'Lost' Jimi Hendrix Album Discovered

World Entertainment News Network reports that a lost album Jimi Hendrix recorded with rocker Stephen Stills has been discovered more than 30 years after it was recorded.

Stills recently found the recording among a stack of material he taped during the 1970s, and his Crosby, Stills And Nash bandmate Graham Nash is helping him prepare it for release.

Nash tells the Las Vegas Sun, "He has an enormous history of recording. In the '70s, he was a recording fool. He just found a bloody album he made with (Jimi) Hendrix.

"'Oh yeah, I forgot that.' We've got to listen to that... I want to listen to every track he ever recorded in case he recorded with Al Jolson."

Hendrix's solo work in progress at the time of his death has previously been issued as the album First Rays Of The New Rising Sun, but the news of extensive recordings with Stills is a revelation.

Stills' 1970 self-titled debut album did feature Hendrix on one track, Old Times Good Times, but now it seems that there is an album's worth of material. Stills' album also featured Eric Clapton, but it's not known whether there is attack featuring all three guitarists – Clapton has never claimed he recorded with Hendrix, even though the two were friends.

John Frusciante is the biggest Hendrix fanboy in the world, he knows pretty much all his songs and has studied them thoroughlt, and based most of his guitar sounds on them. Also, Jimi is dead, if John used to be better than him, he's obviously still better than him.

for musical reasons of course

[Gargantuan]

Why did they say its an album?
Its just recordings...

[Sad But False]

sounds good hope it gets released...

[Seryaph]

Sorry, but Frusciante has nothing on Hendrix. Not to say that Frusciante isn´t a great guitarist, he is among the best today. Just not as good as Hendrix.

I will admit, Hendrix is a little overrated, but without him many musicans, including Frusciante, wouldnt have had any inspiration. He heavily influenced his sound, so to say that hes better is not only incorrect, but also stupid. And if you people still think that Frusciante is better, then thats just your opinion. It cant be proven which is better, but I would have to say Hendrix left a way bigger impact on music than the RHCP will ever leave.

[cashewchaching]

sweet

[HeXeL]

A missing album... could be just a scam. But I really hope its not, I'd LOVE to hear some unreleased Hendrix songs. Who knows, maybe they'll find some amazing hits that make Voodoo Child sound like a little children's song in comparison.

Well, stated simply: Hendrix was at a right place at a right time. His music would have gone unnoticed if he lived in a different time period.

True, Frusciante is one of the best today, but Hendrix was the best in his day. To a newer generation, there isn't really anything groundbreaking about his music, although it is good.

[Travis^Co]

Stephen Stills is a very underrated guitar player and an amazing song writer. A collaboration with Hendrix definitely would be worth a listen.

[slash_rocks2005]

as long as Europe liked hearing the blues, which i'm sure they're still big on blues influenced music, Hendrix wouldn't be at the wrong place at the wrong time. he wasn't liked that much in America until he toured in Europe and got insanely popular, then came back to America.

John's music as a whole, including solo work, could have just as much of impact we dont know yet John hasn't stopped playing. And if you think about it being one of the best guitar players today means more then it did in the 60's. Back then there wasn't many guitarist so reach the "top" wouldn't have been that hard for Hendrix. Nowadays you have guitar players popping up like weeds. Either way both kick ass and I would very much like to hear this.

You know, I listen to a lot of Hendrix, and every once in a while I still find things that I have never heard anyone else do. Even 40 years later. That could just be that I haven´t listened to enough music since then to find that kind of thing, of course, but I still consider Hendrix to be ground-breaking. Also if people now-a-days don´t consider him to be ground-breaking it is because he made his music 40 years ago. If he came out today . . . we can only wonder.

This is incredible news, I thought it was going to be about the famed "Black Gold" tapes and was angry that it's just being posted now. A collaboration with Stills and Hendrix sounds incredible. A definite buy for me.

Who in hell forgets that they recorded an album with the most influential artist of all time.

[severed-metal]

People quit trying to make John Frusciante a guitar god, he's a great guitarist and leave it at that. All you're doing is further making him overrated.

I can't wait to hear this album though, it 's pretty big news in the music world. Maybe kids will listen to this kind of music instead of all that screamo or emo music.

That's not true at all, there were tons of guitar players back then just like today. John Frucianyterie isn't anything special anyway. Plus that, the Red Hot Chili Peppers blow.

