I don't play guitar, but I have been a Hendrix fan since '71 and he plays Strat...I guess Slash is gonna' play a Gibson. Why is he attempting to cover Hendrix or is this just Slash's slant on Hey Joe?...I sure miss Stevie Ray Vaughn...
@1stSaintsFan slash is a huge Jimi Hendrix fan.He said himself that hendrix was an inspiration.Even though Jimi used a Strat,Slash prefers to use Gibson Les Pauls with Seymour Duncan Alinco Pro 2 pickups because it gives him that raw sound that he likes.I see this more of a tribute than just a hall of fame show.
@GunsNRoses103 Point well taken...G 'n R is one of my favorite bands. Slash is the man...Axl Rose's voice is pretty well shot by now...Maybe he can go the no voice country music route of a Kid Rock...Oh thats right...Axl couldn't play the be nice to fans to gain favor in Nashville.
You guys shouldn't be ripping any of the musicians here, that's not what music is about, everyone is different, sure slash didn't play this song like jimi, that dosent mean you should talk shit about him.
lol hate slash so much, he is so overrated. I mean there are 10.000 people on youtube who can play better than him. I dont mean faster but just better, smarter.
This is so easy to play it in the slash way. No one can copy jimi becouse he is special and slash just inst... any way thats my opinion. just wanted to say that = )
@NapsterRulez You might be able to play like Slash but, did you or any of the youtubers you talk about write all of those amazing Guns riffs? Did you write the Sweet Child solo or the last solo in November Rain? Did you even write anything as simple yet effective as the Slither riff? I'll agree Slash is overrated. He's a good player, not the best. I'd not even say that his playing stands out that much. I do think however he deserves respect for his role in Rock and Roll history. Peace. :)
@Nickpatient thanks for ure comment, and i agree whit u. He deservers respect for what he did in guns and rozes and the rock and roll world, but al im saying is that he is not as new as jimi. He doesnt seem to enjoy it. And i think that thats the most important. Jimi is like my hero and its just wierd to see that people say that slash is "better" (i dont believe in better) so thanks for ure comment and sorry for my late response
@MrRC1992 thats a good idea, because I can't stop crying at how bad Slash and Steve butchered this tune.Dont get me wrong, I like Slash and Steve, but they stunk on this.
@MrRC1992 The way Steve sang it, it sounds like a bar band... I hate how soft he made it.. thats all, and Slash sounds simple and drunk on it... I usually like Slash..I didnt on this. But hey, they are getting paid and not me , so there you go..
@MrRC1992 yeah, I think I was to hard on him... who am I to judge him anyway.. Im sure Jimi was looking down smiling that people were thinking of him.
Jimi Hendrix isn't recognized as the greatest guitarist, but as the most creative with a guitar. He flipped and reversed his guitar 'cause he was a lefty, he played the first solo with his teeth, the second? Behind his head. He burned a guitar that did not belong to him, because the person had stole and pawned his guitar. Not to mention how guitar experts claim he's a bad guitarist, yet you can't name one person who has imitated him. I wish I could see him today and praise him, to his face.
@Infinityjet just saying Hendrix was an amazing guitarist and overall musician u could ask any of the greats such as Eric Clapton, Santana, Jimmy Page, and if he was still alive Duane Allman. They would all answer with no hesitation that Hendrix was the greatest guitarist to ever live. Hell even slash would say and probably has said that Hendrix is the best ever. And besides all that I really think they should have had someone else sing it really just ruined that performance even with slash's c
why does everyone think jimi owns these guys? the truth is....slash and most other famous guitar players nowadays would wipe the floor with jimi technically (And some soulfully) .... it's what jimi did for MUSIC that made him so famous
@infinityjet they wouldn't wipe the floor with jimi, most guitar players now jut concentrate on speed and trying to play the most complicated thing there is to play instead of playing what you want to with the most soul you can possibly put into a song, that is what made jimi unique
What a KILLER rendition, Slash has such class and style and he freeking shreds this song in his own sweet way. As a lifettime Hendrix fax gotta love this video!!
@gremby 1. learn english...at least the basics 2. who are U to talk about anyone like that? wanna know the truth?slash and jimi are both great musicians 3. u are a piece of shit
@joshygin actually slash has played with his teeth when he was high like that, you may wanna watch his videos before jumping into that conclusion. Slash loved Hendrix so it's obvious where he got his attitude on certain things.
Slash is great however, the rhythm of this performance is too slow. That is why there is no anger in this song here. I think that Jimi's idea was different. First of all he wanted to show anger and his regret.
@tonyzakoscielny Jimi played his own version, Slash making different, with personality and creativity.. no need to be so stupid to play the same thing
Of course, I will always consider Jimi's version to be the best... But I am a huge Hendrix fan. To feel that another performer can not perform the tune and do it well is rather narrow minded. after all, Jimi reocrded a cover. I believe the first person to sing it was the person who penned the tune... something Rose. The second group to record it was I think The Leaves in the early 60's. Maybe if you you tube the song, you will find all versions and apperciate each for the effort given.
Just read the comment about Slash not playing a Hendrix song... to my knowledge, Jimi was the third artist to record this song. He did not write it. All three recordings are different. To me, this is just another expression of the tune. Blues and Rock & roll is not about "sounding" the same as those that have passed before you... It is about who you are.
I don't think it was the best idea that Slash is playing a Jimi Hendrix song. You can't make conparison between them. Both have there own signature and both are playing the guitar fn awseome. They're both legends and simply epic.
Slash has done a great job, and I love Slash, but you can't compare him with Jimi Hendrix, just because both have their own style.
@TheLedzep007 I didn't realise it was Mitch Mitchell until I say your comment. He is one wicked drummer alright, just like Ginger Baker from Cream in his day I reckon.
@Corocateur Agree fully. Winwood's voice is unique and unfortunately 'Hey Joe' doesn't really suit his range. Check out Winwood with the 'All Stars' version of 'Gimme Summer Lovin' 'on Youtube. It's a ripper. Sorry I can't supply the url.
slash is the only one who can give hendrix the water! nobody is so awesome on the guitar like this both dudes. Sorry but i don't like the vocals on this version.
