Randy Hansen: Hendrix Tribute - Manic Depression

This performance of "Manic Depression" is from a 1994 German TV appearance, featuring Horst Stachelhaus on bass and Manni van Bohr on drums.

This guy is no mere Hendrix tribute. He is something else. I love it when he jams his guitar right up into the cameraman's camera! WTF??? Classic. If Jimi were reincarnated and saw this, he'd be blown away.

[@ziggylayneable]

I am a guitar player. That was the best Hendrix tribute I have ever seen in my life

[@rizreid8670]

I don't recall how many times I've seen Randy but I've been seeing him/them since at least the early 80's-prob'ly late 70's- and won't stop before one of us dies. He is FAN-TASTIC!!!

[@andrealoo3895]

Never enjoyed cover bands, whatever you want to call them....but this changes my mind...I think he is really exceptional....along with the band members....

[@joedefilippo2521]

This was shot in the 80's. Saw him 5 times in the 80s. High energy, hendrix speed and distortion along with great vocals

[@Rocket39Smoke14]

Saw Randy twice. Once in San Diego and the other in Seattle. Both were epic performances.

[@thecore6901]

HE TAKES HENDRIX INTERPRETATIONS THE FARTHEST AND THE BEST FROM ANY ONE ALIVE...RIGHT ON MAN

[@jeffreyhinkel3490]

Saw Randy open for Ritchie Blackmore and Rainbow once .. They opened with this song and Purple smoke being blown onto the stage from both sides . Hansen came out of the purple smoke in a wall of feedback . All you could see at first was the neck of the guitar ...then it was on !

[@terrypursley6567]

Hendrix was a advance soul

[@lennyluzitano8920]

FANTASTIC RANDY HANSEN...WOW...

[@michelpognante3934]

Sa façon d'écraser sa strat avec le pied , du pur Jimi Hendrix ! Merci Mr Randy

[@PeterSchroder]

[@gerardovargas9093]

In every rock concept, Randy gets The real Essence of psychedelic rock to The limits, he's Unique.

[@lerondthierry3505]

[@naderiranfar]

[@rastarevolution5207]

[@yeti1002]

This is 1000 xxx better than SRV , Gary Moore . Mr. Hansen knocked this tune out of the park , squeezed every note possible from that guitar . This is how you pay tribute to the legend JH . 👍❤️🙏

[@jeffreydeuitch2146]

Wow! Anyone doing music like that today,

[@gggg-xp2rv]

Hendrix in the MIRROR !

[@RadioUgly]

That was just GREAT!

[@sk8tm11]

Randy Hansen is CRAZY!!!!!!! (in a good way btw)

[@uwelucas8190]

Love the Show 👍👍👍

[@BASS4HIREJAXFL]

always amazing!

[@massapower]

HOLY SHIT !!!

[@Doulos367]

Dude is legit!

[@realitywakeupslap]

Wow now that's the spirit!

[@hud5645]

Hansen's sound is more "current." He achieves hendrix distortion in essence because it sounds "sharp" and crazy, but the sound quality is different, because Hansen can't help but occupy the modern recording to capture his guitar feats as well; everything changes, because the sound quality affects the sharpness with which the hearer understands the song. Hendrix not only considered his pedals to achieve the sound he wanted to have, but also knew that sound quality affected, So he adapted to the sound quality to apply the distortion as he wanted it to be. Besides this, I don't think Hansen has the original pedals at his disposal. Hansen is the best. 🎸🔥 🙂

[@Happy-Me.]

How did the guitar stay in tune!!

[@joshuaelie2888]

Right!

[@ziggylayneable]

God this is taking so long as two years to answer your question but I'll tell you how we keep it in tune. Graphite pencils on the nut... daily upkeep on that bridge... and it's at least an hour and a half a day of work to keep the guitar in good condition when you're playing it this hard every night

[@sixstringcity3931]

That one has a Floyd Rose tremolo & locking nut

[@annetteryan5110]

Stunned!!!! Better than Hendrix ever played/sang it ...or could play/sing it!!! Wtf.. Even his showmanship blows Hendrix away.. as near perfect of a performance as you can get! Damn...he out-Jimmy'd.. Jimmy!!

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

Nope. He is clearly taking elements from live Hendrix performance. You just haven't heard them.

[@wallsmartsme]

People talk about guitar playing technique. Randy Hansen puts Eddie Van Halen to shame and Randy glorifies the Jimmy Hendrix experience. Great video.

[@DuoJet63]

Great players with different styles and techniques.

[@yoyohomey]

THIS IS AS CLOSE AS IT GETS TO JAMES MARSHALL

[@terrypursley6567]

Crazy is good in rock

[@ronfrey6639]

That was the cats meow... do you have this entire show ?

[@sixstringcity3931]

Hendrix would have loved the Floyd Rose trem

[@terrypursley6567]

Rock till the grave

[@afuegoomusic1485]

Only Jimi could play like Jimi and guess what Randy is Jimi.

[@ricardorotdreeguz40]

Absolutely the finest and most amazing guitar mastery , showmanship to date any where, any time. I dare say, better than Mr Jimi himself. . Thank you Randy

[@dougy1270]

Does anyone have the tab for solo there's a few bits I can't get quite right even though I've been bootin ma axe to shit all neet man

[@brucebooher2288]

Looks like that guitar isn't the only equipment that needs a strap.

[@georgeoaks9658]

Mitch Mitchell on drums???

[@Prepare-se.]

george oaks a zombie mitch because this drummer seems tô be dead

[@eileenscovitch7695]

[@dutchguyfull123]

Ah yeah the crack era of jimi

[@AstralMan618]

Better than Hendrix, but has more experience,

[@drumlover69]

I don't know if you are being serious but he is not better than Jimi.

[@grandthemes5972]

Good...but not better then king Hendricks

[@oldguy9078]

Damn man, turn that damn guitar down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheMonolake]

[@joedefilippo2521]

This was shot in the 80s, i saw him 5 times in the 80s, absolute energy, hendrix speed and poetic distortion with great vocals
