My dad got into Hendrix after he was gone...not really his era, I remember him playing the UFO track on one of his albums...again and again. He was amazed that anyone could get a guitar to sound like that.
Zevon...I blew out a rear speaker once with either that song or Werewolves of London. I'm thinking the later.
Hey. I can blow all your speakers at once if it gets me anywhere!
Werewolves of London definitely has some irregular sounds included in the mix. With no other info, I would guess that one.
Your dad was right. But I was around for the beginning of his - or rather OUR awareness of Hendrix. When he died, I died a little, too. I just ditched school and left. I could not face any part of math or history bullshit - Fuck He died today!! I just left and cried.
Hendrix took guitar further than anyone ever had and no one has begun to approach what he did with very minimal equipment (at first - then toward the end anything he wanted, but it was fucking 1970 and there "weren't" that much to work with, just a loud amp, a pedal or two, any guitar he could find, various echo thingies that no one knew what to do with, a tape machine you could fool into playing yesterdays tracks backwards - 'bout sums it all up)
Just look at what he was able to create with such a tiny palette of audio stuff to work through AND in such a short amount of time he had things his way.
