Parts cut out of songs

I like the game over all, except the fact that they edited the songs. Such as spanish castle magic, if you listen to the original version, Hendrix sings, and there's about a three minute long solo. At least put the whole solo in expert.

Also, "Hey You" sounds nothing like it does originally, Pink Floyd sounds nothing like that...

first off, Pink Floyd didn't do that Hey You thats in GH, it was The Exies, which i had never heard of until GH, but i digress. Secondly, if you put that three minute solo in there it would make the song feel like it runs on forever (i mean texas flood, which i perceive as the longest song in the game already feels like a marathon in itself). the reason for it being an instrumental as opposed to the actual singing is beyond me. i gues it's because that they had such a hard time in production replicating hendrix's voice that they decided that it would be easier to just make it an instrtumental. I believe that quite a few songs have cuts in them. To me, the one that seems to stand out would be Iron MAn, it's like missing a verse, the solo is too short, and all that, but thats all for the sake of time, which is totally understandable. Also, a lot of the songs have minor cuts in there (ie. the grunt at the end of Cowboys From Hell).

I don't think they had the license to duplicate hendrix's vocals, but I could be wrong.

I wish none of them were cut. I want at least a few really long songs in the game.

I'm fairly certain sharp dressed man is actualy longer. I don't know about content but it feels like its played about 10% slower than the original.

Sharp Dressed Man seems like it goes on forever. :p

A couple cuts off the top of my head:

-In Frankenstein, they didn't include all of the drum solo, for obvious reasons.
-Fire It Up's ending is shorter than the original version.
