jimi hendrix...
adam.
just on a totally unrelated note to everything here, i went out to dinner
and coffee last night. as i went into the coffee place to settle my bill,
i perked up to the music being played (as i often do, even when i'm
expecting music i won't like). i heard jimi hendrix's rendition of the
star spangled banner again for the first time.
if you have not heard this one recently, i suggest you look it up. it was
amazing, from a noise standpoint. he was making sounds come out of that
guitar that i'd never before noticed and have certainly never heard
before. bury the melody of the song deeper into it, to add just a ghost
of structure to it, and you've a got one damn good noise piece. from only
a guitar...it blew me away. has anyone else ever noticed this aspect of
this rendition of the national anthem.
anyway, just wanted to share. hendrix was making noise in the sixties,
before merzbow was even a gleam in his father's no doubt drunken eye.

Hey, loads of folk were making noise back then - they wre usually of an
academic or jazz background, though. Cage, Stockhausen, Nihilist Spasm, AMM, a
bunch of academic oddballs whose names I forget (bought an album by some tape
experimantalists circa 1959 at a library sale and it was as fucked as anything
NWW ever did in the collage/chaos field).
Also: Merzbow would have been in his teens at the time - it's been previously
established here that the guy's a fogey ;-) .

Either way,they both fucking rock.
I have the vinyl copy w/ the studio ver. and have played it during
my show a few times.And yes it's damn good from the "noise" point
of view,though obviously not akin to the sound of the INCAPACITANTS et al.
They do each work from the same feelings I think.

When and where was a studio version of this released? Every appearance of
the song I've ever seen has been the Woodstock version.
