John Mayer Talks About Bold As Love

[Aclarado]

all that and no music? frak

[myjsallday44]

@whatisthescore obvious troll is obvious

[purphanz]

"bold as love" describes the seven life energy forces (chakra) or hues of visible light, detailed and symbolized in the tantric yoga of vedic theology; the axis (axis mundi) is the point of alchemical diffusion of all susbtances, inner and outer alike - a model ubiquitous to countless world cultures

[lewars1912]

@purphanz  Yeh, right.

[regbel56]

the great guitar player ,maybe the top bluesman ,and dont miss Hendrix made it in only 3 years ,wow ,around 10 albums original ,a studio "Electric Ladyland"Thank You John Mayer to recognition the gratefulness off Hendrix ,too many times ,somebody said he is dead by overdose of heroine,and today we know,nobody can leave with a galon of alcool,and nobody can drink buy himself a gallon ,now we know it is a murder with many more at the time off Nixon President terms....Hope you are glad Jimi...Thank

AS an old fart that first heard Bold as Love while blown out of my mind, over 40 years ago, I think John Mayer did a fine job making it his own. Nice job!

[chubbybox12]

I like John's version too! I think Jimi's original idea was good. But John put a nice spin on it.

[jmneon]

fuck you

[jmneon]

hey man, at least i know what real music is. unlike you. i feel sorry for you.

[sk8r12345678910]

Man, I totally agree with you. You can tell that jmneon is a wimpy, insecure loser going nowhere by those TWO WORDS he wrote... And John Mayer is definitely self absorbed because he didn't want to play Jimi's song exactly the same as the original.

On second thought, that seems totally stupid, immature, and makes no sense at all... hmm.

I think I'll disagree, actually. You're an idiot.

[sk8r12345678910]

Lol. You must be even stupider than I thought if you couldn't make sense of that. I'm not even going to bother arguing with you.

Oh, and it's "YOU'RE such a dumb shit", not "your". Totally different words. Gosh!

[binnyman]

I really appreciate John's viewpoint: Jimi DID write some beautiful stuff. "Bold As Love", "Wind Cries Mary","Castles Made of Sand",etc. As he points out, Hendrix's chordal accompaniment, especially on "Bold", is extraordinary. Born of his roots in the Blues, and his rhythm guitar work for his early bands, his melodic, contra-puntal style is pure genius: It makes Jimi's music flow. And "Bold"'s lyrics are a poetic tapestry in themselves. Kudos to John;Great player in his own right. Peace:-)

[manictatter]

"Get history right". Nice.

[joshuakeh]

Mayer is gifted. I'm glad that he respects and acknowledges his influences. Can't wait for his latest album!

[VeniceKing1]

he's 31, genius.

[alexva210]

and continuum isn't exactly pop music either.

[fiddycent2]

have you heard the live in LA album, Have You heard the Try album I would deffinitely say there is more than pop on them

[Danklin24]

You think the Live in LA is a pop album??? WTF? Granted there is some old pop stuff on there like Neon but Gravity, Belief, Bold as love(yes i realize its a Hendrix song before anyone gives me shit about it) the majority of that album is blues at his finest.

[fiddycent2]

I said that there is MORE than pop on there meaning that hes got some blues rock and, even a hint of jazz

[ChristopherX20]

My favourite hendrix song,and the versions i have herd john do are great.

[mavis41558]

You've got to hand it to the young'un, he really has respect for the greats who came before him...

He plays Hendrix as well as anyone, better than the vast majority.
