  • HE DIDNT DIE OF DRUG OVERDOSE FOR FUCK SAKE!!!!

  • This must be the missing part of the bible that gives a bio on god

  • excuse me while I kiss the sky

  • Jimi was killed... and his manager had something to do with the murder.

  • @valentin80 lol fuck off with your tin foil hat, his death was a tradgedy it was no ones fault.

  • @epiks1ner His death was a tragedy but the circumstances are weird... do you know that Monika Dannemann had different statements over what happened in that night ? Since Alan Douglas said that Michael Jeffrey came to him and told him that he felt guilty for Jimi's death... you start to put yourself questions...

  • I really don't want to sound like those old assholes that are talking about the good old days and the shitty music kids listen today but seriously what do we have today ? Anybody with a Mac and autotune can become a hit "artist", the work and the personel investment of a Jimmy Hendrix had nothing to do with these rap artists that shit out 5 albums a day, IMaybe I'm getting old I don't know.

  • @alexandreleverrier honestly you sound young...

  • @muffinman223

    34, i'm not hold and English isn't my language.

  • Jimi was murdered. Held down whilst wine was poured down his throat and into his lungs. He was murdered because he was enlightened. Just like the illuminati, he had learned how to harness the infinite energy of the universe and as a result he was a threat to the 'New World Order' seeing as his music was so rebellious in nature. Wake up! Evidence of illuminati manipulation is everywhere!

  • as time goes on---GLOBALLY--->jimi hendrix fans continue to grow like an out of control brush fire! (and THAT`S THE BOTTOM LINE)

  • i gotta believe mitch mitchell as apposed to a bunch of people commenting on youtube--most of which weren`t even alive back then-don`t gossip about jimi-gossip about your mom!

  • if someone had an insurance policy and collected a million dollars on jimi hendrix--don`t you think that would have come out after the death of one of the biggest stars on the planet????people fabricate more stupid stuff! none of them were alive at the time or old enough to remember anything--if it`s not a documented fact-don`t spread it cause it`s probably not true--million dollar insurance policy!!! LMAO

  • according to the book written by mitch mitchel "inside the experience" and official medical records of the time-jimi died from choking on his own vomit because he was "strapped down to a gurney"and the sleeping pills he had taken was NOT enough for an overdose. mitch thought there was something fishy about the whole thing-suggesting "something fishy" but now we will never know. all you people that weren`t alive at the time-don`t feed on gossip-do some research!

  • We were blessed to have him and are still feeling him today.

  • For all of you who think he was murdered, he did overdose, but that wasnt what killed him. When the EMTs took him away in an ambulance, they left him face up, and he vomited and died from lack of oxygen

  • Jimi is my idol

  • D-Bags - Hendrix died in an ambulance, strapped upright in a gurny. The sleeping pills were German, 4 doses to a pill. Hendrix took two, effectively to 8 doses.

    Learn your fucken facts before u put this shit up here. And who made you the authority on Hendrix? Make something about your own life, something you know about.

  • @hopups I love Hendrix, but I have to correct your facts.Monika Danneman had four packets of Vesperax, a sleeping pill.Each packet had ten pills.One dosage was just a portion of one pill. Jimi took nine entire pills. Monika said afterwards that out of the four packets, three were unopened and the fourth had one pill left. Jimi's number was nine, he was fascinated with the number, and told friends that it was either really good or really bad. Those pills mixed with wine, and that's what happened.

  • @hopups However, a story came out not to long ago by one of Jimi's roadies, who actually wrote a book about his own life as a roadie, that Michael Jeffery admitted about a year after Jimi's death that he had had Jimi killed because Hendrix was going to leave him when their contract was up in December on 1970 so he had an insurance policy on Hendrix worth $1 million, and Jeffery said that Jimi was worth more to him dead than alive and Mike did het his money. But nothing has ever been proven.

  • I love you jimi

  • i hate the generic music in the background why cant they just play real hendrix..

  • he was cool.

  • lsd taught him how to see sounds

  • thats why he is the KING man...no one can touch what he done..none..its all followers at this point..

  • hes the god father of guitar.

  • not drug overdose.they kill jimmi.......

  • @TheAdero Totally agree

  • From what i know, he overdosed on sleeping pills, which in the region of europe he was, were about 3 or four times stronger thatn regular pills, and he took nine, wich in regular pills would have been fine, but with the stronger pills it killed him. next to him was a piece of paper immedietly his friends thought it was a suicide note and told that to the press, then later read it. it was a song entitled "The story of life" i guess nobody's really sure what happened, and arguing helps nobody.

  • What is the name of the first guitar song you here?

