It's not so much which hand you use, but which part of the brain. Left-handed people predominantly use the right side, the one associated with creativity. It’s no coincidence that Hendrix, Maradona, Leonardo da Vinci, and of course I, are all left-handed ;D. Hendrix's father, for the little time Jimi spent with him, did every imaginable job, some even not entirely legal. When his father went to work, Hendrix would put on his dad's blues records and play the broom like a guitar. His father would always find broom pieces lying around, and one day he took him aside and asked what he was doing. And the first instrument he had was a ukulele, not a guitar, they couldn’t afford one. The architect argument might work with Roger Waters, but with Hendrix "in my opinion" it's a stretch. P.S. Are you still on about the solo in "Stairway To Heaven"?

I fully agree with comment number 103. Donnie, for Page's plagiarism, use Google (it works); moreover, the plagiarism discussion has been addressed in the comments of practically all the reviews of the airship. After 112 comments, I’m quite optimistic that someone will eventually be able to talk about Hendrix. I'm going to sleep because it's late.

Come on, let’s leave Page alone, at least this time.

In the end, the actual review is in the third and fourth paragraphs. I included a lot of material to cover everything that hasn't been said (which is a lot) about Jimi Hendrix and all that has been said incorrectly (even more). In short, I hoped to spark a constructive debate, and besides, it's not that long; Robert Johnson's is even longer ;D

The composer Page is really beautiful; Page has always marked himself as the composer of stuff he never actually composed. He already had that little habit back then.

So, it stands in "Having A Rave Up," the version for the Belgian market, released just in time for the summer of 1966. Of course, they didn't just improvise it in the movie. Anyway, yes, aside from the harmonica and the lyrics, the song is indeed the same; in live versions, Jeff Beck added a lot of his own flair. And I'll tell you more, I've taken the liberty of re-listening to the version from Blow Up, and both solos are played by Jeff Beck. It wasn't recorded live, and in the editing, his amplifier must crackle in that somewhat implausible way, by the way. Jimmy Page contributes as a session musician on bass and guitar for numerous bands, even in "Having A Rave Up," see New York City Blues (listen to believe), but also in many things by the Stones, Kinks, Them, etc., without ever being credited. He only asks to be credited when he’s called to do solos, and that's what happens, for example, with the Who on the single "I Can't Explain"; I believe he plays the solo on the B-side. Let’s say that fundamentally you say hard rock starts with "Stroll On," and I say that, in my opinion, it starts a bit earlier, and maybe not necessarily with the Yardbirds’ "The Train Kept A-Rollin'." At least we agree on what we disagree on. On beer, we’re in agreement, but do I call Page, or do you?

Of course, I agree verbatim with comment number 78.

no no Damn, we’re not on the same page :D. "In Having A Rave Up Jimmy Page" definitely sounds like it’s uncredited, just look at "New York City Blues," both on "Stroll On," which is on "Having A Rave Up," not on the English version of the album, which already had "The Train," but on those from various foreign markets, still from 1965 though. Moreover, the fact that it’s credited first to what you call a bluesman (actually it’s Tiny Bradshaw and he wasn’t one) and then to the Yardbirds is precisely about the lyrics, in the sense that in "The Train Kept A-Rollin’" the Yardbirds only kept the lyrics and completely transformed the music; just listen to the original, and if you want I can send it to you via email, just send me a private message. Antonioni really wanted that song and they realized that the permissions for the copyright weren’t coming from America, so Keith Relph wrote an alternative version of the song on toilet paper while sitting on the toilet. The real confusion was created by those who in 1965 released a dozen different versions of "Having A Rave Up," customized for each market. In total, the distinct tracks amount to a beautiful 23. I hope I’ve been clear enough because I know it’s a mess.

Eh, too easy this way, the puppets are others. However, in fact, fake or not, I really wish we could keep talking about music, about Hendrix, and about blues.

Come on, rat, bring us the others too, we know who they are anyway. And just like that, you’re ashamed of your fakes? PS, that pirate photo is really badass.
