WWAW Jimi Hendrix never writing an actual good song

[Riccardo Bosi]

oh I'm familiar with it, and yes he's been awful live really since like 1966. You'll find an okay performance through like 1975 and the Petty Tour in 86 had a few moments but it's been largely dog shit. You heard the live in 1964 album? It's the best he's ever sounded by a million miles.

Dylan toured here over a decade age and BB King opened for him. They'd play smaller venues, not arenas or anything. After King was done, half way through the first Dylan song half the crowds would leave.

I could see that. I do respect his not giving a fuck, but why not try to be decent? He might be the ultimate troll.

it went from that to this in 2 years:



And then all sorts of sideways after. It makes me barely tell people I share a birthday with the fucker.

Some think he was trolling before it was cool. He would purposely sing like shit whenever he felt like it and deliver uneven performances. If you attended his live shows, you never knew/know what Dylan you would get.

A little bit disingenuous to post a live version, but no; I don't like Bob Diltoy's original version.

His studio version is subpar to Hendrix's version.

I’m not the biggest of Hendrix guys but I’ve liked this song since the first time I heard my mom play it in the car when I was a kid

Nice screwing up the lyrics, stupid. It's "Joker" to the thief, and "Brotha" Joe says "junkie"

haha how the fuck does Ray Wilson have a 20-person backing band
