CBC Archives: Experience JImi Hendrix, 1969

[Chikalita2]

Haha, I read in ``Room Full of Mirrors`` that during this interview his girlfriend Etchingham was right behind the camera and imagine her reaction when Jimi was like ``Some girls are electric to us``??

[rivengle]

k-os sent me.

[outofthebluehere]

Why would you advertise alien attacks/

[sjragin]

jimi would MURDER himself if he knew kids were bumpin around these days calling Lil' Wayne, Justin Beiber, and Lady Gaga "the greatest"...Its better that he didnt live to see this disgraceful fall of music :(

[added23]

why cant people take music seriously like hendrix. there could be so much good music being released during this era since we have so many different artists from the 60s, 70s, and 80s to be influenced by. its fuckin disguisting

[bergadeer]

Such an excellent musician. Too bad he was mudered.

[heyzog]

Well it seems he felt at home in Canada, not quite as foreign as England and similar to the States, but not quite as well hung up on certain things.

[hobbsbd822]

the only thing jimi liked more than jamming was sex

[capetown99]

I love that interview of Jimi.

He just looks so relaxed on that bed.

We should have had Jimi for so much longer.

[olgachefugge]

You are Jimi!!!!!!!!You are everything you strong emotional person

[711Roadrunner]

yeah man what a super cool guy, not just as a muso, but a personality, Hendrix will always be a big inspiration, god bless him! haha watch ye lady!

[jdhthec]

he could have been amazing without drugs:(

dont cmt back unless you want to waste ur time!

[lepulent]

what is the fuc*** problem with drugs man... they truly open doors in your mind. that is a fact, so stop fc***ing around. yeah, excessive consumption wastes you, but what the hell, whats the point living 80 long pointless years instead of passionate, inspirational, influential, incredible, crazy 27 years... do whatever you want, but with love. Drugs accelerate the human mind evolve process. it's a shame it's bad for U'r body, but its your life. He was Amazing by beeing himself.

[psychodeathmonkey]

Hendrix wasn't a druggie. He was just getting used massively. watch live vids from 67' and then 70'. He was just very unhappy.

[bigcyhutch]

He WAS amazing. Period.

[RastafariPoet]

Only 4 years in the spotlight alive. He was robbed man.

[Namelessbeing1]

Apparently Jimi's "girlfriend" was standing just off camera when he said the, "Some ladies are like churches to us too".

[PsychedelicDrummer93]

some ladies are like church to us.. haha

[rayofminneapolis]

Yeah, watch your lady. aha

[kingofthedrum]

youve not really listend to them have you? All ther songs sound different. And youre coment wasnt constructive.

[kylerober242]

excellent post CBC!

quite reminiscent of music 2day.

it's like the words have an echo on them or something...

idk im just fond

[litlemadguitarist]

Why? Ther one of the greatest bands! EVen though ther nothing compared to hendrix, ther still awesome!

[sahbian]

what I thought was funny was his take on pop at that time and how it's still relevant today. that shows that the music industry still runs like it's 1960.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

Pop may have been heavily manufactured even in the 1960's, but at least a certain degree of talent was required for artists to gain success.

[elfishgrin]

If Jimi played with his right hand, faces would melt and the world would end hahaha

[henriettepaszek]

like shiva opening his eye...

[Nicholasmegalis]

Listen to Nicholas Megalis

[Mujabar]

The "Jesus" of modern rock guitar....he'd be 67 this Nov. 27th if he was still around.

[grainofsandfan]

He's genuine and open. He has no posse around him and no sunglasses.

Nice.

[litlemadguitarist]

the best "recent" band I knw is Muse. Ther original, they do ther one thing and ther music kiks ass!

[RiaBassChick]

I don't think there could possily be a sweeter man than Jimi.

[AL2000FL]

JIMI RULES STILL

[Thejbirdy]

Amen, my buddies and I call him.....OUR FOUNDER.

Hahaha, long live Jimi James.

[gbrown4x4]

I totally agree with you on that MrMoggyman. Both comments. I couldn't have said that any better myself..........

[mariotelaro]

"watch your lady..."

