Well,if you've got a guitar and an amp, you might as well piss the neighbors off.{#Roflol}

The Maestro... I just listened to Steve Earle talk about "Are You Experienced" and "Axis Bold As Love" coming out in the same year, 1967. Unreal...

If you're ever in Seattle, do yourself a favor and go see Paul Allen's gift to the world, The Experience Music Project. They've got a Hendrix exhibit there that is unbelievable.

It's funny how the electric guitar has been around for the 42 years since Hendrix died, and about that long before. There is not now, never has been, and never will be his equal. Here's to the best axe man who ever lived. {#Cowboy}

I think being 16 at the time and real acid helped make it a 10.

Come to think of it, I didn't know that e=fþ. But I see your point. It really is a shame. I may be slow but I eventually know sarcasm when I see it.

Andy Rooney of 60 Minutes fame, an amateur guitarist, said he heard Jimi play, I believe, at Altamonte.  And he said Jimi could play better with his toes than Andy could ever play on his best day.  Ah, Andy is good at other things.

Wonder where he would have gone with his music had he lived to a ripe old age of 50.

Everybody has a right to there opinion - why should we ever assume that someone else hears the meaning we do (or doesn't hear what we do not)? I could care less what someone else thinks - if a song moves me to shake and scream like a madman or reduces me to naked emotion and stirs me as deeply as I can imagine anything ever would (as this song always does no matter how many times I hear it) - or both, I like it no less if someone else doesn't feel any of that. It doesn't change a thing for me. I'm going to react the very same way the next time I hear it.

The closest thing to distilled genius from a man recognised and revered by his musical peers for his transformational impact on the future direction of rock music.

Don't attack the critic. They get their opinion, too.

Personally, I think this is a 10+

Perfection. I rarely resort to negativity on RP, but whoever voted Sucko Barfo above is on crack. There are a few artists who just seemed to land on this earth out of nowhere and capture the world. Hendrix was one of them. Like a nuclear freight train with no brakes...

The whole album sounds best though headphones or a really good stereo with good speaker placement.

Nope, 59% of RP listeners give it a 10.  I have noticed women tend to not like Hendrix as much as men for some reason.

Being an amateur athlete I'm always looking for music to amp up before a race. I've used a number of tunes over the years but this always returns to my playlist. It's not as hard-driving as, say, Fishbone's "Modern Industry" but it has an intensity that's hard to match.

I think he was only 27 when he died.  Tragic.  He put out so much good music to that point and he would have continued to do so.  I always imagined him getting more into jazz and playing jazz well into his old age.

Fantastic song!  Jimi was definitely a musical genius.  His music is timeless.
