In his brief four-year reign as a superstar, Jimi Hendrix expanded the vocabulary of the electric rock guitar more than anyone before or since. Hendrix was a master at coaxing all manner of unforeseen sonics from his instrument, often with innovative amplification experiments that produced astral-quality feedback and roaring distortion. His frequent hurricane blasts of noise, and dazzling showmanship — he could and would play behind his back and with his teeth, and set his guitar on fire — has sometimes obscured his considerable gifts as a songwriter, singer, and master of a gamut of blues, R&B, and rock styles. When Hendrix became an international superstar in 1967, it seemed as if he'd dropped out of a Martian spaceship, but in fact he'd served his apprentice More... (Submit New Jimi Hendrix Lyrics) (Submit New Jimi Hendrix Lyrics) Review about Jimi Hendrix Strings of glass... | Reviewer: Earthlingmind ------ About the song THE WIND CRIES MARY performed by Jimi Hendrix I like your review of The Wind Cries Mary. Do you know, he brought that along to their recording studio and they played it through for the first time and recorded it in just 6 minutes, just as you hear it on the record! And yet it sounds so immaculate. I think it was released as his 2nd hit single, and it seemed to me that people regarded it as something slightly wild, compared to what the pop charts were like at that time. And yet it always sounded to me like something so perfectly controlled, and with the guitar sounding just like a bell-like glass! Yes, he did create most, if not all, his lyrics from dreams. I guess this one's a memorial tribute to someone, though I know not whom. Or it could be mourning the loss of the kind of religion that we should have had for the millenium that's just gone. But I think it's for a person: it seems to me that he didn't used to play this one in his live gigs. The Poetry of The Wind Cries Mary. | Reviewer: Gabriela Alexander ------ About the song THE WIND CRIES MARY performed by Jimi Hendrix I have often listened to this particular Hendrix number, as I was drawn in by the gentle rhythm of the lead guitar and the clever arrangement, so far removed from many of the more raucous and discordant rock anthems can be heard. I have always found this piece of music almost mesmerizing and calming, maybe enough to produce alpha waves. Then recently I started trying to listen to the lyrics because they sounded really interesting but some of them were a bit indistinct, even though Jimi Hendrix articulated well due to his laid back talk singing style, and I decided to write them down. Here was some poetry, I'm not sure whether the words were induced partly by thought altering substances, but every line is interesting and reads as though it has come out of a dream. Maybe there is a story behind these lyrics, I will check and see. I love this song musically and lyrically. As a poet and song writer I would have been more than happy to have penned this musical poem. I know Hendrix was a big fan of Bob Dylan, and he is up there with Dylan with this one or maybe streets ahead. Love you Jimi. great obscure Jimi | Reviewer: Brian Newsham ------ About the song MY FRIEND performed by Jimi Hendrix I never get tired of listening to this great gem in Jimi's collection. One of my favorite songs of all time from any artist. You know when you talk to most people they have no idea how great Jimi is or why he is regarded as one if not the best at what he did. The reason is because mainstream classic rock stations literally play his worst songs regularly. I could do without ever hearing Fire or Foxy Lady ever again. there are so many great ones to choose from, why just a select few that don't really give you the true picture of his greatness. Such a great song. | Reviewer: Angela ------ About the song LITTLE WING performed by Jimi Hendrix This is hands down THE song I will dance to at my wedding with my Father. For one because it just purely rocks... and for two, there is no better symbolism of letting your little girl go than what is in this song. Girls are always Daddies little girls. (At least this one is for sure!) No reviews?!?? | Reviewer: ~ ------ About the song LITTLE WING performed by Jimi Hendrix One of the best songs ever and no comments?!.. Damn.. I love this song; 'tis the song every guitarist knows how to play!!.. For me it's about those smiley little girls who really do only ever think about butterflies and fairytales, and if they ever find you sad they will just say "it's alright, it's alright", because it all simply seems that way.

An example of this is hey baby intro , fi you can have an orchestra play that intro it would be enormous and huge.check it out The True Story of Guitar Legend, Jimi Hendrix | Reviewer: Giles ------ About artist/band Jimi Hendrix Jimi Hendrix was an intergalatic legend. Born in the far away galaxy of Zeltron 5 in the year of our Lord 389AD. As a young boy he enjoyed life in the warm swamps and lagoons of his home planet. His stay was shortstayed however, as in a laboratory experiment gone horribly wrong his father accidently teleported him through a wormhole 42 light years into the future. He ended up on a strange planet called Earth in the year of 1943. Jimi was 11 nanomonths old when he arrived. In his childhood he became a master of the Broomstick, playing it with precision and finesse, mimicking his heroes. Time went on and Jimi became a Guitar Legend, inspiring mice and men for 4 years until his untimely demise. His home planet considered destroying Earth for the death of one of their kind, but since the Zeltronions look and behave like humans in so many ways, (some doctors and scholars in fact believe the Zeltronions are humans from the future who have relocated with vast technology and a knack for time travel), that several of their kind entered the Earth and conducted an investigation. They deemed it an accidental death and left without a major incident.

Planet Zog: Here I Come... | Reviewer: Wehttam ------ About the song ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER performed by Jimi Hendrix "I was first drawn to Hendrix's sound when I was 16, when I heard his version of Bob Dylan’s All Along The Watchtower. The attraction of the music was astronomical, and it still is with today’s youths. When I listen to his music I feel like I’m being picked up and put on the Planet Zog. When I close my eyes I see bright coloured shapes and I can almost feel the impact of his music upon the 1960s British public. I can feel the drugs the musicians were taking at the time and I can feel the thoughts going through their heads."
