Right before every East Carolina Pirates football game they would play purple haze (pirate's color is purple) and hearing that intro in a huge crowd is one of my core memories and it still sends chills down my spine to hear the intro.
My friends in high school were the barefoot hackie sack playing dead heads crowd, lol. My friend Casey always played Hendrix in his car. This song is my face of his.
Voodoo Child Slight Return and it's not even close. Unless it's The Wind Cries Mary. That's pretty close. And All Along the Watchtower. Also close. And Little Wing is also amazing. They are all very good.
I never got into Jimi Hendrix. Don’t know why but I haven’t heard anything I like. Don’t shout at me for being uncool. I mean he was something else playing the guitar. Ain’t fussed on Beethoven either.
I loved how it became central to Battlestar Galactica as the song that some of the crew were hearing stray notes of emanating from every nook and cranny (from time to time). It all finally coalesces here. It's a long but cool story as to why they hear this song from a planet that exists only as myth
So I've played with my teeth, tongue, and with a pick jammed in my mouth, and I'm amazed by the dedication of people who do that shit regularly.
Felt like my fillings were going to explode
When I first heard it, there was so much joy that I could not contain myself. Hearing his voice, I could see his smile & that guitar--his guitar--well, I downright sat there and cried.
My wife walked down the aisle to Bold as Love at our wedding.

If six were nine. Of course flying on a dose of the goodstuff with my headphones on.
Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) is my favorite of his, but he's just go so much good stuff it's impossible to list it all.

Mitch Mitchell is a complete badass on that song
