This is simply a brilliant collaboration between songwriter and musician, showcasing the unique possibilities of the electric guitar along with nothing more than a bass, drum kit and acoustic guitar. Notice Jimi’s repeated, gradually progressing ascents up the scale with blistering notes. He seems to be gradually reaching for a note that he only finally hits at the end of the song, symbolic of the joker & thief's approach to the castle, and the imminent metaphorical storm.
Listen to you people argue over who was better. MOOT POINT. Both Hendrix and Dylan are obviously full of genius. Jimi clearly LOVED playing Dylan tunes and Bob LOVED hearing Hendrix play his songs! Haters want an either/or universe but the TRUTH lies in the word BOTH!
jimi was ahead of his time as a guitarist even in his clothing style..i have some clothes that i bought because i was influenced by his style and im glad you posted this..he will never be forgotten...
He was my dad's favorite guitarist and mine too.I love Jimi.I know I'm only 26 but I thank my dad for letting listen to this man.I can appreciate his music and those who came before me.Always
70% of teenagers have turned to Hip Hop and Rap.If you are part of the 30% that still listen to real music,copy and paste this message to another 5 videos.
One year, my son had to do a report for a school project during Black History Month. Names were in a hat - who did he pull out...JIMI! - No coincidence since I play bass, him, my sister, & sister in law play the clarinet, my uncle lead guitar, my mom the accordion. Music runs in my family.
Love this song, Hendrix was the coolest man and what I love is the looseness of the timing...if you put a click track to this you'll see how many times it falls off the beat, imperfection of such things are what make it great it was about feel and emotion not precision and perfection. Unbeatable 40 years later!!
I'm tired of people comparing Jimi and God. sure he was the greatest musician in the world, but he owns no spot close to God. i hope someone understands where im coming from...
A dream I wonder- I love Hendrix but hear Steely Dan in the back ground some how next thing --my alarm goes off...strange to me .my alarm is Clapton's Derek and the Dominos blues power and I go back to bed but think Zepplen and forget the whole thing yet I am very tired when I awake .
@IbrahimJason I'm far too old to have found your comment funny, I head Hendrix in person, but I did lol. You hit my funny bone. Probably cause I'm rattling the windows with this at 4:30 am. Some things a person never outgrows I guess, And I grew up to be an English professor somehow...ah well. Thanks for the laugh.
This is the best song ever, apparently. Justin Bieber is gay. There are too many dislikes. I stopped my porn for this. Chuck Norris. I'm only 13 and I like this. Thumbs up if you are listening to this in 2011. Let's have a music rebellion. Press this number so something will happen. Random unfunny memes. The band that made this song is god. The world is ending in 2012. Lady Gaga. I raped the replay button. Why is it only showing my views?
@Geschlechtsvolzieher kleiner tipp, der Text spielt in "Battlestar Galactica eine wichtige Rolle, im dazugehörigen Wiki müsste sich eine Übersetzung finden lassen. Ich könnte mich auch selber dran machen aber ich hab keine lust drauf, sonst denk ich den halben tag zweisprachig^^
To sohooded if yourv experienced the true culture and music of Hip Hop you wouldnt be calling it garbage. Its actualy the most beautiful language in which to express! I agree with jimis era and season of pure musicanship tho, times we will never bable to recapture. I love this song so much! Lost in translation...
One of the great rendtions where it is better than theoriginal by writer, Bob Dylan, Hendrix's idol.....You will never see this amazing tme of real music again...today it's just crap rap..hip hop garbage,.... and electronics.........stick to this you will never see it agian..it's the real thing!!!
