  • Man..... is that 2 Vox AC30's he's playing through?! Of course, that kind of incredible playing deserves to be played through amps like that.

  • @deathrib One AC30 and a 2x12 cab, he runs it clean and uses a Vox tonelab for effects etc.

  • this is gooder'n hail!

  • WOW my bro just turned me on to hinson amazing flow and sound my new fave

  • Yeah... First time I saw him was in Savannah in 06, 07? Something like that.. The guy is freakin' incredible!!

  • fuck man, i need to get up to macon if he's there every year on halloween. will he not take savannah ever?

  • Unknown Hinson is the only person to play Jimi Hendrix songs as good as Jimi... which is disturbinger than Hell, 'cause that boy is whiter than the sun!

  • this is very nice live version of this song.

  • @pokerace420 Agreed. Great flow to it.

  • unknow is an absoulte fantastic guitarist and hopefully if everything goes to plan ill be goin down to maryville oct. 29th from ny

  • Yeah, he don't "SOUND" the same without his SIDEBURNS!

  • My guitar teacher tipped me off to Unknown. I have been a fan for years without knowing it though, I love the Squidbillies.

  • check out this bull mess boy woo

  • damn he's good.

  • @SupportlivemusicNC his tone is sweet!

  • awww ya didn't git tha whole thang!!! HINSON RULEz!!!

    

  • I'd love to see him live.

  • @fryloc359 You MUST see him live, or die unfulfilled.

  • @xxdrzombiexx Amen! 

  • @12ozElephant why would you get flammed for speakin the gospel youngin , SRV is a chump with nothing onthe kang , remember that littlin !

  • I might get flamed hard for this!! But I think Unknown Hinson's cover is way better than Stevie Ray Vaunghan's. 

  • @12ozElephant

    You can't compare the two. Stevie's is an eight-minute instrumental - Stevie took the essence of "Little Wing", stretched it out, and reinterpreted it. Hinson rebuilt Little Wing from the ground up, and the cover is AMAZING! I couldn't tell you my favorite. They're two different animals.

    And though I do love Hinson dearly, Stevie was a better player. Terrible singer, mind you. Better guitarist, technically speaking. Hinson's no pussyfoot, either, tho'! Hats off to the kang!

  • drumwhord, you suck. listen to live and undead and say that again. you queerbait.

  • Saw The King last night here in Greenville. All that chart toppin' talent! Sheeeeeeeut! Man he is da man.

  • Coming to Macon tomorrow night to catch Unknown at the Hummingbird. Can't hardly wait, had to break out the party liquor early to make time go faster.

  • @sharkybb pinecone liquor ? really ? I like try ! where can I score some ?

  • @vylkyl Just boil you up some *young* pinecones and sugar and run that mash through a still.

  • This guy is awesome! I have got to see this act live someday!

  • "Little Wang"...that's SO funny on SOOO many levels.

  • 4 out of 5 dentists agree.. and as for that 5th one...ole' Unknown will cause him a little death by lead poisnun. This guy has got chops from hell and I ainta talkin about those chart toppin ones hes missin on his face. Massive guitar picker!

  • This kicked my monkey ass so savagely that I have to go to bed without dinner for a

    munf.

    From a Yankee that would never get to see the inside of a Southern bar, thanky fer

    puttin' thisern up hur. Hinson's voicings for the intro were definitely getting the nod

    from Mr Jimi. He would've liked those sweet embellishments. I bet those Gaffer's tape sideburns get a little cloying after a spell. They are part of the damn look though!

  • thats beautiful

    

  • Wait... Is that George Lowe on drums?!?!

  • Great Version! ~

  • Right up there with Jimi and Stevie Ray.....I love Hinson's style

  • He don't look right without his chart toppin' sideburns on.

  • @towlebucket what song is it when he says that?! i could never fing it!

  • unknown is the best ive seen and ive seen alot good luck to him and his talent

  • What's so nice about his Hendrix covers is that he does something with them. He does try and play what was played forty years ago.

  • The Kang!!! Jimi and Stevie would be proud!!!

  • Yep, they would!

  • OMG! that is fucking great!!!!!!!!!!!! love this little wing

  • Comment removed

  • Shit,this guy can jam! Like to see this whole tune. Don't hear it like that anymore.

  • Rock ON!

  • he is the kang

  • listen to him, all I got to say, so many professional musicians agree. proof is the pudding

  • no sideburns in this one.

