Jaimoe Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 His best guitar solos combined with passionate and appropriatly angry lyrics: Machine gun Tearing my body all apart Machine gun, yeah Tearing my body all apart Evil man make me kill ya Evil man make you kill me Evil man make me kill you Even though we’re only families apart Well I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber (you know what I mean) Hey! and your bullets keep knocking me down Hey, I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber now Yeah, but you still blast me down to the ground The same way you shoot me down, baby You’ll be going just the same Three times the pain, And your own self to blame Hey, machine gun I ain’t afraid of your mess no more, babe I ain’t afraid no more After a while, your, your cheap talk don’t even cause me pain, So let your bullets fly like rain ’cause I know all the time you’re wrong baby And you’ll be going just the same Yeah, machine gun Tearing my family apart Yeah, yeah, alright Tearing my family apart (don’t you shoot him down) (he’s ’bout to leave here) (don’t you shoot him down) (he’s got to stay here) (he ain’t going nowhere) (he’s been shot down to the ground) (oh where he can’t survive, no, no) Yeah, that’s what we don’t wanna hear anymore, alright? (no bullets) At least here, huh huh (no guns, no bombs) Huh huh (no nothin’, just let’s all live and live) (you know, instead of killin’) May this be Love or just Confusion born out of Frustration wracked Feelings - of not Being able to Make true physical Love to the Universal gypsy queen True, free expressed music Darling guitar please Rest. amen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Thats my favourite album next to... [color:"red"] Nine to the Universe currently playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 I don't have Nine To The Universe, but I want it. It may be a little pricey, but this is phenomenal. Jimi just gets better and better evey year: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 I can make you a copy Jaimoe. The album has been out of print since the late 80's,there was a petition to have it re-released awhile back but nothing has come of it so far. Its defiantley a sign of where Jimi was going with his music,its the jazz album.Superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Thanks Greg. If you find the box-set too pricey, I just got a new computer with a burner and I could make a copy for you. I usually don't like burning albums ( I like to buy ), but the box as I've said is pricey. Is Nine To The Universe a part of these sessions included on this official bootleg? Listen to samples here. I must have this record: http://www.daggerrecords.com/disc3music.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 I don't think it is,no tracks I can see on it from Nine to the universe.I actually am getting the box set soon,I was looking at it yesterday at Cheapies in Hamilton here,can't recall the price but I definatley am going to grab it.Thanks though.Here's a good review (although short) of the album,pretty much hits it right on. http://www.musthear.com/reviews/ninetotheuniverse.html The album that demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt why Jimi Hendrix still reigns supreme as the God of Guitar. Jimi takes no vocals on any of the six tracks, preferring instead to let his guitar cry and sing. This is a brilliant example of Jimi's fluid improvisational genius. He playing is ratcheted up another notch in the fertile jam-session setting of these astounding recordings, which showcase his creative energy and virtuosity. We are able to hear Hendrix thinking aloud, and he consistently astounds the listener with the force of his ideas. He pairs up on one track with legendary jazz organist Larry Young (who played with Miles Davis on Bitches Brew), creating a jazz-rock masterpiece that outshines in intensity anything recorded by latter day guitar heroes. The electrifying interplay that he and Young achieve leaves one wondering what kind of music Jimi could have made with Miles Davis, had he not died just one week before they were scheduled to record together in a London studio. This session hints strongly at one of the many possible directions Jimi's music was headed prior to his tragic death in September 1970. This long out-of-print masterpiece deserves to be immediately re-released. Write to your local congressman.--John Ballon (email) [color:"red"] Nine to the Universe Tracks:1.

Jaimoe Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Dave Holland and Larry Young? I wish even more than ever that Jimi lived longer, at least for another couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyB Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Dave Holland and Larry Young? I wish even more than ever that Jimi lived longer, at least for another couple of years. Ah, what could have been? Could you imagine if Jimi was still alive today? He'd still be blowing people away with his guitar and soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
