Earth - Peace In Mississippi (Jimi Hendrix Cover)

[bipolarexpedition]

One night I was walking home & I made the mistake of taking a short cut through an alley. Two thugs in green raincoats blocked my path. I tried to talk some sense into them but they wouldn’t listen. This went on for about 10 or 15 minutes before I realized they weren’t thugs. In fact, they weren’t even people…… just two big green garbage bags. I walked around them. When I got home I made myself a ham sandwich. I wanted to put mustard on it, but there was none left.

the word cover is not even in the original title on pentastar LP, maybe a correct title would be "earth's rendition of jimi hendrix's peace in mississippi"

btw i think it's a '70 hemi cuda AAR

[Quickmart4]

Just want to say, that when Earth does a cover, the word cover is meant to be tongue in cheek. It's true in spirit and key and many notes, but distorted to be an Earth jam. I think it still counts as a cover since Earth's stylistic statement is such a core component of their appeal. If you hear a flaming lips cover, you want it to be radically different from the original, and the same goes for Earth.

[7hotfuzz7]

is that a cuda? or something else?

[jjooboo]

The original song was not really ready for release, we hear it in it development on “Crash Landing”. It just does not sound like a finished song. If you study Jimi’s work you can readily see what I’m talking about.

[PisauraXTX]

Hell yeah, they should make an ten-hour version of this so you can listen to it on the highway across the whole country... I don't need any other song than this one for the road.

@PisauraXTX kuhler typ

[PisauraXTX]

@KCgrill Beste evar, lo

[LoUsIf]

@PisauraXTX LMAO.. that would rule. this is perfect highway music..

[baldassaredegenes]

this is a cover-if it was techno we would call it a remix...it has jimi's vibe, and chords... just listen to brigitte bardot's "contact" and then the wooden shjips cover...and booka shade edit. different things, but still: covers.

[TheiosXaris]

It's not a cover. It's a tribute to the first drone/stoner song ever made.

[smp156]

this is the same "Earth" that had a record called something like "Graduate Studies in Eyeball Surgery"?

[Tilaron]

This is fucking terrible.

[aWorldCitizen9]

@Tilaron And by "terrible" I assume you mean great!

[MjXllcommando]

is that dylan doing the solos? it doesnt sound anything like him.

[TheCycadsAreAudible]

This ain't Jimi...it's a similar riff... but this is not a cover.

[alvarovalparaiso]

alvaro from valparaiso

[canttouchmymopar]

I love 2 things in life jimi and mopar.....you are the fucking man!!!

[SorrowOfTheMoon]

i like this, cause it is much psychedlicer than the original!

but jimi for ever!

[Houdini116]

Sounds like Jimi's tune to me. Jimi was playing both rhythm and lead, this they obviously have two separate tracks laid out. Same driving riff though.

[max300988]

@Houdini116

No, surely this song has Jimi's style and vibe, and i'm not denying that. But if you're doing a cover version , at least some parts(riffs) of the original song must be present in it, otherwise it's not a cover song, but a completely independent tune.

[Houdini116]

I'm just saying I think it's all there. Jimi's has the bass doing practically the same riff that the guitar in this track is doing, same open E chugging behind the lead guitar.

[lewars1912]

@Houdini116 Eb :)

[MarshallRoberts]

@max300988 Then it's not a cover. It's a remake.

[max300988]

@MarshallRoberts

You are right and wrong at the same time.

Cover and remake are synonyms.

So you can call it both ways, it doesn't matter.

[StoneDeafBand]

@max300988 I like to believe that a cover has to be mostly of the original artist's creative intent, and a remake is mostly of the person remaking the song's creative ideas.

[OnlySeanJohn]

@max300988 Cover and remake aren't synonyms. A cover version is a version of a currently popular song recorded by a band to capitalize on the song's already established "hit" status. A remake of a song is a revival of a song that is no longer popular.

[vandret]

Yeah indeed, they're totally different yet they both kick major asses

[sphacelated]

i totally agree, this doesnt sound similiar to the original in any way. both songs rule though.
