You know........I was all set not to like this....bound and determined not to like this...but I'd say keep it. With all the songs you have it'll only come up every fourth Shrove Tuesday anyway. But you my friend are a true patriot and so I present you with this flag
u r a true patriot!
i'd like to desecrate dat flag
says i have had it since december '07 and that is the first time i have heard it :)
yeah it kinda put a new twist on the song
i am already leaning that direction
Yeah, this one isn't so great. However, the cover of Axis, by the Pretenders is dead on. That might be my favorite rtrack on this cd, which I wore out quite a bit back in the proverbial day.
Terminate.
2-1?
was lester's vote a kill?
That's how I interpreted it.
uh, kc, this really really really sucks. you know, it's bad enough jimi's dead without people doing this to his songs. maybe if they'd covered this earlier, back around killing an arab, they coulda done a primitive rock version that mattered. but jesus, all i can think is they were feeling suicidal but too pussy to do it themselves so they recorded this in the hopes that jimi would rise from the dead and strike them down.
hahah well it is as if rob feels the way i felt last AM after hearing it too
that would be 3-1 for death
the cure is not looking too good huh?
good to see ya here Rob-man
Jimi + drum machines=KILL..I don't normaly have a prob with the Cure either.
My pops was once in a movie called Purple Haze about a teen growing up in 60's Minneapolis..this was not the version of Purple Haze they used.
They kinda took the paranoia out of the tune.
Is there a good cover of Purple Haze?
oooh i wanna see dat movie
my favorite version is from frank marino and mahogany rush from the live lp.
pat traves does a pretty good one
buddy miles's is ok kinda funky....
dawn tyler does one that i am not sure how the hell to take it.kinda jazzy
frank zappa's is weird n groovy
ozzy's (with sabbath i think) off of prince of darkness is pretty good
robert randolph does it well(on a boot i have)
winger's version i always dug
Paul Rodgers and Company live version is alright
those are the ones i know...i'm sure there are tons more.
Another "interesting" version
This one works for me
Hah..maybe in your spare time,hehe, you could post those versions..Zappa,Miles,hell, all of 'em. I no gots any.
it was already on me brain.
i am in the middle of a 70's stoner covers post
4 cds and a slow connection and a thunderstorm killin my connection.
hahah Jimi's works for me EVERYTIME
i got about 12 versions (unique) of jimi doing this song
Take your time,cuz...I believe I'm due for a Jimi-fest real soon.
2 great versions of Purple Haze:
The Fibonaccis, and "Vapeur Mauve" by The Haunted (Canadian garage greats.)
i have not heard either of those rob.
may have to burn one from vinyl, thought i'd gotten the other recently (knew it but didn't own it), will go through the vastness and try to find these over the weekend.
Fibonaccis is a psychedelic punk version, the Haunted was a 60s band that did it pretty straight-up with French vocals.
i'd stick with jimi doin it if i could only have one; for covers i prefer the ones that alter it totally but still rock.
so hey, the album that started this post: what song does buddy guy play?
red house
gad damnit!
i can't even figger out how to post a song in comment here anymore!
blues song, it figures. gotta hear it though. you ever hear that junior brown song that's basically red house? great jimi-esqueness.
i'll do a post after sleep for ya
i believe i have heard that.
i need more junior in my collection
i got ya a ton load of brothers now to just ship it
if i've not lost yr adress again.
what a dumbass
i am so broke they are about to cut my phone off (cell) no land line
no work for two weeks and raman is getting old
It's interesting. But not that much. Another kill vote. One hearing is enough.

Try that. I'm a bit retarded this a.m.
it is all good brother man
thank you
Something kinda cool about their interpetation of this tune. Didn't know what to think of it until the vocals came in then it got my intrest. Almost sounds like what Sade would do with song.
I was going to go all Henry Fonda on all you angry men, but the more it goes on the duller it gets. Maybe my prozac hasn't kicked in yet. It's fairly trippy in a background kinda way, but it ain't no Lullaby or Forest.
haha i wished you had went all henry fonda on us here man
thanks!
