But thankfully theres some really open minded guys there too. Not all prog fans are middle aged man stuck in the 70s.

But unfortunately a lot of them are. The kind that talks about how closed minded kids are for not appreciating the greatness of Mike Oldfield, all the while pretty much dismissing every other genre of music.

Oh yeah, no doubt there are open minded people and good on them. The one thing I absolutely detest in Music is close mindedness. By all means you don't have to be as eclectic as some of us but at least give ANY music a listen before you form an opinion. I don't think I could stay long on those forums and I like my Prog.

As a Jimi Hendrix fan I can honestly say he pretty much ruined the song and completely missed the mood of it. While more appealing from the stance of a guitarist everything else about the song feels soulless and dead. Bob's version is leagues ahead of it.

He ruined the song?

I didn't know making a song your own meant you were ruining it.

Indeed. It meanders into this unemotive wank that just doesn't fit the mood of the song at all. It has no feeling. Plenty of depth and technicality but it just isn't the moving piece it should be.

You're just being a wanker on purpose. Even if you think that Hendrix's version is somehow worse, it certainly did justice to Dylan's in every respect. And I'm pretty sure that it wasn't unemotional at all. His voice reaches into great depth when he's singing. If it came across that way, that's just Hendrix's style coming through. He was very good, but he never made it look like (or sound like) he was trying too hard.

And you still haven't explained why Dylan himself switched to Hendrix's arrangement.

It took you over 900 posts to figure that out?

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.

With the exception of Guns N Roses covering Knockin On Heavens Door, if you cover a Bob Dylan song, it's gauranteed to be better than the original.
