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!
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!
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.
awwwwww hell... the kang has been hitting this spot in Macon every Halloween, and they love it - even gave it propers on that thar web page. Get the pinecone liquor ready!!! "Fights begin, finger prints er' took, days are lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
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!
Outstanding! Someone please post the 4th of July 09' PBR thrown-down @ the Southgate House in Newport ,KY. I was there but no camera! great show. Party liquor king!
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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'.
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.
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,,,
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.
