Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand?

Oi you :roll:

I prefer the version of Hey Joe from Winterland. Superb real heavy guitar version.  8)

Machine Gun - surely one of the greatest guitar solos ever

Surely one of the greatest examples of a self indulgent pointless hippy ego trip.

Sheepy - I deleted your reply.

Chill.  8)

why

i was very polite
i just pointed put why he shouldnt diss music he doesnt like, i was in a bit of a rage about his post, probably coz im pissed, but i dont think i was offensive or any thjink., afaik

This is a forum mate. Open to all to express their opinions (within reason). If you disagree with someone's POV then either argue the toss properly or ignore it.

Right - If you dont like jimi (may god have mercy on ya souls) then thats cool!!!!! ya dont understand or feel the power.

Right apologies for the following

voodoo chile(slight return) - woodstock excellent choice sheepster.

Hey Joe - Winterland - exellent choice (scotsman living in england)

All Along the watchtower - Dingo Which live version are you putting forth , he never really got this working live - but man some of the effects he got out of that guitar while trying was awesome.

Oldbloke - David Gilmour was a different style of guitar man - clean awesome control of notes and chords that defines what is "Pink Floyd". I love the floyd and "Shine on you crazy diamond" parts ALL was an inspiration and a joy to listen to. I also love the album "Animals" pigs , sheep and goats - fits in well with our clan member naming system!!!?

Smilodon - ?? it saddens me that one in our midst is vehemently opposed to musical inspiration and the power in live improvisation through the medium of electric guitar .... Jimi Hendrix "A Legend that will live forever in time"

Rad,
         never been heavily into Hendrix but I can appreciate a genius when I see one!!. Believe it was the IOW gig I saw on TV way back in the 70's and I was blown away!!  8)  :D

yep that was a good one, early on in the song he wasn't happy with the sounds that were coming out and he vented a bit of anger then he just blazed in all hendrix glory. Also outstanding version of machine gun followed and finished with "In from the storm" where he threw his guitar down and said "God bless and all that other good bullshit" and walked off stage. He was murdered a week later. (conspiracy theory)

QuoteSmilodon - ?? it saddens me that one in our midst is vehemently opposed to musical inspiration and the power in live improvisation through the medium of electric guitar .... Jimi Hendrix "A Legend that will live forever in time"

I'm not vehemently opposed to Jimi Hendrix. I just don't like listening to his music. I don't find anything inspirational in his guitar solos either. I don't deny that many disagree and that he has encouraged and inspired many to take up guitar and to go on to be famous themselves.

For me that whole sixties thing was something I'm glad I wasn't arround to be part of. While it may have played a part in shaping my world (which is debatable) looking back on the language, fashon and culture of that time just makes me laugh.

Although it was a marginally less rediculous period than the '70's which again I was thankfully too young to get caught up in.

That Hendrix could play guitar there is no doubt. That he could write quality songs is down to personal taste, which can't be universally right or wrong. It just an opinion a person holds. If you liked them then they were great and if you thought they were rubbish then they were indeed riubbish.

His guitar solos had, in my opinion, little or no musical merit. They may have been interesting to hear and it may have required a deal of talent to produce them, but they could just as easily be considered pointless sounds fueled by some Jim Morrisonesque drug induced on stage ego trip, egged on by an equally wasted crowd of posturing posing hippies all desparately trying to out cool and out weird each other. That scene had nothing to do with love and peace but was one glorious pissing contest to see who could be more cool and weird than the next guy.  

Of course my generation was no different and I was just as guilty of taking the ego trip as any hippy. Except for me it was Punk Rock that we listened to and Sid Vicious that we worshipped. It was all the same though. Everyone trying to be more Punk and more weird than the next person.

The only difference was we all knew it was a load of bollocks and didn't spend our time kidding ourselves that any of it was serious.

But then again maybe not eh  :wink:

I suppose its all about the history of the time that determined the social culture.

I also grew up in the early 80's and we use to pogo with the best of em , pistols, ramones , the clash , the damned etc etc but in that time we had no war , no oppression just plain boredom and that is what made punk. Back in the late 60's there was nam , racial inequality , unemployment and lots of drugs.

Then came the lame late 80's and early 90's - Sexually indeterminate keyboard sythesizing makeup freaks that were bored but had good access to drugs and KY jelly. exceptions (U2,Madness and other SKA bands) question to SS were you one of the above?

Anyways no offence taken and none given , but thx for the explanation.