[Films4You]

For "Tin Foil" Music >>> just watch the X-Factor

[narleyg5]

Amazing how in this video (see Dick Cavett Video) Hendrix used some intuition, and prophectically mentions how music will eventually become more about money and riches rather than being about heart and soul.

He was right! music nowadays has become about "what sells" and not what "has meaning"

I'm sure he'd be rolling in his grave if he knew what music young people listen to nowadays!

[litlemadguitarist]

Have you heard Muse? Ther a band who dont care about that stuff. Ther great!

[OBSysteme]

@narleyg5 Humbly, the only way to agree with you is if a person makes no effort and experiences music by switching on the mainstream radio station or the music channels on TV. With the internet, the underground music scene has never been more fruitfull, plentifull, and accessible to all. There has never been so much new stuff to explore before, and the netlabel scene is changing the game by having all this music for free.

People need to explore what is out there and find what they like.

[Emberplate]

Don't forget Miles, and Billy. Cox is the only one left ;/

[NYerinJAMROCK]

Juma Sultan and gerardo velez from Gypsy Sons and rainbow band are here with us

Jimi..you really are here with us and 'au courrant' forever

[brightbite]

:59-1:00 HOT!

[bojanglesselgnajob]

jimi isnt one of those artists when he gives an interview he talks like hes above the intelligences of the interviewer like bob dylan and john lennon and i like that.

[enlaciudad1988]

ahaha

"some ladies are like church to us too" ahaha

[cheappassion]

This is post lacking in any real deep insight, but here ya go...Jimi always seemed like a really sweet guy.  RIP

[MrMoggyman]

For me Jimi was the man. Today, 39 years after his death, he is still the man. Making comparisons against musicians playing on modern and 60's gear is wrong. Jimi's music touched you in your soul. More than a listening experience, this was a physical and emotional experience. Litle Wing, for example, to this day drives me to tears of joy simply because of its beauty. Comparisons are pointless. Genius will always win. God bless Jimi, Noel, and Mitch. You were and still are the best. QED.

[lifestraight]

Gotta respect that. An inspiration to us all

[MrMoggyman]

Many comparisons on playing style. Jimi, Clapton, Beck, Gilmour etc. All wonderful musicians. So why is it that Jimi is singled out? Originality and firsts. These are traits of genius. And have no doubt, The Experience was a force to be reckoned with. Their music cannot be referenced to anything that came before, and everyone from Black Sabbath to Led Zep have developed it since. Even Clapton himself referred to Jimi as a genius. Perhaps once in a generation the likes of Jimi will turn up.

[MrMoggyman]

Jimi and Clapton were friends. One of Jimi's pre-requisites to come to the UK in the first place was that he wanted to meet Clapton. Chaz Chandler knew Clapton personally, so no problem. Jimi's first performance was at a Cream gig in London. He got on stage, plugged into Jack Bruces amp, and played Howlin Wolfs 'Killing Floor.' Clapton went back stage. Jimi had arrived. All the UK guitar gods were on the run from that point on! I love these interviews. You can learn so much about Jimi.

[monkfistlust]

this was filmed in the Wellington hotel in nyc

[valleysofneptune]

jimi was such a sweet spirit....the world is a worse place without him around....fly on jimi fly on

[LeshracInverse]

jimi isnt ded other wize the world wuld implode losin all of its Awsomness

[thuglordgthang]

haha jimi is such a BAMF!!

[osirouslui70]

some ladies are like church to us too !!!!!!

[songoftherushes]

he said the people called teenyboppers were not into trash..they WERE into 'the cream and ya'lls group"(hendrix)

he was giving the kids credit for good taste...

[ItsCabs]

"those were the days, those were the days"-cream

viva jimi

[azambory]

burn in the firey pits of hell haha my ass cream is over ratted your ujst jealous cause youd never beable to accomplish what clapton, baker and bruce had done in such a short period of time......... Clapton Is God.

[ItsCabs]

simmer down, there, pal...your granpa mighta thought so, but Eric is just a guitar playing musician. Jimi, on the other hand, was a cosmic force . slight difference.

