thats the point.....the screeching is the point. It's not just screeching....it's a statement

attention seeker ! whats the matter? your mum never smacked your ass enough so you need to come on youtube stir things up?

I was like so bloody happy when I found out we had The Woodstock DVD. I was like Freaking OUT~!

I'm not saying he's bad at playing the guitar. I'm saying the way he plays it for the anthem makes it sound like he's murdering the instrument. Its the most offensive, hellish screeching noise I've ever heard, there's a reason when this is sang its done by soft toned women in beautiful booming lyrics. Because its not supposed to be screeched out of a guitar. No I'm not racist, and I'm pretty sure I'm not a minority either, lots of people hate nails on a chalk board. Looks hard, though.

to the people that think this sucks......it must be nice to be such a small percent of people. Such a small group. One that is dwindling down more and more until you're just a single entity that is spewing crap out because of jealousy, hatred, racism, or whatever the case may be. This is one of the greatest musical moments in all of history. And this is agreed upon by the majority of the educated planet who have any insight into this song. Don't hate yourself because you're stupid. Learn.

@FrenchPropagandaV1 ...ur definitely right, he understanded it very goodly

First of all, try to understand the sense of this track, this is the answer of Jimi against another one US governemnt war of terror , the Viet nam war And i left this comment, its because, Obama prepare the new war, for very soon .....Jimi loved drugs, but he understanded the world all around him .U fucker .

i don't offend the Jimi memorie, its the oppositeTHUS, shut it

Shut up.

Is it the part where he's playing the melody that bothers you, or the part where he's imitating the sounds of the Vietnam war?
