Q¹.I prefer south city voices version. The reason is that the color of the music goes with human voice thus producing the same pitch.² The position of the sound ranges from low to high in a consistent manner.
Q².Hendrix’s version is not offensive.First of all the people had little or no understand what the music what was all about but the Truth is that Hendrix adhered to the melody of the song which had been the official UNITED STATES national anthem for 38 years. Hendrix performed that 3-minute and 46-second version of the national anthem,the war raged half a world away and over 35,000 American troops had been killed. This was a true indication the words that were sang in the song.
The people hearing the strange and scary voices made them stand in dilema but the music had hidden meaning. By the time Hendrix unleashed to the full force of his guitar while fonder Stratocaster,the squeals of amplifier feedback and dive-bombing on his electric guitar vibrato bar was to evoke combat fighter jets, artillery, ambulance sirens and perhaps riots in the streets. It also included a segue into taps,the traditional bugle call played at military funerals.
The music was performed and many of the people took it as the protest song so it became difficult for them to have the right view of understanding what was all about.
