Jimi's music just connects so well, so completely, so trippily to other worlds, other realms, other phases of Energy Flow, and I'm so glad he still lives here on RP!

Electric Ladyland, Side C.

My one and only "11".
It is not "Godlike." It is, indeed, voiced directly from the Gods.

Jimi was simply a genius.  One who made some bad choices and died way too young.

A GREAT Snopes article on what really went down when Hendrix opened for the Monkees.  I never really got into Hendrix's music, but my Aunt Janet fell into his lap one evening in Arizona...

JIMI.  Wow, as I listen to this, I get caught in my own feedback as my brain tells me this is from the 60's and my heart and ears tell the ole' brain that there's some really cool, new sounding tunes coming down the pike!  I wish Jimi was still with us — it's hard to imagine what else he would given us, but we know it would set the bar incredibly high.

I agree about the album but, although this song is definitely one of my 4 or 5 favorites, both Voodoo Chile's always blow me away everytime in a more visceral way than this one does, much as I love it. And give me the 13-minute version every time!

Humming into a comb with wax paper sounds almost like humming into a kazoo, but the latter instrument has a tube with a lateral orifice over which a vibrating membrane is attached.

Always loved this one, a little long though. I will usually play half of it and then move on to something else. Didn't know there was a shorter version or did Bill just do the same thing?{#Lol} 8!

Read the article, not just the status.  Hendrix DID open for the Monkees.  He just wasn't dropped for the reason the false rumor stated.  Very cool bit of story there, and some great quotes!

Nice.  I was just thinking about this very song in the previous PT number, and how PT comes up somewhat short in comparison.

I bet every one of the guitarists I mentioned would laugh if anyone told them they were "technically better" than Jimi. Jimi wasn't after technique, he was after music. And man that guy could play!
