guitarist doesnt always mean good music. Some of his stuff is ok, some is good, some is bad; but just because the man could play guitar he is called a God.

MJM,

I meant Clapton during the Cream period. Afterward just got too soft rock for me.

[I Will Deny You]

Hendrix is one of the best guitarists of all time. But he was an awful singer.

[Lardlad95]

your kidding. There are different types of singing you know. He sounded like a blues singer, and a very good one at that

And to Zippy, yes he was known for his great guitar playing skills but that isn't the only reason people like him. his lyrics were incredible and he was a great composer

[deadpool 52]

Are You Experienced?

Electric Ladyland

Axis: Bold as Love

these are all the cds i have of him, however the Hendrix movie offered great insight of what his messages were.

His best song was written by Bob Dylan, so his lyrics arent that amazing. But all music is relevant to opinion - you can have yours and i shall hold mine. :)

[Lardlad95]

I wish I had never read what you said....but you have a right to your opinion. Its sad you can't ppreciate Hendrix like most people but hey it isn't my place to judge

[Fires of History]

His best song of all time, in my opinion, was 1983...(A Merman I Should Turn To Be).

Warning: Never listen to 1983 stoned and on acid while watching random muted anime if you plan on returning to what you remember as 'reality.'

Dont patronize me. I appreciate Hendrix for the music he made but im not of the mould of "great guitar snobbery." The man could pluck strings on a piece of wood, it doesnt make him a great artist.

Plus, most people are musical fools. Britney Spears has 3 gold albums and you tell me i cant appreciate music like most people. Id much rather be a minority in situations like that.

I don't think he sounded like a good singer. Don't get me wrong, I have a whole bunch of his records and a few of his CDs. He was one of the greatest musicians of the 60's, if not all time. But a blues singer? I'm sorry, but I just don't buy that.

[alphaq]

Hendrix was definately a blues singer... speaking of which i in the holy trinity mentioned above i would replace page with Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Any, just muted, with Hendrix jammin in the background. That just happened to be the combination that day. We couldn't turn the volume up because the remote was over by the TV but the floor had turned to water, so we couldn't make it. 1983, to me, is the ultimate acid song.

Most people in America are fools when It comes to music. I'm in the minority just like you. I mean I listen to everything but pop, mainstream rap, country, and metal. Right now I'm listening to this old black portugese lady whos name I can't even pronounce.

All I'm saying is that HEndrix's music wasn't just as shallow as "music" it was deeper. But hey I mean you have a right to your opinion. I mean I don't think the beatles where all they were hyped up to be and some classic rock feinds were shocked at what i said. But hey everyone likes different music...unless you like britteny spears, in which case you like bad singing digitized to music...bad music at that, which Britteny didn't even write her self.

I watched her jiggle on Channel4 this morning, does that count has being a fan ? :)

[Lardlad95]

hell no, that means you are jsut like th reast of us...we want to look at them and have them shut the hell up. I mean There are plenty of girls I can't stand to talk to but they look good as hell. like this girl Vanessa, she's a ***** but i'd still fuck her if I had the chance

[suffianr]

Man, I went through this hippie phase right after high school, the usual experimental-drug-abuse-and-shag-any-chick-that-comes-my-way-and-music-is-everything lifestyle thingy, and I listened to nothing but Jimi four almost half a year, until I could wake up and hear the guitar solo on Voodoo Chile echoing through my head...but that was probably because of the drugs...but Jimi is up there, man! Jimi IS rock 'n' roll, junior.

[I Bow 4 Che]

K Ive said it once and I will say it again, Jimi Hendrix WAS an amazing guitar player it was unbelievable how many chills down my spine he gave me just from hearing him play. he was a god he was "the" guitar player, but you must not forget that once he died people started going past him, getting better, this does not change the fact that he was an amazing guitar player, but it does change the fact that hes the best

[pce]

i think it's in "are you experienced" (the song) where he says (something along these lines):

have you ever been experienced/
not necessarily stoned, but beautiful/
i have/
here let me show you.../
(then a crazy, awesome solo follows)

how friggin awesome is that?!

Yeah, except for me it is Machine Gun.

[Lefty]

its all about...shit, every song. I think that Castles Made of Sand was the best though. He did write that, right?

[Carl]

Hendrix is to music like karl marx was to marxism!!! Fuck Hitler

[deadpool 52]

That is one of his best.

I have istened to Electric Ladyland and Axis: Bold as Love so many times straight through and still not that sick of the songs.
Every track is a great one.