What is this shit about Frusciante? I don't think he has done one interview in which he doesn't praise Hendrix 10 times or more. I love his music but comparing him to Jimi is like comparing Oasis to the Beatles, there simply wouldn't be a goddamn Oasis if it wasn't for the Beatles. You can prefer one or the other, but you won't get away from the fact that a good 50-60% of John's playing style and tone comes solely from studying Jimi Hendrix to the extent that he has. John has said so himself several times, and as a fan of both I can hear what he's talking about.

[BlueOyster23]

If I'm not mistaken, the song "White Nigger" was recorded by the two, and it's pretty well circulated in the bootleg community.

[aaciseric]

People forget how much of an inovator Jimi Hendrix was. He invented musical styles and types of playing and his work in the studio was phenomenal, before him no one used Phase Shifting or did the things he did with Panning. Plus the fact that he wrote excellent riffs and song with amazing solos.

Hendrix was great, but he's seriously over rated these days. He's been surpassed 100x over by guitarists of multiple genres. I still have respect for what he did, but to say that he's the greatest guitarist ever is a huge overstatement.

[LegsOnEarth]

This has GOT to be released... I think i have a bootleg of Hendrix & Stills playing together, but it may be fake? I am confused and joyful!

Hi, this is RU Experienced? and I support this comment.

[Eirien]

I bet it's bobbins like all the other material released since Jimi's death. If he didn't want to release something when he was alive, that means he didn't think it was good enough to release. I'm not gonna disrespect the memory of one of the finest and most reputable musicians of all time by listening to the album.

[BigMuffBlues]

I almost lost faith in mankind reading this forum. There is not debate as to whether or not Hendrix is the greatest. He was the first person to use the electric guitar as an electric guitar. He is hands down the greatest rhythm player every, and he's been known to lay down some good solos as well. And his tone, for what he had available at the time is unbeatable.

Then there's Frusciante. His tone blows. It sounds like he bought a Strat, plugged it into a half decent amp, and did nothing to change his sound. It's really not a great sound. I've seen his pedal board too, and I'm not sure what he does with all those effects, cause he still sounds like crap. He's just not that interesting or creative of a player. By the way, his solo is Dani California is an absolute rip-off of Purple Haze.

If you don't have Band of Gypsies, you are honestly not entitled to give an opinion about Jimi Hendrix. Has that many people on this post really not heard Machine Gun, widely considered the holy grail of electric guitar? The most innovative and original guitarist ever, and Machine Gun will never be topped. There's a lot of dumb people out there...

[Pizza The Hut]

What's with all of the Frusciante dick sucking and comparisons with Jimi? This generation of RHCP mallcore babies is RETARDED. Saying he is better (then Jimi) is about the dumbest thing I've ever heard on UG. Hell, he is average at best.... and there are WAY better Hendrix copy cats like Uli Roth and Trower, and little douches are talking about Fruciante...WTF?

I am in utter shock that people think that Frusciante is anywhere near the league of the greatest guitarists. Im sorry to say but Frusciante is okay but no ways will he ever even be in my top 100.

[i_am_metalhead]

Had Hendrix not died he never would have become as famous as he is today - the death of a rising star really brings a lot more attention to them and their music!

Stills' story isnt too hard to believe. Bill Ward (Black Sabbath) says that he doesn't remember recording the album Heaven and Hell. People were so messed up on drugs back then they couldn't tell what was really going on lol.

But this is great news. Hopefully they get this tape remastered and get it released to the public soon!

Recorded in the '70s?

And what the **** quit all your whining about who's better. Every time any artist gets mentioned in any news article there is one tool who makes a passing comment about how he thinks one musician is better than another and this rsults in 500 idiots saying 'OMGWTF you so retated lawl'.

Frusiante is SO FAR away from being one of the greatest guitarists alive today, that the comments above make me laugh. His riffs are very generic, and not very technical at all.

The RHCP are lucky to have such a great rythem section, because without Chad and Flea, they wouldn't be doing much.

He heavily influenced his sound, so to say that hes better is not only incorrect, but also stupid. And if you people still think that Frusciante is better, then thats just your opinion. It cant be proven which is better, but I would have to say Hendrix left a way bigger impact on music than the RHCP will ever leave.


