In New Orleans early 70's there was a band called BLACKMORE who played this as their opening number. The guitarist, Dave Johnson, was awesome. I never say a guy who played covers better than the originals. He did Page, Beck, Blackmore, Santana.....Love the space guitar on this one.
@beantownbig3 It's an epidemic on youtube. Stupid conformist fucks thinking they're all that, commenting the dislikes on all fucking videos. Like it fucking MATTERS. It's an internet site with a dislike button; so what?
@Bitterblogger That is very true. It's sad how the majority of us are governed by what radio stations want us to hear. Kindave like the general media, haha.
@FlakeyFreakout and i am not some grieving malcom mclaren fan out to do a bit of belated damage to the hippies, but the start of a lot of his solos sound like an elephant has farted into a bassoon which then passed into a wrinkly balloon that was burst accidentally by a blunt knitting needle on a single decker condensation soaked bus which is slipping slowly backwards through time after the driver stuffed three hundred and sixty heavily buttered corned beef sandwiches into the petrol tank.
This reminds me of driving in my friend's '57 Chevy in So. California in the fog during the late 60s, outside of L.A. in the unincorporated areas of fields and open land (and not in school). No worries. Fond memories.

Actually Voo my friend DJ'd a college graduation party 2 weeks ago, several hours after it started with everyone feeling good (about midnight) I suggested he crank this, he did and the freakin chicks went nuts!...even I was a little suprised to see girls losing shirts and swinging them around over their heads in time with the song.....I think moluvsage may have been right
Greatest guitarists of all time-
1. David Gilmour
2. Ritchie Blackmore
3. Robby Krieger
4. Pete Townshend
Sorry Hendrix, Clapton and Page, they were streets ahead of you...

the string in dp's studio version of hey joe is clearly better than hendrix's version.

ritchie was clearl better than hendrix.watched them both.tell tale of a great player is that he always uses the index finger.
permafrostist 1 year ago
mh... the riff sounds known to me. anyway this has, i'd say, an 87.9% hendrix influence
