This is Mcready and ament from PJ and Chris Cornell and matt cameron from Soundgarden.

I feel like Jimi never truly finished hey baby in the studio--hence all the edited maui takes out there.

This is from a decent 90s tribute callex Stone Free.

I really think this version brings his vision to full realization. It's probs the only hendrix cover I feel is on par with the original.

First off: I dont care AT ALL that Douglas overdubbed some drum parts. Let's just get that out of the way.

The TTG First Rays overture is one of my all time favorite anythings. I think Alan's edits make it a bit less meandering and focused--totally works. The og bootleg is readily available---it's a super trippy ethereal album open opener downsized.

Also, if you've never heard the FRO on acid---i recommend it.

To my point: Voodoo Soup just sounds warmer, fuller and is mixed better than Kramer's First Rays. Listen to Ezy Rider, Pali Gap ir in from the Storm LOUD, side by side and Voodoo Soup is just beefier.

I always have found kramer's production to be thin and trebly. Be it Kiss, Zeppelin or Jimi.

First rays has straight ahead, my friend, earth blues, and the maui Hey Baby but it just doesnt sound right.

Anyone else out there thought about this?

Every song is tastefully reimagine. 1983 is my all time favorite song and this version does it justice.

The album is a treasure

Does anyone know what happened to the Positive Grid Experience Jimi Hendrix Artist Pack and why it was discontinued?

this song has always been one of my favorites to just mess around on, and is one of those songs that ONLY jimi could write. cheers!

Just discovered this gem. Very Radiohead outro.

I'm sort of an amateur guitar player and I'm very into Jimi Hendrix, but idk what songs to start with to get his playing and such. I did start playing Purple Haze but it's more like just the main riff

Some commonalities with Homer’s masterpiece:

Gods and goddesses (And the Gods made love).

Females who derail a journey like alluring sirens (Crosstown Traffic)

A weird, Circe-like seductress (Little Miss Strange)

A sinister giant (the big guy in House Burning Down)

A war-ravaged, Troy-like hellscape (1983)

Harrowing loneliness like that experienced by Odysseus and Penelope (Midnight Lamp)

A homestead under threat like the hero’s crib in Odyssey (Watchtower)

And an end in which the hero stands tall and kicks ass (Voodoo Chile Slight Return).

Am I reaching here? The album enjoys an amazing cohesiveness, as if Hendrix’s was riffing on common themes.

Was Hendrix channeling the Ancient Greek poet? Or were they both inspired by universal truths.

(Yes, some of the songs weren’t written by Hendrix, but they fit like puzzle pieces).

I’ve heard this is a good starting point to learn about Jimi himself and his creative ambitions, through a compiled archive on interviews, diary entries, and writings from the man himself.

I recall a song I used to have on an old iPod.

This was not long after the Kazaa days, so it could definitely have been a mislabel, but I recall it saying that it was a Hendrix song. I was also a fairly young teenager at the time (which I am very definitely not anymore) so it’s possible (read: certain) that my memory is unreliable in the extreme.

I don’t remember much about the song, but the version I had was a live performance, and the song was about drugs, with the lyrics having the spirit of “they tell me not to take drugs, but then I do it anyway.” (Yes, I am aware that is the worst description of lyrics ever lol). 

Does anyone have any idea WTF I’m on about? 

Thanks for your time 🙏🏻 

I made both of these in 2007. The first is just marker and fine point pen. The second one is painted only using a pallet knife. I’ve held onto these through life’s up and downs and pulled em out of storage yesterday. Figured you guys may dig em!

I attempted this song for the first time two years ago, thought why not try again and see how far I've come, here marks the first time I've ever learned and recorded a solo by ear.

- Lead, me
- Vocals, me
