Yamisonic Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 So, my dad's going off on some trip and he's bringing me a few records. Before I say anything else, I rarely get any original records -- No more than 5, or 7 if it's a good year, each year.Well, I thought about finally getting Hendrix albums, so I put Are You Experienced? on the list. I'm sure about this one. So I was thinking about other albums, and here's my question: Is Electric Ladyland entertaining? Because I've seen it has 17 minute songs or something, and I don't want to get an album full of filler songs that go on forever. Is it really that good?And how good is Axis: Bold As Love?Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Niveen Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Electric Ladyland is Hendrix's masterpiece. Go for it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamisonic Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 I'm going to do a wild move, and I've put all three Experience albums (and Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti) on the must-bring list. I hope I won't be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Axis:Bold As Love is his best, that's what Joe Bonamassa told me years ago and he was right.Has anyone ever heard of Joe? He is one of the most wicked players out their today in the vein of SRV and Hendrix. I know Joe because he is from my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very underrated considering the fact that no so many people know about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most kids my age who listen to rock music don't know who he is, which is a real crime.Joe actually attended my first concert when I was 9 years old come to think of it .

Alan Niveen Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 (edited) Not a bad idea to start with the first album, Are You Experienced ?Electric Ladyland is more experimental. Edited April 24, 2006 by Alan Niveen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started with Axis and was very pleased but it's the weakest of the three IMO. Though it does have Little Wing, my favourite Hendrix song. I have the other 2 too and Electric Ladyland does seem pretty good but I haven't really listened to it much because it's so long so the only songs I know well are All Along the Watchtower and Voodoo Child. Though those particular songs are worth getting the album for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