Well, stated simply: Hendrix was at a right place at a right time. His music would have gone unnoticed if he lived in a different time period.

.....uh.....no.....different time periods of music wouldnt'a happened without him.

i agree except that hendrix isnt overrated.

frusciante is no where close to hendrix. watch them both play live and thats really all you need to see. the music just pours out of hendrix and there's no stopping between songs, unreal.

Hendrix is overrated? Have you listened to his stuff? His live stuff? The guy was a fckin genius. He took feedback and made music with it, and his improv was amazing. He soloed with his teeth (lol). He was just an amazing, unmatched, WAY before his time guitarist. Saying Hendrix is overrated is total bullshit, he deserves every bit of credit he's earned. Hendrix was God!

[BigMuffBlues]

There is only one version of Machine Gun worth listening to, from Band of Gypsies. Everything is just so inferior compared to it. It honestly transcends guitar. I think Slash said he takes a nap after listening to it. By the way, it's the one with Buddy on drums. He sings towards the end.

And I don't think the RHCP ass-clown can really play Hendrix stuff as good as Hendrix, since no matter how much you practice Hendrix's stuff, you can't make it sound just like him. That's why he's so good.

Buy the Band of Gypsies DVD and watch Hendrix play Machine Gun to fully appreciate it. I have never seen anyone in so much command of a guitar as Hendrix playing that song.

ouch.. whats with all the Hendrix flames !!! Hendrix isn't the best because of his technical prowess.. or his speed, or whatever... Hendrix is one of the all time greats (not the greatest) because he was an originator,, a groundbreaker, and a massive influence on many of todays greats... ... ie.. Frusciante, satriani, etc...

Stills: "Oh yeah, I just remembered I did a record featuring me, Jimi, Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Kurt Cobain, Kirk Hammet, Alex Lifeson, Tom Morello, Slash, Dimebag Darrel, Zakk Wylde, Randy Rhoades, Pete Townshend, Keith Richards, Joe Perry, Jimmy Paige, Neil Young, Kerry King, Peter Frampton, Steve Vai, Michael Angelo Batio, and of course the greatest guitarist of all time, John Frusciante. Woops! Sorry. Don't do drugs, kids."

You also forgot Dave Mustaine, B.B King, Joe Walsh, Mark Tremonti, and Tony Iommi... and Richie Blackmore

Every Hendrix fanboy is now about to come. Seriously, his best stuff will most probably not be on the album, it would have been done earlier in his career.

He's good and all, but there's better out there.

[dthrasher]

I'm not the biggest Hendrix fan, I probably have about 10 songs on my ipod that I listen to infrequently, but for people to come here and suggest that Hendrix is either; Overrated, a "One Trick Pony", or that Frusciante is anywhere near the level that Hendrix was at is so completely ludicrous that it's laughable. Hendrix is considered one of the best, and rightly so, because of not only his skill with a guitar, but his pioneering a sound/style that has influenced so many thousands of guitarists and why his work is still relevant today. It is impossible to not recognize his achievements unless you are just a complete tool that gets off on putting down bands that are too popular.

Now for something more relevant to the article, I'm very interested to hear these recordings, Stephen Stills is great too and it should be an interesting collaboration.

Anyone not talking about band of gypsys Hendrix you are ignorant put simply. Listen to the Filmore concerts appreciate how incredible they are.

Then compare them to most of the music that comes out today. Notice the incredible sounds generated compared to the concerts today.

Then think of how revolutionary this was in the 60s.

Your right, Hendrix isnt the greatest guitarist. He sure as hell was the greatest manipulator of the soul in history though.

"How are you foos' comparing John Frusciante to Jimi Hendrix. Without Jimi Hendrix there wouldn't be John Frusciante in the first place, have some appreciation for a dead guitar legend."

I think we all appreciate what hendrix did with his music, but you need to realize that he had his share of influences too. Listen to his blue's album. A lot of what he plays stems from his infatuation with blues guitar.

[skindred]

look, the man created absolutely amazing music while tripping his face off on acid.

that alone puts him way above frusciante, listen to "1983", hendrix was in a room with nothing but acid and his guitar, and he made IMO the most beautiful song ever created.

