being the old fart that I am, I do listen to dino rock more than anything else.

nearly 40 *cough* years ago
Hendrix Live at Monterey

That being said, I do like a lot of new stuff, too.

10 bonus points for anyone < 35 yo that can tell us what's wrong with the Hendrix clip.

Focus.
Gentle Giant.
Alan Parsons.
Todd Rundgren.
Steely Dan/Donald Fagen.
Art In America
H. P. Lovecraft
Joe Byrd

but it's not like there's *nothing* to listen to now:

Spock's Beard (before the breakup)
Imogen Heap: Hide & Seek
early Afro Celt Sound System
Origa (themes for Ghost in the Shell:Stand Alone Complex)

Well he sometimes plays a lefty guitar right-handed, but he plays every which way so I dunno bout that... He did play righty guitars left handed a lot, so I guess that's not it... hmmm... Gimme some time to think on this one, and I'll tell ya.

I know! I know! He's singing AND chewing gum! My mom said never to do that. Just goes to show you what an incredible talent Hendrix really was! And I'm not kidding!















LOL!!!! :D

Ew, that did annoy me. I hate it when people sing and chew gum.

That's it, you got it!:)

as did one of his mentors:

Albert King:cool:

Been listening to my London Calling CD all day... does that count?

Silly me, Barefoot,

I thought that was a given. Though possibly not to those younger than we.

well, you were warm... and then there was that thing he did with his tongue... at least when he wasn't using it on the strings. :blush:

i have been a devotee of La Hendrix since I was 16 (many, many moons and four-way window panes ago) Way, Waaaaay back, when he was v. obscure(at least as far as the '80's go) and I KNEW then, as a white, suburban Catholic High School girl that he, Hendrix, was our own sweet salvation. The mastery of the drive-you-wild-clit-tongue technique was merely a Bonus.

for new guitar bands, check out the Zutons, Franz Ferdinnand, Kaiser Chiefs, Snow Patrol, Belle & Sebastion..... there has been a real resurgence of guittar based pop/rock bands here in the UK over the last few years.

Only time will tell who will make it to the 'rock legends' status......

oh, and saw Focus mentioned earlier - they still touring, saw them live in Crewe not 6 months ago.... still as good as ever.

Man, the righty/lefty guitar was it? Everyone who knows jack shit about guitar should know that, maaaang...

And he strung it backwards, I've heard. :D

As I said, he'd play 'em every which way. Righty, lefty, back-strung, he played the works.

In my experience, which is (or may not be) considerable, I've never seen Hendrix play anything but lefty, and always w/ a righty guitar re-strung so the fat string is on top. I've been known to be wrong, once! :D
