plus All Along the Watchtower is one of the greatest covers of all time.

yeah, he made it his own. way better than the dylan version, too.

davenotdead 12.18.2007 11:41 PM

word^. and those are the criteria i look for in a cover. makes it their own and improves on the original? then win

on one hand i like machine gun, on the other i hate the wind cries marry.

on one hand, i love the in between songs feedback and whammy bar action on woodstock, on the other i hate purple haze.

yes, he was the best guitar player to that point, but he has been surpassed.

and greatest debut album ever my ass!

He sure fucked up Like a Rolling Stone, though.

He was quite skilled.

I want to get one of his Dunlop pedals, like the Octavio. Sweet.
