Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Jimi was obsessed with aliens and UFO's... maybe he suspected that he was one! When you listen to the man you gotta wonder!

Well, I used to have Axis:Bold as love vinyl (1969 methinks) and I'm pretty sure that intro was titled ESP, not EXP.

I have a DVD on the making of "Axis: Bold Of Love". It shows how you play the songs from it. On "Exp" that guy says he used his feedback and used his wah-wah bar cable backwards.

I also think this song is about a radio talk-show called "EXP" and is about a man called Paul Carousoe and he lives in space and is about to go insane.
