First show on the return, was pretty lackluster. So much dead time, so many awkward pauses, the content was in essence just a drag to listen to. Oh and the constant interruption of the guest whom is quite a character when he gets to get going with what he is trying to say, that was majorly disappointing. I still love SotG tho, and I am thrilled that it is back in action. Hope next week delivers a smoother ride. | ||

And it actually seems your interpretation is different from the guy I was responding to. You seem to think it was Vietnam related, maybe anti war? The guy I quoted said 'the bombings of various countries which the US partakes in around the globe' which doesn't sound anything like he was referring to Vietnam. Oh and also for future reference, a youtube video of the song we are already talking about is not a source to back up a statement about the song.... | ||

top players doesn't always make for a good guest on a talk show. Hope to see Geoff or Gretorp back as a guests, always interesting to listen to. Would also love to see more TL people like HotBid and Kennigit on, I mean someone has to represent the purest form of ESPORTS. | ||

Before, the pillars obviously knew a ton about the foreign scene, but not as much about Korea. Now all bases are covered. Good point | ||

I didn't realize you were aware of the performance. I thought you were genuinely interested in where it was from. My bad. | ||

I find it odd that you are so intent on disproving a fairly common interpretation of this song. Sure, I am not aware of any official message from Hendrix regarding the meaning of the various non-melodic inclusions to his rendition, and it is conceivable that he simply wanted to spice it up, as it were. However, his alterations are specifically non-melodic, and of a different kind than the alterations he would do to his other material live; ie., melodic solos and jams. In addition, you have to take into account Hendrix' political outset and the arena where this piece was played. But if it makes you happy, you can choose to interpret it another way. | ||

His brilliant humour is well known, he's got a great analytical mind when it comes to the game (as seen by anyone who got to see his casting at DH or HSC3). And its nice to have a terran on the show. Last one was Gretorp, ages ago I think. Very much agree with this idea | ||

He said he would welcome the opportunity to be on the show if they asked, so I guess that's up to JP lol, but I'd enjoy it a lot too. | ||

My point is, there are a ton of theories as to what it meant or if it meant anything special at all as you just agreed to. I am not trying to disprove anything, it would be completely impossible for me to do so as Hendrix never said what his intentions or meaning was. However, I still have no idea what your personal opinion on the meaning is. You refer to the most common meaning, which I assume is related to the war in Vietnam. Your first post however said "The one where the guitar noises are supposed to represent the bombings of various countries which the US partakes in around the globe." So I either am failing at correlating what you said to Vietnam or you meant something else. | ||
