I`m a big SRV fan but I have to agree with you on this song. I like the way Hendrix did it but SRV gave it his own touch and that made it unique in its own way.

I like both, but yeah, I like Jimi's better.

Love SRV's twangy tone and cutting style in his version!

I've never compared one to the other. I'm just able to appreciate each artists rendition for what it is....awesome. 8)

I like SRV and Double Trouble's version best because they didn't even know they were being recorded. They were just warming up in the studio when the Sound Man rolled tape withough telling them. Chris Layton was still tuning his drums on that track.

As far as which one is best for listening to it depends. On the car Radio I'd rather listen to Hendrix, in the Bar palying pool, I'd rather listen to Stevie.

For me, Jimi's version. It's a lot like watching part 2 of a movie, and the main actor is different in the 2nd. Its just not the same.
However, I do appreciate SRV's version as well. He has his own style and I, on the other hand, would do a terrible rendition!!!

I think I like SRV's version slightly better. I love both of them though. And both versions are 100 times better then my version. :lol:

Sure, its Jimi's song, but Stevie's version actually makes the song. Just my opinion.

I think they're both great. They both sound like themselves and stevie does a great tribute to hendrix. Imo nothing beats the original, but there is such a thing as really good covers, and stevie's just happens to be one of them.
