Tommy Chong on Jimi Hendrix

[BucksStudent]

Weird, because Jimi was briefly in a band with Chong before either got big.

[unionrdr]

Yeah,the 60's & 70's were some wild times. Both good & bad. All the social upheaval & rioting,etc. Like Dillon said,"the times they are a changin". They sure were. But what good times we could have in those days. Some things you can't do now. Stupid damn bleeding heart fools & they're greedy,fortune seeking politicians. They took things to far in the wrong direction to protect profits on manufactured drugs & stuff. Natural was out for them.,

[pedonbio]

Jimi wasn't "stationed" in Seattle; he was born here and went thru high school here. The funny thing is that Seattle was so racist, you can't find him mentioned in the archives of the local papers except for a columnist named Emmett Watson.

[AndyTaylor]

@2boddah Huh!? Are you Celebrating 4/20 Day today?

[SHARJO23]

He is 72. I must say, he looks extremely young for his age!

[AndyTaylor]

@SHARJO23 He looks pretty much the same except for the grey, hits the best of us.

[dannyhood66]

Fucking cool! God i wish noel had been there at the party with his movie camera..Or anyone with that same set up whatever..

[AndyTaylor]

@dannyhood66 Can imagine if FB, Youtube or Twitter existed back then, we'd have killer video!!

[dannyhood66]

@AndyTaylor Yeah no shit..Exactly!

[AndyTaylor]

Hey Bobo - There are more videos on different subjects that Tommy talked about plus a full audio file of the segment. - He had been on the show a few times and as always a great guest however, this is not the interview he did after the raid. That was at our other studios but again, I do have that audio. Maybe I'll post it up here since he wrote about it.

[bobombmarley]

ahh so this is the interview he did after the raid huh? he mentioned this interview in his book..... is there a full video? or is this it? =]

[corpusc]

" there was nobody in the club.... it was hempty "

[AndyTaylor]

[dumbtrooper]

i love you chong legalize it for the world dont give up

[SergeantPepper8]

Having Jimi Hendrix enter the room that you are in IS the next best thing to seeing God walk in.

[sheldonsouray444444]

My 2 Idols come together on stage...what i sight that would be...I LOVE HENDRIX R.I.P!!!!!

[420demon97]

@BoyGotBlazed420 you are totallly fuckin right

[BoyGotBlazed420]

jimi Hendrix didnt overdose he was drowned with wine. no matter how high u are u wont drown urself. i believe he was killed!!!

[darylmein]

he didnt drown nor was he killed. He asphyxiated, which means he choked to death on his own vomit

[BoyGotBlazed420]

yeah he chocked on his own vomit which is pretty much drowning but the autopsy showed that he had about a gallon of red wine in his system. which doesnt make sense.

[mikeyaaa]

@BoyGotBlazed420 He wasn't just drunk on wine, he had also taken sleeping pills so that he most likely why he didn't wake up when he started choking.

what about john Bonham? was he killed as well?

[BoyGotBlazed420]

dont have a clue who john bonham is. sorry. but do u really think that sleeping pills can make it so u wont know your choking. if people can be knocked out and wake up by cold water i think u can be awaken by choking

[mikeyaaa]

c'mon, the drummer for Led Zeppelin.

[BoyGotBlazed420]

sorry not a big fan of led zepplin but when i listened to led the drumming wasnt the greatest. but please inform me on how he died

[mikeyaaa]

well that is your opinion, which you are entitled to as always. But many people would agree John Bonham was one of the best drummers, many drummers look up to him. And he got too drunk one night, fell asleep, vomited and choked and died.

[BoyGotBlazed420]

im not dissing im just saying the drums didnt stand out to me. but anyway if u've had a hangover u know once u pass out/ fall asleep and . i just dont see how u can choke on your own vomit unless some1 killed u or cause for u to choke on it

[mikeyaaa]

well it happened. I guess I can see where you are coming from with your theories about a possible murder plot. But this doesn't just happen to famous people, there are hundreds of reports over the years with hospitals and in the medical field that say, yes you can die from choking on vomit in your sleep. Science will say it is possible.

Cheers!

