It has all the hallmarks of a classic hoax, but damn! that sure sounds like Jimi.
Your take?
Have to agree on the “sounds like”, and whoever made it went to school on the Woodstock recording of The Star Spangled Banner. And whoever made it had some serious-ass tube setup and a fair bit of control. But I have to wonder how Hendrix would have come to learn the Welsh National Anthem. Was he a sight reader? This sounds like it was recorded by someone familiar with the tune.
Or perhaps Jimi was in the midst of a secret project: “National Anthems of The World, Distorted Almost Past Recognition”.
When I was in Wales a black man was on TV speaking Welsh. He was some sort of politician. Not something you see in the states.
It wouldn’t surprise me if he could sight-read.
I’ve always loved that anthem and would like to believe that it’s the kind of tune that would’ve ‘caught his ear’.
But that’s probably just me.
Probably just a coal-miner, didn’t you watch Ali G?
Not a big Ali G fan. I’m glad I downloaded Borat. I would have probably walked out of a theater.
Haha!
Cool Cymru!
I thought you might like it.
I just dont feel anything of Jimi in this.
It’s pretty good, but I really don’t think it’s Jimi Hendrix.
It’s got some of his techniques(overexagurated sometimes), but doesn’t have his feel. I really don’t think that Jimi Hendrix recorded it.
I’ve got absolutely no objective evidence to back my opinion, so there you go. I just believe that it’s a hoax.
Beat me to it.
Yay for not-Jimi!
