this seems like a real question that is easy enough to answer. This is a Jimi Hendrix song. This is a devo "cover," much like their brain-popping "Can't Get No (Satisfaction)" cover.
-Jimi loved THE GOON SHOW from BBC radio back in the fifties -The idea of him cackling (probably in a cool New York accent) at Spike Milligan & Peter Sellar`s crazy surreal comedy is a timeless image.
Very, very deep structure, one of Devo's best. You have to go throught puberty two or three times before you get it..."but you will if you take hold of my hand"...
I CANNOT even begin to Thank you enough for having this RARE treat to share with us all. I LOVED this. My friends hated it. I still think it's an incredible reinterpretation.And Grooooovy!
Focused by 1980's scientific heathenism and almost fictional technological advancement, comes the specter of none other than Jimi Hendrix, racing through the ether of time-space and compelled by forces beyond our control or understanding, to bring a taste of harmony and spiritual advancement, only to return to his contrived, static grave. Truly the greatest achievement of any historical epoch.
I've always liked this cover, even though the production probably could have been better.
I don't understand, however, why at least 4 people gave your comment a "Poor" rating. I guess some people can't handle contrary opinions... So much for your "Freedom of Choice."
I absolutely loved this from the moment I first heard it. I think this is one of Devo's best covers and one of the group's most trippy dance songs, next to "That's Good". Shout may have been the worst Devo album to come along, but this was definitely a good song from it.
This is from their album Shout. True it was not their best work but the songs were still good. It got some play on KROQ at the time. This is a funny remake of the song Jimi probably did turn over in his grave.
I'm the first to say that Devo was one of the most original bands to ever hit the 80's. And one of the most inspirational ever. But, this is a low point in all of the great work they did. Suck ass remake. And an insult to Jimi. I now remember when this came out. I wish I had not found it again. I'll quit looking.
Hell'ya they were one of the first. In adition to being extraordinary musicians, Devo were also very creative visual and performing artists who pionered music video, took musical theatre to a new level and began a whole new revolution in imagery and performance. Now did Hendrix do THAT at all? Lets give Devo their due. They were true and total renaisance guys.
Whether you love them or hate them, DEVO is a major music innovator. The guys have influenced those from underground to main stream pop culture. Just watch TV. They have had direct influence in everything from cartoons to advertising commercials. Quite a large spectrum for any business musicians. They continue to create in fields way beyond just music!!! Open Ur eyes and look around!!
(contd. from below. This damn character limit) And Devo truely are among the most brilliant and imaginative creative acts in music history who'd, for a time, taken both music and imagery into the space age before all you'r heavy metal, neo-60's and grunge neanderthals came along and set it back again. I'm only sory that Devo did'nt manage to totaly exterminate you assholes. So therefore, go take a fleabath!
And piss on all you stupid guitar hero idolizing ( the phallic factor ) hippy dolts, piss on you'r icons and piss on you'r "late 60's & early 70's,...Good but 80's,..Baaaaad" bullshit. I'm one person who just does'nt buy it.
Actualy I dont consider this the greatest thing Devos ever done. No I much prefer Devos own original tunes. Like give me 'Beutiful World, Mongoloid, Too Much Paranoias, Goin Under, Speed Racer, Gates of Steel, Blockhead, Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA or 'Jocko Homo over this song here, or any other by Hendrix for that matter.
Actualy I dont consider this the greatest thing Devo's ever done. No I much prefer Devo's own original tunes. Like give me 'Beutiful World, Mongoloid, Too Much Paranoias, Goin Under, S
Are You Experienced was written by Jimi Hendrix and first preformed by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. It was released on the first album by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, which was also called Are You Experienced.
Funy, is'nt it, how these ignorate baby boomer hippie neanderthals, exemplified by this dumb lox below, were formerly consiserd the "progresives" in their heyday yet became, by the 1980's, the very ones who were trying to halt and belitle progres and inovation! Well this, my fellow spuds, was part of what Devo were comenting on and reacting against.
Well Devo were pretty amazing too in their own right fool. Piss on you'r stupid little childe of the sixties generational bias you ignorate stuck in the mud hipie neanderthal! Inovation did'nt stop with the sixties. I cant wait till you all just die off.
You can't compare the two, they're complete opposites in their styles of music. They were both leaders in innovation and creativity. Equally awesome for their time....DUMBASS!
Have loved this since it came out on 'Shout!'.and have been a devolutionized spudboy for years(since their beginning).Glad to see so many on here that still enjoy this video!