    I love it!

    please let me know

  • I have seen a documentary about Jimi Hendrix, where it was documented that he didn't die of a drug overdose, but by choking/drowning in red wine... He was a member of the The Black Panthers, and some of their enemies had tracked Hendrix down, put him on a chair and then pour several bottles of red wine into his mouth until he died of drowning. The doctors at the hospital found big amounts of red wine in his lungs.

  • @Elfredo yea i read it somewhere too...

  • @Elfredo YOU HEARD RIGHT,THE DOCTOR WAS JOHN BANNISTER,IT WAS HE WHO SAW JIMI FIRST AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE WINE,THE WINE WAS IN JIMI`S LUNGS AND STOMACH,FULL OF IT,THATS WHEN THE DOCTOR SAID THIS LOOKS LIKE FOUL PLAY INSTEAD OF SUICIDE.

  • i knew bob dylan wrote that song!!!

  • This man, he was a man of EPIC proportions.

  • the last pic of him is pretty ill.

  • he did'nt die of drugs, he wa kiled you MOTHERFUCKERS

  • what was the music in the beginning of the video? in the back ground...

  • Hip hop 4 life baby.....

  • @Atiiy Dude, if you take as many drugs as your on right now, again, your going to die the same way hendrix did.

  • @Atiiy fuckin idiot

  • @Atiiy Hip Hop Died along with biggie smalls, easy e, tupac, etc. the "gangstas" that you idolize these days are what you call gangSTARS, their "music" is all about cars and clothes and oakley shades and bitches an hoes. That GARBAGE isnt music. and p.s "ma brutha", this gay n**** is one of the reasons why black people are seen as equals these days. He stood for more than you give him creds for, so dont hate, and appreciate REAL music

  • Naaa this nigga is gay.....Jimi Hendrix

  • I love JIMI HENDRIX. He was one of the greatest artist of the world.

  • drug overdose... wtf

  • rest in peace, those that fought for peace.

    Jimi Hendrix

    Tupac

    Bob Marley

    John Lennon

  • No he remains alive in our ears :)

  • The Biography Channel is showing a new documentary of Jimi Hendrix, telling his story "in his own words" (from interviews he did, letters he wrote, etc).

    It's narrated by William Earl "Bootsy" Collins, the GREAT bass player who rose to prominence with James Brown in the late '60s, and with Parliament-Funkadelic in the '70s.

    Check it out if you get a chance.

  • I don tknow but Jimi always put s smile on face.. Hes the best!! Hes sucha warm personality.. I hate knowing hes d-ea-d. : (

  • I have to get this off my chest, and if any one in the movie industry sees this, WHY has there NOT been a Movie made to honor this man yet? The Doors,Janis Joplin, Elvis,....have had movies made to honor them. Jimi Hendrix made a TREMENDOUS Contribution to music (electric lady studios among others),and is still being imitated musically today. Where is his Movie????

  • @TrgdyAnn "hello" i noticed your comment and question and would like to explain why......several years ago there were movie producers who met with jimi's step-sister janie about the format of making the movie with original music but she refuse the idea like a dummy and therefore the plan was canceled......what she don't understand is there couldn't be a great movie without it and if anyone with any kind of buisness mentality would know it would be perfect time to expose him to a new audience

  • @jimidre71 Not directed at you, but what the heck kind of right does SHE have to say yes or no? She's a STEP Sibling anyway, and U R Right, ALL of his Fans are being cheated out of seeing a GREAT story of a Musical Genius & the kids of 2day definately NEED to be exposed to REAL Music again. Thanx for sharing this info with me!

  • I meet Jimi at the train station after his show at "The Blue Moon" Cheltenham in 1966. He gave me a cigarette and chatted with me for 30 minutes. Nice guy and I'm very proud to say I met one of the greatest guitarists ever born. RIP Jimi.

  • @trevgk  "met"

  • Does anyone knows the name of the song in the start of the video ?! thanks :)

  • To compare Jimi Hendrix and Michael Jackson is complete blasphemy upon the God of Guitar

  • I love Jimi Hendrix but fuck his family specially his Japanesse step sister. All they're trying to do is milk Jimi Hendrix's name for they're own gain and nothing else. And fuck Paul Gardner Allen he's the first phony who sold Jimi out.

  • I for one lived in this time of hendrix.He was a very talented artist.,one of the best.I still have all his ablums.If he died from drugs or drinking or murdered no one will ever know for sure.His talent is missed.There was no need Garrett2Jr to call anyone a idiot. Hendrix was loved by all.

  • So sad to lose this talent to drugs

  • @lovajj he was murdered you idiot.

  • @Garrett2Jr you are an ignorant idiot. I suppose you were there in the London flat, right?

  • @trevgk dude just fuckin relax watck this. /watch?v=ibjmERkq35k

  • michael jackson dying isnt as sad as jimi hendrix dying. not because i personally like jimi better but michael was arguable done with his career. jimi was 27 years old and on top of his game!

  • WoooooW

    he a god!!

  • MJ was proud of his color but he had a skin disease, "Vitiligo" he colored his early work in color of her skin color, but when the disease was in the body, so he did just remove stains. He paid tribute to J Hendrix the filming of this is it,

  • jimi hendrix changed the face of rock n roll more than any other artist

  • what is the music at the beginning of this vid ?

  • Jimi died from drinking too much and drowning in his own vomit. It was said that he took some pills and drank. Do not know what happened, but when Jimi died we lost a true guitar god.

  • @PearlJammer07 That's not even how it could have happened, the doctors that did the autopsy said they found massive amounts of red wine in his lungs and barely any in his bloodstream, meaning he had to have literally been water boarded with red wine while he was in a deep sleep from the vesperax sleeping pills.

  • He didn't even die from a drug overdose...

  • @StratoBlaster420 Exactly ! Don't know why it was stated that he did !

  • @86lenny monnika killed him and could not live with it she got jealous cuz he went to a party with devon wilson he came or as brought home sick and she did the finishing job on him

  • @blackdude57 How'd she do it ?

  • @86lenny she had bought wine earlier for them to spend the night but he had things to settle about his contract so he went away and left her she went many times to pick him up but they waved her away she musta been real mad when they bought him in sick so she put him to sleep ................ to rest ...... forever

  • @StratoBlaster420 yup your right he died from as asphyxiation just like the video said

  • what is the name of the song that starts at 4:14

  • what is the name of the song that starts at 4:14

  • He was taking lessons from an African sufi master ...

  • what is the name of the song from 0:05 to 0:19 and 0:19 to 0:51

  • Right at this second, who would be talented enough to act as Jimi Hendrix in a biopic? It has to be a serious actor, I don't want to hear "Lenny Kravitz", he's not an actor.

  • @Chnamanjx they already made a hendrix biopic maann, and i dont think it was that good seeing as its sitting on my shelf collecting dust,

  • you can really talk to jimi in the afterworld there the secret is out

  • It has never definitively, without question, been proven that he had any drug overdose...he may have been murdered...kind of like Brian Jones of the Rollingstones...

  • we need a drug revolution in this country n need one fast. we were close to one. people where pissed, but then they put a black man in office and everything is a ok. fuck the system. if anyone in the army were to take lsd they would start laughing at how fucked up the situation they are in is and wouldnt think of killing anyone

  • @kangol12323 Wake up you idiot.

  • @fifolon lalalala ur a faggot

  • this didnt say but me was in the 101

  • He Brought a great deal of History to America!

  • he choked on his own vomit

  • What the Narrator said @ 4:16 IS PUUURE MYTH! Evidence can prove murder...

  • what is that song at the very beginning of the video?

  • Eddie Van Halen!!

  • he remains alive in our hearts

  • Great Talent

  • watch?v=Xy71whQ_ImM

  • Drug Overdose=Bullshit

  • @123451a o ya drug overdose oonnn

     ..weed?

  • Alcohol and barbiturate overdose put him to sleep then he asphyxiated on his vomit.

  • They ruined the whole video when they said "drug overdose"

  • @Nimrod9458 Its misinterpreted...he had alcohol in his system and took sleeping pills which werent prescribed to him, but to his girl friend, so its not like he did too much heroin or overdosed like a reckless crazy man...but he was drunk and made a fatal mistake

  • @Noseheros Right on, man. Jimi's death was a tragic accident. People need to reign in their wild imaginations and let the Man rest in peace. NOBODY MURDERED THIS GREAT MAN OF PEACE

  • @Nimrod9458 he was murdered no overdose

  • @rockgod4 Give it a rest Dude. 36 times the normal dose of sleep medicine, mixed with wine, a life-long sleep disorder where he would choke in his sleep, a stupid German broad that waited 5 hours to call for an ambulance, Eric Burdon telling her to mellow out, and 4 years of almost daily use of hard drugs. That is how Jimi died. Case closed.

    What sucks is that nobody, except for a couple of family members, took him aside and told him to straighten out. Not what I'd call friends...Miss you Jimi!

  • @Nimrod9458 how he really died? :/

  • jimi hendrix was awesome

  • I can't believe someone used Jimi's name and that THING'S initials in the same sentence. I must now go puke. See this puke? FLOOK.

  • I've always liked Hippie Dudes named Jimi...

  • - drug overdose. What a sad statement for a lot of talented musicians...

  • If he was still alive, music would have much much hier standards. Everyone would be wrighting symphonys !!

  • Unfounded speculation

  • Nothing more than idol worship!

  • wait what? most of the dates in this are kinda fucked Gypsy was before woodstock, then it skips to his death?

  • no that was gypsy sun and rainbows

  • <3 wikipedia?

  • Jimi said the most quirkiest things too, like "Give me an A..for Apple.." when tuning up...LOL.

    Or he'd say: "You see this top? FLOP!" with a bottle cap in the movie Rainbow Bridge...just an imagination going all the time.

    JBirdy

  • Metal4life160 - i agree completely.

  • I would bet that if he were still alive, he would be playing the blues. You could hear the blues roots in his work, even the pyschedelic stuff.

  • shut the fuck up about michael jackson

  • Comment removed

  • we're talking bout jimi not michael jackson and nobody cares what you are saying it doesnt matter how jimi died what matters is he was a awesome figure in history.

  • Comment removed

  • Jimi Hendrix was MUCH more talented then MJ.

  • Any person who gives this comment a thumbs down obviously knows nothing about not only the progression of music, but about how much of an influence Hendrix was on MJ.

    In other words, anyone who gives ^^ a thumbs down is an idiot.

  • @metal4life160 Wow,why are you trying to compare..there is noe comparison to Artists..MJ was a Legend and so was Jimi..let them rest in peace.Only person who can judge greatness is God.

  • @MrJacksonvill

    fuck god who is he to judge less then create

  • @metal4life160 Stupid comparison!

  • @metal4life160 ok who cares did u have to say that just to be a dick or what? fucking asshole

  • @metal4life160 did jimi let girls cry as much as MJ did on his dangerous tour? no i dont think so

  • @budubum aleast jimi had a dick 

  • @budubum atleast mj had lots of women more than jimi ever did

  • @budubum lol!

  • @metal4life160 The two incredible talents are not to be compared. Both were supertalented in their own way.

  • @metal4life160  jimi hendrix did way more than mj and jimi was proud to be black unlike mj who changed his color

  • @metal4life160

    Why are you comparing a Guitar God and King of Pop?

    Its Unfare for MJ...

  • @metal4life160 Why the comparison?

  • @metal4life160

    MJ was a dancer/singer.

    Jimi was a guitar player/song writer/singer

    There both different.

    Heres a quote from guitar virtuosa: steve vai

    "music is like art, there is no best"

  • Comment removed

  • Let there be no doubt, the GREATEST.

  • we tune because we care

  • jace is right, thats why he asked steve windwood to be the singer, the guitar players never hit the top when they sang and they were never the leader of a band

  • Comment removed

  • Hendrix

    Paige

    May

    SLASH

    Too bad jimi never was in a great band

  • you need to take "SLASH" down from that list...cause, he sucks

  • you forgot gilmour

  • forgot SRV too

  • what u talking bout the hendrix experience was great so was the band of gypsies

  • right !

    as if mitch mitchell was a slouch ?

    so do you even know who mitch mitchell was, jace89 ?

  • no no no no dude, thats not what i meant.

    I was talking about how those guitarist had a great singer and lyrics behind them

    Paige had had plant

    may of course had mercury

    and slash had rose.

    Lets face it, "the experience' were not good lyricly.

    Jimi and clapton were like Beethoven when it came to songs They don't need lyrics, but a song is always better with a great singer and lyrics.

  • Slash and Axl Rose! pffft hahahahaha thanks for the laugh Jace89!

    Jimi Hendrix was 10x a better guitarist than Slash. He was also 100x a better song writer and singer than Axl Rose.

    Have you listened to any Jimi Hendrix songs other than Purple Haze?

  • lol i haven't even listened to purple haze

    I have most of his songs except that.

  • dude i love jimmy's lyric, i have no clue what you are talking about listen to castles made out of sand, and if 6 was 9

  • no, you guys are misunderstanding me.

    I'm talking about if jimi had a great singer backing him up and singing why he plays.

    Like how plant and paige was or may and mercury.

  • have you heard someone try to sing a cover of jimis songs with a good guitarist it just dosent fit jace hendrixs voice was like a piece of the puzzle

  • hendrix is my hero hands down but m8 go try stevie ray vaughn for the closest thng to jimi :) rip jimi

  • Personally, I liked Jimi's voice. Even though he slurred his diction, the voice quality it's self was pretty good. I think a voice coach could have taken him up a level or two.

  • GOD!

  • good brief bio...I saw him live 5 times..

    to tigab37: If you dedicated a whole year of your life to make a biography on him you should spell IDOL correctly!

  • jimi hendrix is my idle. I dedicated a whole year to make a biography on him

  • is it a book?

  • What an inventor for inventing a guitar sound so precious no one can play like him today. He is the number 1 guitarist of all time and no one can take that away from him

  • if he was only alive toda