How can Winwood forget the lyrics to a classic song like this? It's not like it's Proust, it's Hey Joe! He could've spoke up, said, "Hey fellas, not too sure about the lyrics here." I'm 43, grew up listiening to Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Satriani, etc. Slash kicks ass. He did an incredible job here.
For those who hate Slash- You do have the right to not like him and even think he is overrated but you can't deny his talent. Can't deny this memorable performance that he did. Perfect flow, feeling, and tempo. Other guitar players would maybe play to fast or to crazy. Is a simple Hey Joe Jimi Hendrix that needed to be well improvised in Blues/Major scale.
@gbamati well said big fella, but it must be a huge hounor for slash that of all musicians they ask him to play jimmys song at the hall of fame induction!!!!!!
Slash isn't the greatest guitarist, but he makes up for it by being one hell of a rock star. His riffs are far from hard to play in comparison to many of the top notch players. But, he has a certain style that he made work, which thrust him to where he is today. The look, the lifestyle, the sound. He is unique
@Loknload I agree. He's not the best guitarist for technical ability but for actual songwriting and creativity I don't think there's many who can match him.
This is a amazing tribute! slash is really playing from is heart and not trying to play it just like Hendrix :) u can't compare all the guitarist in the world cause nobody plays the guitar just the way the others do! it's all about what sound u like best really... hendrix, slash, clapton and 1000 more are amazing guitarist and their sounds are different... so stop whining about who's best or not.. there is no such thing in real music!!!
Q8SoldiersOfDeath - you've said it all, much better than I could - "guitar playing ain't about skills....slash's skills suck yea....your local bands may be more skilled than slash"
Lemmywinks0600 - Elton John, Mike Batt and The Tweets have all written songs that everyone instantly recognises - doesn't make them guitar gods though, does it? I've no issue with Mr Hudson's writing skills, just his playing on this particular clip; he'd probably admit the same, if you asked him.
Hendrix was great, but Slash ain't - I've heard better solos on Hey Joe in my local pub. He's got the look down to a fine art - hair, hat, low slung Les Paul and carefully maniicured ciggy, but plays the same old lazy beginner Eminor pentatonic licks - and what a terrible vibrato!
@deantallhat hey kid.....guitar playing ain't about skills....its about feelings ...slash's skills suck yea....but his notes are amazing .....he got his own style that no one can write like him
your local bands may be more skilled than slash...but can they write like him...hhh they won't even come to 1% of his amazingness
@deantallhat Thats where you are wrong, you may have heard faster solos with more intricate techniques in your pub, but that doesnt define a guitarist. How many of those local pub shredders wrote SONGS that the whole world instantly recognizes, people who have accomplished NOTHING in the music world can't act like they are the top musical authority, like you. Slash is a household name for a reason, you and your parents can instantly recognize his songs. He's a guitar god for a reason.
gonna get a lot of dislikes for this... but in my eyes the only worthy tribute made here is emphasizing how much better Hendrix was alone than both Slash and the singer together... but especially Slash, who just fails to pop the song out. Soul is for the soulful- no offense to Slash or anyone else
@Gilad11235 you cant compare the two of them, plus playing an instrument is not at all a competition and each and everyone of us has their own fav guitarist, so its just pointless to say whos better than whom (dunno if its "whom" lol, but you get the idea right?)
@MysterioFan02 not comparing, and being an addicted guitarist, musician and music-lover I definitely agree and it's most definitely NOT a competition- but I'm just giving my opinion, that Slash is rather a poser to my eyes :P and has no soul in his playing. Maybe hat's just me, and I believe everyone is entitled to their respective opinions- just as I respect yours, friend :)
@Gilad11235 ofc. i too respect your opinion. imo hendrix was definitely one of the best because of everything he's done for music, but in my eyes slash and gilmour are my favs (only picked up a guitar cause of them, mostly :P)
@MysterioFan02 haha, I picked it up because of Jimmy Page, and later on got influenced at least as much by Jimi as by Jimmy.... then Gilmour came along :P but no, Slash I've never seen right really xP
@robertsja9999 Page... Clapton... Beck... Knopfler... Gilmour... Frusciante... those are some of the live and well-known ones with soul. I don't count Slash among them; but maybe that's just me, and as good a guitar player as he may be, I don't hear the soul in him...
@Gilad11235 you seriously just put ????ing frusciante in the same sentence as Jimmy PAGE, Eric Clapton Jeff Beck and David Tone Christ Gilmour, are you JOKING? He's absolutely nothing compared to them, let alone slash. the "soul"? Thats bullshit. Slash is an absolutely amazing songwriter with plenty of "soul". His riffs are the top of the top most recognizable riffs ever, that literally EVERYONE knows, even little somali kids. Sweet Child, paradise city, etc. Now thatsa musical accomplishment.
@lemmywinks0600 hey hey let's relax, alright? First of all, in my POV, you are right- Frusciante is nothing compared to people like the others I put in- but what I mean by soul is not in the writing. Slash might be a brilliant writer. I'm talking about the playing; don't ask me to explain it, because I can't... riffs can be damned :P thing is, anything, absolutely anything that any of the above would play (with the *possible* exception of John, for your sake...)-
@lemmywinks0600 would sound a LOT better than anything Slash would play, even if they play the same thing... not to mention Hendrix, who is pretty much the god of the guitar- he would sound orgasmic playing a broken broom let alone a guitar
@MrFuchsify i suppose you're a much better guitarist than him, and thats why you're sitting at home talkin shit on the net and he's worked with Michael Jackson, Ray Charles and Ozzy Osbourne just to name three. Shut the fuck up.
@xxmartzxx never said that he isnt a great guitarrist dude (really enjoy his stuff), sure he is. just want to say that there are way better guitarrists than him
@xxmartzxx You people really need to get a life. All this juvenile arguing......ridiculous! Why don't you go on a road rage rampage? Or perhaps randomly gun down children at a day care center? Or burn down a church?? It's all the fucking same! Until people learn to LOVE INSTEAD OF HATE, society is doomed. Is that alright with you? Do you care? Do you want to die?? Guess what: I love you and I don't even know you!! I'm sure you are a beautiful person with a lot to offer!! Let's focus on that!!

