VERY Important Hendrix Lego Question

[CCDaDon]

Will the song be listed as being by "The Jimi Hendrix Experience" or just "Jimi Hendrix" If the latter I'll be dissapointed(Still buying)

[Flawless]

You certainly didn't inflate the importance.

[Boondocker]

I'm gonna put off dinner until I hear the answer to this.

[cherokeesam]

via Twitter, they've already said that "Fire" will be credited to "The Pointer Sisters."

[CCDaDon]

^LMFAO

It's fitting that the 1st post in this thread is by Flawless since the "VERY" in the title was semi-sarcastic.

[Parodygm]

If that tweet wasn't from Hendrix himself, I'm starting a hunger strike in front of the Harmonix studios.

[instantdeath999]

I actually think it is pretty important, considering Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding were huge parts of the band.

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

I will be disappointed as well. Without Redding and Mitchell, Hendrix would be 2/3 less awesome.

I'm calling for a hunger strike until we get an answer, whos with me?

Well great. There goes my hunger strike idea to get Ziggy Stardust to do a tightrope act from the HMX building to the Activision building

Temple of the Dog confirmed?! :O

[DarkPh0enix1]

does it matter? it's hendrix. the beatles game, this, queen, pearl jam and the green day exclusive is an epic smiting of the competition when it comes to fan service.

[Reaver]

Who cares, as long as well finally have Hendrix. I'm just hoping we'll get an awesome pack before years end. I really want some "Purple Haze" and "All Along the Watchtower".

[RockBandRocker]

I honestly feel that ANY songs taken from Are You Experienced?, Axis: Bold As Love & Electric Ladyland should be credited to The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

It does to people who are big fans of the band. They didn't credit The Beatles songs written by Lennon as "John Lennon" did they?

[dady5000]

This is important...there is a difference.

[scorpionspupil]

Depends if they take it from the original album, or if they take it from a Jimi Hendrix greatest hits or something. Like what happened with Janis Joplin, they took the track from her greatest hits, and credited to her instead of Big Brother and the Holding Company. Even though it was the exact same track. (funny how when you sort by decade Piece of My Heart shows up in the 60's instead of the 70's as it's listed in the song data)

I heard it was The Crazy World of Arthur Brown.

[Jdurgit]

It's only important to the anal retentive. For the rest of the free world, we don't give a rat's ass. If you decide whether or not to purchase a game because of how a song is credited, you are screwing yourself out of a great experience. No pun intended.

[LuigiHann]

The press release credits "Jimi Hendrix"

Not sure if there's ever been discrepancy between the pre-game listing and the game itself, but that's what we know

Priceless. :D

[Alvarado6411]

Well honestly, I doubt we will get it from the studio album. The album was made with 4 tracks and you saw how The Beatles also were on 4 but we had Abbey Road engineers to split up the audio so that was expensive.

We shall see...

[MisterSchulz]

Better be the Experience. The reason it's my most wanted Hendrix song is so I can play Mitch Mitchell on drums

[LuigiHann]

I think if it was a live recording they would have put "(Live)" in the press release. They always have.

[CCDaDon]

But... if it wasn't the studio and it was performed by someone other than the Experience wouldn't it be credited to the Band of Gypsies? I don't remember Jimi ever having a true solo career.

[whofan]

The Who's cover is MUCH better, maybe it'll be that one :P

Speaking of which, I am disappointed at no Who track on there, but that's a topic for another thread.

Regardless, I'm sure that HMX knows enough to make it from the proper artist credit (The Jimi Hendrix Experience)

[Xzyliac]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing as I watched thiswhole thread. Nobody is defending the Janis Joplin change.

Whatever the outcome the Hendrix estate should be defending the band's name. Not that Harmonix isn't responsible but still.

Beatles were on 2 tracks, hence the expensiveness... With 4 tracks (one for each instrument), it would be just fine to use (we all know 60's and 70's song made it in using this, or for some at least.) I'm thinking they're crediting Jimi Hendrix only because he owns the rights, which I wouldn't doubt since technically it was his band.

They have Elvis Costello without the attractions (considering it was their first album together) and Janis Joplin never had the studio version of Piece of My Heart, but Big Brother and the Holding Company did.

I mean Nirvana doesn't own the Nirvana masters. Courtney Love does.

[white-ti]

this may just be naivity on my part, but whats the difference? surely if its the same song it will have the same track no matter who is drumming it?

