Talk:Voodoo Chile

Last paragraph

Is the last paragraph really appropriate for an encyclopaedia? Expecially use of 'light years' ahead - light year is a measure of distance. Ka5hmir 03:59, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

It's completely non-NPOV. Removed. Dissolve 04:25, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

"non"-NPOV...? since "NPOV" means "non" "point of view", that would be double-negative, or positive: POV. *smile* - Janine -

NPOV stands for Neutral Point of View, thus non-Neutral Point of View = biased. <plonk> dissolve^talk 09:16, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

What does "chile" mean? Probably not the country - is it slang for "child"? Maybe this should be explained. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.124.91.188 (talk) 14:38, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I live in Chile and a very popular urban myth here is that this song refers to the country. However, I believe it is slang for child.--200.14.108.1 (talk) 17:16, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Covers?

First, I was surprised there was relatively little for such an important song - no info on chart positions etc. Some explanation as to what a Voodoo Chile is maybe? How it evolved in live performance, when was it first played in front of a big audience, festival etc and when last played: IoW? Plus some important covers such as SRV's et al. Where it appeared in list of top guitar tracks etc (not that I condone such rankings). Just my six pennyworth coz I love this track. Cheers Royzee (talk) 21:21, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Also be sure you're not confusing it with Voodoo Child (Slight Return) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.14.88.176 (talk) 15:38, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Sentence in the lead

The sentence in the lead about John Perry calling it "'interstellar hootchie kootchie', which blends Chicago blues and science fiction" shouldn't be there. It is only one person's description, and not a very good one. It should be in the "Background and lyrics" along with Charles Shaar Murray's description, which is actually better. 2001:BB6:4708:9258:BD88:D1AE:995C:2933 (talk) 16:13, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

I have moved that sentence into the article body, along with some other sentences, and made the lead a better summary of the article. 2001:BB6:4708:9258:642C:6392:1BA5:8CE5 (talk) 11:10, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