Jimi Hendrix isn't recognized as the greatest guitarist, but as the most creative with a guitar. He flipped and reversed his guitar 'cause he was a lefty, he played the first solo with his teeth, the second? Behind his head. He burned a guitar that did not belong to him, because the person had stole and pawned his guitar. Not to mention how guitar experts claim he's a bad guitarist, yet you can't name one person who has imitated him. I wish I could see him today and praise him, to his face.

Wow...I just love how opinions of slash go from one end to the other . People seem to think he is either a badass, or an overrated schmuck.

Slash isn't the greatest guitarist, but he makes up for it by being one hell of a rock star. His riffs are far from hard to play in comparison to many of the top notch players. But, he has a certain style that he made work, which thrust him to where he is today. The look, the lifestyle, the sound. He is unique

@Loknload I agree. He's not the best guitarist for technical ability but for actual songwriting and creativity I don't think there's many who can match him.

Je ne savais pas Steeve Winwood amateur du répertoire d'Hendrix, mais sa prestation au coté de Slash ne ternit pas l'oeuvre du maître.

This is a amazing tribute! slash is really playing from is heart and not trying to play it just like Hendrix :) u can't compare all the guitarist in the world cause nobody plays the guitar just the way the others do! it's all about what sound u like best really... hendrix, slash, clapton and 1000 more are amazing guitarist and their sounds are different... so stop whining about who's best or not.. there is no such thing in real music!!!

