What a difference a year or 3 makes !!
A couple of rounds of new card issuers.
One that was bleating about being given a red card at the start of the thread is now an issuer of such.
One who was issuing them, now has been issued a couple as well as a yellow one.
One who used to run to an issuer who is no longer an issuer has been on the receiving end.
Funny stuff from a funny place.
Don't forget the most hilarious part - the permanently-banned thread originator who is reduced to ghost-writing forum commentary.

Actually, he was banned for a spell..............done most recently due to some intolerance for his juvenile behavior. He conveniently forgot to mention that.

Yep, a funny place indeed.

I could say the same about you.
Maybe I need to be very bored to stoop so low as to post in some of the threads on here. Conversely, there are those without the intellect to read some threads on here.
I see you have picked up a count.

I cringe when a 20 something pops out 'back in the day', and I usually remind them back in the day they were in diapers at best.

I was weaned on Hendrix 'Back in the day' around 1969

Have to agree with you here.

You have a few years on me.

My first taste of Hendrix was in 1970, when I heard some bootlegged material one of the older guys in the nieghborhood swiped from his older brother who had just returned from California, where he saw Hendrix perform live.

If you have a decent stereo system and access to digitally re-mastered C.D.,listen to the guitar solo on 'Are you Experianced'..still gives me chill bumps..its like Jimi's axe was alive..on fire..and trying to get away from him.

Mrs Goodwin, God bless her soul, used to freak when I put my speakers in the front window with an old pair of Heathkit 28 watt tube amps and preamps per channel my Uncle gave me.
She'd tell the police 'he played that do do do do song again'

That's funny, I did the same thing, whenever my parents were out of the house.
I am trying to recollect a rational motive for it, but the bottom line rule was, the 'louder the better".
Not much of a Hendrix person back then, but Pink Floyd, esp the scream "Careful with that Axe, Eugene" did it every time.

I think Hendrix' finest performance was documented during Monterey Pop Festival 1967, D.A. Pennebaker. That's were he sets the guitar on fire, btw.

Birds of a feather....

Hendrix and Pink Floyd, definitely awesome, but for sheer neighbor irritation, I have never found anything to equal Freak Out...

I can't do Zappa, it's against my religion ... just kidding.

I realize his enormous musical genius, ingenuity and influence. His selected harmonies and abruptly changing rhythmics just don't sit well with me.

Guess that's what happens when you do drug free rock.
