The Spirit of Guitar Heros - Randy Hansen - Voodoo Chile

[digital0707neo]

As any one noticed that Randy does not play with the "anger" that Jimi used to play with. randy seems to enjoy and revel in his craft more than Jimi. I think it might have to do with the fact that Jimi played alot in the midst of his cocaine addiction, and often spoke of his being so easily bored. At the isle of Wright, you can see Jimi tiring at playing his songs. Randy always shows such fun at his concerts.

@digital0707neo I agree. I grew up in the 60's and followed Hendrix's career from the beginning until his sad untimely death. Always loved his playing and was a big fan but he really was better than he allowed himself to be, if that makes any sense. He never lived up to his potential because of his drug problems and lack of focus. IMHO He was his own worse enemy along with surrounding himself with too many human leeches that sucked him dry. Randy Hansen is simply more focused and dedicated.

@digital0707neo The most simple and telling thing of all in comparing Randy Hansen to Jimi Hendrix is that Hansen would never play his guitar out of tune unless it was on purpose while it seemed half the time Jimi was out of tune and didn't even realize it! Sad...

[digital0707neo]

Someone please try and tell me there have been "more skilled" technicians at their craft than Randy.

I´ve seen him live. my opinion is that he is, sry jimmy, better than Jimmy Hendrix.

@schretzaa12112

He is good, but he has not the feeling of Jimmy.

The only one, with a really good adaption of Voodo chile is good old Gil Evans.

But I like this version.

@hermanndadi "He is good, but he has not the feeling of Jimmy."

Only "Jimmy" has the feeling of "Jimmy." But Jimi is long gone. Randy comes as close as humanly possible, in my opinion.

@Veritas699 you're right..."as humanly possible"  +10 !!

[Pagemmanuel]

Just amazing.. He feels it !

[allmankallman]

Great performance and tone! Full on cranked marshall and fuzzface, and the clean tone from 3.26 is just dripping with vintage Hendrix BOG flavour. Anybody know what gear he is using, and what pickups in his strat?

[Wolfsblut55]

Der Wahnsinn … besser als Jimi … aber Randy hatte auch mehr Zeit zu üben … als der vor 40 Jahren verstorbene Hendrix … soooo schade !!!
