I actually don't like this "malmsteem" shredding soloing, but I think it's a very powerful version, and it's hard to guitar player to put his own style in a hendrix song, since the guitar player must have a good knowledge of music to do so, not just be a reproducer of something he learned and repeated exhaustively. Although it's not my style, it takes a good musician to play hendrix like Phil X does.
Hey Phil, I'm also Phil (or Philip actually)!! I've gotta say that you've greatly inspired me!! You play exactly all of the songs that are my style and you have an incredible voice!!! Hope you keep keep living, playing and inspiring for a really long time!!!
I have played this in bars for the last 20 years and this is by far the best version I have ever heard! So much energy and passion in that guitar. Nice styling.
It was good. The fills in the beginning were cool and in the Hendrix style but when you started improvising the solo (which was very impressive) I was a little disappointed in the style. It was waay to 80's for a Hendrix song, especially Fire. The arpeggios and dive bombs seemed out of place.
@Ulquiorrapwns- yeah but that's just how Phil X rolls ;) He's man of the eighties- I guess it's in his blood. Check out his version Little Wing or Foxy Lady, they're a bit more traditional.
go look up the last 4 Tommy Lee CD's, Rob Zombie (House of 100 Corpses), Alice Cooper, Daughtry, Andrew WK, Avril Lavigne, Triumph, Frozen Ghost, Aldo Nova... but top of the list look up Powder Up Here. He and his amazing (Juno Award Winning) wife Ninette are what Paul Stanley from KISS (you might of heard of them) calls "THE best live show I have seen in 20 years"... Rolling Stone Magazine (you might not get it where you live) say Powder is the "best unsigned band in Los Angeles".
Good memory! The song was done twice and I was playing with mixing the end of the second version with the first. There was incomplete audio for the second version. Just experimenting with different things. Glad you like the videos, and keep watching....Hotel California and Snortin' Whiskey are edited and waiting for some color correction.
And for the matter monkeyman, music is to be enjoyed, not critiqued. If you don't like it, "F@#K OFF" and listen to something else. Cause Phil X fans are true to rock and its music and if you are not into it, then see above you ignorrant GIT.
Well Phil X has 2 bands with more than four albums between them. Do you get paid to play? Get back in your cave of ignorance you ''TOOL". Let's see your skills before you pass judgement you hypocritical doche-bag. Like you said " YOU SUCK".
She can really sing. I am talking about the guitar- just insane
