"Despite its sexual overtones, the song had an innocuous origin, stemming from a cold December night in England when the band didn't have a gig, Noel Redding, bass player for The Jimi Hendrix Experience came up with the idea to have Jimi as a guest at his mother's house. Upon arriving, Jimi asked her if he could stand next to her fireplace, she agreed, but her Great Dane was in the way, hence the line, "Aw, move over, Rover, and let Jimi take over..." ("Electric Gypsy")."

Aw..come on! Who thought up this piece of tripe? Even Curtis Knight wouldn't have come up with a yarn like this. 160.84.253.241 07:51, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Hendrix? POP???? Who wrote this garbage? Arkyopterix 18:22, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Just a information from a fan, The RHCP cover of "Fire" was not recorded during the Freaky Styley sessions but from The Uplift Mofo Party Plan sessions. during the first 4 years of the band they try to record a good version of this song because they played it from the first shows, but only in 1987 they came with that version. 22:05, 21 November 2008

Trivia section

There is a piece of information (probably incorrect) that says Noel Redding "misse" a measure. Now there is zero substantiation to this. I'm deleting it because we can assume the "lost" notes were intentionally not played by Redding. We cannot assume, however, that he somehow made a mistake.Fdssdf (talk) 23:29, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Non Notable bands doing cover versions

I suggest we establish some criteria for notability when adding cover versions of this song performed by other artists. We have a problem of WP:COI parties adding their own band in as an attempt to arouse exposure.

As a rule a WP:RS and WP:V source must at least reference the cover version and attest to its notability. Bluescreenofdef (talk) 00:01, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

You're fucked before you start trying to rewrite the rules. Any band with their own article are already deemed to be notable. Now quit following my edits round like you did last year. We do not have a CoI as not only am I not a member of the band, any band, I'm not even a musician. Now please desist your disruptive editing before you get youself blocked again. --WebHamster 00:23, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
