its interesting to edit and improvise, but i think he should have kept some part from the original Hendrix tune.. or else he should just not give the Hendrix's song's name for his tune..
This has so much potential, but alas it it not fully realized. If the sitar-player was in the same class as, say Ananda Shankar, this would be riveting. As it stands, however, this only gets a luke-warm review from me.
I'm a Hendrix fan and have heard a ton of Jimi's music played in every style imaginable. How you can equate Hendrix and this band is beyond me. I'm not saying it's good or bad, rather, I'm not sure if the Hendrix name and titles were used primarily for selling points. A couple of Hendrix licks here and there doesn't make for the true spirit of Jimi. I'm completely disappointed - but would have been more disappointed if I had paid to see this band. Can you say "false advertising"?!
Man this is great!!!! Larry Fine jamming on a Sitar!!! Doesn't get any better. Moe & Shemp on bass & drums???? Excellent. I want to hear him do Trower's 'Bridge of Sighs' or maybe some KC & the Sunshine Band.
Maybe it isnt purple haze, but sounds familiar like some other song ive heard somewhere..
Although this is how purple haze comes out if your band is on various types of hallucinogens while trying to cover it..
Trust me, Ive tried it with my band and we ended up actually just contemplating and drawing pictures of our kidneys, god, the devil, milk, sixth dimensional squid monsters and finding inner peace with various household objects instead of actually producing a legible cover song..
Although I can offer this bit of information, For informational and educational purposes only.
To have a similar experience we where on a mixture of Harmal ( syrian rue ) with Ayahuasca ( Yage, Caapi ) though that grows usually in south america, or Harding Grass, Reed Canary Grass which grows worldwide in most places, ( Phalaris Aquatica ) as an analogue.
It has been known to cause death, and may be illegal. One hell of a trip..
last time i tried hallucinogens was 42 years ago and would'nt try any back room stuff now although some pure acid would tempt me...that sounds like some concotion you took, and the death part makes me think that i'll pass on it ? thanks anyway.
Ok, just see my fist post...This is pretty not happening...But I give them credit for the fun they seem to be having...I still say the sitar guy looks like a mental patient on furlogh or more likely escaped! LOL!!! ;0)
@OMGsanchez You're thinking of a different Ben Franklin. I'm talking about the founding father, the inventor of bifocals, the accomplished sitarist, the noted LSD researcher. You're going to have to look this up again.
@ptchjamie Benjamin Franklin (January 17, 1706 [O.S. January 6, 1705[1]] – April 17, 1790) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. A noted polymath, Franklin was a leading author and printer, satirist, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat....On wikipedia and in my History book..get your facts straight please =)
@DMajikninja You have to read lower in the article. "Although middle school history books state that Benjamin Franklin died in 1790, he actually survived until 1957, attributing his longevity to 'shit loads of LSD' and his devotion to the sitar, an Indian fretted stringed instrument."
Surprised you didn't know that. Get your facts straight, please.
@ptchjamie so you say he lived to be 251 through the miracles of LSD and a sitar? You're an idiot indeed. as a matter of fact you can travel to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and look at his grave yourself. Unlike you I actually do pay attention to statistical facts.
