'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.

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

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 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.

I'll go ahead and have a heart attack right now.

Excuse me.

everyone who is saying there would be no electric guitar without jimi hendrix is wrong. he did revolutionize the way people play the electric guitar, but there was several others who influenced the uses of the electric guitar. tons others.

I'm with you guys.

Checked.

[drummerdawg77]

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!

Hendrix > Frusciante, theres no doubt.

What? When does the time it surfaced have to do with the quality of it?

If it was any good he'd have remembered sooner...

[HeavenlyVirus]

why do these death black guys (hendrix, tupac) have the amazing ability to release albums after they die? I want this power.

[slpknt21]

why the hell was hendrix working with stephen stills???

[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.

[worton]

omg! wow thats class,

do i see a trip to antique roadshow coming on?

[Darkshage]

Theres allready some of the songs in yotuube go chek em out

[areese82]

A little? I think jimi hendrix is the most over rated guitarist i've ever heard of, he's sloppy and in my opinion isn't at all as talented as people made out. Don't get me wrong, i like his music, and i think he DID/DOES [whatever] have talent, but not as much as they say.

[Multiplayerjon]

lol i could see a infomercal on this on PBS... like blind faith... but they didn't have a lost album

[SurfinWithSatch]

I love how within the first 7 posts someone had already started a "x is better than x" war. Can't you people just be pleased that some new art from a great and long since dead musician has been discovered. This is great for music as a whole, not just hardcore Hendrix fans.

[xTheVulcan]

haha okay, now we find it. They need to release it soon cuz that's now become the first album to buy on my list.

[jshwak]

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...

[kramer4ever]

where is the lost guns n roses album??!

[9badarv]

is this Jimi Hendrix Experience or Band of Gypsy? either way, it probably kicks ass

[randyaintdead82]

soadguitarfan :
everybody just calm down. we all know that Patrick Stump of fall out boy is the best guitarist. let's see hendrix or frusciante make those killer pop riffs


lol
Plugs44 :
Hah, I wonder if this is the ONLY thing he forgot about? I can see it now...

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

[-heartbreaker-]

holy shit, actual news!

I'm amazed as to how everyone involved completely forgot.
meh. that's what drugs'll do to yah kids!

[JudasTheGuide]

I know nobody reads comments this far down the list, but this is amazing news. I often wonder what the world of music would have been like if Jimi was still with us today.
