Excellent point. IMHO, Jerry Cantrell is Alice in Chains. Think of the best works from AiC, and Jerry is the fountainhead of it all. Jar of Flies, self-titled, any other great AiC song, and Jerry was it. Got to see Jerry and crew in concert, and it was all AiC without any Layne drama.

Edit: ty for the link TwinEngine. I do appreciate the mark it has had on music, but I just don't think how it is played on RP is the same as how it was intended. Ray's vocals are very far in the background. I can't imagine there is a problem with my certain feed, but his vocal track is not balanced with the rest of the tracks? A.K.A. I have to strain to hear him, where the rest of it all pipes thru very well...any comments?

I agree the technical aspect is superb, and distinctly Hendrix, but Crockydile has a good point that the artist doesn't have a prerequisite rating. Very, very skillful noise it is, and I enjoy it very much. I can't agree with his 3 rating; songs like this I abstain from voting, much like most jazz.

When you rate music, it shows up in your profile. According to when you hear it, it creates a list. Normally, it is very random (like Bill's playlist), but this gentleman Excelsior would go into an artist song catalog, and instantly rate a bunch 1's without the randomness we enjoy here at RP. Just a chopping block of 1's for him. Personally, I will listen to every Dylan or Bruce Spring-whoever song on RP, and then give it the usual 1 thru 5. I'm biased myself, but please give each song a shot. Right now the Cure is playing; a band I could not stand a few years ago is starting to grow on me.
