I assume this is his own composition titled "Purple Haze", and it's just coincidental that Jimi Hendrix also had a -- completely different -- tune by that same name.
I am having this weird, deeply disturbing dream where TV heartthrob Scott Baio starts out playing some crappy drums, and then Ebenezer Scrooge joins him on an old sitar. Then some douche joins in on a 5-string electric bass. And it goes downhill from there And then... HOLY CRAP THIS IS NOT A BAD DREAM, IT'S REAL!!! AAAAAYEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
last time i tried hallucinogens was 42 years ago and would'nt try any back room stuff now although some pure acid would tempt me...that sounds like some concotion you took, and the death part makes me think that i'll pass on it ? thanks anyway.
@OMGsanchez You're thinking of a different Ben Franklin. I'm talking about the founding father, the inventor of bifocals, the accomplished sitarist, the noted LSD researcher. You're going to have to look this up again.
its interesting to edit and improvise, but i think he should have kept some part from the original Hendrix tune.. or else he should just not give the Hendrix's song's name for his tune..
you fools will never accept different things, this is a fusion of the great psychaedelic sounds of a sitar and one of the best creations from jimi. i dont really like it but i accept it.
I'm a Hendrix fan and have heard a ton of Jimi's music played in every style imaginable. How you can equate Hendrix and this band is beyond me. I'm not saying it's good or bad, rather, I'm not sure if the Hendrix name and titles were used primarily for selling points. A couple of Hendrix licks here and there doesn't make for the true spirit of Jimi. I'm completely disappointed - but would have been more disappointed if I had paid to see this band. Can you say "false advertising"?!
@DMajikninja You have to read lower in the article. "Although middle school history books state that Benjamin Franklin died in 1790, he actually survived until 1957, attributing his longevity to 'shit loads of LSD' and his devotion to the sitar, an Indian fretted stringed instrument." Surprised you didn't know that. Get your facts straight, please.
This has so much potential, but alas it it not fully realized. If the sitar-player was in the same class as, say Ananda Shankar, this would be riveting. As it stands, however, this only gets a luke-warm review from me.
Ok, just see my fist post...This is pretty not happening...But I give them credit for the fun they seem to be having...I still say the sitar guy looks like a mental patient on furlogh or more likely escaped! LOL!!! ;0)
@ptchjamie Benjamin Franklin (January 17, 1706 [O.S. January 6, 1705[1]] - April 17, 1790) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. A noted polymath, Franklin was a leading author and printer, satirist, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat....On wikipedia and in my History book..get your facts straight please =)
agree with you entirely!.. sitar may be ok when you play something written for sitar, but not here!.. you don't play Sabbath Bloody Sabbath on flute, or Ave Maria on drums..
love the stoner rock drum beat behind this. it's the drive of this song !
I agree but it was too loud at times an was overpowering the sitar.
FOOL'S GOLD
I Live for this ! HOT! LOVE the drums and bass.
WOW ! GREAT !
it's more "turtle gaze"
ben franklin was never the same after he discovered LSD.. !!!
Added to my "Comedy" playlist.
vi esse cara no Sesc daqui da minha cidade (São Carlos SP)em março de 2006..e fiquei literalmente CHAPADO..sai em transe
Cool! But, when do they start playing, "Purple Haze"?
@OMGsanchez Ben Franklin lived until 1957 and played sitar for several years before his passing.
he looks the gnome in my garden
This is his way of headbanging :))
I assume this is his own composition titled "Purple Haze", and it's just coincidental that Jimi Hendrix also had a -- completely different -- tune by that same name.
this is why they said at Woodstock, " Stay away from the brown acid "
still waiting to hear purple haze?!?!?!
I am having this weird, deeply disturbing dream where TV heartthrob Scott Baio starts out playing some crappy drums, and then Ebenezer Scrooge joins him on an old sitar. Then some douche joins in on a 5-string electric bass. And it goes downhill from there And then... HOLY CRAP THIS IS NOT A BAD DREAM, IT'S REAL!!! AAAAAYEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
this is groovy
Do I have to go to Sitar Center to buy one?
o baterista parece o Keith Moon
Marsicano toca muito !!
Ok
i heard an attempt to play some PH for about a minute 1:40 . I wonder how Jimi would have approached the sitar?
can sum1 tell me how many strings a sitar have??
Dhaivat Raj in my space the major sitarist in Brazil!
Are people getting up to leave?
The Purple Haze melody (approximately) emerges about 1:58, lasts about a minute, then disappears back into extemporisation!
last time i tried hallucinogens was 42 years ago and would'nt try any back room stuff now although some pure acid would tempt me...that sounds like some concotion you took, and the death part makes me think that i'll pass on it ? thanks anyway.
I think it's totally cool to have a sitar in your band but you need more instrumentation. Can I be your tanpura player?
@vairabindra Purple haze Is the kinda stuff we can BUY in our COFFESHOPS NEXT TO OUR HOMES!!
'.''
I think Hendrix would've loved this!
Purple haze was an alternative name for the LSD during the 60's
song came first
they smoke the purple haze
0:30 is when the ghost of music possesses the suitar player starts
Not purple haze. But still an excellent marketing trick to get me to watch the video! Well played sir!
Since when did einstein start playing sitar?
hey! its father time on a sitar
@quake3arenapranav 21,22 or 23-- they vary.
@OMGsanchez You're thinking of a different Ben Franklin. I'm talking about the founding father, the inventor of bifocals, the accomplished sitarist, the noted LSD researcher. You're going to have to look this up again.
I must have missed the Purple Haze part. But he's got the 70's glam rock poses down anyway. (Sitting down sort of limits your options there.)
i think this guy just SMOKED some purple haze...
This dude's seeing the purple haze for real...
The major sitarist of Brazil is Dhaivat Raj in my spice
a little bit more "purple haze" plzz , it never reminds me the original song...
its interesting to edit and improvise, but i think he should have kept some part from the original Hendrix tune.. or else he should just not give the Hendrix's song's name for his tune..
where's the beef ?
Lunch is not a class Shorty
It is when you've got the munchies

