Well I have given it a generous 4 - does that help? I seriously can't understand peoples appeal of this track. I'll defend their right to have their opinion of course, but compared to, well, virtually anything played on RP this (to me) is flat, dull, and drones on and on and on. |

Yet another fine effort from Jimi! Shame he didn't record a few more albums...  |

Jimi would have turned 70 last week. I wonder if he'd still be making Kick-Ass songs like this one if he were still alive?

Drugs have bought me a lot of musical pleasure....................by the people that have used them........ |

Yeah, especially when you feel you have to use drugs to the extent he did.
An alternative to the sophomoric moralism may be a closer read of these lyrics for an insight into Jimmy being Jimmy. |

Like many artist, the well was surely going to dry up eventually.

(And oh yes, this song is a 10 for me).
I can think of two solutions. One would be a macro on the site to prevent ratings from haters, defined as those whose average, or current rating, is greater that 2 standard deviations away from the current mean response for a song. The other would be facism..All Hail Bill!!!..NOW |
