  • Anyway I could get a download of this?

  • Jimi NEVER recorded House of the Rising Sun ever...fact~!

  • awful,an amateur,Jimi doesn't play that bad and out of tune,this is horrible!!!a HOAX for deaf people !!

  • There were a lot of albums pulled in the early 80s for being fake Hendrix. To me, a 30 years plus Hendrix fan. No, it doesn't have the Hendrix feel when he improvises. None of the nuances that made Hendrix great. Hendrix mistakes were better than this guys best effort. Sorry.

  • any true fan knows this is NOT Hendrix.. This isn't even Clapton.. there's no heart or soul in the playing..

  • Sounds like clapton

  • From the album "In the beginning" (1972)

  • It's pretty absurd that people believe this is Hendrix. To be generous, I can just barely sympathize with you if you aren't a fan of guitar playing, and it all sounds like guitar noise to you. But to people who are familiar with Hendrix's insanely distinct and unprecedented sound, it is obvious that this guitarist isn't worthy of wiping Hendrix's ass; there is no rhythm or attitude whatsoever. Yes, he is playing minor pentatonic blues licks on an overdriven guitar, but there the similarity ends.

  • @bonykingofnowhere ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,yes Hendrix...........ONE of a kind,,,,,,,as Clapton put it the nilght he went to see him for the first time in an underground tavern in Britain,,,,,,,,,"think were ( all current guitarists) gonna have to find another line of work " ..........Gone too soon !!!! RIP

  • @bonykingofnowhere sounds like page in all fairness.

  • the style is different, hendrix is best

  • @klauditofull100 Usted estúpido quiere ser mexicano. El CD de mierda está en línea en el tirón del Amazonas su cabeza fuera de asno y va a coger al Imbécil de la mirada.

  • @Kelebrinlith aprende a hablar español, pedazo de mierda

  • @klauditofull100 Usted verruga anal que coge. Puedo hablar y escribir las idiomas una docena. Desemejante de usted soy educado e inteligente. Usted apenas está cagado en mis zapatos. ¡Peon! You are fucking moron unable to admit you too stupid to comprehend you own ignorance.

  • tHIS IS NOT HENDRIX

  • I have the album sitting in front of me. It is called the Jimi Hendrix story and this is same song on that album.

  • It is Jimi no doubt. No one plays as raunchy and messy as this. He has a way of making it sound good on the high notes.

  • I know its Hendrix..I bought this on a bootleg LP like over 30 yrs ago...

  • is this really the house of the rising dun I didn't hear anything who like the animals

  • this is hendrix people i found the number on a cd of his own so yeah its hendrix and if youre really into hendrix then you should listen to his early work, youll find out that it sounds lot like this

  • @preatorian4ever could you be more specific pls? what is the cd?

    so many people believe its not JH, you tell it different

  • @2307nike uhhm ill find out for you lets see the number is on the cd in the beginning which was released in 1972 but i know it from the cd Hey Joe wich which i have O.o if you search the internet very good youll find the cd with the track on it but on this cd's the track also exists: gold collection (disc 1), Best of Jimi Hendrix (disc 2), Modern Blues: The Gold Collection (disc 2), The Best Of, The Jimi Hendrix Story, Volume 3, A Musical Legacy - Disc 1. so what do you think?

  • @2307nike you should look @ the lastfm site youll find it there

  • @preatorian4ever yep. absolutely. its clear for me now that JH performs this one. thank you!

  • @preatorian4ever Clearly you're the one who should listen to Hendrix more if you can't tell that this is obviously not him. People think it's Hendrix because it was released on an album called "In the Beginning" in the 70's by some shady record label who used 5 Hermon Hitson songs (there were only 6 tracks of the entire record) on it and called it Hendrix to take monetary advantage of his name. This is definitely Hermon Hitson and you should probably stop spreading misinformation.

  • Not only isn't it the Jimster, this isn't even a particularly good guitarist. Some semi-decent teenager could have cranked this out in his basement.

