Jimi Hendrix 1

Jimi Hendrix
Born: Johnny Allen Hendrix on November 27, 1942, in Seattle, WA, USA
Died: September 18, 1970 in London, England
Years Performed: 1963 - 1970

"After one more chorus, he presses his guitar against his stack of amplifiers,
feedback screaming, and dry-humps the back of the guitar.
He slips out of the strap and drops to his knees, the guitar flat on the stage,
and sprays lighter fluid over the face of the instrument.
Bending down, he gives the guitar one quick kiss goodbye and ignites the fluid.
Flames dance in front of him.
His fingers flutter encouragement.
He grabs the flaming Fender by the neck and breaks it apart on the stag, winging it wildly.
The pieces are discarded-burnt offerings- into the audience as he staggers off the stage and into history.
Jimi Hendrix has played the Monterey Pop Festival."

-Joel Selvin, Monterey Pop-

If there ever was a shooting star, it was Jimi Hendrix. In the four short years that he was a superstar, he did more with the electric guitar than any other guitarist before or after him ever would. He could get feedback to come out of his instrument in ways nobody else could, and there truly wasn't a greater player, either. He would play behind his back and with his teeth, and even set his guitar on fire. But as some of his closest friends have noted, as great and as wild as he played live in front of thousands, his playing offstage to friends was even more awesome.

Hendrix recorded a massive amount of unreleased studio material during his lifetime. Much of this (as well as entire live concerts) was issued posthumously. There were many claims placed on his estate, including one by his later to be legally recognized young son. After a lengthy legal dispute, the rights to Hendrix's estate, including all of his recordings, was turned over to Al Hendrix, the guitarist's father, in July of 1995. It was after this that many of the better posthumous albums were released, minus the 1970s overdubs use on some earlier releases. Hendrix's family would also launch Dagger Records, an authorized bootleg label to supply hardcore fans with material that would be of limited commercial appeal, including several live concerts and a collection of studio jams and demos called Morning Symphony Ideas.

Even to this day, Jimi Hendrix is still rightfully known as the greatest player to ever lay his hands on a guitar.

3rd Stone From The Sun
 by Jimi Hendrix

star fleet to scout ship, please give your position. over
i am in orbit around the third planet from the star called the sun. over
you mean its the earth? over.
Positive. it is know to have some form of intelligent species. over
i think we should take a look.

Strange beautiful grass of green
With your majestic silken seas
Your mysterious mountains
I wish to see closer
May I land my kinky machine

Although your world wonders me
With you majestic superior crackling hen
Your people I do not understand
So to you I wish to put and end
And youll never hear surf music again
