I would bet Hendrix would never have wanted that stuff released. Most of this new release material was probably scraped off the studio cutting room floor and cobbled together just to make $ for some greedy producer and decedents of Hendrix.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

Chuck's old.
Next week he's going to be yelling at kids to get off his lawn.

Jimmy was a master....no doubt about it. But like a lot of other musicians, I can take only so much of 'em. The imprint of Hendrix playing the National Anthem can never be erased in my head.......incredible!

some of the songs on this album have already been released... Izabella and Crash Landing are 2...
Crash Landing is on the album Crash Landing, which was realeased in 75 i believe, but the music was recorded in 68-71 or something, just like this album... Crash Landing is sitting in front of my face...
The biggest difference between Jimi and Ted is Jimi enlisted in the Army and got a honorable discharge. Ted went to his draft physical and discharged a big load of crap in his pants. The other big difference is Hendrix is a rock and roll legend, Ted's just a burned out mediocre guitar player with a load of sh1t in his pants.

Anyone who can't appreciate Hendrix, at least as a guitar pioneer, probably doesn't listen to anything but the singing when they listen to music, or otherwise has likely never tried to play a guitar. People are still trying to achieve some of the sounds he created, to little avail.
Someone mentioned SRV as being great (I absolutely agree that he was great), but it's well-known that Hendrix was among SRV's primary influences (very similar guitar tones on a lot of stuff, and not just because they both played Stratocasters.) SRV's version of Voodoo Chile was all kinds of bad ass, to be sure. How you could like one but not the other mystifies me. Just goes to show that we all have different tastes, I suppose.
I'll be interested to hear the new Jimi stuff, but I agree with the sentiment that it was probably never intended to be released, and it's likely been changed a lot from whatever original tracks were recorded. Still... Should be well worth a listen.

I guess being a draft-dodging pedophile is better than being dead.
Bareley, though.

Agreed, but making him into a celebrity is the baffling part, he's a fuking draft dodger scumbag who sh1t his pants to get out of military service. Time doesn't remove that stigma, you only get one chance to be a hero, and Ted chose to crap out.

No argument here.