@janken919 i dont think he should wait til the end.
maybe if you listend for more than a minute youd get to here it
This guy is the Metallica of raga. Wonder if he does any Sabath. e.T. x
He needs more riyaz!!!

Surprised you didn't know that. Get your facts straight, please.
@lolaryngoscope Should I just have said, "It is worst sitar playing I've ever seen or heard", so you could understand.
apparently playing the sitar leads you to be posessed by spirits
They'd have to pay ME to see this crap live!
The drummer looks like Fernando Alonso!!!
@DMajikninja LSD is a hell of a drug.
this sounds good, but I really can't make out the melody for Purple Haze :/
The instrument is shaped like a bong
I think this guy just smoked all the purple haze before the show.
i dint know Einstein fucking played the sitar too..
blasphemy i thought iwas gonna get hendrix out of a sitar...i was fooled
I pissed myself after reading that.
The purple haze must be in they're lungs now..
check the guy out 2:30 looks like hes had enough purple haze for one night
i mean the guy in the audience
jimmy page played the sitar... also the gurdy, just sayin :)
...Wow.. Brian Jones didn't die after all!
hahahahahahahahahaha😀🚬🐂💨💨💨
hick!
i guess hes just playin the part
This has so much potential, but alas it it not fully realized. If the sitar-player was in the same class as, say Ananda Shankar, this would be riveting. As it stands, however, this only gets a luke-warm review from me.
@NileOfBlood6606 Noooooooo you dont lol
I worked with a guy that could be his twin!!
i aint high enough for dis sh-t
I didn't know Michael Phelps was such a good drummer.....
All that came through the mix was drums.

What is life?
wish i knew
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Noel Gallagher on the drums!

Ok, just see my fist post...This is pretty not happening...But I give them credit for the fun they seem to be having...I still say the sitar guy looks like a mental patient on furlogh or more likely escaped! LOL!!! ;0)

Alright, anustart.

Maybe people who create things aren't so concerned with your delicate sensibilities. That kind of mindset doesn't breed musicians.
And then smoke it
i like this...but its not purple haze...its more of a bluesy type sitar jam
alright music,
im not talking down the players but
i dont hear the purple haze song at all even the drums are nowhere near mitch's playing
isn't it !
Albert Einstein nao morreu
:P
there is much better if they have a girl or hair man for vokal like Jimm M or Grace Slick
that's not purple haze ._.
mmm.....not a fan of x factor at all but, i'd like to see the guy play this in front of cowell ?
0:31 he is being posessed by jesus
