Yeah, they were great writers, you have a real gift for the obvious. And what do the Stone's have to do with this other than they were they bad boys the beattles wished they could be? Someday you should pull your head out of your ass and read some of the things McCartney has said about Hendrix. He has a much better understanding of his talent than you do.
I was there! Front row right in front of Tommy's amp. CBLT Easter seals telethon in Toronto Canada. Stevie had just done a gig at Massey Hall I believe and this was recorded at about 2am. On a personal note, my father was the tv director of this telethon. My father was also the director of a TV show called 'In Session" which SRV did an appearance with Albert King. SRV... one o fthe greatest of all time.
Stevie even said that besides his brother Hendrix was his biggest influence.He said he never tried to walk in Hendrixs shoes but only wanted to do him justice.I would say Stevie was very successfull.Nobody mesmerises me like Stevie on the guitar.He was a genious.And yes blues started way before Stevie but few felt the music like Stevie
ALOT of these young cats today need to UNDERSTAND, blues didnt start with SRV, if he were alive today, he would tell they " HEY,LISTENto some t-bone, lightening hopkins, bb king, buddy guy, Hendrix even" His performance, style and some of his techniques ARE VERY MUCH HENDRIX INFLUENCED!. Even in how he dressed. Hendrix would be proud of him, he gave RESPECT and reverence to the music, as it has always been passed on. It not a race tot he finishline, this music is everlasting,
@01Shorthanded The Beatles did "change the planet," but that hardly had anything to do with exceptional guitar playing. They changed the world because they were the first real rock band and because of their perception of drugs. Listen to any Hendrix song and then listen to lennon's best and you'll see there is no comparison - Hendrix is much more technical and better.
at this level they are mostly equal...Hendrix, Clapton, SRV, Albert King, BB, Buddy Guy, Peter Green, Lennon, Beck jus enjoy they don't care who's better why should you?
@LiquorWreckedEmGood You're a fucking retard if you think Hendrix takes a backseat to anyone as an artist. Lennon was a great writer while being over-rated at everything else. Hendrix was a great composer while being a guitar virtuoso and proficient on many instruments. The Beattles made a bigger impact by being more commercialy acceptable, and coming along at the right time. As individuals, well....whatever.
Hendrix was not a great artist. Hendrix was a very good blues player who knew how to perform on stage. His lyrics were laughable. His songwriting was, for the most part, hit and miss (with an emphasis on the miss).
The Beatles' success cannot be simply dismissed by the statement "they came along at the right time". That is pure nonsense. The Beatles changed the entire face of popular music and left everyone else in the dust. They reinvented their music ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.
@LiquorWreckedEmGood Thanks for confirming it! You ARE a fucking retard! Other than going on drug and fake religion binges they re-invented shit! And they made their careers by making black R&B saleable to young white kids AT THE RIGHT TIME! Please stop embarasing yourself.
Oh please. What did you do? Watch a Beatles documentary one day and sleep thru 90% of it? I LIVED during that time pal. I KNOW what i'm talking about.
Drug binges? They smoked pot.
Fake religion? They eschewed religion. You couldn't BE more wrong.
Making black R&B sellable to white kids? That was Pat Boone you moron. The Beatles took R&B to a whole other place. If you don't understand that then you know nothing.
And last time I checked, retards didn't have 162 IQs.
@LiquorWreckedEmGood Yeah.. I was there too and I've read every shred on the beattles. Pot was the LEAST they did. And I guess you glossed over the whole Maharishi thing. No problem. Pat Boone cashed in well after the ball was rolling. You really are showing your ass now, you should quit while you can. I thought you knew too little about Hendrix to be commenting on him, but it seems you know even less about the beattles. My sympathies.
1. "Pot was the LEAST they did". They dropped acid. Big deal. Lennon got into heroin after the Beatles split. Pot and LSD are minor drugs. Stop trying to make them into a big deal. You're only making yourself look more foolish.
2. "the whole Maharishi thing". Had nothing to do with religion. The Beatles promoted peace and love. The Maharishi appeared to subscribe to that. When he made a pass at Mia Farrow's sister the Beatles saw that he was really just another huckster. So what?