  • NOT Jimi

  • So, I'm certain this isn't actually Jimi. but it is  a smokin' hot cover nonetheless. whoever it is.

  • I find the debate raging underneeth me painfully uninteresting. I couldn't care less who made this piece, but it sure is awesome...

  • THIS IS NOT HENDRIX !!!

  • @klauditofull100 It is from a 4 CD set called the Jimi Hendrix Story and has 52 songs on it many not on other albums that were cut for space. This is Hendrix.

  • @Kelebrinlith Why are you pathetically lying on here? I, unline you, actually have the Lifelines: The Jimi Hendrix Story 4 CD collection in my hands right now and have owned it for over a decade. This isn't on the collection and this recording isn't on any of Jimi Hendrix's official albums because THIS IS NOT JIMI HENDRIX. This is Herman Hitson's cover and you're a fool for saying otherwise.

  • @klauditofull100 Maybe you should take a look around before babbling your arrogance. I have the fucking CD in my hand. What an asshole!

  • @Kelebrinlith entonces muestra el cd que dices tener, vago bastardo

  • @klauditofull100 yes it is . jimi did a instrumental of the song . get your facts right

  • @PatarTheGreat123 It's hilarious and ironic that you're telling anyone to get their facts right when you're one here perpetuating misinformation like a fool. Anyone who is even a casual fan of Hendrix can clearly hear that this is definitiely not him playing. This is Herman Hitson's cover and that's an undeniable fact.

  • @klauditofull100 but it's cool

  • To mumulove: Thanks for that!...started my morning with a good laugh re your "experience" in 'Nam-- sure Jimi would have the biggest laugh of all, wish he was still here to do jokes and impersonations, and probably makin fun of himself just like u describe...cause, really, he was just a humble West Coast kid who could use the electric guitar to express all of his emotions joy, anger, sadness, love, humour,....

    God bless....

  • This is Jimi man...I was there...in Nam...We recorded it on a medics radio. Even Charlie put their rifles down and stopped to listen. 3 Chppers fell out of hte sky and exploded when Jimi smashed his guitar on the side of a bamboo hut. We spent the rest of the day washing Jimi's naked black body in the pacific ocean, Americans and Charlie alike, just to get a touch of this soon to be legend of the electric guitar. Jimi flew away like Jesus that day and the next time I saw him was at Woodstock.

  • Jimi did record in Nashville around August 1963, when he was 20 years old...I believe these sessions were never released and scrapped because his playing although extremely good at that time (per Steve Cropper) was probably "noisy" to the clean ears of the Nashville engineers/producers ...

  • Is it me or does this sound more like while my guitar gently weeps than house of the rising sun.

  • jimi did have a sound like this once but i doubt its him playing now

  • 176784 vezes vista e tu diz que esta versão nãoé conhecida , I believe you make a mistake

  • Jimi was in a lot of hole in the wall studios recording and after he got famous the usual suspects put his pic on album covers and SOMETIMES had another guitarist try to "do" Jimi - this track is one of them...but he did cut some nice sessions before he was famous (and even after) for his "friends" at J===y Sound and others...not sure wherever the hell this was cut....

  • @xach1090 Sorry my comment lacked continuity, but yeah; check out those websites I mentioned in my first comment. Too much evidence supports this as being Jimi, but in his early days with the Isley Brothers.

  • and it is Hendrix, it was the album In The Bennining released in 1972, Hendrix wasnt the band leader, saxophonist Lonnie "Youngblood" was, this is Hendrix's guitar playing in June of 1996 or earlier, before he was in the Jimi Hendrix experience and before he became very famous, it is Hendrix

  • @cheeseppuff Hendrix wasn't alive in 1996, sorry

  • @cheeseppuff I have got that album too cz i thought it was gonna be Jimi playing but i very quickly found out he isn't actually playing on it apart from I think one track maybe and this one it aint, sorry to burst your bubble mate but this isn't the late great Jimi Hendrix and it's since been proven it's not him, just do your research.

