Jimi Hendrix - Rape Board

shysnale · 07-26-2006, 10:15 AM

I never never understood why so many people gave Hendrix the best credit ever. I mean I tried to listen to some of his stuff, ok, it's not bad, but I would never call him the best player ever as Malmsteen, Satriani and so many other does. What's wrong with me ? Am I deaf ? When I'm listening to the Who, the Stones, then ok, they have left their mark, and today's music probably wouldnt be the same without them, but Hendrix......please help me understand...

Don't feel bad. I never understood why he was so over the top either. There are far too many tastes in music to understand why any one person could rise to such fame. But then again, many people have never understood the appeal of Elvis either.

It's good to know I'm not the only one.
You know I agree we owe a lot to our elders.
If the black people didn't come up with the blues back to slavery times, then Chuck Berry or Jerry Lee Lewis could never have found the essential roots for the first rock'n'roll songs, then 80% of what we hear on the radio today would remain as a dream..

When I'm listening to 50's rock'n'roll, it really touches me. I can feel the newness, the freshness of it, even as a hard rock fan. But hendrix....I don't know...it sounds marshmallow to me...sometimes I wonder if as music fans we are getting 'mind control' influences by those music history folks that try to tell us what we are capable or not capable to enjoy....

I steer clear of the too now, but believe it or not, my teenage daughter and her boyfriend are into them. They have been having me download some of their music. I really never figured that music would come back around again, but seems it has.

OK, are these actual bands, or made up names? I've never heard any of these names before. If they're real, they really must be outrageous.

Yes, Iron Butterfly sings the song Mississippi Queen! As for the rest of the bands, I've never heard of them, well Blue Cheer sounds familiar but couldn't tell you any songs. I will check gal's links.

Try again, Iron Butterfly did "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida". Mountain did Missippi Queen.

And FYI, the song was originally suppose to be "In the Garden of Eden", but the writer was dead drunk when his bandmates asked "what's the song called?", and "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" came out. They liked it better and it stuck after he sobered up.

You're right, well it's been a long time since I've heard either!

I usually run about 12 laps around a park lake. Come home dead sweaty, and tired, and that is about it.
And listen and get completely zonked out.

TheOpportunist · 08-06-2006, 04:01 PM

If you don't consider Led Zeppelin and/or Pink Floyd great, I have to wonder wether you like rock and if you do, what do you consider to be 'great'?

Hendrix was great because he was a groundbreaker; even if malsteem is good technically, he wouldn't have been as good if he didn't have Jimi and Uli's shoulders to stand on.

OK virgin, you obvously have never seen them live; I have; granted it was minus Roger Waters but it was still the same sound. They're spot on with the sound of there music transferred from cd to stage perfomance. I loved it and this was in 1993, there last tour. David Gilmour has beautiful guitar licks. It was in Tampa Stadium and it was standing room only. There were some serious stoners there and I was one of them; at that time. I love Page as well, he was also a pioneer on guitar, from the yardbirds to Zeppelin he was great. As far as the radio stations whoring Floyd, well, radio stations tend to play whatever draws the listeners. I don't listen to radio much at all, as it's the same song every hour on the hour. I only like one song by Joplin, Take another piece of my heart, that's it. She's not my cup'o tea, but she has influenced many females and probably males too. I like Chrissy Hines/the Pretenders, Pat Benatar, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, some Joan Jett/the Runaways, and the Cranberries. There are probably other females that I would like but just not familiar with. Not arguing or disagreeing with you just wanted to point out that Floyd has a very Large fan base.