The fact is Hendrix, for the most part, was a joke of a song writer. You can count his good songs on one hand. The Beatles wrote over 200, 99% of them hits. In any 3 year period Hendrix came nowhere near to outselling them. There's a reason for that.
Hendrix was a good blues player with a flashy act. The great majority of his live performances were very sloppy (to be kind). Compare those with the Rolling Stones who put out 110% in each and every show. Hendrix was a lesser artist.
What groove and feel, putting all that soul and emotion, flair and taste - these guys were a well sync'd machine as Hendrix and the Experience, and showy - in their own way. Jimi would dig it.
I see all the comments,funny.Im a hendrix fan,but stevie taught me how to play the guitar.and I can say,I like jimis studio version better,than srv's studio version in certain aspects,but I thin srv's was just as good if not better lyrically and played,jimis sounded better to me.but if listening to live recordings I think srv nailed it every time,jimi was to f-d up on stage,he usually was out of tune,and couldnt find his trail,srv always tuned himself and his guitar in,everytime.I love it.
SRV was drugged out of his mind also. But that ended in 1986. If you listen to him say... 1988-1990, you'll hear him clean sober and on top of his game. Listen to the live bootlegs and you'll hear the truth bro.
@AshburnFilmWorks Hey dont take it personnal,I never said srv wasnt a druggie,we all know he was,I was simply saying my opinion that I like srv better.And Ive heard all his recordings,Jimis also.dont get me wrong kind of makes me mad you think Im shitting on a legend,love hendrix.just like srv better.never could anyone be better than the origianal recordings,hendrix was on it.
I agree with shutemdwn...both Jimi and Stevie had their own sound. Stevie's sound was INFLUENCED by Jimi, but he created his own unique sound and used it to pay homage to Hendrix, Buddy Guy and all of his other heroes by covering their music. Enjoy it for what it is and not what you wish it was...
DAMN! That dude could play guitar, make the hair on the back of your neck stand up! One of the best guitarist that ever set foot on this little planet we call Earth!. Now, I was reading some of the comments so I must put my two cents in. You can't say that Hendrix was better or Vaughn was better. His version is this and the others version was that. Oh,and my favorite down there, "He sure had the Hendrix sound down." Lol, FAIL! That doesn't sound anything like Hendrix, which is the point.
Hendrix was amazing because he had his OWN sound, and his own amazing gift to let his soul speak through his guitar. And likewise with Vaughn. Sure, they both play the blues, they kinda play the same genre of music, so of course there are similarities. But if you really listen, two very different sounds, both equally and absolutely AMAZING! Sorry for the rant, it's just that I always see these arguments about these two and it hurts me to see that people are completely missing what's important.
I am a fan of both and all great guitarists but just my preference I like Stevies version better than Hendrix.Also IMO he is the one of the best and my favorite of all guitarists.
as good as stevie was, he does not get as many subtle texture overtones as hendrix, and srv is more predictable overplaying same riffs too many times, but hendrix was more spontaneous with a more raw sound that was deeper and more wild, cheers
@BlackMusicGenre Hendrix definitely has the greater composition ability. But, being a fan of both Jimi and SRV, I say let's not try to compare them. Jimi isn't a texas blues player, and SRV isn't a phsycodelic rock player (though, yes, I do recognize that he was a big influence of Stevie's, and himself can be considered a blues artist). Another thing: SRV would have never tried to claim that he was as good as , or better than Hendrix.
@flashlight067 Well , that's true . SRV was in the spotlight so the odds of him taking the arrogant approach would be highly unlikely . I like them both as well , but at the end of the day I like Hendrix a little more . SRV himself said... " There's only one Jimi Hendrix .I just try to do my best copying him". I guess you like SRV a little but more . Your views and my views on this subject are different ,but I can agree to disagree. That's alright with me .
Ok... In Texas, this is what's called "Tune low, turn it up, and floor it!!" Even in the drug addled state he was in at this time, he still had access to the channel of natural musicianship. I have studied this man for many a year now. This is the first time that I've seen or heard this cut of "Voodoo"..and I have to say: Stevie...you have rendered me, yet again, into an absolute state of awe and amazement.
Yeah, they were great writers, you have a real gift for the obvious. And what do the Stone's have to do with this other than they were they bad boys the beattles wished they could be?
