Jimi hendrix in Brighton

[NORTHSORROW]

i have seen him in Bern buskers 2011 with his band

[synthesizer301]

sounds nice & sweet : )

[RedWolf3487]

I would pay everything in my wallet to see him.

[zecrhe]

WHERE DOES HE GET THAT SHIRT????

[Abz90L]

fucking hell,hes wicked

[Silshaw]

sound. sound... sound.....brill - dare I busk again. We'll be on the look out for this dude.

[theuglyhairmonster2]

This guys name is asep stone, and he really thinks he's Hendrix lol

[Harrysound]

God the comments here are like American Idol judges.....this is a busker.

A pretty damn good one too.

Hail to all Hendrix lovers.

[TeknikAlity34]

If he doesn't already have one

[TeknikAlity34]

SOMEONE GET THIS GUY A RECORD DEAL. SERIOUSLY.

WE NEED MORE MUSICIANS LIKE THIS.

[VoodooChildsReturn]

Good player!

[MrKrownRoyale]

great vid

[fevershorty]

this guy can play the blues

[yatah]

@fevershorty He sure knows how to flash off with the pentatonic scale. I'm affraid playing the blues is much harder than that though.

Props to him for playing without someone holding the beat anyway. It's very hard to play a coherent solo when you don't have a bass/drum player to keep you in line.

[willmonettecoolobout]

jimi was a left handed guitarist

[mw94533]

Thanks for posting,.. I really like his style of blues,.. feels GOOOOD!

Good capture!

[willy346]

I knew it, he's still alive!!

[Farris287]

boo... gone wit that. u aint hendrix..

[zionwhipple]

nice

[drkbruce]

he looks like Santana playing Woodstock but sings like Hendrinx!

[k0stil]

he doesn`t look like Hendrix a lot , put he plays amazingly.

he looks like Santana

[modjias]

Oh shit! He plays amazing!

[Kyocera234]

yeah, definately good, he sounds like hendrix in voice and guitar amazing.

[entropydave]

He's using a Roland microcube. I went and bought one after hearing him!

[ETGuitarist]

What amp is this guy using?

[entropydave]

Alet1032! Thanks for your kindest words!! You get it, you truly do!!

You have made my day!!

[bonscottrusxxx]

@RastafariPoet I agree with you so much, you can see guitarists on the street, like where I live near Cardiff, wales, I see talented people on the streetasking for change when they, with talent like they have, should be living the high life instead of the so called Rock stars that cover our TVswith crap and sound it too.

[alet1032]

ahahah, i'm from italy and i was there in brighton that day for study-holiday and i sow him...it's a funny surprise to see this video on youtube!

thank you guy,this is a precious gift ;-)

[trustratplaya]

cool man

[RastafariPoet]

Tell me.... How is it even possible guitarists like this are out on the street playing for small change. When you much less talented guitarists shooting for music videos and performing in concerts?

[lawlor95]

@RastafariPoet it is because the music scene is all about makin money nowdays instead of being about music... its a real pity to see a talent like this man on the streets and then you have someone like lady gaga who cant sing but because she will look like a right slut in videos n stuff she is a multi millionare... i wish i was born in the 60's when music was at its best

[StratoBlaster420]

@lawlor95 Amen. Popular music has died in America.

[LAO90]

@RastafariPoet  Because todays music is pretty much a beauty contest.

[Carthsgtr]

@RastafariPoet

Hes not that great. There is another ten thousand to take his place. Not that I disagree that he deserves the spotlight ten times more than Bieber or Rihanna.

[GuitarSnipper]

Looks like your having fun in what you were doing here. You played it well. Nice tribute to the legend, Jimi Hendrix.

[entropydave]

Thank you maha! The voice of sensibleness at last!! You get it! You get why I posted the vid of Asep doing what he does best!

[mahatmacote]

It doesn't matter about the Jimi relationship really, or him playing with whatever hand. He's just really good though, not trying to play exactly like JH but something along those lines ...like Jimi might have done jamming or something.

I've seen him on the street, corner of West and Ship Street kind of areas, and he's good to watch, plays nice.

[randyreal6]

Mammy!

[celticghirlxxx]

wow wish i'd seen more of that, he's really good!

[entropydave]

I love the way so many people have noted that Jimi is a lefty and this fellow is not - no shit sherlock!!!

Er... I don't really think that is the point of his playing here, is it?!

[skok65]

Agreed. . . It's amazing that so many guitarists are still being influenced by him over 30 years after his untimely death.

[777Jamez777]

Of course,he is a legend he had played guitar for what 10-20 years??

And no VIRTUOSO today that has devoted his entire live to playing guitar can't do what he did.

He was claimed by the gods as one of them i'm sure of that :)

[RayPFP]

yeah he sounds great , but Jimi played with an upside down strat..

