Jason Aldean - The Truth

 

 

I love me some Jason Aldean. Ive seen him live 6 times. The early years were the best live shows when he didnt have many songs of his own and 3 guitarists...they'd just absolutely BLAST Aerosmith, Guns N Roses, etc., to fill out the set lists.

 

Right now I got a playlist of Derek Cate running. he's relatively unheard of, but has a bunch of solo accoustic stuff out that I like mellowing to every once in awhile.

Third stone from the sun- Jimi Hendrix

 

 

I love this track, I have the Experience box set this was released on. It's 9 minutes long and has the studio out takes and the overdub without any effects at the beginning. One of my all time favorites! Some other great songs off that set.

I don't know if he was so much a fan, but believed he was from somewhere else (Probably more common amongst us Leftys)

 

Listen to ""EXP"" the first track on "Axis Bold as Love".

 

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGqPzrNypzw

Anger he smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armour

Queen jealousy, envy waits behind him

Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground

 

Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted,

They quietly understand

Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready,

But wonder why the fight is on

 

But they're all bold as love, yes, they're all bold as love

Yeah, they're all bold as love

Just ask the axis

 

My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war and

Ribbons of euphoria

Orange is young, full of daring,

But very unsteady for the first go round

My yellow in this case is not so mellow

In fact I'm trying to say it's frightened like me

And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from, eh,

Giving my life to a rainbow like you

But, I'm eh , yeah, I'm bold as love

Yeah, yeah

Well I'm bold, bold as love (hear me talking, girl)

I'm bold as love

Just ask the axis (he knows everything)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

 

This song discusses many colors: "In shiny metallic purple armor; fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground." Because of Hendrix' inability to read music, he would often describe emotions (and music) in colors rather than more descriptive words. Jimi was a very emotional and colorful person, and in this song he really brought out his emotions in a wild imagery that at first glance can be easily misinterpreted.

 

The line "My Yellow is this case is Not so Mellow" is a reference to the Donovan song "Mellow Yellow" and describes Hendrix' inability to express his feelings to a former girlfriend in any conventional way. So Hendrix used colors to describe his feelings of fright, uncertainty and frustration. It's that frustration that leads him to say at the end of the song: "And all of these emotions of mine is holding me from giving my life to a Rainbow like you." (thanks, George - Louisville, KY)

 

Originally released in December of 1967 in the UK, Axis: Bold As Love was held over until mid-January 1968 in the US. The album reached #5 in the UK and #3 in the US. This is the last song on the album, used to sum it all up. (thanks, Stone - Libertyville, IL, for all above)

 

Hendrix rarely played this in concert, but he did on at least one occasion: February 28th, 1968 at the Scene Club, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. At the show, Hendrix stated that he was about to play "Bold As Love" and then improvised after the opening. Hendrix would often call his songs something other than their official titles. For example, "Fire" would be "Stand Next To Your Fire." (thanks, Mike M., New Jersey)

 

According to his bass player Noel Redding, the music was very spontaneous, but they took 27 takes to finish it. Take 21 can be heard on their 4 CD set. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

 

John Mayer covered this song on his 2006 album Continuum. Mayer was influenced by musicians of this era, especially Hendrix and Eric Clapton. As a child, after hearing the song "Little Wing" by Jimi Hendrix, Mayer decided to learn how to play the guitar. (thanks, David - Reno, NV)
