No, there's me to. I find his playing loud and abrasive and earpiercing and boring. I'd much rather listen to Eric Clapton. Check him out on George Harrison's "Live In Tokyo" album...oh my oh my...just the most beautiful, tastefull, almost classically structured solos I've ever heard. Beats the pants offa "Star Spangled Banner." Though...I have to say I AM a little particular to Purple Haze...it's kinda like a theme song for out sports teams here at ECU (our colors are purple & gold). We got shirts saying "ECU Pirates--Purple Haze. Are YOU experienced?" Uh-huh! Rage on Brother Petey!
