Electric ladyland is the absolute pinnacle of humanity captured onto tape And it’s also the main reason why the 60s was the most important time for recorded music There are many amazing records that have been made throughout history but electric ladyland is the absolute cream of the crop I don’t believe their is such a thing as the best of all time with the exception of this album

[@patrickfoster4586]

I've always maintained that Electric Ladyland was the greatest/most important recording of the 20th century in terms of songwriting, arrangement, performances engineering, production and just sheer artistry etc. Jimi was on the rise of his peak creativity at the time of recording EL and certainly laid down some of the most iconic Hendrix tunes we were able to hear. Just a great album from start to finish. Cheers P[>

[@markr.devereux2713]

EDDIE VAN HALEN was a virtuoso in his era but not on the level of jimi. Jimi spoke to the 60s generation in his guitar playing and through his soul. It was a real connection I was there and experienced this unusually deep spiritual direction rock albums were going . It fueled the age of aquarius. And here comes jimi hendrix a special soul with destiny written all over him . He was the full package talent image mystique a bearer of incredible soundscapes never before possible He truly eclipsed anybody else on the scene. If you were there you probably know what I mean. Even the straights the middle class types like my parents saw that he radiated an energy . He go respect because he put out great records. He was an unlikely candidate for woodstock generation icon. He connected with the power or portals opening up at that stage of the sixties. This was no average guitar player . He channeled a new colorful amplified psychedelic guitar rock. How he was able to step up and become the artist he became is hard to get your head around. I guess to be given so much talent much is required in return. He burned himself out past the breaking point and still sustained creativity right up until the end.

[@jayquan1165]

This interviewer has a room temperature IQ. He does not build and develop the interviewee's response, he just drops the ball and goes back to reading from his itemized list of pre-written questions. Reminds me of the Beatles interviews "what's your favorite color?"

Yeah, I also like when he says he is big guitar guy, then proceeds to show us he knows nothing about a guitar. Then he tells Mr. Kramer to make sure he sees the Queen movie somewhere with a good sound system. Lmao!

[@Voodoo66Chile]

I've noticed this so much with radio DJs interviewing guest, they thrive off of hearing their own voice and seem to go into immediate withdrawals if more than a minute goes by without them speaking. A few months ago Robby Krieger was on a radio show and I swear the DJ didn't allow him to speak more than a few words, soon as he'd go into a great story the DJ would just interrupt and inject her own nonsense (mostly unrelated) and ruined so many great opportunities to hear Robby's stories and or replies. It made me realize that it must take someone that absolutely loves the sound of their own voice to be a radio DJ, I mean it makes perfect sense.

I was fortunate enough to tour the Electric Lady studio just after John Kennedy Jr. died in his plane crash. The artwork that graces the walls in that place is pure Jimi- like the album artwork of Axis and Ladyland. No one was recording at the time and it was so cool to have access to the whole place. It was so easy to imagine being there on a night Jimi was recording with all the other musicians hanging out… .

[@mr.g1758]

In 1986 I went there and door was open. I walked in and looked around before someone came up and said the public wasn't allowed there. I went down the street to a record store and told the guy behind the table I'd just come back from the recording studio. He was amazed, saying he'd worked at that store for ten yrs and had never gotten in.

[@heentlasaa9974]

Author Charles Cross wrote the most in Depth Book on Jimi Hendrix Titled "Room full of Mirrors." He Researched Family, Friends, Musicians, Guitar Players, Groups Hendrix played with, Record producers and Sound Engineers like Eddie Kramer. Jimi was particular about Guitar Set Ups having encountered Intonation problems from off the Rack Guitars. Jimi would Flip Right Handed Stratocasters Upside Down, Switch the Saddles on The Bridge so the 6th Saddle was on Top not Bottom, Remove the Right Handed Nut at the Headstock and put on a Left Handed Nut so The.Fat 6th String was on Top not Bottom. Jimi would also File the Now Top Part of the Frets that used to be the Bottom. He also had an Electronic Tech Modifying his off the Shelf Pedals and Servicing his Marshall Amps.

[@morrisalanisette9067]

"You got to tell the children the truth they don't need a whole lot of lies. Because one of these days, baby, they'll be running things. So when you give them love you better give it right" Jimi Hendrix Those who love spread truth. Those who hate spread lies. Those who hate and created a world swimming in a sea of lies murdered the body but they can’t kill the spirit of Jimi’s message and love that lives on within many forever. The haters who murder rock stars are the same haters who murder kings and presidents. It's an unnatural thing to be a Rock star and one of many illusions presented to the duped masses as “success”. Rock stars don't make themselves famous they are made famous quickly and unnaturally. And in return for being made famous they are under obligation, knowingly or unknowingly, to cooperate with those who made them famous. And those who made them famous believe that they have the right to make them even more famous by murdering them if they don't cooperate. True success is to see what they don’t want you to see and to learn what they don’t want you to know before you pass.

Eddie Kramer is a real authentic professional who loved Jimi Hendrix, and helped nurture and develop his talent and musical production. Then the icing, was when he influenced Jimi to build a then, ultra fine Recording Studio in preference to a Night Club. A night club would yield money hinged on season and crowd, but a recording plant accepts all kinds of music professionals or amateurs, and the fundamental is, if you hire the studio, you pay, so long as it is in business.

Guys as someone who actually knows the parties involved the truth is all any engineer had to do is set up a mic and press record for both Hendrix and Zeppelin. The magic came from them..... not the engineer no matter who recorded them. You’d hear it even if you recorded them on a cassette recorder. Don’t fool yourselves.

Joe Cerisano you’re only showing your own ignorance of what Eddie Kramer did with that comment. Of course Hendrix and Zeppelin were huge musical talents, but when it came to getting the sounds they heard in their heads onto tape, Eddie was the guy with the technical know-how. He pioneered a lot of studio techniques and helped those guys get the crazy sound effects that had never been done before.

@@joecerisano6874 oh yeah that's why the album sounds so different than live. Eddie used to say I added "phase". There were some songs that Hendrix would never do live and I know the reason. You can't bullshit a bullshitter. The sanctimonious horseshit has got to go. Next thing you'll tell me is you're Roger Mayer.

[@joecerisano6874]

One question..... have you ever personally worked with Kramer??

[@stlrockn]

Watching this in 2024. Whatever happened to the Allman Brothers documentary John talked about?

I bought the new "Are You Experienced" package and they are really messing around with it, hearing someone else harmonizing with Jimi. I saw the Jimi Hendrix Experience and was listening to his albums on headphones when they came out. I could be telling you more about Jimi Hendrix and how his recordings happened more than anything this estate employee will. Here's one for you, an example of how Jimi was used as part of the British Invasion. When the C.I.A. asked Magnavox to build the worlds' first two twelve-track tape recorders, they gave one to Jimi Hendrix for Electric Ladyland. Jimi Hendrix always played his own bass in the studio. Jimi saw the wetness from the underground river and had a second concrete floor with a sump pump built. He always riffed of the aquatic sounds he got as being the result of that. He also had a solid concrete piece built to hang from the ceiling to reflect sound down, getting a truly heavy sound. Jimi used a Stratocaster because it was the first instrument built in human history that had individual, two-way adjustable bridges, plugging it into an oscilloscope to tune it scientifically, why it worked so better with effects and recording. I better stop typing.