QuoteI prefer the version of Hey Joe from Winterland. Superb real heavy guitar version. 8)

I liked the cover of hey joe by Bodycount :D

although one of the bnads I was in years ago covered purple haze and hey joe (JH versions) because our lead guitarist couldnt do rythm either :scrambleup: we had some songs where we had to plead with him to just play the solo and to not play certain bits in the rythm...

I agree and there were plenty of people who fought the injustices and bigotry that had taken over the US during the '50 and early sixties. Some of them were hippies and some of them weren't. And the ones who weren't seem to have done the most for civil liberties and personal freedom.

Smiley - given the contents of your car cd player with all of that commercial dance crap I simply cant take you seriously  :wink:

Apart from punk (which I admit has great merits) you're always telling me about those raves you went to - You grew up in an age where it was cool to wear a t shirt with a smiley yellow face (  :) ) and sing "Aciiiiid" in as high a pitch as humanly possible. Oh dear oh dear oh dear  :oops:

I think the music of the sixties and seventies has certainly aged much better than punk, with the definite exception of the Clash who still rock and wrote some great tunes, plus other notable singles by people like the buzzcocks.  

House music sucks.  Full stop.

QuoteSmiley -


[snip] Squeekies fantasy[/snip]

House music sucks. Full stop.

You just make it up as you go along don't you. I've never been to a rave in my life. I was in my mid twenties when house music arrived (hardly gowing up with it). But if it fits your arguement you go right ahead and invent what you like.

Back in the real world what I do or do not like musically is of no consiquence at all. It neither negates nor confirms my opinions. So I like listening to Hardcore balearic and Ambient Trance in the car. Bearing in mind I clock up a good 20,000+ business miles year, for me it's background music while I drive. Does having Gorecki on the Cd player at home, or a hard drive full of Union Underground and Sum41 make my opinion of JH more or less valid?.

And if you consider the Buzzcocks to be punk you really do have no clue what you are waffling on about.

Of course we are at least in accord that White Riot is the finest Skinhead band on Earth. Oh the fun we've had driving to Waitrose STOMPING to the glorious sounds of   "Sieg heil  we're back again". :wink:

You're beginning to rant now.

Opinion: A conclusion held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof

Belief: Something believed or accepted as true, especially a particular tenet or a body of tenets accepted by a group of persons.

=================================================

Two definitions of two different things. So what is an opinion? Clearly something held to be true but not substantiated by fact. Beliefs however are held to be true but are based on facts or perceived facts.

Therefore one can believe the capital of France is Paris and that the capital of Germany is Bonn. As illustrated beliefs can be wrong, as Paris is indeed the capital of France but Berlin and not Bonn, is now the capital of unified Germany.

Expressed opinion is exactly that, an idea not based on fact but on feeling. Opinions cannot therefore be held to be right or wrong. They are as valid as the holder of those opinions decides they are.

Is green a nicer colour than blue? We can each have an opinion, but  there is no exact right or wrong. Blue is not measurably nicer than green and no matter how much one likes green it doesn't mean that someone who likes blue is wrong.

So it is with Arts. You cannot quantify art. There is no best piece of music, no best painting.
Many would state that The Godfather is the greatest film ever made. By what measure? It did not gross the highest box office ever (Titanic did that!!!). It did not win the most Oscars (Again Titanic, sharing the honour with Ben Hur, at eleven). So how can it be the best? I can't. All it can be is a film that a vocal minority claim as their favourite.

Based on The Oxford English Dictionary  meaning for 'belief' and 'opinion' consider the following.

"In my opinion the Godfather is the greatest film ever made." Fair point.

"I believe the Godfather to be the greatest film ever made." Prove it.

So what of Jimi Hendrix? Is he a great musician?
Did he sell a lot of records? So did the Spice Girls!
Did a lot of people go see him play? A lot of people went to see Take That!

One cannot therefore state as fact that he was or was not a great musician/song writer.

It's your opinion. It's neither universally right nor universally wrong. But it's what you think. It's the result of what his music means to you. Either a lot or nothing at all. No one can tell you opinion is wrong. And neither can you tell someone else their opinion is wrong.

So to suggest my dislike of Jimi Hendrix has no merit is the comment of at the least a misguided soul and at most the ramblings of a intellectual dwarf.

To further argue that my dislike of JH is somehow wrong based on the fact that you think my liking of dance music is also wrong is as ignorant as thinking my liking of the colour blue is wrong based on the fact that my liking of Guinness is also wrong.

Articulating a reasoned argument is harder than having a mindless dig, but I still suggest you give it a go.

Yadda yadda yadda whatever - to you both  :wink:
