_Laurie_ Posted March 12, 2005 Report Posted March 12, 2005 I heard a cover of the song Hey Joe today, it was live, and it didnt sound like jimi singing it...does anyone know who else did this song?...let me know...thanks
_jr_ Posted March 12, 2005 Report Posted March 12, 2005 Laurie, I don't know much about today's music, but I think a band called Offspring covered that one.
Earth-Angel Posted March 12, 2005 Report Posted March 12, 2005 Offspring, Nick Cave and Seal are some of the better known artists that have covered this song.
DiggsUK Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 I might have to check out the Nick Cave version. I can imagine him at his piano, eyes closed, head bowed and greased fop bobbing steadily singing: '....wuuuuur uuuu goiiin wid dat guuuuun in yuuuur handdd' Regards
InsaneTim Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 Actually Jimi's version is a cover. This was originally recorded by an LA band called The Leaves in 1965. PS If anyone can find that original recording I'd be interested in hearing it.
_Laurie_ Posted March 13, 2005 Author Report Posted March 13, 2005 led stones that's it!...what i heard sounded like an old version...i didnt think it was a newer cover.....thanks so much! they played it on the classic rock station that i just started listening to lately...they play more of the obscure stuff that the other classic rock stations usually dont play...i dont know how you would get ahold of it, maybe a radio station would help you out if you called them, let me know if you do....thanks again!
_jr_ Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 What is this rock station, and can I listen to it on my computer? I am sick of 102.9 out of Philly. You can only hear the same 200 songs over and over so many times. I'll tell you, I never had a problem with David Bowie until I heard Rebel Rebel, Diamond Dogs and Suffragette City about 7,000 times. Most classic rock stations instill a distatse for some music, simply because they play it all the time.
_Laurie_ Posted March 13, 2005 Author Report Posted March 13, 2005 im not sure if you can get it on line....i live in western ny and the station is out of buffalo new york...im quite aways from buffalo, but it comes in good...it's called 107.7 the lake.....they have a website, im not sure if you can get it on line, but check it out...i wrote to the station because the old classic rock station i used to listen to, same old classics over and over...i hear ya on that...with ours it's oh my god how many times do i need to hear sweet home alabama, stairway to heaven, freebird, all great songs, but come on they've been on the air since the 70's and everyone has these songs anyways! this is a great station, i love it!

Ok, I can list many songs at 10,000 times ::
Crazy Don Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 That's why I never really listen to Rock 105 in St. Albans, WV, anymore. When Rush's "Tom Sawyer" came out, they played it a lot. It's still played to death today?
RonJonSurfer Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 Roy Buchanan has a great version of Hey Joe.
_Laurie_ Posted March 13, 2005 Author Report Posted March 13, 2005 thanks ron...i just read in songfacts that jimi heard the Tim Rose version also...ive never heard of him...but it might of been him also that i heard, i dont know, im thinking maybe the leaves too...it was extremley slow though, but the guitar was awesome, but it wasnt jimi singing it. i never realized how much background this song actually had....it's pretty interesting actually....looks like we got a thread going on jimi! that's cool
_Laurie_ Posted March 13, 2005 Author Report Posted March 13, 2005 ok im just gonna call the radio station tomorrow and ask, then i'll let you guys know... :guitar:
edna Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 I founf this site where you can get all kind of info about "hey Joe"... it´s awesome... www.heyjoe.org. I couldn´t open the amg´s site Bluesboy posted (mac troubles...)...
Malakin Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 Robert Plant did a pretty trippy version on his last album, Dreamland, too, that was really good.. It was so different it took a few listens to 'get it' for me, but now I absolutely love it.
bazooka Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 What is this rock station, and can I listen to it on my computer? jr, check out the classic rock underground side of www.3wk.com for a great mixed bag of "album cuts".
Uncle Joe Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 NOTE You know, it wasn't really a gun. I was just happy to see ya.
edna Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 Unky, he had the gun in his "hand", not in his pocket...