Unlike you, I was able to voice my opinion of the Hendrix/Frusciante argument in a sensible manner. As I clearly stated, I think Andrew W.K. is better than Hendrix, who in turn is far superior to the RHCP (who I was never able to get into) and all of those musicians are better than crap like All That Remains

Ah, you can't really compare the two musicians in regards to how much drug abuse they took. Both abused them WAY TOO MUCH! Frusciante was hooked on heroin for many, many years. Search for his interview in 1994 and you can see just how screwed up he was.

Damn this sounds cool, I love Hendrix and Stephen Stills is one of my favourite Guitarists too. Personally, i dont know how anyone can pass judgment on Hendrix and Frusciante, I dont say one is crap and the other awesome, I prefer to just say, i like one, dont like the other. Once i start selling albums and being called greater than Hendrix then perhaps I will pass a judgement.

[dookiecheese]

"Well, stated simply: Hendrix was at a right place at a right time. His music would have gone unnoticed if he lived in a different time period."
yeah thats complete bs without hendrix there would be a huge gap you tool. If you want to attribute his sucess to good timing then your quite stupid, i dont think black people werent accepted largely during the 1950's60's and to a lesser extent the 70's but still not on the level that they are gladly today accepted.
His success is directly a cause of his talent and deep music.

[guitarshreder03]

yea this should be front page

[banjo1735]

Hendrix was a good guitarist, but I think a lot of people mistake innovation for skill.

He provided the foundation for many, many guitarists who have since surpassed Hendrix at the art. Compared to say, Ron Thal or Buckethead, Hendrix's style is rather primitive; he almost always used the blues scale, and his technique wouldn't stand up to theirs' at all. But, of course, without Hendrix, it is doubtful that guitar would've developed the way it has.

I will admit, Hendrix is a little overrated, but without him many musicans, including Frusciante, wouldnt have had any inspiration. He heavily influenced his sound, so to say that hes better is not only incorrect, but also stupid. And if you people still think that Frusciante is better, then thats just your opinion. It cant be proven which is better, but I would have to say Hendrix left a way bigger impact on music than the RHCP will ever leave.

so true, i'm not that big of a Hendrix fan but he did inspire me

Hendrix was a good guitarist, but I think a lot of people mistake innovation for skill.

He provided the foundation for many, many guitarists who have since surpassed Hendrix at the art. Compared to say, Ron Thal or Buckethead, Hendrix's style is rather primitive; he almost always used the blues scale, and his technique wouldn't stand up to theirs' at all. But, of course, without Hendrix, it is doubtful that guitar would've developed the way it has.

Conclusion: Brilliant innovator, overrated guitarist

this is the wisest comment yet...

can everyone stop bitching about frusciant vs hendrix and hendrix vs etc? I dont like even hendrix but god dammit just give the man respect. and can people start talking about the album rather than comparing his skills???

Please stop saying Frusciante is better than Hendrix. Go watch the Live At Woodstock DVD of Hendrix. It's pure epicness.


No man.
Monterey was better.

Monterey was amazing. I like Woodstock just a lil bit more. But both are mind blowing. Id like to see Frusciante light his guitar on fire and play like Hendrix did on that night.

[bicko19]

I'd laugh so hard if it turned out to be a pop album with no guitar at all, with Jimmi singing You Raise Me Up or something =P.

But seriously, this is pretty exciting!

[theocao]

thank god this news is awesome plus ug isn't posting news about slipknots new album or dragons forces tour or some other crap we need more news like this.

[matosh.lee]

yah^ my friend is going to cream when he hears about this. im still pretty excited myself.

[ginrog]

If you people are on here trying to deny that Hendrix's legacy is overrated maybe you are playing thew wrong instrument. Purple Haze set a standard back then and if newly released now would do the same because there would not be any of this music we hear today.

The Beatles would probably all still be alive and releasing 'I want to hold your Colostomy Bag'.

Besides he actually made Dylan's music listenable by recording the best cover song of all time.

[funkbass369]

okay people need to stop comparing frusciante and hendrix. some people like frusciante better, some people like hendrix better. believe what you want and stop preaching to everyone else. this is coming from somone who is in live with RHCP.

[nandezfranchise]

Manic Depression, Castles made of Sand, Little Wing, Voodoo Chile, Hear my Train a Comin.

more gold on the way i'm sure. I won't waste my time or anyone else's debating previous comments suggesting Hendrix to be overrated. You're a person I don't ever want to associate with.

[Cultus_Diabolus]

Alright gotta throw my two cents in.

