From the Jimi Hendrix Experience's American debut at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival: If anything more electrifying in the world of music has ever been captured on film or video, I'd like to see it.

no fair, hendrix is legend, but here goes

...Satriani's very good, but that's not quite what I'm on about.
With Hendrix, it seems there was always a sense....A "What in the hell could he possibly do next to blow our minds?" thing, ya know...Very improvisational, that ability to instantly act in just the appropriate way at just the right time. Follow?
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
Hendrix paved the road .... everybody else was just driving on it.

Hendrix did this way back in '67...and with talent & genius to spare.
Amazing players came later...but most, if not all, owe a great debt to Jimi.
...and I've gotta say that while there are modern players like Joe Satriani and Eddie Van Halen who are amazingly technically proficient, they seem to me to play without a ton of heart and/or soul.The ability to kill small animals with fingering might impress some, but, to me, it's more important to get the emotion of the song across, and just as often as not, that means playing less notes, more slowly, than more and faster.
Just sayin'...
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
which is why something like Little Wing
resonates so much, its from another time and place .... you cant compare it with anything else.

I've often used the word feeling to describe both. Jimi had all of the above.
"No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master." - Hunter S. Thompson
most everyone goes on about jimi's guitar playing, which was awesome, but, but, i love his voice; to me, hendrix's singing is just as much of an attraction. all in all, jimi hendrix is right up there with the greats, miles davis, billy holiday, mancini, etc. etc. seems strange mentioning mancini but hendrix was every bit the consummate professional as any of them.
:D

... I love SRV and Eric Johnson, but like unicorns and Santa Claus, theres actually no such thing as a
Hendrix cover
* this man completely invented "Rock" guitar... from using cranked Marshall Amps and taking a myriad of effects to completely new sonic landscapes... but ABOVE ALL USING A GUITAR ORIGINALLY DESIGNED IN 1954. The Strat was designed as a Country Swing guitar with a solid body that would not feed-back ...Hendrix took that and turned the world around.

of Gregorian/Byzantine chant:
Hilliard Ensemble - Missa Pange Lingua: Sanctus & Benedictus
Kanon Anastaseos - Greek Orthodox Byzantine Chant
I have a master mix on my iPod of Gregorian/Byzantine/Coptic chant, Renaissance music, Paganini, and Mozart that I play at night to get to sleep.
The Gregorian chant used to be one way of rebelling as a teen. It's hard to rebel against baby boomer parents musically. ;)

are teenagers, blaring rock music to rebel just won't cut it. :P
This is a nice song, never heard it before. :)
Edit - Gosh darn it, this was meant for Daddio! :P
"The greatest tyranny is censoring information in order to be better able to control people." - Cristina Saralegui
Blaring music is one way to rebel, it's all a matter of how badly one want's to get a point across. Passively or aggressively and how passionate the parents are to understand the difference. Every home comes with it's own set of rules. Seeing is the only way to fly.

That girl at the end sure didn't seem to be expecting Jimi to be, uhm, making love to his guitar.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
I feel extremely fortunate to have seen Jimi and The Experience 6 times. It was always remarkable. The thing that people who never saw him live might not know is the incredible volume that he played at. It was the loudest music I've ever heard in my life. It was just awesome. Imagine if he had lived even 10 more years.
how lucky you were to even have seen him once, nevermind 6 times!
Indeed...imagine if he had lived more years...what wonderment we might have heard.
-- where he fluidly sweeps up and down the neck from above -- in the mirror a thousand times throughout middle and high school, after watching my VHS of this. But in the end I was in a shoegazer band and never got to use it nor feel cool.
Not guitar, but if the section of this starting at about 3:20 doesn't rip your soul out, I don't know what will...

I always thought that was one of the most embarrassing episodes of cheap showmanship from Hendrix ever captured on film.
This is the most horrible example of the genius of Jimmy Hendrix.
In fact he only played "Wild Thing" as a slap in the face to ignorant masses
and out of frustration over the pop music industry.
Hendrix was the equivalent of the French impressionist and post
modern giants that changed art forever.
It wasn't the car crash antics that was Jimmy's genius.
That was show business, cheap theatrics to try to get some cash flow.
At the time of this performance the 3 of them were still sharing a hotel room and
paying for their own wardrobes while Chas Chandler was getting filthy rich off Experience.
It breaks my heart that someone unfamiliar with Jimmy would see this video as a representation
of his work. If your one of them grab your headphones and dig up Wind Cries Mary, Little Wing
Axis, Fire etc. He was not a maniac. He was a sensitive genius and inventor.
The A-tonal discord opening of Purple Haze (E against an Eb ) ....un-charted territory.
Pure inspired art.
. Noe I'm late for work!
Just sayin'...
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
Jimi is just having some fun, turning his axe into a psychedlic synthesizer, parodying and exalting rock pop at the same time. Love that little nod to "strangers in the Night".
How old were you in 1967? It may look like cheap showmanship now but then it was a revolutionary act, a destroyer of paradigms, it was the warning shot across the bows that told the straight world that many of us weren't going to play their games ever again. We were sick of the war (sound familiar?), angry at racial injustice (sound familiar?), unwilling to allow women to be second-class citizens (sound familiar?), and worried about how we were raping the planet (...) JImi taught us that the straight world was all illusion, all game, and that we got to play it the way we wanted to play it. What he did 45 years ago has become iconic and in some ways the opposite of what it was then: an act of incendiary and electrifying libido.
Other great guitarists Alex Lifeson, Brian May, David Gilmore, Edgar Froese, Steve Howe, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Carlos Santana, Satriani's already been mentioned, Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Randy Rhodes.
I know my electric guitar.
Is it the 21st century yet?
My parents hated this was my favorite song as a kid:

Diabolus est Deus Inversus
There was an argument about who was going to play first The Who or Hendrix. Since both groups were so intense they thought that who ever went second would be be at a disadvantage. Townsend was also already pissed at Hendrix because he saw Hendrix's guitar smashing act as ripping off Townsend. Hendrix lost and had to go on second but he yelled something to Townsend like "if I'm going to follow you I'm going to pull out all the stops"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeRbmfC5shw&fe...
The key factor? At the beginning, he pauses to get the audience's attention, saying, can you hear this, can you hear me out there - (as if there were EVAR any doubt!) - that's compassion right there!
That's where the true greats rise above the merely awesome.