  • @cheeseppuff Don't you mean 1966 or earlier lol

  • Who the hell cares who it is, shut the hell up and listin to the great song

  • screwed up. it's lonnie youngblood, not alan. still, definitely not jimi hendrix. check it out for your selves.

  • this is not jimi hendrix. this is that phony Lonnie youngblood crap . this is shit. shit selling on fake crap bootlegs. NOT HENDRIX. IF YOU BUY THIS SONG, YOU GOT DICKED

  • this is not jimi hendrix. this is that phony alan youngblood crap . this is shit. shit selling on fake crap bootlegs. NOT HENDRIX. IF YOU BUY THIS SONG, YOU GOT DICKED

  • Lovely version from the this amazing Artist.

  • 100% hendrix! bought a4 cd set 15 years ago, reare hendrix stuff..this was on it..sold by Tower records

  • @jacktancap this IS NOT Jimi Hendrix. Just because it says so on the cheapo album you bought...it doesn't take much research to know you are incorrect. I wish people would stop posting these Hendrix fakes!

  • guys... it's Jimi Hendrix.... if you read his biography, this was a song he recorded before he was famous I like it a lot and it's obvious Jimi had 20 minutes left in the studio and thought 'fuck it, might as well jam' and did it over house of the rising sun. Thumbs up so people can know.

  • Its pretty good,but not Jimi. Coz if it would be Jimi it wouldnt be a song,it would be some power of nature.

  • i don't give a fuck if it is Jimi or not this cover is the mother fucking shit god damn just stfu and let the guitar and the bass move through you

  • not Hendrix...definitely!

  • its his early work. and its definitely Jimi. I have this on an old vinyl.

  • @thatwalrusguy I dont doubt that you have the lp ....but i still dont think it is ...i think its an imatation -though to be fair ..i have heard early hendrix sound a bit like this ...but i still say it isnt - no matter what is written on the LP .Could you tell me what LP it is ?

  • @TheMichaelseymour Its just labeled Jimi Hendrix on the front, and its got a big psychedelic mural of Jimi as the cover, and its got a few recordings of Jimi playing in New York City i believe. the first track on there is hey leroy

  • @thatwalrusguy

    i have the vynil too ;)

    is definitely jimi :)

  • @lnwolfgr i have the copy from bellaphon the code of the album is 220-07-007 and my friend @thatwalrusguy yes the first track is HEY LeROY ;) free spirit, is the next one house of the rising, sun the third 4 something you got 5 let the god sing 6 she's a fox. And is all instrumental album
  • @thatwalrusguy The Free Spirit album right ?

  • @championofhardrock yes i believe so!

  • @thatwalrusguy yea i have it lying around somewhere too ;)

  • Ya know how i know this is not hendrix ? ....cos the bloke had soulful vibrato -this is feeble -like kirk hammett - weak and ineffectual - thats how i know .

  • @TheMichaelseymour guess what. it's hendrix, i have this on vinyl. its on a album with some pre-Experience stuff that Jimi did.

  • This is not Jimi. I have been a fan for over 25 years and it doesn't have Jimi's brilliance. Just be honest, listen to it. Jimi was so much better than this. Not that this is bad.

  • Nonsense. This is not Hendrix. It's not a stratocaster and there's a rythm guitar player. It's Big Brother and the Holding Company.

    I've been playing guitar and listening to Hendrix for over forty years.

  • If you play this backwards it sounds just like Justin Bieber.

  • I don't care this is Hendrix's or not It still sound very great.

  • Come down! This was (is) never Jimi! Everbody who want told us thats Jimi is a liar and everbody who plays a little bit guitar or knowing somthing about must feel it! Right?

  • This Is not Hendrix. 1st...sounds too "clean" for a non remastered version + has no vinyl or oldies TASCAM "feeling" (aka Noise :P )2nd.. Two guitars??? WTF!- 3rd...licks and arrangements are not Hendrix like...and 4th...and 5th...6th.....

