@31luckyjay lol bro he played killing room floor and played with his teeth an behind his back head under his legs to show eric that he was just as good, he loved playing music but this guy did an awful job at trying to capture the esscence of jimis music like a real movie does what like jaquoein phoniex did with johnny cash an witherspoon did with carter he didnt catch that lol
You know you guys talk alot of mess.You have alot of judgements and you werent there and I think Wood Harris did good at playing hendrix. He cant be like the real hendix he has to have his own way and style.
Good ..BUT ... HERE IS WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.. FROM Cream's manager: Hendrix went all out, blew everyone away and Clapton slipped off stage he was so floored... He tried to light a cigarette, but his hands were shaking so much he could not do it alone. You could say he was impressed.
Everybody keeps complaining about the acting. What the hell did y'all expect? It's a movie made for the small screen!! I think Wood Harris did a good job with what he had to work with. So did Billy Zane.
Ok I guess I agree with everyone this film could of been better I think they just should have taken a little been more time time and focused on finding as much about jimi the man instead of just jimi the musician
freakin chas chandler don't even have a geordie accent ! Man this is EMBARRASSING! A freakin insult to the master. AND he played Killin floor when he went to see Clapton - not this . fuckin shit.
HAHAHAHA!!!! The guy who played Clapton is 10 times better looking, but he looks nothing like eric. The Other guy didn't look like Jack Bruce Neither. The other Guy did look kinda like ginger baker, but thats probably only because he had the red hair like em.
@RandomRiff27 Dude you obviously don't have single clue how hard is for a director to get the movie in the right context. Plus the voice of this guy is warmer than jimi's so a wild performance would've been messy. If you to see exactly how it happened go watch a documentary about him. I love Jimi don't get me wrong but this movie is purely about the way Jimi got so many succes in his life. Minding all the details would make every biography movie crappy.
didnt they both play killing floor? And why is hendrix using wah wah, this is too early in his career for wah wah. Isnt Hendrix supposed to outshine Clapton, I don't see that happening.
This was a LIE, y'all talkin' about the acting...the STORY is terrible...cuz it's a fucking LIE. Eric Clapton left the stage like a little BITCH. I wonder why they changed this part of this man's life?!???!? Like we ALL don't know.
man this is so horrible, i don't care if its low budget, for one thing that singer ain't black, second jimi clearly only plays in one place throughout the movie, and come on i don't think jimi thought he was chosen to be some music messiah
It would have been awesome if Hendrix joined Cream and they stayed together for a good while.The music they would have made would have been amazing.They would have been the greatest hard rock band ever.It probably would not ahve worked out because Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker have huge egos and being in a band with someone as great or better than them would have been intolerable to them.Being in a band with Eric was hard for them.Eric could have handled being in a band with an equal.
Eric was in the middle of a drug induced depression at that time where he stayed in his house and did heroin when Hendrix died.The only people he saw during this time were George Harrison and Pete Townsend.The death of Hendrix,Duane Alman and his grandfather made it worse.Pete Townsend actually got Eric cleaned up.
Dx AFRO DRAMA. Mitch Had no afro to start out with! And I thought Eric Clapton had one in 66, Mitch only had an afro becuase of his perm he got in 67!
@skizmsucks23 It sounds a bit like Cream's song Strange Brew on the album Disraeli Gears along with other songs on that album that you may know like Sunshine of Your Love
What a bunch of BullShit! Clapton walked of the stage because he had no idea as to what in the hell Jimi Hendrix was doing, and he couldn't keep up with him. In reality Jimi started playing the old Howling Wolf classic: killing floor. Which sounds nothing like this crap that they're playing here. Go and watch-here on youtube-Jimi Hendrix killed eric clapton and you'll see what I'm talking about.
hey "LithiumBoyxD" just a suggestion you could create a quickist from part one to part eleven and save it. Then you could watch it when you wanted to thats what I did. p.s I hope that helped :)
@bigdatut are you sure. Look at the interviews of him and tell me that Hendrix was not really much of a laid-back person. In those days, every one was on LSD you know.
They almost shouldn't have bothered trying to recreate the performances, because they are crap, and they sound nothing like Hendrix or Clapton. And, I have read a number of accounts of the first time Jimi met Eric and jammed with Cream, and none of them said anything about them arguing about it. The truth is interesting enough for me.
@cumulo25 There was a new movie made with Andre 3000 playing Hendrix (to be released 2012), with Andre "actually" playing the guitar (unlike in this movie where he is just standing around with a guitar in his hand), but the Jimi Hendrix estate refused to license Jimi's music for the film, or for any film!
@cumulo25 Wood Harris (the guy playing Jimi) is actually a great actor, the producers/directors/staff of this film did a terrible job setting up the shots and handling the filming in general and no matter who was playing Jimi they would still have put them in ridiculous outfits, on an over-lit stage, and do all types of off-balance, weird-angle shots.....
and Chandler didnt change his name Jimi did, it said in a biography that Jimi always played around with names and changed them and said that he did it himself, they really shouldve made sure they were ready before making a movie about an epic story hopefully when they have more realistic dialogue and actors theyll be able to honor Hendrix
well.. it's more a jam than a song, but it's more like strange brew or lawdy mama (same song, just the lyrics are different and the lead guitar is a little different as well) = )
I love the fact that in the jam with cream hendrix is using a wah pedal, even though, he never used a wah pedal until '67, and Clapton was a couple steps ahead of Hendrix on the wah, when he played it on "Tales of Brave Ulysses".
He can be a true fan and still enjoy the movie. Just cause he likes it doesn't mean he doesn't know about Jimi, and anyways, who said you have to about all the details in Hendrix's life to be a fan of his. It's all about the music. I don't think Jimi would be the way you are- judging people about if they're a fan or not. He wanted to share his music with everybody, who are you to judge if he is a fan or not?
my point was that this is not an accurate movie it has lots of flaws, and if u cant recognize this i just dont think u are a true fan of his work.. this movie makes jimi seem greedy and selfish.. that's my point.. he was saying this is a great movie.. but in fact its an insult to Hendrix.. much like Oliver stone's The doors. how it portrayed Jim Morrison.. awful.
You know what, you're right. I wouldn't say it's awful, I think it's pretty entertaining, but it is an insult. I think you can still be a fan of his music if you don't understand the flaws in this film, but maybe not a true fan of the man himself. When I started listening to Hendrix I didn't know shit about him for a few months even though I loved his music like no other.
But you're right about the portrayal thing and the facts being wrong. I mean they have him playing a rightside up strat!
And I don't know what it is with Stone's movies but he always represents musicians as conceited rock star junkies that only care about the money, partying, and the women. I mean really the way Val Kilmer played Morrison was spot on the way he looked, sounded, and carried himself, but the way Stone made him look was a huge insult. The man was a nice guy, just because me messed around with some drugs and women doesn't make him a horrible, arrogant person. I mean, honestly, Stone is stupid.
yep yep. i have yet to see Nixon which is also directed by stone.. i heard it was bad.. anyway i agree with val kilmers acting he looked sounded like him, but stone fucked it up.. that's why ray manzarek and john densmore did not agree with the movie. there is a new one out its call "When you're strange" its a documentary well done played by the real deal..( i mean Morrison himself and the rest of the crew) the gathered rare non seen clips and made the documentary
i liked the movie and all, but im just saying it could have been alot better, ALOT
