passionate review, but you could have at least mentioned some tracks... the songs are mostly beautiful, the problem is that Hendrix needs to be listened to in his long improvisations (which are absent here)... in short, for me, Hendrix is one of those rock artists for whom the "best of" doesn't make sense (other than as an appetizer)

Good job!

very violent, already from '64, the debut year of the Who (perhaps the only band in the world capable of tearing it up as much as the Sonics did back then)

5 dry to J.Scatman.

*many avant-rock bands from the 90s

I mean, you had to turn to the Yankees to get an MBV shirt?? :-D

really cute that movie...

An original "blues lesson," from which many have drawn inspiration (practically everyone who from the new wave onwards has dealt with the wildest blues, from The Cramps to J. Spencer). Much more "normal" than TMR, yet rich in original solutions, screeching guitars, shifting rhythms... And what a voice! My favorites: Abba Zabba and Yellow Brick Road. At a time when blues seemed to have definitively intellectualized, the Captain brought it back to the Delta of the Mississippi, returning it to its brutal, monstrous, transgressive dimension... P.S. In the CD version, there are also bonus tracks, with the incomparable Jeff Cotton joining in: these are improvised jams, mostly instrumental, in which you can hear certain guitar intertwining reminiscent of many avant-rock bands from the '90s (from Don Caballero to Supreme Dicks). SEMINAL (from every point of view).

Just Like Honey is stunning (and it single-handedly founded shoegazer)...the rest of the album doesn't say much to me...I struggle to get to the end, after a while it just bores me...I prefer MBV, they made better songs...oh well, I evidently have a bizarre idea of noise-pop...anyway, merry Christmas...

The concert was ridiculously bad last night at Bloom... they played for almost an hour (too long for them), they were wasted and ridiculously serious (I mean, Marco was playing the guitar hero, you know? He was doing blues scales, he was channeling Ritchie Blackmore, pretending to play well... come on, the Wolfango shouldn’t play like this... the guitar was in tune, not a single note was off, ugh... and where's the no-wave??), I yawned a lot, they had a pathetic setlist: they didn’t play Uva Passa, Alligatori, Summer Holydays... they opened with Prima (come on, how do you start a concert with Prima?? and then they played it horribly, super slow, they’re the only band in the world that plays live slower than on the record)... then I lost it when they did the cover of All Tomorrows Parties: naaaahhh, really? them, who have made ignorance their banner, paying tribute to their ancestors (and in a pathetic way, I might add)! Anyway, Bruno wasn’t there, Marco was doing everything practically: kazoo, guitar (damn! I wanted the distorted bass!), and he played a kick drum with his foot (Batman and Robin without Brunone makes no sense :-((). Sofia was bouncing and sitting, getting back up and starting to bounce again, then sitting down again... no, they disappointed me a bit, but there were some nice moments (OZIO!), but the best show was given by the audience (at the end of Verità a guy shouted "E BASTAAAAA!!!")... too many applauses, though... I think a band like that doesn't want to be applauded; it’s not in their nature... of course, if they start to act like virtuosos...