Jimi Hendrix in great in the light that he never once had a lesson; never once studied music; he literally just picked up a guitar and played it and became a guitar hero. Hell, he played the guitar upside down. He didn't care. He was completely and utterly his own style.

I don't see how John Frusciante is even relevant nor do I see why some moron brought him up. Stop sucking RHCP's balls and take a word at its value.

[Satchafunkilus]

Did they really forget about it, or were they just waiting for the right moment to release it?!

True, Frusciante is one of the best today, but Hendrix was the best in his day. To a newer generation, there isn't really anything groundbreaking about his music, although it is good.

Have you not heard any of Frusciantes Solo stuff???

Some of you people are dumb. You can't compare dead and living guitarists and say one's better than the other because if Hendrix was alive...he might have made up some even more crazy shit and might have become the best guitarist of all time. I know kids that can play Hendrix and kids that can play Frusciante. Neither one is the greatest guitarist of all time but both are/were pretty damn good at the things they play. Also, to say that Hendrix was better because he invented that sound is just dumb as hell..music is supposed to grow and improve over time. It's true that without people like Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Sabbath and shit that most bands today wouldn't be what they are. But that doesn't make them better that just makes them the pioneers to a sound that is supposed to get better and better. And to the people that say Frusciante sucks and Hendrix is god...if that was true then Frusciante wouldn't be able to play everything Hendrix played. Both are cool and leave it at that. Oh, and I don't really like either one, I prefer metal. But I can appreciate a good guitarist when I hear one.

Too bad you're assuming people refer to them as gods for their technical ability, not for their talent and compositions.

[Graveworm]

Sex tape now an album?

[Stoner Guy]

why are so many people talking about "Jimi Hendrix is so overrated" who cares, he's not my favorite, but i can at least admit he's better than Hammett, Mustaine, Fruciante, really everybody. part of my reasoning behind this comment is that they all have their own styles, so if you wanna get technical (looks like most of you do) you can't even begin to compare one to another. just take this music, listen to it, play it, love it, hate it. in the end it doesn't matter.

I love Frusciante, I'm sure he'll laugh at these comments comparing him to Hendrix. The fact is that Jimi changed rock music, John hasn't, yet.

I'd love to hear those jamms with Stills, hope Experience Hendrix won't keep them secret like Black Gold, due to be released sometime in 2042...

[guitarmanzac]

you cant compare hendrix and frusciante, its like, henrdix took the rock half way up the hill and john took that rock and took it further up the hill, he had to use jimi's original rock carrying to get where hes at. (for those of you who couldnt tell, that was a shitty analogy. the rock going up the hill is music progressing.)

[HendrixClaptonP]

What in the hell is it with some idiots these days? One article by Rolling Stone (who contibuted to the demise of Cream and dissed Led Zeppelin for the best part of thirty years) and suddenly everyone thinks that Frusciante and Mayer are comparable to Hendrix. If they told yo to jump off a cliff would you do it?
Take Mayer or Frusciante away from music, and in Mayer's case there is little missing, in the case of RHCP there is a bit missing. Take Hendrix and his contempoarries Clapton and Page outta modern music and we'd still be listeniong to the beach boys, and the eagles would be considered heavy metal, thats how influential, innovative and important these guys were!
As for Hednirx being over-ratwed, listen to woodstock improv, fairly tight technique with some quite fast sections, and combining classical, flamenco, blues, funk, rock and even some counry into a cohesive imporv! Few guitarists today has even ventured inot that territory, and certainy not all in one song!. As for technique, (A) it's not everything (B) Hednirx was the equivalent of maybe even Steve Via for the time, everyone wo came after benefitted fro the knowledge these early guys amassed, just as they had from the early bluesmen. If you ask me, it is the modern guitarists these days who are over-rated.

[metalist86435]

He's gonna rickroll us.

Arrr i love John He has a HUGE beard right now!

And i think Hendrix and Frusciante are both gods. I always argue with my mate as he thinks Justin Hawkins is best guitarist out there...but he has no soul or energy to his music other than that he can play well in a technical sense.

[shadow__666]

I bet it's a hoax. Oh, and Hendrix > Frusciante > 99% of other guitarists.

This is cool if the face value is true. Would be coo to ehar it. AS for the Fruciante thing, they are both absolute geniuses but a bit of we sways towards fruciante more...

