Looks like it, but he sure didn't get his dad's good looks, did he? LOL
Jeez...
It's Wilson Pickett.
There's no such thing. You mean "whammy bar", a colloquialism for the tremolo bar. The wah-wah is an effects pedal. Hendrix used one a fair amount, but he wasn't completely consumed by it (like, say, Metallica's Kirk Hammett......man drives me nuts; can't seem to play a lead without using one).
Any narcotic is best injected in the mainline vein inside your elbow....the one the nurse thumps when drawing blood
Register blood....draw back plunger and fire away....
If one must that is.....
Most hospitals either use intramuscular or they take 1-2 minutes to very slowly inject opiates intravenous
No one fires up in their eyelids....
Maybe smaller veins in the limbs when the big one wears out for William Burroughs types
I was there Jackson MS in 67 or 68 as an 11 year old and didnt realize it was Hendrix till Stand Next to my Fire.....he was not booed though
Most if the teeny boppers were simply stunned
Now by the time Jimi died....i still remember it...under the sweetgum tree listening to WJDX 102.9 THE ROCK.....news broke in....on my transistor....they all died that year....Morrison the next year
By 1970 i knew Axis Bold as Love by heart.....i was that little indian brave...
I saw Jimi Hendrix in concert at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Coliseum May 11, 1969.They finished with Voodoo Child
He was very fast.
He asked the crowd to quit coming up to the stage and flashing their flashcubes.
When they didn't, he dedicated the next song with, "some people never learn."
There's ample evidence he was murdered.
A liquid chick from Boulder "Satini" stayed after to give him a lovely parting gift.
What is there now, a Bieber.
Tempus fugit.
damn, i didn't want to know that...
“By the way...that’s not Little Richard in post 1.”
Looks more like Dave from Sam and Dave; but why would they be on the same bill? BTW according to Richard, Jimi was his opening act on many concert tours.
When Hendrix produced Purple Haze in 1967 I knew then I wanted to learn how to play guitar . I traded my motorbike for a Fender Strat and Amp and went to town on it . Three years later I had my own band and I’ve been rockin’ ever since . I was fortunate to see Jimmi four times in concert including at Woodstock which I consider his worse preformance ever . He’s still one of my favorite all time guitar players ever and I still play Purple Haze when I am entertaining at parties .
Little Richard is a hoot. Jimi was just a hired hand when he worked with him. Little Richard never let him do any such thing as open for him. As Jimi tells it, he and the other players would get raked over the coals by LR every time they did the slightest thing to draw attention to themselves onstage.
Jimi didn't make a name for himself until long after he'd left Little Richard and the chitlin circuit. He fronted his first band while he was in New York, from about '64 to '65. It was called Jimmy James and The Blue Flames. It was while playing with that band, that he was discovered by Chas Chandler, who got him his first real record deal.
Kristofferson played it for Joplin during the time he was Joplin's live-in boyfriend near the end of her life. Joplin's version of the song became a #1 song in 1971, after her death (the second posthumous #1 song in history, after Otis Redding's Sitting on the Dock of the Bay).
My other Hendrix custom is a copy of his Monterey Strat - with the daisy on top, not the rose as Pamelina (incorrectly) painted for the Strat reissues.
Just discovering this thread. Rainy morning rock and roll PING.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Shouldn't a Monterey Strat have flames?
After playing 'Wild Thing" at Monterrey, yes. It should also have a broken neck.
The real guitar pieces are at the Experience Music Project in Seattle.
Of course towards the end of his life & career, he teamed up with Billy Cox again . . . AND Buddy Miles . . . to form the short-lived, but exceptionally awesome Band of Gypsies. Their NYE concerts at the Filmore were flat-out incredible.