  • the hendrix estate would not allow such garbage to be released even if it was him.also the way this was recorded didnt exist pre experiance. you obviuosly take us all for morons you fkn stooge. there isnt ONE lick on this garbage that is indicative of his prowess. that tone is offensive he would never NEVER NEVER even hear that tone. nice try sonny. your up way past your bed time.

  • This is jimi hendrix' for sure,,, i have this song on vynil... its called Free Spirit , whit a big picture of hendrix playing guitar up front.. cant miss

  • Thats a white boy playin guitar,,,,,for sure.

  • no way is that jimi hendrix... nothing like him. (and the band don't sound like any group of musicians jimi ever played with).

  • i also get a Clapton vibe from it. It sounds alot like While my Guitar gently weeps

  • Doesn't sound like Hendrix @ all...

  • I just dont hear the Hendrix in it. after further review it is not hendrix but Hitson

  • Sounds more Clapton than Hendrix to me.

  • kulu change of heart on youtube

  • Not Jimi

  • if this is realy jimy here I think this is when he was sober

  • I'm Gay

  • I would just like to point out that at about 1:40 there are wrong notes. Who in their right mind would think JIMI HENDRIX would leave wrong notes in a recording???! He very rarely played wrong notes LIVE. If ever, to be honest. Why would he play such a SIMPLE rendition of the song? Since when has Hendrix played simple songs? Never, is the answer :)

  • @FUNKADELIChicken Scratch that, 1:39 even :P

  • @FUNKADELIChicken

    Every, even the best guitarists play "wrong notes" form time to time! If you attend concerts personally, you will know this (the "wrong notes" only don't make it onto the recordings most of the time). That said, there isn't something like "wrong notes" when imrpovising.

    And then get the 4 hours diretor's cut of Woodstock. On this you will here Hendlix playing lots of wrong notes as you call it. Sometimes only sounding "wrong" bacause the guitar is completely out of tune.

  • @FUNKADELIChicken Uh check Wild Thing, at the Live at Monterey album... the song starts with a cacophony of untuned guitarplaying... nevertheless it is Hendrix it is is AWESOME.

  • Its not even played with a band its just produced with a computer and the fact that you re discussin it.. oh fuck youre all a bunch auf idiots suck my german ass

  • who cares who it is... its a good song anyway

  • one note? ritard.

  • I just went to a website called EarlyHendrixdotcom, it has a list of recordings that were released under Jimi's name and are actually fakes. This was listed as being Hermon Histon. The site gives some info behind this, I was suprised to see alot of stuff Ive seen or owend before to be on that list. Its a cool site for any Hendrix fans to check out. Its nice to see people so passionate about Hendrix still.

  • @cinxanyo I agree with you. "Jimi is written all over this" "The mood and flow give it away." Who played drums on this? It's Ringo Starr. Paul McCartney's on bass. I can tell by the mood and flow.

  • anyways, it's good to listen to this.

  • not jimi

  • No, Its not me and its barely "The House of the Rising Sun"

    Jimi

  • No, Its not me.

    Jimi

  • this is Hermon Hitson (not Herman) No HENDRIX involement on this track

  • Herman Hitson and not Jimi Hendrix ^^

  • that is to Jimi u all caps writing fag

  • @matttharat1 KEEP FOLDING THE TIN FOIL AND DRINKING THE KOOL AID AT AREA 51. STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES (thats YOU MATTTHARAT!).

  • THIS SONG IS IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM HAS ANY HENDRIX INVOLVEMENT. IF YOU THINK IT DOES-- YOURE MISS-INFORMED AND YOUR TONE DEAF. THIS IS THE GUTAIR WORK OF HERMAN HITSON. FOR CHRIST SAKES, IF YOU DONT KNOW SOMETHING, TAKE THE TIME TO FUCKING FIGURE IT OUT. THIS INCORRECT CRAP GETS PASSED ON AND ON AND ON MAKING A WHOLE VILLAGE OF IDIOTS.

  • it is on my hendrix album, it equals in 100%, so it is obviously hendrix.

