What are you listening to?

I can understand that @Tank, Hendrix was an innovator and produced a very dirty sound, Star Spangled Banner being an excellent example. He made his guitar wail like a banshee, where others make theirs sing like a choir. He redefined the genre, and in doing so he utilised all of the sounds the instrument made not just the notes he played. A genius, no doubt, but also an acquired taste to some degree.

Bought my first Hendrix album in 1968

Electric Ladyland

Pali Gap was a guitar solo and one of his best showing his diversity

Was a big fan of him growing up

All along the Watchtower is one that they played on the radio so most are familiar with it

He could make the guitar do things that others had never done pushing the limits

I've watched a couple of documentaries of his career and learned a lot

Growing in the 60's and 70's we didn't have the internet so getting information on bands was very difficult

[WicketMaiden]

Different genre, but another favourite with outstanding talent.

Been listening to this band quite a bit lately. Music no one here would like but Jason.

This slaps. It should come with a warning label though, lol.

The song that the overrated Imagine by Lennon should have been.  I said what I said.  RIPGM.

What a horrible song.

I already posted this once, but it's good enough to pull a Craig

[Redondo]

BTW that's Eric Clapton, Robert Cray and Jimmy Vaughn (Stevie Ray's brother) on the guitar solos

Not sure why, but I find myself listening to this today, not for any other reason than it’s an awesome show and I wish I could have seen them live one more time.

Really is.  For some reason, just thought about listening to it after hearing “Wake Up” by Mad Season earlier.  
 

Layne Staley had such a great voice.  Fucking drugs.

[Jay]

yeah but the drugs are what made those bands great in the first place.

This has always been a theory of mine. Early 70's was great music fueled by heroin addicts then comes the late 70's early 80's cokeheads and you get disco and other assorted garbage then the heroin comes back and the late 80's on through the 90's was good again

That really reminded me of this thoroughly unexpected performance.

Also, LSD played a big part of the late 1960's and early 1970's sound, and the whole house/trance movement of the 1990's wouldn't have happened without speed and ecstasy. I always liked Bill Hicks little routine about it, here's a snippet:

bill hicks was a terrific stand up comedian.

The end of this one is emotionally brutal.  About time it hit streaming and vinyl.

"WE BELONG TOGETHER!"

You guys got me going down a youtube rabbit hole of great 90's live performances.

This one stuck out... this is what peak performance looks like. lol

My favorite band for a long time.  You and I have talked about this before and I know Tool isn’t for everyone (my wife especially) but if you really got into some of Maynard Keenan’s lyrics, they are pretty amazing.  
 

Though my wife will listen to A Perfect Circle, or as my son and I call it, “Tool light.”

RIP MH.

Total change of pace here. No matter your musical preferences, this is simply beautiful. 

 

[Revad]

I be old.

A little bit of 80's retro. Brilliant bass line and one of my all time favourite videos. No idea if these guys were big in the US so this may be new to some/most of you.