Q8SoldiersOfDeath - you've said it all, much better than I could - "guitar playing ain't about skills....slash's skills suck yea....your local bands may be more skilled than slash"
Lemmywinks0600 - Elton John, Mike Batt and The Tweets have all written songs that everyone instantly recognises - doesn't make them guitar gods though, does it? I've no issue with Mr Hudson's writing skills, just his playing on this particular clip; he'd probably admit the same, if you asked him.
deantallhat 1 year ago
Hendrix was great, but Slash ain't - I've heard better solos on Hey Joe in my local pub. He's got the look down to a fine art - hair, hat, low slung Les Paul and carefully maniicured ciggy, but plays the same old lazy beginner Eminor pentatonic licks - and what a terrible vibrato!
deantallhat 1 year ago 2
@deantallhat hey kid.....guitar playing ain't about skills....its about feelings ...slash's skills suck yea....but his notes are amazing .....he got his own style that no one can write like him
your local bands may be more skilled than slash...but can they write like him...hhh they won't even come to 1% of his amazingness
Q8soldiersOFdeath 1 year ago
@deantallhat Thats where you are wrong, you may have heard faster solos with more intricate techniques in your pub, but that doesnt define a guitarist. How many of those local pub shredders wrote SONGS that the whole world instantly recognizes, people who have accomplished NOTHING in the music world can't act like they are the top musical authority, like you. Slash is a household name for a reason, you and your parents can instantly recognize his songs. He's a guitar god for a reason.

rafiqmalek 1 year ago
gonna get a lot of dislikes for this... but in my eyes the only worthy tribute made here is emphasizing how much better Hendrix was alone than both Slash and the singer together... but especially Slash, who just fails to pop the song out. Soul is for the soulful- no offense to Slash or anyone else
Gilad11235 1 year ago
@Gilad11235 you cant compare the two of them, plus playing an instrument is not at all a competition and each and everyone of us has their own fav guitarist, so its just pointless to say whos better than whom (dunno if its "whom" lol, but you get the idea right?)
MysterioFan02 1 year ago
@MysterioFan02 not comparing, and being an addicted guitarist, musician and music-lover I definitely agree and it's most definitely NOT a competition- but I'm just giving my opinion, that Slash is rather a poser to my eyes :P and has no soul in his playing. Maybe hat's just me, and I believe everyone is entitled to their respective opinions- just as I respect yours, friend :)
Gilad11235 1 year ago
@Gilad11235 ofc. i too respect your opinion. imo hendrix was definitely one of the best because of everything he's done for music, but in my eyes slash and gilmour are my favs (only picked up a guitar cause of them, mostly :P)
MysterioFan02 1 year ago
@MysterioFan02 haha, I picked it up because of Jimmy Page, and later on got influenced at least as much by Jimi as by Jimmy.... then Gilmour came along :P but no, Slash I've never seen right really xP
Gilad11235 1 year ago
@Gilad11235 No soul? If any guitarist in the world has soul and feeling Slash is the man. You're crazy dude,
robertsja9999 1 year ago
@robertsja9999 Page... Clapton... Beck... Knopfler... Gilmour... Frusciante... those are some of the live and well-known ones with soul. I don't count Slash among them; but maybe that's just me, and as good a guitar player as he may be, I don't hear the soul in him...
Gilad11235 1 year ago
@Gilad11235 you seriously just put ????ing frusciante in the same sentence as Jimmy PAGE, Eric Clapton Jeff Beck and David Tone Christ Gilmour, are you JOKING? He's absolutely nothing compared to them, let alone slash. the "soul"? Thats bullshit. Slash is an absolutely amazing songwriter with plenty of "soul". His riffs are the top of the top most recognizable riffs ever, that literally EVERYONE knows, even little somali kids. Sweet Child, paradise city, etc. Now thatsa musical accomplishment.
lemmywinks0600 1 year ago
@lemmywinks0600 hey hey let's relax, alright? First of all, in my POV, you are right- Frusciante is nothing compared to people like the others I put in- but what I mean by soul is not in the writing. Slash might be a brilliant writer. I'm talking about the playing; don't ask me to explain it, because I can't... riffs can be damned :P thing is, anything, absolutely anything that any of the above would play (with the *possible* exception of John, for your sake...)-
Gilad11235 1 year ago
@lemmywinks0600 would sound a LOT better than anything Slash would play, even if they play the same thing... not to mention Hendrix, who is pretty much the god of the guitar- he would sound orgasmic playing a broken broom let alone a guitar

Guess what: I love you and I don't even know you!! I'm sure you are a beautiful person with a lot to offer!! Let's focus on that!!