  • doesnt have the triplets jimi's known for.

  • @MrTennis88 jimi played guitar for the first time when he was 15 so....

  • Sounds like Davy Allen, not Jimi

  • Does not sound like Jimi, and I never heard of him covering this song.

  • not jimi

    

  • My opinion: sounds nothing like Hendrix. He was a hell of a lot more creative than that. I could have played this thing. It has none of his tone or style. Maybe its a recording he made when he was 13 and just learning, but not very likely.

  • this guitar work is decent....

    that being said it's definitely not hendrix. It's something that was prbly recorded by some 20 something year old and titled it as hendrix so he'd feel special

  • It's not Jimi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!What you say!!??!

  • Absolutely nothing to do with Jimi.

  • This is not Hendrix, and did not appear on the album moods or on any of the tracklistings for any of his albums. Also lol, "studying Hendrix for 35 years" As he was only musically active for about 7 years you must be a slow learner mate. But of course anyone who claims you're wrong is "obviously not a musician" (lol again.)

  • This one of about a dozen songs to fill out JH records by Chalpin and others. They're fakes. They are MEANT to fool you. One third of about 150 records is all real (some though still hd orig backing track replaced. onother third had all modified real songs and last third had at least half were the fake ones.

  • after he died, there were numerous tracks that he had put together, some from playing around, some from actual recording! If I recall, the entire album "Moods" was made up of recordings that were released after his OD. The fact that his piece does not have the flair or smoothness of what some know of him does not mean he did not do it! What it means is that he did it and chose not to release it at the time! .......perhaps and "experiment"!?!?!?!?!

  • this version of the song was in fact released by Hendrix on an album called "Moods" that I bought when I was in US high school in Germany in 1972. I have never been able to locate a copy, and the best info I have ever received about it was a release outside of US, after his death! If anyone has ever heard or seen Hendrix, they would no doubt know that this is is cut of The House of the Rising Sun! Searching LimeWire for anything, gets you just that.....anything!

  • it is NOT Jimi....whomever is playing this isnt even close to Jimi

  • This is not hendrix, when you search on lime wire under the name of "jimi hendrix" this song appears there...

  • Might be an early Hendrix recording. Has his style and riffs, not the power of his fully matured playing though. It sounds like him, just doesn't feel like him- like a hurricane ripping through your chest.

  • This is as Jimi as I am Joe Satriani

  • jeeeeezz calm down iorr98. haha

  • это нечто!!!!

  • couldnt be hendrix, he had the most subtle tone and unique tone ever, and its a bit basic for hendrix too

  • Yeah, well I have been studying Hendrix since 1970- and this is not his lead playing- phrasing is all wrong, no finesse, tuneless and clumsy as hell in parts....

    Standard early 70's blaxploitation groove.

  • Masterpiece!

  • Nasty. Jimi's rollin over in his grave.

  • This is Jimi allright, it takes one note for me to identify any blues guitar player, as a guitarist I have been studying Hendrix for 35 years. Anyone who claims that is not Hendrix is obviously not a musician so STFU. Go listen to his early work before shooting your asswiped mouth.

  • @iorr98 If you've been studying Hendrix for 35 years and you think this is him, you need hearing aids. Whoever this is doesn't have half of Jimi's musicality. Lord save us from youtube know-it-alls.

  • @iorr98 this isnt jimi at all you fucking failure

  • @iorr98 "I'm right, so I'm right" amirite?

  • @iorr98 : This is not Hendrix man, this is too basic...

  • @iorr98 not even close to jimi.....

  • @iorr98 hahahaha sure...

  • @iorr98 @iorr98 This is definitely not Hendrix. I've been playing the guitar for many decades too and a hard fan of Jimi. You have a problem with your ear, probably.

  • @iorr98 I've also been "studying" Jimi's music since the release of Hey Joe in December 1966 and I don't know who the hell this is but it's definitely not Jimi. I've been playing the guitar for 41 years, however lots of people who aren't "musicians" should also be able to tell that this isn't Jimi. Google it and you should be able to get some info.

