      As a high kid in the mid 80s, and as someone who learned to play and to appreciate the guitar, metal (music) wasn't that bad; it's the imaginary dark culture and it's the unintelligible lyrics that I wasn't into. Some of the most talented guitarists went into heavy metal or came out of that sub-culture. Most heavy metal music were terrible, just like most non-heavy metal music. But, again, some of the guitar solos --- some Malmsteen speed; others average speed ---- created for heavy metal have been sublime...

      Mitch was Jimi's perfect drummer. His Jazz influenced free style works so well within the 'power trio'. Buddy Miles is a great drummer, but he was all wrong for what Jimi was doing. Mitch is a very overlooked musician. Personally I think this line up was the best that Jimi had. I was never a fan of Noel Redding's playing. Billy Cox's playing was exactly what Jimi needed. Pity he wasn't there from the beginning.

      Was actually having a bad trip on mushrooms one time when Voodoo Child came on. It took me to another universe, and I realized exactly what you are saying here, that Hendrix is not dead, because he is profoundly impacting my consciousness and communicating with me in real time through his recorded music. It's like he was there in the room, in my head, as real as any person. The experience was much more of an intuitive realization that cannot be captured in words. I just went around telling people Jimi Hendrix had taught me how to achieve immortality. The rest of my trip was a good one.

Research has shown that when used in a structured environment with a experienced shaman they can have great therapeutic properties. Many cultures have used them ceremonially and therapeutically for millennia. Personally, I've only used psychedelics twice and not again for the past 5 years. Both times have triggered anxiety and for me it's not worth it. They're not toys. Though, I am extremely grateful for the positive experience and insights that I did have while under the influence and can say I'm a better and deeper person for it.

      Same as Keith Moon with drums (at least between 1967-70 as after that he go rapidly weaken). He is projecting some 'on spectrum' vibes into the instrument, ignoring most orders of the janre. Unused to think that immigrating Moon, even for a five minute drumming session , would fail due to inability to stand it phisically but some time down the road I got to learn it was because I was (and seems like none else) not wired like him.

    I read once that Jimi was hardly ever seen without a guitar in his hands or at least very close nearby. He almost couldn't stop himself from playing and music just literally poured out of the man. Same thing for EVH. A girlfriend once told Eddie that she thought he liked his guitar more than her and Eddie agreed lol. And that's what makes those guys so special.

Every generation has musicians that are groundbreaking one of a kind. I never got to see Mozart or Bach. The difference is you have to sort thru all the noise to find the types that are innovative and brilliant. It doesn't have to just be in the rock world either..music is constantly morphing and there will always be some new genius come along that is special..You may have to search a little harder and they may not have millions of fans but they are out there. Stay healthy, keep learning and 65 can be the best time of life..I'm having quite a great time of it myself.

I'm sure those people would have loved to live through the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, and World War II. Most of them imagine it would be just like the Great Gatsby, but at that time very few people were that rich.
      Then you get people who say they wish they were born in a different time because, "music was good back then". This I find ridiculous because there has always been good music, and there has always been shitty music. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. There is still amazing music today, just like there was shitty music in the '60s. As a matter of fact, there were people in the '60s who though The Beatles had ruined music, and wished they could go back to, "the Golden age of music".
      Lastly, wishing to be born in a different time is a waste of time, because for one thing, the grass is always greener on the other side, and of course, you will never be able to be born in another time. Getting upset about it is a waste of brainpower.

    Whenever I watch other great guitarists perform live, I notice how they kind of tense up and really focus on what they're playing and try not to make mistakes. But whenever i watch Jimi, I just see him play guitar, and that's what makes him so great. It's like he doesn't care what happens during the performance as long as it sounds good. He doesn't focus to hard on playing, he just goes with the flow. And if there are any mistakes, he just blends them in with the song. Jimi is a true master of the guitar who died way to young.

      He is responding to his guitar feeding back during that stop. That is what I see. Mouth movements do not correspond to the notes being played at all. Looks like he says "WTF is with the feedback" or WTF am I in the monitor for" Etc.

    I was there in 1970 and Hendrix played late on the 4th of July and gave one of the great performances of his career. This was the second time I saw him play and there are great musicians still today, so don't get bored or broken spirited. Still those were the greatest times for me and the hippies were wonderful. We could have shared a nation and a world of brothers and sisters in one free rainbow unity, dispensed with money and wars, and gotten on with green solar and wind power for each and everyone ...and we still can do it. Love to you all.

    I'm sure Leo Fender never envisioned that when he created the Stratocaster...
    The way Hendrix abuses the tremolo in his own beautiful way was completely unheard of back then...
    And yet even though it wasn't designed for such extreme divebombs it's amazing how Hendrix always managed to stay in tune...For the most part...
    He was a genius who did the best he could with the kind of gear he had back then and pushed the limits of music and the guitar so far ahead...
    Of course there were many other great guitar players back then...But no matter how great they were they were still guitar players...
    Hendrix was something else...

    Purple haze, all in my brain
    Lately things they don't seem the same
    Actin' funny, but I don't know why
    Excuse me while I kiss the sky
    Purple haze, all around
    Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
    Am I happy or in misery?
    What ever it is, that girl put a spell on me
    Help me
    Help me
    Oh, no, no
    Ooo, ahhh

    Ooo, ahhh

    Purple haze all in my eyes
    Don't know if it's day or night
    You got me blowin', blowin' my mind
    Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?
    Ooo
    Help me
    Ahh, yea-yeah, purple haze
    Oh, no, oh
    Oh, help me
    Tell me, tell me, purple haze
    I can't go on like this

    EVERY note was a psychedelic journey of the mind. Matter of fact your mind couldn't comprehend what it was seeing and hearing.
