The Fabulous Thunderbirds were very boring live. Might as well have been mannequins with speakers in their stomachs.

I saw them open for Stevie Ray Vaughan. They weren't bad, I suppose. Of course, anyone playing opposite SRV would be a pale comparison, anyway. Jimmy did come out and do a few tunes with his baby brother, though.

I miss Stevie Ray :(

Same thing here. I saw Kenny Wayne Shepard open for the Stones. It was sad. Of course they were playing the Edward Jones Dome, and I think they didn't have the equipment or stage presence to do a good job.

Kenny Wayne Shepard. . . I think they didn't have the equipment or stage presence to do a good job.

Hey, Windy - what year did they tour with the Stones? I saw them at a tiny club and they were rockin'!

I don't like Hendrix live. He goes for speed rather than just play like he usually does, and becomes sloppy, and he's not a great singer. Also, he was probably taking LSD before going onstage

Posted

yes probably, he could have been taking it while actually onstage. There are those rumors about soaking his headband in LSD, and then cutting up his eyebrows, and letting it seep into his bloodstream.

Whew! Was that a good save or what!

I agree with Batman. I don't like Jimi Live. I mean, I would still want to be there, but he puts so much distortion in it, You can barely make it out. And he always has his eyes closed so he misses sometimes.

He still wouldn't be the worst live.

I agree with both of you, Jimi live is quite irritating for me, though I was a Hendrix fan in the 70s and I saw plenty of movies of him live. I also liked very much King Crimson but when I went to their concert I was wishing they´d finish asap... they were so boring! And a surprise for me, Dire Straits, my favorite band by then (1980) did a never-ending concert in Madrid, Spain. Extremely boring too. I saw them another time and I must say they I prefer their songs on the album, comfortably laying on my couch.

Is it possible to soak a headband in LSD? I mean, do you grab a bucket of LSD and dunk your headband in it?

If so, wouldn't it just soak into your pores? What would the need be in cutting yourself?

Just being literal for a moment. :jester:

If he absorbed heroin into his head, he would fall asleep surely, after a short period of not really caring what he played.

If he absorbed an uncontrollable quantity of LSD into his head, he would at best not be able to think straight for more than a split second at a time then fall over, and at worst go into such a state of meltdown that his brain would overload, his organs would shut down and he would die a horrible death.

Urban myths, methinks.

Now, a lager-soaked headband would be a different matter. He would almost certainly survive this with nothing worse than a smelly head.

Batman, that's physically impossible to do. Where ever you heard that, is lieing their/it's a** off. When you're bleeding there's no way it could seek in, because your body is trying to PUSH OUT substances.

Come to think of it, its the same guy who told me today that Freddie Mercury had to have 3 gallons of semen pumped from his stomach. He seems uneducated in music, but I also saw the Hendrix thing in Rolling Stone. I guess you are right about the bleeding thing though.

Actually, it is possible to absorb LSD into blood, that's one of the more common ways of doing it, but not on an open sore. It needs to be injected into the vein line in order to tranquil the brain cells & nervous system.

I agree with Diggs about using Heroin on stage, seems rather unlikely.

What human has a 3 gallon stomach? Mr Mercury may have enjoyed the odd toke on the pink spliff, but could not have held that much, surely. Unless of course it was a career total!