[Cheesepuff]

Holy shit.

[MonsterOfRock]

Who the retard started this Hendrix s Frusciante crap?

Firstly, Jimi is undoubtedly THE MOST INFLUENTIAL guitarist to walk the earth. He revolutionised the electric guitar. Hell, he was influencing great guitarists from his era. And modern guitarists including Frusciante and JOE SATRIANI!!! (damn dude!)

Meanwhile, John Frusciante is one of the best guitarist of the modern era. Nothing More. And his style is not a massive innovation from Hendrix'.

Hence, the argument is pointless, retarded and a fruit of mental illness.

(Hendrix wins by default)

[sugapablo]

Hendrix overrated? Frusciante even CLOSE to what Hendrix was? Damn there are some silly frickin' children on this site!

Hendrix is not only THE greatest electric guitar player of all time, he is one of the greatest musicians ever. I base this on the following criteria:

1) Mastery of his instrument.
2) Influence to others on said instrument.
3) Innovation on said instrument.
4) Ability to go beyond technical prowess and convey personal emotion through said instrument.

How many musicians, rock, classical, jazz, whatever, can lay claim to the level of the above 4 criteria that Hendrix did and ANY instrument? Yehudi Menuhin? Miles Davis? There aren't many. Certainly not Frusciante, even if I like him.

To claim someone like Frusciante is a better guitarist than Jimi is just ludicrous.

BTW: Machine Gun 12-31-1969 is one of the greatest single musical performances EVER caught on tape.

[Gsh]

Amazing find. Let me get this please. And anything else that's been collecting dust in your closet Mr. Stills. Recording wise that is.

[D is for Danger]

awesome!!!!!I hope it comes out, i don't have any of Jimi's album, this'll be my first. If it goes out of course....

[whitesnake7]

cool!
This should be front page of international news i reckon.
Gonna' have to hear the album soon as it's released

[MacAoidh]

^Good post.
But not even taking the context of his work into account I don't any guitar player comes close (maybe Zappa but he played for a lot longer). My criteria are:
1)Expression
(techniques yes but essentially how to use them to affect)
2)Improvisation (Key imo)
3)Composition (linked to improvisation, the ability to write great pieces of music, songs, melodies and so on)

People just don't realise how much and how jaw droppingly well Hendrix improvised his playing on the fly. Sure Frusciante can recreate what Hendrix did but he could never create anything of that quality in the first place.

Show me some Frusciante playing on the level of Electric Church Red House, Band of Gypsys Machine Gun, Winterland Voodoo Chile, Berkeley Hear My Train' etc etc or Frusciante compositions as good as Little Wing, Crosstown Traffic etc etc and I'll give you a cookie.


Course Frusciante's not bad but cmon...

Well, stated simply: Hendrix was at a right place at a right time. His music would have gone unnoticed if he lived in a different time period.

You can say that for anyone. RHCP would have been unnoticed if they weren't around in the boom of alternative music. They didn't even really play a major part in bringing alternate music to the mainstream.

[LukeRoss]

He's still not as good as Frusciante hahaha

im just excited to hear about this album to be honest.. i hope they release it

[nick_kcin]

history lesson:
no one here would play guitar the same if it wasn't for hendrix, no one since about 1970 would've played the guitar the same if it wasn't for hendrix, I'd say hes the best creator of music ever, thats my opinion, but all things considered (playing skill, creativity, influence etc) he is the best guitarist ever and its very unlikely that anyone will ever be better than him. either you agree with me or he's just a bit above your heads. sorry to those who dont agree but it took me a while to 'get him' too and its just the truth, you either get it or you're wrong

[thedayididntdie]

haha, it kind of looks like this subject is controversial. and i agree that we needed hendrix to inspire todays greatest such as John Frusciante, but he was also great himself. he may not have been a shredder . But he did write some powerful and thought provoking songs. his music can strike an emotion and truly make you fell different then any other artist can.

Honestly, yeah...most people now do call a good or even just decent guitar player a god..that term gets thrown around too much today. Neither one is or ever will be the best, just maybe the best at what they play. To be a good guitar player to me, they need the talent, tech ability and be able to write masterpieces from time to time...not just the same shit over and over again like most of the music today.