[BoyGotBlazed420]

well ok peace

[Chronepsis5]

ive actually read somthin that suports your therry for homicide but its pure bullshit the same publication also says John Bonam was a skins master.go listen to Zepplin. Do it now you tube Moby Dick.

[Chronepsis5]

dude dont make give your comment a thumbs down i dont wanna do that go blaze a fat one and listen to some zepplin damit its the best freaken band there ever was dont make me write another run on sentence with no abreviations listen to Zepplin 2 cover to cover and tell me its not awsome cum on.

[BoyGotBlazed420]

@Chronepsis5 i've listened to them b4 they just arent for me and the singers voice annoys me in a way but its a opinion so dont even try to argue it

[poofythebassplayer21]

omg not only did he party with jimi jimi played bass damn i wish i wulda seen dat i bet he was amazing on da bass

[MonsterJackson]

jimi hendrix was murdered!

[XB0XFR34K]

do you know a thing about hendrix?

he died the same way Bon scott from AC DC died

they overdosed, threw up(while lying down)

and the vomit clogged there throat litteraly drowning himself

[poofythebassplayer21]

@MonsterJackson people need to quit thumbs downing u cuz its true he was mudered by his manager and gf so ur true these dumbasses are hendrix posers

[ajsledzep]

hedrix was a talented man,,

and he destroyed himself

end of story

[cavemanfarts]

He didn't destroy himself. You obviously haven't read anything about him. Just the fact that he "overdosed".

[ajsledzep]

jimi overdose sounds like self destruction to me,,,,

[poofythebassplayer21]

@ajsledzep fuck you he changed the world let stoners be stoners

[TheP0e]

fuckin awesome. hendrix was a god

[WhalexNip]

That's one of the coolest stories I have ever heard.

[tunabone]

[ElmoLewiss]

yeah you're a good friend of "kieth richerds" , and im the next Pope.

[steveoah]

That's my Russian uncle from Asbury Park you are doubting. As the future Pontiff, I'm sure your apology is forthcoming.

[elite1980s]

So Tommy tought Jimmy a few things during the 60's. Tommy Chong we're not WORTHY!!!!!!!!!

[ivanahumpalot420]

Great Canadian role model =).

[seabass0591]

:')

[tunabone]

your the man tunabone! nice to see you after allmost 30 years!

[victoria59]

lol

[Loz1234567]

Does anyone else get extremely jealous when listening to people talking about living in the 60's? I'd have loved to have experienced it rather than the boring time we live in now.

[Silveryback]

@Loz1234567 I absolutely know what you mean... My parents talk about how kick ass it was back then and all. Yeah, nowadays are fucking boring man, I totally agree, man. Here's one little loop-hole though; Humboldt, CA (very known for their weed) is like a flashback to the 60's I'd heard, and I went there and it is fucking hippie central, haha. Not just the people, but the mindset. So awesome. I'm gonna be moving there soon :)

[Loz1234567]

I'd give my left testicle to Jesus if I could have a smoke with Tommy and Jimi.

[rainbowrandolph91]

chong*

[rainbowrandolph91]

that would be unbelievable ching and hendrix performing together

[dragonshinobi312]

A movie?!

DO IT!!! =]

[psychoactivepaper]

Damn the music at the end. Not only is it no good but I cant hear Tommy!!

[quintin318]

are you saying jimi sucks?????????????????????????­?? if you are, you don't know SHIT about music, he (by "association") created what we have today.

[psychoactivepaper]

wow are you illiterate? When in my post did I mention in ANY way Hendrix sucking? In fact I idolize him so shut the fuck up please

[quintin318]

ok first of all cool.... i am from a town which people are very stupid and nobody knows who hendrix is, at all... not even anything.... and second of all u said "Damn the music at the end. Not only is it no good but I cant hear Tommy!" and thirdly i got 2 hours of sleep so yeah im sorry if i offended you er something

[psychoactivepaper]

I said the damn music at the end I cant hear tommy chong probably cuz my computer randomly played music and i thought it was on the video lol. No no harm done its just when someone says I dont appreciate the man I idolize and have met (in a dream) I get abit defensive lol

[metalliczombie]

That is fucking sweet. Chong is cool.
