but facing which way!
Jimi also had a depth of composition that few players ever came close to. Albums like Band of Gypsies and Electric Ladyland have stood the test of time and the sheer volume of work he left behind is unreal for a 27 year old in a four year career span.
Sorry still don't see it myself, apart from a few hits, it's hardly a weath of music left behind.
Maybe you're right, you had to doped up on drugs to appreciate the horrible out of tune, out of time noise, as if you were sober you would have walked out.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
C'mon! Being made to watch the Lulu show with Mam and Dad, then Hendrix comes on wailing and squealing. It must have been like seeing a spaceship landing on the lawn!
Some of his live stuff is out of tune and even messy. But watch him at Isle of White, and he's just got that aura. SRV had it too. When the eyes close and he's off soloing in his own world, at one with the gear.
His recorded stuff speaks for itself. To go from a whisper to a scream and all steps in between. People are spending fortunes trying to capture that elusive tone, that he got out of whatever was lying around.
Every one now can hit the net and have the whole world of guitar effects delivered next day. Then turn up at the show and indulgently wah and whammy away (I'll be sticking some of it in at a wedding tomorrow). But Jimi did it first. He was the start of moving the guitar to the front of the stage and making it cool to wail. As well as inspiring every single player that I like. So for that Jimi, I am very grateful!
