Roy Buchanan - Hey Joe

Comments on 'Roy Buchanan - Hey Joe'

1. the cops killed him , he didnt commit anything
2. I've been listening to Roy, since the 70's, he's a HUGE influnce on my playing, but you can't really hear it in my playing... (some times). .. maybe cause i have too many influences... Great vid THANKS strat
3. same here!
4. neither of them was the original
5. Thanks for posting, this is great...the most underrated guitarist, so sad. Roy's version always gives me goosebumps..it's downright scary , so deliberate, passionate.
6. Poor Roy didnt drink himself to death.....He committed suicide in jail, I believe.
7. Who was first with Hey Joe Roy or hendriks I think roy does a better job of it
8. roy buchanan rules! i would cut off my left foot to be able to play like him
9. It was written by Billy Roberts. Originally written as a country blues/folk song. Covered by the Leaves, the Byrds, Deep Purple, and others.. but by "the man" Jimi Hendrix, and the rest is history. Get your shit straight.
10. man they could have avoided using the augmented 9th chord (known to some as the Jimi Hendrix chord)... it is really annoying in this context!!
11. yeah i know.. my friend wrote this from my account
12. Poor Roy, drank himself to death. But man could this cat play....Play on Roy, jam on cats.
13. isnt that fucking crazy!!!
14. jimi never played this song again after he herd roy play it
15. jimi Hendrix plays bether!
16. All of his best tunes were instrumentals anyway. I do agree that he is amazing at putting his heart and soul into his playing. He was truly one of the greatest pickers around.
17. dont think im crazy, but i personally don't really like roy's playing THAT much...
18. when i die i hope i end up were ole roy boy is
19. It's a different arrangement of a song that'd already been written, but it wasn't actually written by Jimi either, it's hard to find where it actually comes from, but I'm kinda sure it's by a guy called Tim Rose originally.
20. Roy is an awesome guitarists but not much of a singer. He doesn't put nearly as much emotion into his singing as he does his guitar playing. Doesn't really need it though, his guitar does all his singing for him.
21. I know that Jimi said his fav was Billy Gibbons. I know he loved Clarence White and Terry Kath from Chicago as well. So I think that might indicate who he thought was best, other than him of course!!
22. Roy Buchanan in mind was and still is the best that have graced the music scene for generations.
23. its not a tribute to jimi, its a roy buchanan original
24. spring41686: That was a drunken haymaker of a remark. You evidently know nothing of Hendrix's playing, songwriting or discography. You must have mistaken Hendrix for Elvis....
25. hendrix never said that. while he was too muble too except the title of best guitar player, he never named who he thought WAS the best.
