Noel Redding did not write Hey Joe ... nor did anyone in that band
................................................
A few more of those immature examples..:
* Jim Morrison was only 24 on The Doors debut album, i guess thats why those lyrics and performance sound that immature..
* Angus Young was only 20-24 on everything from T.N.T till Highway To Hell, i guess thats why those songs and guitar parts sound that immature..
* Amy Winehouse was only 20-23 from Frank till Back to Black, i guess thats why she always sounded that immature..
* Keith Moon..............................................
* etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc..
All of them, only children, just trying something new and with a little more musical training they would have made some better choices and they would have sounded much more mature..
Same for Mitch Mitchell..
Edit.
I mean, we all realize that this thread is about Mitch Mitchell..?
Simply put...
Mitch Mitchell's drumming makes that tune the emotional powerhouse it is....
In my opinion of course....lol.

..NO NO NO NO NO..
NO NO NO NO NO.
Most of the greats in any field made their first great work at a young age. From Einstein to Tony Williams.
Old rock stars suck, their best work is always the earlier stuff. It's passionate and free.
Who want to sound "mature? Ugh. Sounds like something a middle school band teacher would say. I want the music to soar and make the audience feel intensely, not impress them with my mature (safe) musical choices.
I'll take the passion of youth with all of its flaws any day over "maturity" when it comes to any art form.
Mitch's playing on Hey Joe is epic and totally fit the style at the time.
I think you have not catched the sarcasm in my previous reply, because i agree with everything you wrote..

People who say that Mitch Mitchell is 'overplaying' songs, in my opinion seriously have not understood a few things about drumming, about freedom, about expression, about creativity, about power and about musicality in general..
I mean, whats next, that we all decide that Strawberry Fields Forever also has too many fills..?
Uh.. Rod Stewart with Faces vs. "mature" Rod Stewart. Case closed.[/QUOTE
No. The case is not closed because you say so. Most artists and scientists produce their best work before age 30. They then usually spend the rest of their lives trying to live up to their prior glory.
That's a snapshot in time. I love the drumming in that song and wish we could go back to that. I personally enjoy some exciting drums in my music. The only reason it feels like overplaying is what is being produced in the last 20 years doesn't allow the drummers to shine.
