Jimi Hendrix — Axis Outtakes

in
By Keith Carman (CHARTattack) December 16, 2003 9:08 am
Dubious at best, this "unearthed collection of gems" from 1967’s Axis: Bold As Love recording sessions mars the Hendrix legend. It features echo-laden album tracks that are poorly remixed and scratch pre-production tracks/alternate vocal takes that even collectors would find painful to listen to more than once. The question here isn’t...

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) July 8, 2011 4:14 pm
The Dropkick Murphys' Sept. 8 and 9 hometown stadium shows at Boston's Fenway Park both sold out in less than an hour. That's going to be a hell of a lot of drunken "Irish" people in one place. With a lot of swearing. And probably several fights. The Black Keys' follow-up to last year's Brothers is finished and should be out by the end of the year...

So we decided to seek out the badasses.Here's 32 albums that have been either banned or censored after their initial release. World Trade Center Destruction 1) Dilated Peoples — "...

The Trews are opening for Kid Rock this summer. It might not seem like east coast hard rock would go with southern rap rock, but this actually makes perfect sense in our brains. D-Sisive and Muneshine are working on a gangsta rap album as The Birthday Boys. Consider this advanced warning. Check out the godawful cover art for Limp Bizkit's new...

This hasn't been a good week for Public Enemy's Flavor Flav. He was arrested in Las Vegas last Friday night on a traffic violation, and cops discovered there were four warrants out for his arrest because of prior run-ins with The Man. At least he smiled for his new mug shot? Meanwhile, Flavor Flav's former business partner has filed a police...

I foresee a huge legal battle over this one. A DVD that features footage which its makers say is Jimi Hendrix having sex will be released as part of a DVD titled Jimi Hendrix: The Story Of The Lost Sex Tape on May 3 in the U.K. through Kaleidoscope. In 2007, the filmmakers say about 11 minutes of hardcore pornography footage was discovered at an...

This isn't quite a full Jimi Hendrix Rock Band game just yet, but you'll at least soon be able to play along to songs by rock's coolest cat on Rock Band (better than you can on guitar) at any rate. Experience Hendrix, the company that owns the rights to Hendrix's music and image, has signed a deal with Harmonix and MTV Games that will see entire...

Jimi Hendrix — Valleys Of Neptune

By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) March 10, 2010 5:23 pm
If much of Valleys Of Neptune sounds familiar, it is. Although it's comprised of previously unreleased studio recordings that had been carefully hidden away by the Hendrix family, many versions of these songs — particularly live recordings — have been widely available for some time. Still, when it comes to mining a dead star's leftovers one...

The Jimi Hendrix Experience recorded their cover of Bob Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower" on this day in 1968. Michael Goldstein, a publicist who worked for Dylan's manager, Albert Grossman, had given Hendrix a tape of Dylan's song, and Hendrix wanted to record a version of the song. Dylan's original appeared on 1967's John Wesley...