I don't see the point in agruing about whether someone is a better guitarist than another, since I'm pretty sure the guy who started the whole arguement was meaning for this to happen. The answer to the arguement has already been settled, so there's no point in arguing this anymore. SndThePnBlw and MedicreDemon have the right idea. Even so, this whole arguement is completely off-topic to the article in the first place.

I hope UG posts the release date for this. I wonder what else they'll find from the 70's. And also, Clapton and Hendrix were friends? Man, an album from them would be amazingness. Who knows? Maybe they'll find a recording of Hendrix playing with Jesus too.

[GuitarNinja12]

Frusciante better then Hendrix? Nah. All Frusciante ever did was come up with some cool funky grooves based on Hendrix's work. Whil Hendrix on the other hand took a plain ol stratocaster and transformed it into a screaming sonic surfboard and took us on an incredible journey across the stars and galaxy.

[ClickClick]

frusciante/vai/malmsteen etc have technique. Hendrix, on the other hand, had so much soul, and feel for his music, that even though it is in fact technically inferior, it evokes emotion like no other musician could ever hope for. The only one who came close was Dylan, and Hendrix idolized Dylan.

[Hendrixreborn]

Hey guys, just thought i'd have my 2cents, as there are alot of dumb things being said, stated and then repeated possibly by some noobs who dont even own a Hendrix album or a RHCP album.

Firstly Hendrix is god! Please dont confuse my name for arrogance as its just an amazing name.

Secondly John Frusciante is also god! And there are people here slating Frusciante for no reason. Frusciante has said it before and will say it again, that he doesn't compare himself to Hendrix and that Hendrix is his idol, and that he admires Hendrix's creativity, and bases his own style upon Hendrix's.

Penultimately Hendrix was a pioneer and a genius in the studio and in my opinion created the best genre and the most eclectic mix of the most beautiful songs you will ever hear in your life.

Finally and to sum up, Hendrix is god and Frusciante is god!! That's all there is to it.

I hope the true Hendrix and Frusciante fans appreciate my comment and my insight and the fact that i typed this in as little shorthand as possible and on my mobile/cell phone.

Cheers ~Xx peace xX~

[dustyoffski]

There is No comparison between a rip-off artist and Jimi Hendrix, however much you may enjoy him. Now to the mystery album. Hendrix was a well known jammer and collaborator, and a consumate musician. I can't imagine anything more enjoyable than hearing something new from Hendrix let alone Stephen Stills! More important! There is only a handful (maybe less) of all acoustic performances by Hendrix out there. If these works are acoustic in nature, a must have, a must have anyway.

[dustyoffski]

when i say acoustic performances i mean individual songs, not an entire acoustic set. That would be something you only hear when you get up to rock and roll heaven

Stills: "Oh yeah, I just remembered I did a record featuring me, Jimi, Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Kurt Cobain, Kirk Hammet, Alex Lifeson, Tom Morello, Slash, Dimebag Darrel, Zakk Wylde, Randy Rhoades, Pete Townshend, Keith Richards, Joe Perry, Jimmy Paige, Neil Young, Kerry King, Peter Frampton, Steve Vai, Michael Angelo Batio, and of course the greatest guitarist of all time, John Frusciante. Woops! Sorry. Don't do drugs, kids."

Hendrixreborn :
Hey guys, just thought i'd have my 2cents, as there are alot of dumb things being said, stated and then repeated possibly by some noobs who dont even own a Hendrix album or a RHCP album.

Firstly Hendrix is god! Please dont confuse my name for arrogance as its just an amazing name.

Secondly John Frusciante is also god! And there are people here slating Frusciante for no reason. Frusciante has said it before and will say it again, that he doesn't compare himself to Hendrix and that Hendrix is his idol, and that he admires Hendrix's creativity, and bases his own style upon Hendrix's.

Penultimately Hendrix was a pioneer and a genius in the studio and in my opinion created the best genre and the most eclectic mix of the most beautiful songs you will ever hear in your life.

Finally and to sum up, Hendrix is god and Frusciante is god!! That's all there is to it.

I hope the true Hendrix and Frusciante fans appreciate my comment and my insight and the fact that i typed this in as little shorthand as possible and on my mobile/cell phone.

Amen.

Well, I can see you guys floated away from the subject. I don't understand why though. Does it matter which one is the greater, or the greatest, at playing guitar?
you do not have to compete. That's not what music is about!
I just write to wonder if anyone knows if this news is true?
it would be wonderful.