  • @lewars1912 Yea this sounds like it comes from the Lonni youngblood sessions that are touted as having Jimi on guitar but are now known to be fake

  • @lewars1912 As soon as I heard this, for sure knew it wasnt Jimi. I do like it though. I think the bassist was drunk in this song or something.

  • Comment removed

  • @lewars1912 Thanks I'll look into it.

  • @iorr98 There is no chance this is Hendrix. This guy is just another run of the mill improviser - Jimi walks all over any songs he does, covers or no.

    Whereas Jimi would rip this song to shreds, this artist does nothing but solo like a superfluous blues wannabe with no creativity. Go study some more blues.

  • @iorr98 I think you need your ears syringed. There is not even a passing resemblance to Hendrix's playing here — early or late. But imagine what he could have done with it!

  • @iorr98 I'm sorry to blow your bubble but it's Herman Hitson, not Jimi Hendrix.

  • @iorr98 If you seriously think this sounds anything like Hendrix, you wasted 35 years.

  • absolutely right. this is not hendrix. By the way jacktancap, you got screwed 15 years ago. I bought the same set at about that time, and I know that's not hendrix. most of that album/cd has nothing to do with jimi hendrix. we got duped because jimi was on the cover. trust me, NOT HENDRIX!!!!!!

  • @freakshow1366 I pity the guy who "studied" Jimi 35 years and still has not the faintest clue what Jimi is about. The guitarist on this record has no ability to groove ( or even play in time) and no rhythmic inventiveness. This is a passable drummer and a competent but totally minimal hammond player plus some beginner-level players on lead, rhythm and bass. It doesn't even sound like a bad copy of Jimi, it's more like a bad copy of Jimmy Page.

  • @iorr98 ha ha somebodys abit touchy

  • @iorr98 this is absolutely not hendrix so much for 35 years of studying

  • @iorr98 sorry dude but you're totally wrong... but this is something hendrix could've done very well with the house of the rising sun

  • @iorr98 id love you to be wrong. id laugh so much

  • @iorr98

    I can't believe there are smartasses here that think they can "recognize" a Hendrix song by listening to it alone. And to the guy saying he studied for 35 years, I researched this song and it was made by Hermon Hitson, you fucking retard. As if listening to the song wasn't enough to know it's not Jimi. This song doesn't have neither the fuzz or the vibe Hendrix songs have, noob. Go listen to Hitson and you will know this ain't Hendrix. Stupid cunt.

  • @iorr98 When have you heard Hendrix's tone ever sound like that? It's not him. Nice 35 years of studying Hendrix there.

  • @iorr98 Calm down gay boy.

  • @iorr98 You have been "studying hendrix for 35 years" but you use an acronym such as STFU and the phrase "asswiped mouth".... very professional.... That's not Hendrix.

  • @Skateronastick I agree. His studying Hendrix for 35 years sure as hell didn't improve his attitude.

  • @iorr98 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHA..... hold on.... I think I'm finished... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA X***D...... Oh my..... HAHAHA.... whew...... Sorry, buddy, but you don't know shit.

  • love the " porn movie " bassline

  • This is Hermon Hitson! Research that guy! :D

  • its on the "Best Of" of hendrix i bough some years ago. definately him

  • you know whats funny, thats not a jimi hendrix guitar....supposed to be a lefty flip....dededeeeee

  • I just bought a Hendrix album on vinyl this weekend titled In The Beginning , it has this version on it.

  • @bigczech7  You should return it and get your money back :)

  • @lewars1912 No I think Ill keep it, I bought it because of the album cover it looks like somone drew it by hand, pretty wierd looking, I only paid a few bucks.

  • sounds like something Iron Butterfly would do.

  • Hear the guitar crying. Isnt it pure? The player makes the guitar cry. I think he is Jimmy. But who cares. Call him Jimmy, call me John, he is a genius, i dont need to know the player to enjoy the piece.
