To label "The Jimi Hendrix Experience" a classic rock band is blasphemy in my eyes/ears. You could have just kicked me in the nuts repeatedly, it would feel better. It is like calling SRV "one of those blues guitarists" :shock:

ok, ok, you have a good sense of humor.
But can you/ do you appreciate what Joey B wrote?

Yes I do, but I don't really know how else to label TJHE. Granted, labels are problematic all around. Much like I really have no idea what the difference between Death Metal and Black Metal is.

(I use the same lame joke on other forums when I call a band Death Metal and someone slams me because they think the band is Black Metal. If you listen to the drumming in most Death Metal bands it does sound like German Polka, or oom-pah as it is sometimes called)

I understand your label, but until you get past the usual "radio bullshit" of the Hendrix collection, you will never fully understand his message. :!:

Now we are getting somewhere :twisted: . Listen to the second side of "Electric Ladyland" with headphones on. You will understand at that point. :evil:
