Jimi Hendrix plays Purple Haze 1969

[vicdemonejrjr]

Does anybody know the name of the last song in this video?

[powerhitter]

@vicdemonejrjr "Villanova Junction" By: Jimi Hendrix

[vicdemonejrjr]

I've watched this video over and over again and it still takes my breath away every time

[iamtheipodman]

This is why I hate anybody who questions whether or not he's the greatest guitarist of all time!

[Benjofresh]

Nothing says " 'Merica!" like The Star Spangled Banner > Purple Haze <3

[Fido456]

Always on the fence of being on complete feedback and rocking it like no other. hes an Animal but a beast for sure. Im 19 This is The good stuff. Screw mainstream Pop, Punk, and R n B you got nothing on this man, the blues or even Rock.

[TheCityslikernp]

8 people are a disgrace

[smil3yfac]

i love how he drops his song into a bluesy masterpiece at 6:25 its my favorite part!

[luisquevedoriveros]

And that's how you exorcise a guitar

[luisquevedoriveros]

The devil's soul, it's coming out of that guitar... %4

[XxSnipeDatFacexX]

[welhungjohnson]

[JoeyofCalifornia]

@vyeliki... Yea man haha see thats the answer i was looking for! Thanks

[JoeyofCalifornia]

@ jjblackhawk94...haha nah man wtf?? I was asking forreal! I dont think u understood his message, or my question

[jjblackhawk94]

Undeniably THE single greatest guitarist that has lived, or will ever live.

[astrogert]

this video SHOULD have more views

[JoeyofCalifornia]

So he did the star spangled banner in this fashion to mock america right?

[jjblackhawk94]

@JoeyofCalifornia So you're one of those people who goes around to videos you know you're not going to like just to piss off people, right?

[vyeliki]

@JoeyofCalifornia He was emulating the sound of bombs and machine guns, as a protest against the (at time) ongoing Vietnam War.

[DrFrankensteam]

Monumental moment in rock history ruined by a stoned cameraman who only shoots Jimi's head at the beginning. Other than that, this is permanent greatness by a musical genius!

[MorTunia]

I love JH

[hadrien154]

guys stop hating on justin bieber i mean baby acoustic is ten times better than this

[JimisComingBack]

He looks at the camera as if to say "FUCK ALL YALL...you can only take my body"...Jimi where ever you are we LOVE YOU

[Dazerlbc]

This guitar is screaming fuck hippies fuck those bad trips away!!! patriotically of course

[makemoneyhere1]

[TheMrXFilms]

[51sgc]

this is 'Star Spangled Banner'

[NickCorcoranChannal]

i guess 7 people have got some purple haze in their brain

:)

[DrFrankensteam]

Fantastic music! But I'd have rather watched Jimi play, as opposed to hippies picking through garbage....

[ThePimpPenguin]

eargasm

[Django5198]

Love the feedback at 3:40 to 3:50!!!

[secretagentYTer]

@Django5198 and the way it just stops=epic

[GreyBandanna]

Jimi - The man who started from nobody and ended up like THE FUCKING BOSS

[CommunityCraftFR]

No one who was there will ever be the same .

[baaaydee]

The Star Spangled Banner played by Jimi Hendrix seems like one of the best pieces in rock history

[andreat1994]

7:20 tender surrender :D

[BOLTSskateboarding]

to spend just an hour with him.. the stories he'd have to tell, i would give anything to bring him back just for a day

[IdontneedanIpod]

Several trillion times better then the next best thing.

[armineprox]

This is the year hotel california ran out of wine

[SuperDupeify]

It's all about the music

[TheWhiteboxx]

@6:27 its amazing

[dimethaltryptamine1]

About the best guitar solo known to man! Give any1 a guitar& offer them 1,000,000 to get even close to Hendrix's rendition@Woodstock&they won't come even close to pickin up the doe!

[NinjaOnANinja]

6:28 I see what you did there. Black musician so you put in watermelon. 

[SatyrThrone92]

on a video such as this, the dislike button should be forbidden. For this, truly, is the work of a genius.

[c350Zee]

[hawaiijohann]

[KrazyKrippler]

Who else thinks that Will Smith could play Jimi Hendrix in a movie?

[fattyfrombk]

@KrazyKrippler

NOT ME!

[DazedConfused1969]

@KrazyKrippler ME EITHER!

[babyfirefly118]

@KrazyKrippler maybe..but i think Andre 3000 would be better .. wut u think ?

[SKEN53]

it starts at 4:20

[Bluebird257]

@SKEN53 The best part starts at 0:00.

[EndryxS]

@SKEN53 started millions of fucking years ago; your're right

[rahkenrole]

@SKEN53 it always starts at 420 :)



[Sustiali]

@SKEN53

no it starts with 0:00 ...too good to be skipped...

[blobbym]

@SKEN53 are you mad? You cant skip hendrix

[cyrilfan33]

@SKEN53 those 4 minutes and 20 seconds are etched into musical history, skipping them would be completely missing the point of Woodstock and Hendrix. Also you would be missing one of the most iconic moments in music, period.

[SKEN53]

@cyrilfan33 calm the fuck down! i was only saying that the song in the title of the video started not at 0:00 but at another time, JESUS!

[jjblackhawk94]

@SKEN53 Hehe, purple haze starts at 420... XD

[theunknown33]

@SKEN53 What a magical number to start at

[rosmalenl1]

@SKEN53 what do you call it at 0:00?

[TheLedzepplin99]

[iAmAsien]

[GizmoMofo7]

[humbertomafa]

@GizmoMofo7 the greatest idiot please

[MemphisMurk100]

2:12 favorite bomb

[Cremptarz]

I bet no body knows why jimi hendrix did the star spangled banner like he did.

[infinitystar]

@Cremptarz Because freedom is a lie.... its Free-doom.... united states was unmasked in this rendition 

[Cremptarz]

@infinitystar nailed it my friend fucking nailed it. U r one of the few

[cathymv2011]

@Cremptarz do you know why he did the star spangled banner like he did? enlight us :)

[HendrixFreakazoid]

@cathymv2011 1. Because he could. 2. Echoes the sound of the times- Vietnam war, racial tension and dischord

[skaterguy115]

who ever disliked this,, im going to kick your ass!

[Music100Quality]

@skaterguy115 nahh dont do that. just give em a hug

[guitar19904]

@skaterguy115

[piercechallenger11]

i have watched this like everyday for the past week :P

[mrkickass956]

@mrmarksmanelite

he is using the dive bomb technique for the planes going down and a killswitch effect for the explosions but he is making the killswitch effect with the pickup selector not the pedal but yeah that's how he does it :)

[3530JC]

0:21 - 0:47 !! <3 :)

[julyarchives]

Jimi Hendrix changed rock music and especially the electric guitar style in his era .Its important to recognise he was achieving this when The Beatles ,The Stones ,The Who ,Eric Clapton etc were still either in their prime or still making things happen

[babyfirefly118]

@julyarchives you're so0 right

[elclipproducciones]

CON LOS DIENTES :O Grande Hendrix

[cbcrog]

If Jimi was a potato, I'd be like, "WOW HOLY SHIT! LOOK AT THE POTATO HAVE SEX WITH THAT GUITAR AND LISTEN TO THE GLOURIOUS SOUNDS THAT IT MAKES WHEN HE PERFORMS HIS FEATS OF AUDIO SEX MAGIC! HE'S NO ORDINAIRY IDAHO SPUD ILL TELL YOU THAT!"

[MrFranciscoAndrade]

I hear all the time that todays youth is godless...just show them this clip and say: see kids, we told you god was real

[haloisawsome1359]

who ever disliked this is a fuckin faggot

[yofera50]

@haloisawsome1359 Aggression and hatred towards a group of people,this is NOT what Woodstock was about son.

[haloisawsome1359]

@yofera50 huh i guess your right and im not being sarcastic i should respect the homosexual ways

[yofera50]

@haloisawsome1359 Not homosexuality in particular,but human beings and planet Earth as a whole,cause through superficial judgment we are all one big consciousness. ☮

[haloisawsome1359]

@yofera50 wow are you a naturalist you are very smart have you heard of gary renard he practices something called course in miracles its not a religion it is just a practice it is similar to budhisim thank you for the wisdom (:

[MrNightrider95]

wow! music based on actual feelings. rare thing to hear now a day.

[Ibbis3344]

Sending a message...........did anybody up there* hear!!!

US still involved in wars, all over.......... when will it end???

The ending is very mystical to me, everyone gone, Jimi stands alone.

Lonesome dove! removing the detritus....... and he plays onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn........on just beautiful in its own way, unforgettable scene. ... 42 years later...

[SuperGuitarmaster2]

Six people who saw this video need to get drowned in freezing water.



[SuperGuitarmaster2]

why isn't it called "jimi hendrix plays star spangled banner"?

[shawn7178newsom]

6 people have committed blasphemy

[skovbrynet43]

just nice love it

[SauronsEye]

What filthy pigs they were. Almost every piece of ground had rubbish on it.

[wildcat31772]

@SauronsEye if you and 400,000 people all camped out for 3 days when it was expected to only have 50,000 ppl. And facilities for 50,000 (not 4x that) would you not expect stuff to be all over the ground?

[TheCozybear65]

Jimi Hendrix=The Big Bang

[jesseyeahdude]

Rolling Stones Magazine

Ranked Jimi Hendrix number 1!

in the 100 greatest guitarist of ALL TIME.  Proof that Hendrix is the ultimate!

[giakkaru]

US anthem actually

[Dns2080]

Wish I was born in the 40s....

[Saulera777]

Does anybody else HATE tha fact they used to film Jimi's face, instead of his hands?

[accountsixtynine]

@Saulera777 dont really care tbh, there is so little actual footage of jimi on youtube, besides he's fucking beautiful

[Rihonblood]

8:03 Am I the only person who wants those shoes?

[MrMarksmanelite]

I still cant make out how he made the guitar sound like a bomb exploding.When he made the guitar sound like a plane going down then crashing.It sounded like a real bomb that amazed me since i was 13 and started playing guitar

[tomboy2081]

THIS IS ART!!!!! LISTEN PEOPLE! HE'S TRYING TO SAY SOMETHING THROUGH THIS PIECE. I LOVE IT WHEN HE STARTS PLAYING TAPS. IF YOU DON'T SEE THE AWESOMENESS OF THIS SONG, THEN YOU ARE IGNORANT AND NEED TO GO GET AN EDUCATION.

[14Jerad]

These 6 people are complete idiots if it wasn't for Jimi Hendrix and all the other great rock bands these gay rappers and shity pop artist would never exist

[MossPikpo]

that guitar could incrediblely stay in tune :O

[n0possibility]

@MossPikpo my oh my has Fender's quality control fallen quite a ways haha

[reeceandskillet]

I remember first seeing this as a 14 year old in the mid 1980's and understanding it was a depiction of the Vietnam war....I was completely blown away then...25 years later I am just as, if not more blown away by the sheer genius of Jimi.

[EricRusselHodgson]

Thumbs up if you can play Purple Haze on guitar!

[Steveman1981]

The strats tremolo system is 2nd to only the Flyod Rose...and if you need prof this video should prove it!!!! It took a beating and stayed in tune!!!!

[9I2turbo]

@Steveman1981 I love you because you say tremolo and not whammy

[ledzeprulz1234]

I think this video just defined half of what guitar playing is today, damn, we miss you Jimi

[freaker126]

the original revolutionary guitar player ..yeah

[martlad1]

Sounded like a one man orchestra when playing his guitar - that's how good he was!..He was unbelievably talented,innovative and got the most incredible sounds out of the electric guitar.He was the best - hope we get another Jimi soon.

[zeppelinrocks100]

i bet hendrix could make the shittiest sounding squier sound like the nicest american fender strat

[ImprovingGoose]

@zeppelinrocks100 he could make an elastic band nailed to a piece of wood sound like a strat

[thistlemunch]

@zeppelinrocks100 The only difference between an American Strat and a Mexican one is who made it.

[justbringit151515]

my favorite bomb at 2:12

[dmero3834]

I couldn't fit my whole comment so i shorten it I'm 51 and I've been playing since i was 9 I've seen them all live!, in my 35 years of chasing that high, guitar playing is a art that only true players understand you will never see another player fuck a guitar the way jimi did as long as you live, EVEN IF YOU LIVE FOREVER

[kildare97]

Why do people say that Jimmy Page And Jimi Hendrix are sloppy.

I know they miss a lick sometimes but that gives it more life making it feel human not robotic and dry

[marcointerpol1]

the best

[riverafrancisco1]

Bill Hicks was right; he PLAYS FROM HIS FUCKING HEART!.

[13isaacz1]

Till about 3:50 was actually pretty terrible and I rely like hendrix, But the beggining was rely overrated. Dont hate im just saying its true!

[Joerusht0n]

@13isaacz1 Thats just your opinion, in my opinion, till about 9:06 it was fucking awesome!!!

[Spinalcarker53]

whats the last thing he plays from 6:30 to 9:06

[Marcell099]

@Spinalcarker53 I believe it's called "Villanova Junction"

[Akira161]

@Spinalcarker53 I don't know, but it sounded very close to "tender surrender" of steve vai...

[LordGroundhog]

@Akira161 Oh yeah, Steve Val. Another great guitarist who rates Jimi as one of the influences on his own playing. :-P

[theganjaking56]

@Akira161 ya because steve vai isnt shy about borrowing some licks from the greatest guitarist to have ever walked the face of this earth.

[TheSacredSailors]

I can't find words for how fucking awesome this is

[TheBeatles026]

Best fu*king video on the internet.

[dsdhajk]

HE TOTALLY KILLED IT ! GUITARIST GOD...

[peltopelor1]

machine guns, missiles, tanks exploding thru a guitar .... ends up in a purple-green haze !

woah ! only he can create and combine ...

god of guitars !!

[gonggilee]

I like him playing national anthem in different way. He tries to show the war destruction through the electric guitar sound. wonderful!!!

[khoa248]

the music starts at 4:20 :-D

[Cachid]

@khoa248 music starts at 00:00 !

[9I2turbo]

@khoa248 you sir, are an uncultured swine if you truly think that.

[khoa248]

@9I2turbo you sir, can suck my dick or you can shut up and go about your buisness.(=

[9I2turbo]

@khoa248 HA! a dick joke i truly have won this war of words good sir, Thank you, Good night, and Godspeed

[khoa248]

@9I2turbo yeah have fun in your fake world man (=

[bethanyisbomb]

5 people here dislike America, and amazing music.

[kendrashanei]

I absolutely love this guy! I wish I was there? He woulda been my babydaddy ;)

[Tracebebo]

HOW DID HE NOT BREAK A FUCKING STRING?!?!?!?!

[darthvader312]

The two greatest guitar players are Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi hendrix

[ThePCdude101]

i know his secret big hands lol

[TylerAkers17]

@harmonycostal- dude do you even know a damn thing about music? he IS one of the best guitarests who ever lived. and those random sounds you were talking about are actually his recreations of the sounds from the Vietnam war. If Jimi never taught HIMSELF half your favorite bands wouldnt do shit. He is an Idol. A legend.

[andrums77]

@TylerAkers17 i agree with you on all but one thing. Jimi isn't ONE of the best guitarists he IS the best guitarist in the world. no doubt about it

[ChildrenAtPlay100]

@andrums77 And I agree with on all but one thing. He WAS the best. (In case you didn't know, he's dead ) :)

[blazelmtdedtn]

@ChildrenAtPlay100 that doesnt change the fact that no one since is better. thus making him the greatest.

[ChildrenAtPlay100]

@blazelmtdedtn But you said in the world...he's not exactly in this world.