And I don't know, but seriously doubt, that you ever saw Cream. I did. Twice: For FREE! And they were incredible. And loud! I mean in 1968, not 2006 either! Try talkin about something you know. Eric and Jimi were friends, by the way. Look up the history of Marshall amps, for starters..

[azambory]

that wasnt the point, who cares who saw what its about the music, clapton was god if you were in the 60's then you would have known that, they called him taht for a reason, both musicians are my favorite i also own every hendrix record and creams 5 other records, in my opinion clapton has had just as much if not more influence on my guitar playing. and i know erci and jimi were friends

[ItsCabs]

We are all so fortunate that these brilliant musicians' music was heard by so many people. Cream helped a lot by mentioning the original writers of the songs, not pretending it was new, or their creation. As for the whole "god" thing, that came out of some petty battles between British music critics writing for the pop press. It did not come from the fans. The writers were trying to win favor with Clapton or Paige, hoping to score points and gain access to the groupies. Still happens.

[azambory]

well according to my father whom was 21 in 1968 all of his firends refered to clapton as god. im not tryin to argue maybe in your neck of the woods it was different but my father grew up in the states during the 60's and he didnt have tv or anyhting like that.

[azambory]

lol now that i re-read what you said, first off your old enough to be my grandpa, and second my grandpas passed away, third clapton and hendrix were both extremely muscially inclined, the jimi henrdrix experience was a whole other universe compared to jimi, i never said either one was better than the other.

[azambory]

haha i said jimi twice i meant cream after

[littlequeen64]

Great smile...............

[b00mhauer]

What's wrong with Cream?

[bloodthirstysavage]

the gospel according to jimi and his electric church music

[Eriksjoon]

Some ladies are like chruch for us too, which is another sce.... uhhp excuse me I'm sorry...watch your lady, hahah FUN TIMES!!!!

[blurrybigfoot74]

It's bizarre to hear Cream as being considered Tin Foil music.

It kills me to think N'Sync is going to be considered classic rock and roll.

[Bopalena]

I think when he said manufatcured tin foil he meant popular bubblegum music that was begin played on AM radio at the time and not the Cream who Jimi loved. And now the teenyboppers are back into that tin foil stuff with Britany Spears an all.

[El135o]

So the good musicians are bubbling under and independent, which I thijk is the way it should be.

Although the indie world has its own 'tin foil' junk floating around. A lot of people simply don't know how to play ...

[lifestraight]

But if he loved them why when did he reply sarcastically with "Umm, yeah, okay" After he said the young kids like The Cream?

[77ballbreaker77]

a legend

[musicofme1]

wow jimi thought that there was a lot of manufactured music back then! He would absolutely hate todays music. Theres barely anything good nowadays.

[Electricgypsyboy]

Wow! Great Ears I've heard this interview many times and have always never understood that. Thanks

[AaronBaker12345]

@musicofme1 Yeah,check out witchcraft from sweden,brutus from norway,dead meadow,radio moscow,the sheepdogs etc....theres some newer bands bring back the real sound,its great.

[islandblackberryvine]

Hmm, I just realized , I think Jimi has a Seattle accent.. Seattle son..

[Iamthewalrus17]

he is from seattle. buried in renton washington.

[andreacondarcuri08]

yo people i have an upcoming video on hey joe and metallica

[Eldel15]

you are racist and proud of it

[rhydiantitch]

so racist people think there funny?

[skint0n0minted]

shut up, he was african american, of course he spoke english, how dumb are you!!

[Taman2057]

what an arrogant interviewer. I wonder what he thought jimi's other records ought to have been called?

[larstwowmazyk]

woot jimi!

[TokaCola]

I didn't know this was a CBC interview!

[UsedCassetteTape]

We like the Cream man!

[gamohunter]

The coolest thing about Jimi Hendrix was that he was not afraid to speak about who he liked, and it seems he liked everyone and every type of music, the mark of a true musician and a great human being. Open Minded.

[ocmc0605]

Yeah, he is so relaxed, cute and cool. The best.

[jhendrixfanatic]

I have seen excerpts of this interview, but my feeble brain doesn't quite remember whether I have seen this particular section or not. Has CBC just released it for the first time?

[skilmaster33]

Jimi Hendrix is teh crap, passed on and still the best