  • its so weird to see him without sideburns

  • The Kang!!!!!!!!

  • Saw Unknown at local pub near Univ. of Ala. few years ago. When I first saw the flyers for the show I thought, "This guy has to have a gimmick, so he must suck" . Man, was I wrong!!! A friend talked me into going and I'll never regret it. He had a great stage show and and sense of humor (my sides and jaw ached for hours afterwards from laughing so hard!) But most of all I was blown away by the talent and ability I saw. Had a great time and got his video too.

  • I think the gimmick side of hat he does is great, but sadly, awesome playing ability doesn't mean much to people today, who would rather listen to some computer generated hip hop mess.

  • Unfortunately, you're right about that. It's frustrating when the most talented are the least appreciated.

  • Holy Jeebus!

  • Roke!!!

  • this blew me away... didn't know Early Culyer could rock an axe like that... amazing.

  • Unknown all the way. he's badass

  • HOLY CRAP! AMAZING!

  • I have seen UH 5 times now. His live performances are so impressive and over the top. Truly the best live performer I have ever seen, and definitely the best guitarist I have ever seen. The KANG RULES!!!

  • I have a feeling Hinson is a fan of SRV too.

  • boo need the chops and that creppy puppet

  • fucking awesome, Jimi and SRV would be proud!

  • In my opinion, anyone that disses this guy needs to re-evaluate their outlook on music. Unknown obviously has passion for music. Not to mention the fact that he is incredible at playing guitar. If compared to Hendrix's live performances, I would say this is just as good, if not better. He did an incredible job. He is a great performer. And he just likes to have fun. So stop saying he sucks. If you don't like him, then don't listen to him.

  • Thats the thing with Unknown, for a guy who loves to kid around and give off that silly image his music and playing are awesome. Wish I had that kinda skill.

  • That's his thang. Actually a means to make it music and have fun.

  • We play with the cards life deals us.

  • dude, you clearly don't get it.

    moron.

  • so THATS what he looks like without his chops lol

  • You might be the biggest moron I have ever met guy. Butchering the greats? That was Clapton with his dominoes. This guy? He actually did Jimi and Little Wing justice.

    Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

  • Killer guitarist,if u ever get the chance to see him,you wont be sorry,seen him twice at the Earl in Atlanta,Ga

  • kidding aside, who is the drummer?

  • and george costanza on the drums ladies and gentlemen lol

    just sayin it looks like him!

  • Holy Crap! Yer right!

    Einstein must've been on vacation.

  • Where are his sideburns???????

  • that was the first thing i thought too

  • Bad ass. I can't wait to see him in Charlotte in July.

    My favorite Hendrix song of all time. Very nice job.

  • the Elder squid whales ,and there aint nuthin you can do about it babay....!

  • The drummer... its Kevin Malone from the Office! haha, looks like him and his persona in the show plays drums

  • a combination of schtick,and genius,a perfect blend of the two...

  • I agree...I love that combo. People laugh and don't take you seriously...even your fans. Then they come to the show and get blown away. I know I was expecting his live show to be kinda like this public access stuff, and was stunned by his wailin'.

  • As he'd probably say. That's some mighty fine-a pickin' and a sangin'

  • Don't feel bad for Hinson because he isn't taken seriously. He is doing what he loves and making a damn good living at it. Just like Brendan Small!!!

  • The King playing Derby Week 4-30-2009

  • I think a lot of top 40 music is a joke.

  • Yeah, I think 40 of them are.

  • you know... i love the hinson, but it's kind of a shame that such a spectacular musician is seen as a joke by so many people....this guy is severely talented and should not be taken lightly at all.

  • i agree. i didn't know how bad ass he was untill a few years back. he could play with anybody.

  • Hell I dont see him like a joke, its a gimmick, damn near everybody who gets it,, gets it!!! The songs may be funny to a degree, but a lot them actually make sense,,,

  • Damn right he PWNS. 

    Nothin' like a shreddin' man.

    *creaaaam*

  • i'm scared of him, and i'm not sure why.

    awesome stuff though!

  • little wang..lol ha ha ha, leave it to unknown. he cracks me up.

  • Unknown Hinson Video Recorded at the V Club in Huntington West Virginia. January 30th 2009 visit my channel

  • Unknown Hinson is the embodiment of awesome.

  • This is the first time hearing this guy not bad I like his version of this song.
