Do people agree with Mike, is this the best solo ever?
As an activist against the war, this solo expresses everything in it. Without saying alot. There are few words, I think the tones of the guitar, the sounds, the screeching, express the confusion many youngsters had about the vietnam war.
Now three years into iraq this song still has power. It expresses my anger, confusion and just chaos reguarding iraq. The fact that kids are getting killed in iraq on both sides, the fact that 2,000 plus soldiers have died and upwards of 500,000 iraqis are now dead.
Amazingly powerful song, and the solo is just as powerful. In the solo alone hendrix expresses all I feel about the war and the people who run it.

It depends on the person, me? I could listen to Band of Gypsys till the wax melts through on the needle. Hendrix could tell a story with the sounds he could make with his guitar. It's a great and powerful song, I think Isabella goes along with it because he said that songs about a soldier thinking about his lady at home but hugs a machine gun instead. It's so difficult for me to take one song and say best solo. For me the entire collection of work from Hendrix is so ground breaking it all falls into best solo ever category. It was so amazing he literally changed the way rock/blues all electric guitar really has been performed since.