[Stoned1959]

ha ha ha....

[dvon21]

That Roland Microcube is so amazing, I own one myself it's perfect for just playing in your room or bringing it to the street.

[metallicafan25285]

this guy kicks ass but he looks a little less like jimi and a little more like stevie wonder

[molgala]

as alot of people are saying that jimi was a lefty but he could also play right handed

[kcin1004]

well i play right handed, but i 'could' play left handed, would sound like shit though.

[Hendrixking14]

jimi was a lefty

[tssrock]

Jimi was left handed! :D

[arsenalfanforlife]

ive seen clips of him playing both right handed and lefty

[leofender22]

That's crazy tone for that setup! All in the hands man

[FSofty]

Why don't you post the other video then? You can downsize it slightly if you run it through windows moviemaker, to less than a 100mbs.

Still, this one is pretty good too!

[trollgoal]

why were his hands moving very differently from what we were hearing?

[tystratocaster]

lag

[kcin1004]

not really

[pmay222]

miming

[jibrot]

u looks like jimy

[GARYMOORElover]

ok Jimi where does Gary Moore live?

[Benaxel]

YES but Jimi was left handed lol

[BrightonClaudz]

i actually adore this man

[originalname33]

damn, now that I look at this, he looks very much like Leon Hendrix. I honestly thought it was him at first.

[CoreyRobertson2]

jahbibbles you idiot! alot of videos get uploaded out of sync, obviously he was playing, get a brain... how dim is this jahbibbles guy?

[entropydave]

Thank You Corey!!! I tried, I really tried with him but he just wasn't having it! Of course it's out of synch but you can see that he's playing... and anyway I was there! I spoke to Asep, and saw him later that eve at a pub doing a gig!

So thank you!

[GFACE83]

it was way out of sync but good playing man keep it alive!!!

[originalname33]

why did you stop fretting bass notes and chords with your thumb, Jimi???

[zackscruggs]

man talk about replica and playing style

[durpindurper]

lol, some people huh

[entropydave]

wrong opinion again. I have blocked you as you are an idiot.

[jahbibbles]

I have my opinion,... I have the right to have that,....  He wasn't playing there!

Dom ass

[contents99]

you also have the right to be a dumb mother fucker. I live in Brighton and seen the guy play.

[jahbibbles]

You are to funny. time to become wiser than u are now. He isn't playin there!

[entropydave]

Listen Bibbles - shut the f*ck up. Perhaps you should come into Brighton or even google Asep Stone - the bloke who's playing and you know ewhat you may learn something - but seriously I doubt as you are the classic f*ckwit.

Any more bollocks from you and I'll delete you.

Twat

[durpindurper]

he is playing its just not in sync

[entropydave]

That's very possible - recorded on my digital camera - glad someone here has got a brain.

[jahbibbles]

that dude isn't playing there. I play guitar and see when it is real or fake.

[entropydave]

Oh god another idiot. Listen dude, learn to play the guitar...I was there and I filmed it. he often does gigs in Brighton (Asep Stone's the name)

Of course he's playing... why would I film him? Go away and practice.

[jahbibbles]

He isn't playing.

I watched he's timing verry well while i listened to those real blues notes.

I play to long to buy this lie.

Ooh and nobody is an idiot! don's use that word again!!!!!!!!!

[entropydave]

You are an idiot. I've seen this guy play loadsa times here - don't tell me he's not playing - I was there! I talked to him - he showed me licks! Don't keep shouting stuff you know obviously know nowt about! That's what makes you an idiot

[jahbibbles]

I say don't use that word.

U are a stuppid dum ass fuck to think he's playing there. go play with your one inch dick u bubble-head. And don't answer again, u are verry boring!

[angel1106]

dumb-ass just because the audio doesn't follow the video doesn't mean he doesn't play you retard, jahbibbles maybe you do play guitar, But you need to get your eyes checked, along with your common sense, you're a fucking moron, the guy saw it on the streets,you can hear him fucking talk into the camera, man, bubble head? what the fuck kind of insult is that? God damn jerkwad get the fuck outa youtube, we don't need trash like you fucknut

[MassLisby]

jimi has a left hand guitar.. on danish "spænd hjælmen!"

[celso91]

how stupid are u people to think that this is jimi

[entropydave]

You are such an idiot... obviously never heard of a lookalike.

Twat.

[voodoochile9547]

oh cool, oh wait, this isn't jimi

[fatadam16]

[oasisMikeGallagher]

He's Alivee!

[dillemabass]

[Sh3pardMelody]

[entropydave]

What looks fake?! He's well known in Brighton and he is stunningly good!

[OGamerO7]

Jimi Hendrix was left-handed you plum

[darkvallee]

yeah sure it's hendrix playing right side...

