[seatere]

You do know that it is "hate street's hanging tree" and not "haight" right?

[Xoxoqq]

@seatere Nope, it's Haight Street. It's a street in San Francisco

[seatere]

@Xoxoqq :-) Thank you very much for clearing that up. I am about to do some research on that street, and at the same time preparing to listen to this song from a whole new angle. :-) Cheers

[Sanghoma]

@Xoxoqq NO ... IT DEFINITELY IS HATE STREET NOT HAIGHT STREET, HE'S NOT REFERRING TO SAN FRAN AND WHEN YOU READ THE LYRICS ON THE ALLBUM COVER ... IT SAYS HATE STREET, FURTHERMORE HATE STREET MAKES SENSE AND IS IN LINE WITH THE REST OF THE SONG, HAIGHT STREET DOES NOT.

I absolutely love Sixto Rodriguez.

[omarism666]

The inner city birth me, the local pusher nursed me..

[ireland154]

such a great song and very catchy(: Sixto Rodriguez should have been more known. his music was very catchy and very artistic

[eurorocker79]

Killer LP!

[JAMESSULLIVANSB]

2 people obviously dont have a taste in music. What a album just unknown great music

[EASkate14]

i really want to learn the solo to this on guitar! is there a live video of this? i cant find tabs or a video anywhere...

[mmtot]

@EASkate14 Use your ears.

[illnixon]

I hate when peeps say "Rodriguez?...never heard of him" gets me wild lol

[SteveTinkertaylor]

quality music

[maximoslowpez]

Definetly underated and unkown, such good music, ups to rodriguez.

[Didgebaba]

this was my milk and honey in the late 80s. Could pick up his records for a dollar in second hand shops in provincial Australia. Best music money could buy.

[666cfc]

@Didgebaba I thought he only released two records?

[Didgebaba]

@666cfc There are other records but they are just live and compilations. I also had "At His Best" (Australia – 1977)

[666cfc]

@Didgebaba Is there anything worth looking up or is it just the material from his official records?

[Didgebaba]

@666cfc At His Best (Australia 1977, Blue Goose, Re-released in 2005) features unreleased recordings from 1976: "Can't Get Away", "I'll Slip Away" (a re-recording of his first single), and "Street Boy". These are three beautiful songs, so yea, maybe it is worth it.

[666cfc]

@Didgebaba Thanks for the tip. Cheers

[cupcakesgn]

i get to see him play and meet him on jan 29th.... i love living in detroit

[jazzyow]

[jahirobeni]

[mrsbungle100]

[tomka13300]

Bob dylan meet the 13th floor elevator ! Sound great :)

[Jordanspiegel]

Its Haight st not Hate st its a famous street in San Fran

[Sanghoma]

@Jordanspiegel BOLLOCKS! HAVE YOU READ THE LYRICS?

[Sanghoma]

@Jordanspiegel WHY ISN'T IT SPELT THAT WAY ON THE ALBUM THEN?.... ALSO HAVE YOU READ THE LYRICS? IF THERE IS ANY REFERENCE TO HAIGHT STREET SAN FRAN.... THEN IT IS DEFINITELY A DOUBLE MEANING

[toddy111ful]

@Sanghoma in the book fear and loathing in las vegas it mentions haight st

[666cfc]

@toddy111ful Yeah. but it's got nothing to do w/ this song!

New Album coming out soon? same topics still around eh? War, Drugs, broken society not enough love and care for each other...how about an environmental album?

[BBcrank92]

one of my homies showed me this song a week ago on his mp3 player... I thought the whole time i knew this song... and then i realized that it sounds like bob dylan :O

...how i didnt realize such a good artist before???

[DelbyC]

Wow i just "discovered" sixto i feel so stupid for not knowing about him before, but im only 20 can you really blame me lol anyways i will definitely do my part in making sure people know more about him, what a hidden gem :D

[kalonjikalonji]

@DelbyC same same!!

[OwenNein]

I don't blame you... I blame your parents. 21 here and grew up with him, and for that I'm ever grateful.

[funnyjunkcom]

one of the best and sadly unknown albums of all time

[gbh903]

Yes! I count myself lucky to have heard this album when it was new in Australia in the 70's....thankfully it is becoming known to more people now...better late then never.

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

@funnyjunkcom so true

[LoRdJuN100]

VERY3x Best!

[AdamHolmesMusic]

The best...

[hypothese]

what the fuck are the chords for this song? i searched the internet and, when i couldn´t find them, tried to find them by myself, but everything sounds wrong!!! simply frustrating.... . anybody knows the chords? i love this song and would like to accompany myself on the guitar.

thx

[mrheggart]

First off iff ya play along to this it's out of tune to a tuner so you have to allow for that. So probably best to play in D but not play along to the recording unless you want to tune your guitar into the recording...so basically it cycles on the following chords

Dm F G A# A

[hypothese]

thx alot, figured it out by myself when i thought about it... in my opinion, it sounds weird when i use the same chords in another tuning so i play it one step up, gives it another feeling

[supermiembro]

@hypothese

Put a capo on the first fret then strum a Dminor shape, then a F Major barre then shift it up to the 4th fret, then 7th fret and quickly to 6th fret.

[nickersinatwist]

this song has been in my head for so long i love it

[RikvGeel]

The guitar sample is also used by Dutch rapper Dio, with the song Tijd Is Geweest ;)

[civilwheels]

Pig and Hose = heroine and torniquet,,, pete

[Farrellaka4real]

Hmmm. I think he's saying "Pagan Hoes" :)

[MsKelliemaree]

this is one of the top 10 albums of all time part of my child hood part of my adult hood

[1Didirock]