ah yes! prime mvt when kooky was cool. we need these guys today! everybody kook out!!screw you french tards commenting on this what the hell does france have to offer? like forever?
Maybe I'm just stupid, but I don't see how this is an attack on hippies, a parody of Hendrix, or anything more than Devo just having fun covering a rock legend and making a cool video. Am I missing something here?
J'ai découvert Devo avec cette reprise de Jimi Hendrix ! Ce fut un choc musical et culturel quand je me mis à acquérir la quaso totalité de la discographier de ces E.T.I. !
It seems to me that a lot of people are using this song as a weapon to bash other people about what ever, it is what it is, a light harted jape at hippies/ hendrix cultist and a chance for devo to do something weird. hell im pissed off with people treating hendrix as a god.
Devo gave their own mutated twist to are you experienced..i like it. screw the Hendrix estate they are in it for the money, Janie and Leon Hendrix are too screwed up to do things right anyway. this song and video in no way disrespects Jimi.
It kind of looks like Devo is more parodying the times, and how the pacifist, naturalist movements of the 60's were totally lost on the 80's.
I also think it's alot light hearted than you people make it out to be, I think it's just something they thought would be funny, not because they hated Hendrix or had some kind of agenda against the hippy movements.
Everything about DEVO can be taken tongue in cheek, but I think they did have strong convictions on issues. DEVO formed at Kent State just in the aftermath of the National Guard shootings, and Casale has said the day those students died was the day he stopped being a hippy. He also said he started making music then because the alternative was going on the street and shooting cops. Pretty heavy stuff!
Some think this is an homage to Hendrix, but I doubt it. The cover--and especially the video--is a knock on hippy culture. Seems silly now, but back in the 80s the hippy days weren't that far removed. And remember that DEVO actually had been a band since the early 70s. DEVO clearly don't like hippies, or anything they stand for.
Devo snuck a second Jimi song into this. When Jimi comes back he does 3rd Stone from the Sun. I love Jimi Hendrix and this song has it's own perverse take that I like in a different way. The videos help the songs make so much more sense.
first time i've seen tht, one of the best devo videos. mighty boosh blatantly were inspired by tht in creating rudy. crying shame its not on the devo dvd.
Alright it's like this....this video is a anti drug statement. Hendrix died of a overdose. I guess his estate didn't like the connection. Coming out of a casket doesn't help either....DEVO has made other anti drug statements in other tracks like Good thing. Remember? It's going good till, you get stoned. Yet alot of DEVO early tracks seem to be drug inspired...like Mechanical man. Just say no.
Once they lost that primative sound (after the 3rd album) they became just another faceless new wave band. This is awful.. They were so smart and they chose to become cartoon characters. So sad..
Devo Was 80's they presonifed What they consider todays punk they expermented with sounds you never hear anymore its 80's at its best in my opion, Devo never kills itself just reinvents itself.
My memory could be wrong, but as I recall, DEVO was sick of getting shafted by WB at this point. They knew (maybe were even warned) that the ONE THING they weren't allowed to screw with was sacred JIMI. So they made a crappy album, and centered it around the most offensive Hendrix cover/video they could come up with. WB's response was to say, "we're bigger than you. You're fired. And noone will ever see the video again, at least after we make sure we won't make any money from it first..."
oh by the way i love the two jimmys music. so dont take my comment the wrong way. this version of experienced, was a real trip when it first came out on mtv.
This was always my favorite Devo video. I wonder if it was the image of Jimmie coming out of the groovy R.I.P. coffin that offended the Hendrix estate and caused them to not release it. Too bad. Thanks for uploading it Gadgetman2000!

My memory could be wrong, but as I recall, DEVO was sick of getting shafted by WB at this point. They knew (maybe were even warned) that the ONE THING they weren't allowed to screw with was sacred JIMI. So they made a crappy album, and centered it around the most offensive Hendrix cover/video they could come up with. WB's response was to say, "we're bigger than you. You're fired. And noone will ever see the video again, at least after we make sure we won't make any money from it first..."

jimi was a loser anyway. the same thing with morrison. they didnt live long enough to see the payout. this song is about being clocked down by death.

This was always my favorite Devo video. I wonder if it was the image of Jimmie coming out of the groovy R.I.P. coffin that offended the Hendrix estate and caused them to not release it. Too bad. Thanks for uploading it Gadgetman2000!

I didn't know Mr. Hendricks had a version of this song. The only one I can remember is Are You Experienced, by Jimi Hendrix. Which is a great song.
C'mon keep giving me those low comment ratings and keep believing that this is music.