[stylist100]

I see this guy around Brighton all the time and he's the bollocks, nice bloke too. He packs out alot bars in Brighton so full you can't even get in the door!.

[Ayumimama]

Man, that Jimi Hendrix looks down and out on his luck! Maybe that's what he'd look like if he had never went to England with Chas Chandler!

[entropydave]

I hope that Asep is seeing these positive comments! he is so good, man!

[21lloyd12]

if he wanted be hendrix he would play left handed but still awsome

[Wooodstock69]

This is really the best and most original hendrix cover i've seen on youtube.. and i've seen a lot. Wish I could meet this guy ones!

[xxfroobxx]

In Brighton, just off Churchill square... and yes, he IS that good!

Hi name is Asep Stone and he has played wit hthe remaining members of the Hendrix band in years gone by... that must have been a cool sight!

[mcookrowe]

[Jowsh]

[micearenice]

just cause he plays on the street dosnt mean hes poor. he just might like to play in public...

[seanyinabox]

this guy plays righty! wtf? deff not jimi!

[oscoe]

This guy is Asep Stone. He's great, great guitarist and great bloke. Look up his other clips and go see him live with his band if you get chance. Hes good.

[entropydave]

Yep,Asep's the name! I agree - a lovely guy - so enjoy watching him play - he also gives guitar lessons - just awaiting until I a bit more settled and then I'm gonna pay for an hour or 10!

Always see him when I come back from a long walk into town on the weekend with one of my kids - we stop on the way the Chuchill square... never can pay him - ALWAYS spent out by the time we are heading home -

Always so nice to see Asep playing the way I always wanted to! and my boys are impressed too!

[mr0ska]

he's good but he plays very good, but is a different style then jimi so i wouldnt say he sounds like him, doesnt look like much him either... hes just black and has a fro. still a cool guitarist to watch so thanks for posting.

[urik]

He's great! Bloody awesome.

[MRJimcoMustache]

he doesnt look like hendrix

[robindorf55]

Jimi plays "Left Handed Dumbass". DUH!

[entropydave]

really? I didn't know that!

You are so smart.

[TFTB55]

u idiot that not jimi hendrix! jimi is left handed and plays a right handed stratocaster

[FootballFan13]

^^^No shit, dumbass.

[CherryBurstLesPaul]

and even if this guy was left handed, it still couldn't be Jimi. Because... JIMI IS DEAD! :S

[MrkCmblz]

Plus jimi doesn't work in the street

[yehan44bro]

awsome blues

[entropydave]

Just seen him and his BAnd in the Lion & Lobster - guy's a bloody genius! May have missed Hendrix the first time around but seeing this guy made up for it! remarkable!! Bloody remarkable!

[ckd1]

man this guys great

[deepsouth81]

guys got too much to comment. get back to work. never enough hendrix in this world, any time

[waxtin]

Man, this cat rocks!!! Love his licks

[kurtcobaininheaven19]

cool!

[gibsonman22]

Trust me Kurt Cobain, is not in heaven ...

[entropydave]

Fair point. As I said I have only heard/seen him twice ever in Brighton - once there and once by the HSBC in North str. But then I only get into town on weekends.

Antithetic or not - he is still IMHO very very talented and I would rather do what he can do than what I can do on my Les Paul and my Strat believe me! At least his style is recognisable!

[martwrongun]

(Posted as an additional to the previous comment because of post length restrictions.) I also feel that this type of impersonation is the antithesis of everything Hendrix was achieving with his music in the first place; that of expression and improvisation, turning guitar music on its head at a time of musical invention.

[entropydave]

It was not your overall objection to hiss playing that was egregious - t was a certain turn of phrase you used. I can understand where you are coming from and working near by it can be annoying - but from my perspective and a pretty crap-tastic guitarist, you have to admit he does Hendrix very very well indeed.

[martwrongun]

For the first five minutes I heard him (about six months ago), I would have admitted that he "does" Hendrix quite well. However, so extreme is the effect of his four hour stints of widdling that he's actually completely ruined Hendrix's music for me. I can't imagine enjoying his recordings for quite some time. I doubt even Hendrix played his own music quote so repetitively.

[entropydave]

That's much better - there were just some terms you used that were totally egregious and I didn't like. I've not seen him around Brighton that much and I'm in town every weekend and have only seen him twice.

Have you actually asked him to move on?

[entropydave]

No, just unecessarily perjorative. So I deleted it. If you have an issue with the musician then address it to him.

[FrankenBeenz]

you gots to be kidding? the music didn't even go with his fingers ... the guys a clown .. Jimi was no clown

[entropydave]

er - believe me - he's no clown. any sync probs is my camera or your feed - I watched this guy for 1/2 an hour and he just was superb. If you can't post anything positive then don't bother. I was there, you were not.

[kms007]

wow - that guy plays and sounds like Jimi. cool!
