To be honest I think that Andres Segovia is (was) a better guitar player than Hendrix.I kinda' think that Hendrix is over rated,Yes he was good but not as great as people say..:/ No offense to Hendrix fans.
When we read diaries or quotes written during passionate or emotional inspirations. People like here, try to hold you to it as if these words summed up Jimi as a whole. There is plenty of recorded quotes that contradict these right from his own lips. What ever went on between him and his posse remained personal and he never let anybody break them up though they tried. That's respect and loyalty. People never looked at him as a clown and like it or not, he will forever be a rock star.
71,000 views?!?!?!?! BLASPHEMOUS VEVO!! You support every other artist but not one of the greatest legends to ever be born on this earth. Jimi deserves better.
You got to under stand the time, the place, and the electric in the air in the late sixity,lot of shit happing. I was their I rember .The peace movement. against the vietman war the drugs that were floating around,, A fucking man on the moon in 69. and the revolution in the air with all us hippies. and the music of Jimi hendrix was just the greatest guitar player we ever heard I was only 12 at the time. I miss you JIMI
@bksvaluemenu i hope you get 100,000,000 thumbs up. it doesn't matter if he doesn't like jimi, he just needs to recognize that he is still an amazing guitar player
behind all his ragin music was a very gentle soul. which the likes we're not likely to see again. Hearing his voice on the narrative makes me feel he was caught up in the turbalant times of the 60's. He once said he wished he had never played w/his teeth/ behind his back, for that was really not what he was about. I have never heard anyone else paint colors as well with there music. I loved him in 67 & I love him now. nothing's changed.
@anthonydaddy123 Everyone you just mentioned in your comment sucks ass. So please, stop with the "you say this and i say that" bullshit, its fucking annoying. There is no comparison between todays crap and the awesome music of the past.
Great :)You say Justin Bieber I say 30 Seconds to Mars You say Miley Cyrus I say trapt You say T-pain I say drowning pool You say Flowers I say Metallica You say Pink I say three days grace You say Hannah Montana I fucking punch you in the face 92% of teenagers have turned to Hip Hop and Pop. If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music, copy and paste this message to another 5 videos. DON'T LET THE SPIRIT OF ROCK DIE P.S thumbs up if you agreed ;D
I don't know if the world needed yet another Hendrix documentary, but it was for public TV, part of the box set, and a pretty straightforward story of his life. Bootsy did a good job reading from Jimi's words and interviews. I still love the first documentary, though.
"Noel is definitely out" It felt so good to hear those words. Jimi knew what he was talking about when he picked up Cox. Those two were a much better match.
The bitch who put this ad and vid together should be taken out into an ally, doused w/ gasoline, lit on fire and then shot in the head after he flames out
jimi is probably looking down from heaven right now and thinking "wow, I don't want my music ran by some corporate asshole's who don't give a damn what real music is about. If i wanted it to be like this, I would have made fake beats from a drum machine and electronically altered my voice." Why does the U.S. gotta be about making a fuckin dollar? Vevo you are truly blowing the high that we get from this music. We were here first..now fucking leave you corporate money rat holing fucks!
This is Pathetic !!! I swear, there just gonna take it all until no one can remember what Jimi or any of these guys were really playing and talking about.
if youre referring to that girl on the left of the vid post, with the purple hair ? that is Katy Perry, some dolt girl that some claim has musical talent?
I know, its sad huh? It's like Selena and Tupac and Elvis more money earned after death than alive. but I wonder who's collecting all the cash on the rights to Jimi's music? He wasn't married and he didn't have any kids (?) so who owns is music now?
@RMJ92 janie hendrix. his wicked step sister (jimi met her when she was 6 for a very brief period) who in the 90's with Jimi's dad, her step dad, sued capital? records for the rights to all jimi music and likeness and won. Afterward she convinced her step dad that he should basically ostracize the rest of his family (except a cousin) and she could run the business, then he died. Now she is the owner. Paul Allen funded their original lawsuit against the record company, I wonder if he is happy now
Dear Vevo, Let me start by saying get your corporate asses off YouTube! Ever since these big companies started paying off YouTube so they could post their freaking videos we can't post ours. We are flagged for infringement every time we include a song we like in our videos.
This is YOUtube, the place where we can post OUR videos. If we wanted to listen to music from you wed go to your damn website.To all people who want greedy corporates gone copy and paste this on Vevo shit.
true, Jimi didnt want to be a rock star. its sad though, since he died his music has been manipulated by companies attempting to put him into that catagory.
Are these Jimi quotes from a book? How amazing that this man created virtually all of his great music by age 26, the majority of it by 25, & much of it at 24. The way most young people perform now is truly childish by comparison.
I don't mean to shift the subject, but I can't help it, talking about young musicians. I totally agree, and I'm nearing 20. I know a lot of guys my age who can rush through scales, but have never tried to write a song. They're too content with covering '80s bands and modern rock. Don't they pay attention the greats like Hendrix (as you said), Jimmy Page (playing skiffle at age 14) or John Frusciante (who joined became a Chili Peppers when he was fucking 18)!? Damnit.
@lazur1 No this isn't from a book it's archives from a documentary from the BIO channel and it's in his own narrative. The movie is called Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Child. I highly suggest it. You do have a great point I'm not usually one to stareotype but it's hard to find people that are how old he was actually sing about things that talk to people.
@lazur1 bio on the biography channel it was called jimi hendrix voodoo child told from his perspective the entire 2 hours is was really good soo ya im guessin its his own quotes haha
@lazur1 PLUS, He grew up a black left handed guitarist in the 60s, Nothing compared to these people today with their, arranged lessons and metalcore shit.
