VERY VERY VERY BAD !! Leon dont feel music he is just Hendrix brother nothing more he try to be like JIMI ... " but thats all " ... and change your drummer ITS HORRIBLE sorry .. my 15 yrs old brother play better than your Band ..
@Gravelandart. bro, im not even sure what youre driving at here. im a white dude myself. so i dont really understand what youre point is. somebody said he was just some hack white guy, which he is not. this man is Jimis blood brother, and i am very thankful i had the opportunity to meet him.
i had the pleasure of meeting Leon at WestFest in San Francisco, and i can assure you he is no hack, white dude, he is a humble black man, that looks a lot like Jimi himself.
@minijimi03 -- white dudes aint no "hacks" sucka---you ought to thank the whites for providing you the computer upon wwhich you type, running water, electricity (the same electricity that allowed Hendrix to play), refrigeration, etc. etc. White boys and their technology ain't so bad after all.....dig?
this guy is Jimi's Brother??? he's got some hack of a white guy doing the lead parts....brotherly love? More like...'Can't get a job at McDonalds.....what a f**king hack.....
@1RJR If Jimi didnt give it to him while he was alive why would he be giving money to a 60+ year old man? Seriously do the math. The family won the estate in 96. So he would be 48 then..... you dont have any money, job, investments, property by 48?
i think its really fucked up how his family screwed leon out of the will for jimi's music..janie and the other one were blowing all the money on their selves and takin cuts...leon is a good musician its just a shame people always critique him because of jimi...kinda like how people think julian lennon is tryin to look like and sound like his dad..they both cant help it,let them be their selves and judge them on them,not in a shadow!
yeah your right but it just sucks that jimi's family is going through this dispute and all for money but it is true though janie didnt give leon his share of the money
@tatethompson1234 Good musician? I dont think we were listening to the right video. Leon screwed himself man. There is no excuse for a 60+ year old man to be in and out of rehab or wait his whole life for a will without wanting to work for the company from the start. If your 60+ and havent figured it out yet there is a problem.
I think its cool..... Hell a lot of musicians do tributes who are no relation to Jimi, so whats the big deal. Keep on keepin on Leon....................
well i do and fair fucks to be able to play guitar to your brothers music all those years later,who the fuck are you anyway,never heard of you and will never need to,you little fuck!!!!
Give the man some credit, he is going out there not as a professional guitar player and playing one of his brothers many classics, he is paying tribute to his brother and there is nothing wrong with that.
No way!!! Jimi would smile and be proud and happy that Leon is playing guitar now too. If Jimi would be alive today he would support Leon all the way. Leon doesn't play guitar that long, he's still a 'student' and he's making a lot of progress, he's bold enough to go out and play and learn along the way.
What ev. The only reason anyone even looks at this is because he's a "Hendrix" Jimi was a legend, and in my opinion the most exiciting and talented guitar player ever.Maybe he should pay tribute in a different way, like painting or something, there is nothing good about what he's doing here.
if your gonna play guitar, as a career, you dont learn along the way, a kid doestn pick up the guitar and says hes a superstar and learn along the way. your good when you start off, and then you get better. this guys is riding off jimi and its sad
Oh yes he was!!! Leon was playing lead! You watch the clip again. The first part of the solo is played by Stefen starting at 2:12, but the second part of the solo starting at 2:47, was taken over by Leon and is played by Leon himself.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Who's giving me a thumb down here? If you don't agree with what I said, then say so, so I can respond. He doesn't play the solo part? Or that isn't the same as playing lead? What..
For the record, i publicly admit to having trouble with my E string tuner during this song. In case our FORMER "pr" person "Starshine", who's airing disappointment about being let go of by the band wants to keep baggin' on my playing.
On a side note, I was on 2 darvocet pain killer id never had before. 2 wisdom teeth tearin' me up. VERY strong, WoOoOozZy~ More challenging than "groovy". No matter what the crowd sounded cool with it.
Thanks Bonnie. Yes, Leon has a huge heart and wants to make as many people happy as he can. My brother, my mom keeps telling him, "son you just a worn out eddie van halen is all you are" but he loudly play a marshall and kramer exactly like eddie and smiling and a laughing and high on life.
Leon is ok it is the people around him that make him look bad, Leon has a huge heart and wants to make as many people happy as he can.
He is a father of 9 and grand dad of many.
I don't care for Stefen Isaac the rhythm player his is a moody baby, wants everything does nothing, he was a pain in the ass and no talent that I can see when I worked for the band Leon,Ronnie and Neil were a joy and nice to be around.
I wont tolerate my name coming out of your mouth after the foul taste you left in ours. You were LEGALLY warned by Leon and his girlfriend to cease all slander about us. As far as Neil, Leon and myself, you had to go. You attempted to pit people against one another when you couldnt control grown men. It didnt serve the music.

worthy footnote: moody babies leave personal grievance comments on youtube. I never have been asked to leave this band which seems to have escaped you. You had a position around here because I asked to bring you on to help "us". Your position began as volunteer assistance and you took far more reach than anyone cared for you to. Hence, "FORMER".
to blackdude57, you dont know what you are talking about when shooting your mouth off about something you don't have a clue about when dealing with Leon hendrix.Hes the most giving, loyal, person i know, creative genius with his own sound and style.Before you cast the 1st stone go to a mirror, point a finger at yourself, you will have 3 more fingers pointing back atcha!
Especially when the person who got the legacy is not even black. If Jimi was a poor black guy.. i doubt she would want to call him brother. Read some jimi books blackdude57.Lols
Blackdude57, you got this all wrong. Leon was not jealous of Jimi, Jimi loved his little brother and Leon worshipped Jimi. I would've been resentful too, if a non blood relative came in and took over my brother's shit.
You have to think about this, blackdude57. Leon got cheated out of the Jimi Hendrix legacy. Janie, the "wicked" step sister, re-wrote the will and Leon and his children don't get a dime. Janie also used her step father, Al Hendrix, because he was an infirm and a figurehead.
I work with him in our band. The right he thinks he has? How about the fact every day he wakes up and he his last name is Hendrix? Try ONE DAY in his shoes and you would be floored at how normal the guy is and at the same time how he's handled all the energy that has come his way from people on this earth due to the reverence for his brother. Youve got NO CLUE what you are talking about in "real time" terms. You know Leon Hendrix like I know people on a bus when it drives by w3rd-
Hey Andy, this is Stefen Isaac (guitar) with the Leon Hendrix Mysterience here writing you... we would like to obtain a copy of this show, we have all sorts of people come to shows and dont stop them from taping but never manage copies of anything for our own posterity. It would be appreciated by Leon Hendrix, Neil Kirkland and myself so much. Ronnie is your cousin isnt he? Something like that I caught somewhere. Contact me via this Youtube links email if you would! THANKS MAN!