[Xzyliac]

Yeah but a lot of it is loyalism and fanservice. At the end of the day everyone here b*tching will buy it regardless.

For the record I side with the loyalist crowd purely on the basis that if Neversoft can do it Harmonix can do it. If it were any other way then I wouldn't care but we've seen it done. Unless a rep shows up in here we can safely assume it could happen.

[aggiesrul8]

It's about an important a question as if a rooster laid an egg on the very crest of the roof, which way would the egg roll?

[Captain Zepp 07]

That they did, and didn't since DLC was just Jimi alone yet same albums. Basically GH trying to rush the market with a big name. If we want to get technical, even GH overlooked some lableing like Band On The Run is really by Paul McCartney & Wings,

Courtney owns the main 3, and Kurt basically. The masters of the rest are with other people, Sub Pop owns all of Bleach

[justin19954]

Whatever direction the wind is blowing.

[Xzyliac]

That they did, but probably because they were just trying to rush the deals with Hendrix Estate (2 packs from him, but no transfer for that either was a sign something wasn't right to begin with.)

Courtney owns the main 3, and Kurt basically. The masters of the rest are with other people, Sub Pop owns all of Bleach
But...nobody likes Bleach. :p

I think the reason they excluded Hendrix from the export was they didn't want to pony up twice. And I don't see how rushing the deal would amount in the complete crediting of the full band.

[aggiesrul8]

Whatever direction the wind is blowing.

Hint #1: It was a loaded question...

Hint #2: Roosters don't lay eggs...


:D:p

I love Bleach, better then Nevermind overall in my book.

Edited my post after thinking twice about my comment lol, but I'll agree with you there that may be a good part of why they didn't transfer over. As well as the whole Character recognition like Tool had as well maybe?

[OmegaVader]

I don't mind. Everything by Hendrix is listed as "Jimi Hendrix" in my mp3 collection, regardless of whether it's solo, Experience or Gypsys. Makes it easier to find his body of work1

[MisterSchulz]

I thought the Big Brother & the Holding Company was a big snub, totally uncalled for. The Hendrix vs Experience issue would be less of an issue, but I still really, really want it correctly titled (if it is indeed the album track, which I hope!).

You would think HMX would strive to appropriately label all the songs they release. It's really not that hard to look this stuff up and get it right.

PS. Big Brother/Janis still pisses me off. So what if it's off Janis' greatest hits album. It's like if Layla was credited to Eric Clapton instead of Derek and the Dominos. If they ever pull that move, I'll love HMX for finally releasing some Clapton, but god damn, get the labeling right and respect the artists associated with the music!

I would argue that HMX labels songs exactly as they are told to do in the contract that liscenses such songs???

Can’t we agree though the rooster has a right to lay an egg if it in fact could do so?

That didn't stop them from not identifying a gimped version of Last Resort or Hair of the Dog.

Spanish Castle Magic in GH was just credited as "Jimi Hendrix."

Woah... I haven't seen you around here since Rock Band 1. Welcome Back! :D

But it will likely be The Jimi Hendrix Experience (they also seemingly misspelled Steve Harley, so it could just be a typo in the press release). I don't see how they could call it just Jimi Hendrix. It's a group effort of awesome, despite how awesome Jimi was.

[n4sc4r]

I fart in your general direction.

But that was GH dude. We've come a LONG way since then. Plus that was an instrumental cover and really it's not a fair comparison. That's a major step down. Plus WORLD TOUR DID IT!!! So that kind of puts whatever Guitar Hero 1 did on the backburner.

Oh and thanks for the welcome back. :D

[MattyT]

I think that's more on the band who submitted the material. It's possible that the band wants the song labeled a certain way, such as not listing the album as "Rock Band Re-Records". It took fans of The Cab to identify that we didn't get the album version of "One of Those Nights". Fault, if you want to call it that, could really be on either side.

[Kariodude]

Yeah bottom line, the way it's credited in the game is up to the Hendrix estate. If it's credited only to Jimi Hendrix, then that's the way they wanted it.

[ShoTTySLanKiN]

Everyone will be shocked when they pop in the game and it's NOT Jimi Hendrix or The Experience but rather Crucial Taunt. LOL.

I say this to this day, and don't care what flames I get for it. Jimi wouldn't be half as awesome if he didn't have Redding and Mitchell. Band of Gypsies was ok but didn't have the same feel as the Experience.
