I love Red House and Voodoo Chile. Those songs are awesome.

He is the Guitar God. Nobody can touch his 'Star Spangled Banner' solo at Woodstock, the most emotional piece of guitar playing I've ever heard. Ever.

He was not a wanker, but he could play really fast. And it was not showing off, but expressing emotions. Jimi wasn't technically perfect, and that's why I love him for. There was a human factor in his playing, not present in maaany shredders' style.

My favourite songs would be Voodoo Chile, All Along The Watchtower, Hey Joe, Purple Haze, Foxy Lady, Little Wing, Hey Baby, Voodoo Child (Slight Return), Hear My Train-A-Coming and Crosstown Traffic.

He`s a legend! I`m luving his music.. Yeah, this is my first time seeing the thread.

We need more posts here!

Anybody else into Jimi?

Me of coarse

Anwyway, I love all his songs..and I mean every single one of them..but my favorite, is 'All Along The Watchtower'. ed it since the first time I heard it. My other favorites are Voodoo Chile and Purple Haze.

He`s the man!

One is an original genius, the other played in a very succesful The Who Tribute Band, named after an aircraft filled with hot air

Apples and oranges.
