I love everything he does, but I vacilitate between favorites. Right now Imbin love with hush now, but I think the one truly closest to my heart is castles made of sand.

Two very good cover versions of that song, are done by Roy Buchanan and dead moon. By the way if you haven't heard of dead moon, they are the greatest punk band ever. No joke.

Acoustic version of "Hear my Train acomin'"
and the live version of "Wild Thing", especially the first part of the song with him talking to the audience, you can just tell how hard hes tripping by the way hes talking lol.
Anything off the band of gypsies album like "who knows"
Anything off the Blues album
Anything off of any of the albums lol.
My fucking hero.

The band of gypsies played great solid funk. Just the right amount of blues rock and funk.
I read recently that billy cox had his drink spiked with a bunch of acid, and freaked out not leaving his room of eating anything for two weeks.
Yea in some concert footage of his you can just tell he's frying his face off. He definitely waved his freak flag high.

I see this site as a continuation of those ideals and of that time when for the first time in history people as a whole questioned everything they were taught, and then went seeking for the answers, in the process throwing of the system that oppressed them.
"for we're all bold as love,
Just ask the axis"

Pali gap is bad ass too. Laughing sams dice, The Star Spangled Banner ( Brings tears to my eyes every time) Just so much emotion and grooviness in the banner. Ain't a single song I've ever heard from Jimi that I don't like.
I went to a Experience Hendrix tribute show a couple years ago. Met Billy Cox, actually got to rap with him for several minutes. The show was spectacular and Kenny Wayne Sheppard tore the house down. Also got a autographed Billy Cox " Last Gypsy Standing" CD, and a old photo of Jimi, Billy, and Mitch on stage. Autographed by Billy. Also got my original BOG album autographed.
If you ever get a chance to see "Experience Hendrix" It's well worth the price. Probably 15-20 performers, who all freaking rocked.

I've heard people express the opinion that Hendrix wasn't as good later in his career, going down the toilet so to speak, I'm always like have you even listened to band of gypsys? There like yea it's generic funk, and rehashing of chords he used before. I give up on talking to these people after this.
Hendrix forever.
