Members Griffin Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 Not sure why that article calls Janie his "half sister"- they have absolutely no blood relation. How the hell did she get to be in charge of his estate, anyhow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Bear Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 Personally I can't wait. I don't really care about the Gibson Hendrix, or anything about his step sister. I look at it this way. At least there's someone out there helping keep Jimmy alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FineLine Posted January 12, 2010 Members Share Posted January 12, 2010 ...I'm not impressed, not when JanieH is involved. Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members noisebloom Posted January 12, 2010 Members Share Posted January 12, 2010 Over the years, I've become wary of the Experience Hendrix LLC marketing machine, but I'll admit I'm interested in this. I hope it lives up to the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members *BLEEP* Posted January 12, 2010 Members Share Posted January 12, 2010 WHEW! It's a good thing they called the new album what they did. I don't think "Valleys Of Uranus" would have worked out. Not sure why that article calls Janie his "half sister"- they have absolutely no blood relation. How the hell did she get to be in charge of his estate, anyhow?A lot of voodoo and skullduggery, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kelly Posted January 12, 2010 Members Share Posted January 12, 2010 Remember, she was behind the Gibson Hendrix signature guitar too. She also made sure all of his albums got remastered and tons of live bootlegs got official releases. What's your point, idiot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emory Posted January 12, 2010 Members Share Posted January 12, 2010 "Did he lay these tracks down with his new Gibson Strat?" NO! I have insider information: he used his Fender Les Paul... Jimi, Jimi, Jimi.... I look forward to it, but feel may be Charlie Brown with Lucy and the football. Yikes! It's all about money for sure. Jimi was screwed over money while alive, may even be indirect cause of his death, so no surprise still milking the dead cow. But let us pray... or prey...i loved Hendrix, and was lucky enough to see him 3 times. at one of the concerts he was god... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bluesidae Posted January 12, 2010 Members Share Posted January 12, 2010 Count me in. Considering the stuff that has been recently released, Hendrix, even a cheap rip-off, is something to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Norcal_GIT_r Posted January 12, 2010 Members Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hendrix at his worst is still better than 90% of what's being released today. I'm looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blingdogg Posted January 12, 2010 Members Share Posted January 12, 2010 Man, I can't wait. I hope it's good. What I'm hoping for the most is good audio quality more than anything. By the way, I thought there was supposed to be a release of his Royal Albert Hall performance by the estate this year? I hate Janie Hendrix for the crap she's done over the years and the way she's running the Hendrix estate (which I don't think she should ), but there have been some good releases here and there. I got probably over 100 bootlegs of Hendrix, so any new material is good to me. I have really low expectations of this (law of diminishing returns and all that). For someone who had a recording career (of his own) of around 3/4 years, I think his studio output was stellar (Experienced, Axis and Ladyland). I went through the Hendrix is God and I must buy everything phase and ended up with 50 or so albums. There is some REAL {censored} out there. I'd say you could buy the 3 above albums plus Cry of Love, Jimi Hendrix Concerts, Soundtrack of the Jimi Hendrix documentary film, Jimi plays Monterey and Radio One Sessions and not be missing out on much else. To think those recordings came from 3/4 years is amazing, but I can hear the bottom of the barrel being scraped I disagree completely. Some of my favorite albums (bootlegs) of Hendrix are his performances at Winterland, Atlanta, Sweden, San Diego, and Berkeley. Not to mention the Rainbow Bridge concert, Message from nine to the Universe, the Blues album, and the full albums of First Rays of the New Rising Sun and South Saturn Delta. Plus there's good outtakes of his studio recordings. The list goes on and on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members savoldi Posted January 12, 2010 Members Share Posted January 12, 2010 Unreleased, alternate endings, outtakes... Usually there's a good reason for that, and it's almost always because it's either not as good or flat out lousy. I hope not in this case, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Members larry50 Posted January 12, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 12, 2010 Unreleased, alternate endings, outtakes... Usually there's a good reason for that, and it's almost always because it's either not as good or flat out lousy. I hope not in this case, but it wouldn't surprise me. The press release and article seem to indicate that the material has a better pedigree and provenance than that. We'll just have to wait and see.
