Jimi Hendrix - new album People, Hell, and Angels studio set

[Not_the_DJ]

Plenty of those already released on Polydor, and they are flaky at best. Not expecting something wondrous, just the Hendix estate milking it IMHO.

I've been quite impressed with a lot of the "Experience Hendrix" releases, from "New Rays..." onwards to this. The clean-up jobs they've done have been great, much better then the bootlegs of course.

They get a lot of stick but compared to stuff like 'Voodoo Soup' with all the dubious overdubs the quality of these 'official' releases has been great, so I'm all for a bit more milking.

This is the kind of thing I have no problem with people illegaly downloading...

That's the problem with guitarists - for some reason you HAVE to like Hendrix.

He was just a poor man's Stephen Stills.

As a bassist I get daggers when I admit I don't like Jaco. Yeah, yeah he was important, but he couldn't hold a tune in a bucket.

[fretmeister]

His biggest contribution was arguably teaching kids that being in tune is optional

All Along The Watchtower was a good song. Oh wait...

and the best version of that was on the BSG soundtrack without a guitar in range!

Hendrix was a showman not a craftsman - most people who were there at the shows say you're getting nothing from the DVDs; so they're happy - if we all played gigs like that there'd be more live bands and music venues and fewer record producers sending their kids to Eton

That made oi larf...

I was in Pizza Express the other Friday, and they were playing some jazz. I can't tell you what it was, because the tune never emerged from the "improvisation". I believe it involved saxophones. Nearly ruined a perfectly good Tiramisu.

He was playing the music how it should sound before equal temperament...your ear has been conditioned to hear music that's out of tune, in tune

if you can tap your foot along to it its not jazz enough

I've heard one track from it and it is Hendrix by numbers. I guess if there were anything more interesting in the vault it would have been dug out before.If it was revealed as a fake, just some musician doing a Hendrix a like, I wouldn't bat an eyelid.
