The Cure - Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix Tribute

Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix is a 1993 album recorded by various artists in tribute to Jimi Hendrix. The artists were drawn from many genres of popular music. Contributors include his classic rock contemporaries Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck, blues man Buddy Guy, classical violinist Nigel Kennedy, alternative pop/rock bands Belly and Spin Doctors, hip hop artists P. M. Dawn, among others. According to the liner notes, the "artists were encouraged to not only record one of their own personal favorites but to also place their stamp on Jimi's songs." Several artists recorded radically different interpretations, particularly, P. M. Dawn, The Cure, Nigel Kennedy and Pat Metheny. Some artists, on the other hand, recorded versions that were rather similar to the originals.
The band M.A.C.C. is made up of Mike McCready (guitarist from Pearl Jam), Jeff Ament (bassist from Pearl Jam), Matt Cameron (drummer for Soundgarden and later for Pearl Jam), and Chris Cornell (singer of Soundgarden and later Audioslave). The cover of "Hey Baby (Land of the New Rising Sun)" is their only known recording. All four members of this group had previously worked together on the Temple of the Dog project.

"Total Blasphemy! You don't make "Purple Haze" into a fuckin' rap song! You just don't! The mere thought of it makes me want to puke! It's like converting a Rolls Royce into a Volkswagon. Whoever these guys are they should be shot! And the fact that (producer) Eddie Kramer, who I've known for years, didn't ask me to do something on this Hendrix tribute is also blasphemy! I would've loved to play on it." Yngwie Malmsteen haha

I think Jimi would have dug this version, that was brilliant!

[ESavoy777]

Yngwie Malmsteen called this "blasphemy" in 1994. I don't agree with him even though this isn't really my cup of tea.

@amers83 AMEN!

[oHelmslyoRisesAgain]

this is the second time they did a hendrix cover that became a whole lot unlike the original. hear their bizarrely minimalist "foxy lady" on "three imaginary boys"

[archangelum]
