I saw Joe Jackson in concert a few weeks back. He was great - seriously great. He did this song. Knocked me off my seat. Did it sincere justice. You can tell when an artist really likes something by another artist.
very interesting comments. Most of the Hendrix fans like this cover while most of what seem to be die-hard Cure fans don't. To me, I always had a respect for the Cure, but this rendition (it's a rendition, people, not a cover) raised my respect for them about 10-fold. Can you imagine being asked to do Purple Haze? What are you going to do? I say take it apart and put it back together - almost (but not really) a different song. It's got the same soul, the same spell, but technically (musically) new. Job well-done. I know it's not the Cure's usual but I always thought they were kind of stuck in a schtick.
gawd. What a lot of constipated people. Enjoy things for what they are. Relax. Yes, it was played way too much on AM radio, but relish the nice guitar work in this. And Don's voice of course.
I think I figured something out. Too many listeners are being too analytical. "It doesn't sound like the Beatles", or "it doesn't sound like Metallica". Hey, not everything Bill plays is "great". As much as I love Neil Young, there are several of his songs that don't move me. But I don't over-analyze it. Just listen, or not. That's radio. Sometimes I think some of you don't drink enough. Too many inhibitions or encumbrances. Toss a few back. Enjoy.
Bill! I haven't heard this in 30 years. Always, please, more of this
