Seven Ages of Rock Part 1 of 7 - Birth of Rock

[jimmyjamesharford]

Excellent video & some great footage that I've not seen before. Hendrix was a complete virtuoso. I feel like Eric Clapton did during the interview towards the end, extremely saddened. Man what a loss.

[rawyn89]

does anyone have the english subs for this episode ?

[DrGolfJam]

is it out of sync for anyone else?

[droyo23third]

@DrGolfJam no..it's perfectly fine



[masstarvation]

It's a shame I cannot upload the other 5 videos because Youtube doesn't allow me to. . . shame I can't share the Metallica, Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd parts.

Jimi is on another level as a performer, he stands alone

[skuffz]

13:57 that guy looks exactly like Jeff beck

[Mrpostman1011]

' jimi hendrix was a weak man ' should have seen what he had to go through to be were he was, twat

[agorden14]

@Mrpostman1011 I cant beleive that guy has the nerve to call hendrix weak. overcoming the fact that he had a horrible childhood with no support from his family, overcoming the racism of america in the 60s, and overcoming poverty to become the most famous guitar player in the world, and you call him weak!?

[Mrpostman1011]

@agorden14 I don't understand sorry, are you trying to say that I had the nerve to do that or? :)

[7Fender4]

@Mrpostman1011 You dont know anything about Hendrix or music at all.

[Mrpostman1011]

@7Fender4 would you like to shut up? Given the fact that I was talking about his childhood, the lack of his family support and the fact that he went to war because he had no other options etc obviously means that you know nothing about hendrix. I wasn't saying that he was a weak man, if you look at the comment that I put and used your eyes, you would see that I was quoting it from the video.I know quite a bit about music, I play guitar and drums so I have a fairly good insight as well.

Fabulous !



[squashedtomato]

It was Linda Keith who knew the Stones and other musicians, that first saw (or discovered even) Hendrix or Jimmy James as he was, playing in the back row of the house band at the Cheetah Club in Greenwich Village, She got maybe a couple of Record Company execs to see him who turned him down, before she tried Chas. They never seem give her much credit to Linda Keith for spotting his talent and getting Hendrix to the attention of right people.

[timmy47]

@squashedtomato very true, very true.

[masstarvation]

@squashedtomato yeah, you are spot on mate

[lesterclaypool1]

@squashedtomato well its not like you could ignore jimi

[DAEDREKWARRIOR]

jimi actually left the army by pleading homosexuality, i read it in room full of mirrors

[LSMFTbitch]

the guy from the rolling stone magazine looks liek "beanpole" from the tripods

[Kwaadvlieg]

Big thanks for the upload! Such a shame that Hendrix collapsed because of too much drugs and pressure. Thanks again for some really interesting footage! 

[masstarvation]

@Kwaadvlieg i am trying to upload the other videos.. but Youtube is stopping me >.<

[Kwaadvlieg]

@masstarvation What about dailymotion or another video streaming website?

[masstarvation]

@Kwaadvlieg let us see about that.. i prefer to upload it on youtube because of the larger audience reach, but if they are stopping me then i'll explore my options.. i have the part 3 uploaded already

[MezOner]

@Kwaadvlieg I think its a conspiracy. Revolutionary people over time have had the habit of just "dropping dead" one day.

[BlintVidz]

There's a man who sits here and makes the guitar sound like a piano, but then you ask why don't you just use a piano? Because it sounds like a guitar.. lol

[tomkatbad]

cool

[hollowpoint45acp]

[masstarvation]

[masstarvation]

Hendrix killed God at 25:30

[DanyIchamp]

Subbed, hope you upload the other videos, this documentary is really interesting.

[masstarvation]

@DanyIchamp don't worry champ, i won't let youtube forget what rock used to be... not today's auto tune crap!
