>user, he's the greatest ever
Finally get around to listening to something by him
>Guitar sounds like absolute shit
>Sounds like a squier bullet strat through a Marshall MG30
>Sounds like it was recorded on a laptop mic
Hendrix starts singing
>remove from playlist
Epic win user!! Fuck DadRock~
Hendrix BTFO
guess it's over for him
Imagine being this retarded
Of course I like Hendrix of course
Damn how will Hendrix ever recover
racist piece of shit OP
Play attention to the guitar playing of every canon rock record up to Are you experienced and then listen to Hendrix. If by then you don't think that he was a genius, you have autism.
How's your first day of guitar lessons going, buddy? Mommy can pack sandwiches if you want.
How did they manage to make the recording sound so bad? I can name many better guitar players whomst recordings don't sound like shit
Maybe you just don't like his playing when he uses distortion. I'd recommend listening to Little Wing, it sounds very clear because it's a soft ballad played clean on the middle or bridge pickup. And I'll admit that some of his recordings are mixed very poorly. However, he was fucking brilliant at using distortion and feedback to convey that feeling of sheer anger and chaos like what's found on Voodo Child (Slight Return), Machine Gun, Star-Spangled Banner, etc.

fuck off gen z shitter

What's his best song Sup Forums?
The sheer beauty of May This Be Love has driven me to tears on a few separate occasions.
Bold As Love
You can legitimately disregard every single Hendrix studio cut and just listen to him live. Even though his studio stuff is very good, live Hendrix is the only thing that's really needed to show why he was/is considered a god among children
villanova junction blues
straight ahead
This. The 2nd part of that song is beautiful.
I think Hear My Train is the song that consistently produced the best performances from him live. If you mean studio stuff, I don't really know
he has bar none the worst sounding studio recordings of the 60s
>tape hiss in every song
>tinny drums and muffled bass
>awful panning
>no choice of mono recordings to circumvent this
i can only listen to his live stuff because of this
>muffled bass
Objectively wrong, the bass cuts through the mix incredibly well.

this literally isn't hendrix this is some shitty cover band
I just took the first result off of YouTube but I forgot that album isn't on YouTube for whatever reason. Here's a better example, anyways, the bass is very prominent and easily heard.
Do you people exclusively listen to music on YouTube? Remasters exist, and no, listening to remastered versions of albums on YouTube won't make a difference because of numerous compression algorithms.
>no choice of mono
The recent Axis mono 200g vinyl reissue sounds great. For mono AYE, just download the 2013 Prof. Stoned rip of the uk version + mono singles.
I agree, the beatles were around the same time and they had far better production.
Electric Ladyland is 10/10 and Are You Experienced is a solid 9.5/10.
He's more than justified his fame.
What's his best live album, fellas?
Band of Gypsys, obviously

Hendrix could be very, very poor live. That's something a lot of people don't really like to talk about, because most of the popular live recordings were him at his absolute top form. There are many documented live shows where Hendrix apologizes to the crowd because he "couldn't get it together", he was too fucked to play. When he was on, though, there was no one better. Genius in studio, as well.
>Buddy Miles constantly scat singing in an attempt to compete with Jimi's playing
I HATED THAT SHIT
At least he can actually play bass on a level that he's not holding Hendrix back like the Experience scrub.
The Winterland Box Set
Buddy Miles was the drummer
Billy Cox was the bassist you're talking about.
Noel Redding was good, though. The bass line in the second half of Bold as Love is GOAT.
Oh come on his singing gives the album character (and it just elevates Who Knows so much)
believe this man
My mistake but it's true of the drummer as well.
It's a shame that Hendrix never really played with a jazzy funky fusion type band like Funkadelic that was actually on his level. The Experience guys are mediocre by rock band standards and BAD by 60's rock band standards.
Completely disagree. Mitch Mitchell is one of the greatest rock drummers of all time and his light jazzy touch was a perfect compliment to Hendrix's playing. Mitchell was also incredibly versatile, just look at the later years when he's partnering with Cox and Hendrix. He's able to adapt to the more heavy, funky style.
Personally, I really like Noel Redding and often feel he is thrown under the bus. He had nice, light springy bass lines that paired nicely with Hendrix's exuberant, fiery guitar.
He's a good singer and does well in sticking in line but he is very obnoxious on BoG with his backing vocals when goes over the top, like in Machine Gun.
Agree to disagree I guess.
>often feel he is thrown under the bus.
This probably has more to do with the fact that he was kind of an ass. Also, Hendrix recorded some of the better bass parts on Electric Ladyland, not sure if he wrote them, though.
All the bass parts Redding did were fantastic, so were the parts Hendrix did.
at last, Reddit did something fantastic
I get that you're auditing to be a Rolling Stone writer or something with your wanking off classic rock guys while managing to say nothing of substance but they just weren't great musicians.
Mitchell did some jazz stuff on the cymbals but that's about where it ended. He really didn't have jazz or rock chops. I don't even know what you think is good about Redding's playing. It's standard 60 's rock bass. It's not horrendous but he's giving Hendrix nothing but a boring foundation to shred and layer over when Hendrix after the first album was ready for someone to challenge him.
This is Eddie Hazel who borrowed a lot from Hendrix and played with a rhythm section that could actually keep up with him:
op is a blazing star faggot
PURPLE HAZE ALL IN MY BRAIN
SCUSE ME WHILE I KISS THIS GUY
Wow man. Good for you
