In the Science Fiction Hall of Fame, the museum pays homage to the most respected of science fiction practitioners-writers, artists, publishers and filmmakers.
It was the Fourteen Songs For Greg Sage and the Wipers that exposed me to their music. I actually wish it was living in the Portland area or going to the Satrycon.
I remember when this video had been uploaded, I saw it when it was under 15k views and it's still one the best videos on YT. I've always wondered if Noel played them wrong notes as a joke, frustrating the onlookers....lol
Linda Keith arranged the whole thing from getting Hendrix to play Hey Joe after convincing Chas Chandler to attend what was really a showcase because Linda Keith knew, or heard that Chas Chandler wanted to record Hey Joe after he lost out on the royalties Alan Price received from another U.S. folksong, House Of The Rising Sun; Chas Chandler walking out of that session believing it was a waste of time, allowing Alan Price to apply writing credit with his own name to a traditional song resulting in a lot of dollars in Price's own pocket, enough to quit The Animals and hang out with Bob Dylan. This illustrates a character flaw revisited during the Electric Ladyland sessions when Chas Chandler walked out impatient within what he claimed the lack of immediacy and spontaneity he wanted to repeat similar to what was obtained in the production, in his mind, Axis Bold As Love; the finished master of which was left in a taxi by Hendrix and lost resulting in (or enabled) however you care to consider the remixing, enters the possibility of differences between Chandler and Hendrix in engineering that began that early, eventually paving the way for Eddie Kramer who for years proved himself steady, patient and communicative enough to produce, for instance, 1983... A Merman I Should Turn To Be in a matter of hours with Hendrix by his side, something absolutely beyond anything Chas Chandler had ever or could ever imagine.
My absolute favorite Jimi Hendrix story. There is a plethora of better stories, like Bill Graham at the Fillmore East, or riding to Woodstock with Neil Young in a stolen pickup. But the way Chris tells his story is The best. I know the story by heart but I still love listening to him tell it. Oh there is another just as good, maybe better. Billy Gibbons.
.. first time ive heard this story.. great story..so down to earth and humourous..one thing i dont understand is ...if they were very low on money why was chris changing strings every night? I know he has big standards ..but.. maybe every 2nd night ?
God I miss these guys all being together, throw in Jon and Rick here, and you've got the Fragile, Close to The Edge band, take away Rick add Patrick Moraz, the Relayer band, take away Jon and Rick add Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes the Drama band, take away Steve and Rick add Tony Kaye and Trevor Rabin, the 90125 Big Generator band, what a fantastic group of musicians now missing a wonderful irreplaceable rythme section, Alan and Chris RIP

I can totally see why he hated being famous, despite all the money making music is for your own fun, not as a job! Being forced to play the same songs in many ways means faking it forever with no escape. The story of new guitar to make new songs makes complete sense and is touching, like a kid with new toy. This was grunge, men! Does not justify Kurt's solution, but could have ended in a different way.
Hard to believe but that down to earth funny guy that looks like a day laborer is one of the greatest musicians of the last fifty years. Could you imagine if he got to PLAY with Hendrix? Mind blowing.
. Krist is correct that Kurt was at times a funny bunny and a blast BUT he was also a very moody, depressed person. It is very Typical for an outgoing person who is naturally quick and gifted to act that way in public but if depressed,clinically as Kurt was for most of his life, they become very sullen and hide themselves away in private. It is also what made his art great. Every line is most of his songs are a contradiction. If I had to use one word to describe Kurt it would be Contradictory. I love him for it though! RIP sweet boy.
