I've appreciated other Hendrix songs although they came to me in different forms. Voodoo Child (Slight Return) was used by Hollywood Hulk Hogan as his intro song, Red House was performed by the Satriani, Vai, Johnson version of G3. Machine Gun was everywhere... name dropped by other guitar great as one of the greatest guitar performances ever recorded.
The day came to appreciate Bold As Love. I even thought that the correct title was "Axis:Bold as Love" although upon research i found out that this is the title of the album which the song came from. I guess the appreciation was easier because of John Mayer's voice, which can be easily understood unlike Hendrix's slurs and because it was recommended by JonRay, the best unsigned guitarist in the Philippines! We were on our way to a place were other's wouldn't dare to thread on. But that didn't matter, we listened to the song and I found another one to place in my songlist :)
Anger he smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armour
Queen jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground
Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted,
They quietly understand
Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready,
But wonder why the fight is on
But they’re all, they're bold as love,
Yeah, they’re all, they're bold as love, love, love
they’re all, they're bold as love
Just ask the axis
My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war,
and Ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring,
But its very unsteady for the first go round
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact I’m trying to say it’s frightened like me
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from,
Giving my life to a rainbow like you
But, I’m, I'm bold, I’m bold as love,
Yeah I’m bold, I'm bold as love, love, love, yea..
I’m bold, Im bold as love
Just ask the axis
He knows, he knows, he knows,
He knows everything.....
I'm bold, I’m bold as love,
I'm bold, I’m bold as love... ooh..
Hear me talking to you..
I'm bold, I’m bold as love.

Note: That night, we ended up dancing to the incessant prodding of Side A's Joey G. Damn you Joey G. Damn you!!!!
