Mad Max, I'll have to agree with you on that. I'm glad I got to see him live with the Experience, and only $5!!

he was so far ahead of his time it is crazy. without him rock music wouldnt have evolved like it did. he was the first to use controlled feedback, overdriven distortion,aggresive tremelo bar techniques,etc. it makes you wonder what would have happened had he lived.

Hey Surfrat,
Im jelous!! You actually got to see the legend!! I have several books on Jimi, and one said that from the edge of his palm, to the tip of his middle finger, it measured 9 inches!! Thats why guitar playing came so easy for him. I used to hate my middle name, until I found out that Jimi has the same middle name as me.
All I can say is gentlemen---I MISS THE 60s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Hollowpointred,
I like to think that if he had lived ,maybe we would still have the type of rock n roll we grew up with.--or something close. And just think Surfrat got to see him for 5 bucks!! Its a shame Noel Redding, and Mitch Mitchell arent in the buissness anymore. Ill bet Monterey Pop wasa blast!!---------Max

I'm storing my friends large vinyl collection. I bought an interface to hook a turntable to the computer. Over about a year I filled up a big hard drive !! My teenager would come down and listen while I was recording. He asked why that old music was so much better than todays. I told him its because they had TALENT!!!!

Now I'm going to have to go downstairs and listen to "Machine Gun"

I want a time machine

i think there is still talent out there, its just that you never get to hear it. corporate america is now running the record industry and they have ruined what used to be a creative business. now days bands get signed according to a "system" of what the record company ( guys in suits who "think" they have an idea) thinks will make money. thats whay so many bands these days sound the same. no one wants to take a chance on something that "doesnt fit the mold" so to speak. god forbid we color outside of the lines! bands now days had better produce big money on thier first album or else you wont ever hear a second one. thats why there will never be another led zeppelin or pink floyd. the labels dont want to develop an act like they did back in the day. it has to be instant results. its a shame really. the good ol days are truely gone as far as music goes.

I think you nailed it. Corporate profits, not creativity

 

[mad max]

Amen gentlemen, I just got done listening to Voodoo Chile, and The Star Spangled Banner

I have been Referring to most music these
days as Disposable. You listen to it
on the radio & move on. No reason to Buy,
it isn't worth listening to again anyway.

All bands that were successful in the 60's & 70's were all completely different from each other. Then disco came along and every thing changed.

you met jimi? i met noel redding in the late 80s. he was one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet. not what i would expect from a rockstar. he was very humble.

I got to see Mitch Mitchell perform quite a few years back... unfortunately, I was too young for Hendrix live. He was playing with a white boy hendrix impersonator. Randy something, I can't remember.

Post that LP aabattery

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Hendrix was the greatest, and the early days of heavy metal beats anything produced today. Hendrix, Doors, Joplin, Cream, Mountain, Led Zep and the bands that followed in their footsteps.

I have little use for most of what they are now calling music today.
