Eric Clapton said that when he first heard Jimi Hendrix play guitar, he felt like just hanging it up, that Jimi's talent was so natural that there was no way he could match it. Anyone who was a real musician back then recognized Jimi as being great.

[@elaineandjohn9599]

Wungolioth the way I heard that story is Clapton called Pete Townsend after hearing Hendrix and said something like: you have to get down here and hear him, he’s gonna put us out of work.

[@lesdoll402]

anyone that would question their musical abilities as such should have hung it up.

[@DawoudKringle]

That recognition wasn't limited to the rock world. Jazz masters like Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Miles Davis, and Larry Young could hear what was in Hendrix' music. I've also spoken to musicians in the classical, jazz, Indian Raga, African worlds, and they all love Hendrix.

[@elaineandjohn9599]

Talkin Bout Nawlins: You are correct they all do owe their souls to a lot of early blues men who came before them. I didn’t mean to suggest otherwise. Just relaying a story I heard and is probably not quite accurate but gets to the point: the awe Clapton felt that night seeing and hearing Hendrix live. That’s all.

[@elaineandjohn9599]

Talkin Bout Nawlins Freddie was probably the most under appreciated of blues guitars and a lot of them had the last name King too.

Old white dude here, and Hendrix was the first black musician I really got into. Sure, I’d listened to the Motown artists, but Jimi was so outside the mold of what Berry Gordy was producing.... He mixed blues and rock with his incredible talent and ground-breaking technique, and that mellow, soulful voice! Now, to you, Pink: Okay, so if you liked this, then do yourself a favour and listen to Hendrix with the Band of Gypsies.... whereas The Jimi Hendrix Experience was Jimi backed by a couple of British guys, the Gypsies were the incomparable Billy Cox on bass and Buddy Miles on drums. Do it!

[@corn_pop6082]

The first black musician? Really? We must be the same age thereabouts. There were such magnificent black groups from late 50s to early 60s who "crossed over" to get on "white" radio and national TV shows. The Pretenders, Four Tops, Supremes. the Temptations? I could go on and on. In fact, political African Americans criticized Hendrix when he was alive for performing "white music," though as this reactor knows, and even my teenage self knew way back then, rock'n'roll came totally from R&B, gospel and jazz.

[@Ronnie-Jones]

"You got to tell the children the truth they don't need a whole lot of lies. Because one of these days, baby, they'll be running things. So when you give them love you better give it right" Jimi Hendrix In a world swimming in a sea of lies they murdered the body but the spirit and message lives on within many forever.

[@kingbee48185]

Nobody broke down racial barriers like Jimi did in my view. I have heard many fans of southern rock spew hatred, but all bow their heads and bring themselves to respect this man. I loved him and idolized him since 1979, when I was in the 9th grade. He purportedly was upset that most Afro Americans were not into his music, which near the end of his career, seemed to reach out with more funk,blues, jazz, and this whole other groove which he claimed he heard inside his head, material which those close to him said would have changed modern music and taken it in a whole new direction. He passed before we got to hear that, so we will never know. Forever in our hearts, James Marshall Hendrix......

[@FSMDog]

He didn't break them down - he made it in England where race is less of an issue.,..

[@medarby3066]

He made it in England, but nah man, Jimmy is guitar god. No matter how "racist" you are. "racists" will fist fight other "racists" over Hendrix.

[@juliegogola4647]

I had only listened to him after hearing that Pete Willis who helped found Def Leppard was a big fan of Hendrix. Pete was kicked out of Leppard for drinking too much after their 3rd albumn had started to be recorded, he pretty much did himself in as a musician by coming into the recording studio too "wasted" to play. Anyway, Pete liked Jimi, so I HAD to hear Jimi, and I loved Jimi after hearing him. I loved "all along the watch tower' after hearing it on the movie Forest Gump" I don't remember IF I heard it before the movie came out. I'm pretty sure I got my first Jimi Hendrix cd in the early 2000's. So it had been several years after hearing about Pete Willis liking Hendrix and "Forest Gump" that I had actually bought Hendrix's music, I had just heard "all along the watchtower" on the "Forest Gump" movie.

[@juliegogola4647]

@Justin Edwards I agree, after seeing a new show called "1969" on Tv I was shocked about how the cops had made the "Black Panthers" look like THEY had started a "race war" and the COPS had massacred a house full of Black Panther members as they slept, and had made the claim that the cops walked into the house and had fired to "protect themselves" while the "panther" members had fired their weapons on them. You could plainly see in the video from back when it had happened that the cops had fired and there was blood on the mattresses where the Panther members heads had been laying on their pillows. Multiple rounds had been shot at the sleeping Panther members, BUT, back then nobody in power wanted to hear what REALLY happened.

It's not really about who was better, IMO. Jimi taught everyone how the modern rock lead guitarist was supposed to sound and play. All those other guys ran their own paths and levels of mastery. But, Jimi was the source that sparked them all. (With a nod to Les Paul)

I was a young white English kid living in a small country town when I chanced upon Jimi's music about the time Hey Joe was released and began to be played on the radio. So started a lifelong love of not only Jimi's music but black American music of all types. Nothing broke the barriers of understanding and acceptance down greater than the music. I am surprised that he has not been recognised more for his outstanding contribution to us all. Thank you so much for your promotion of this aspect of his work and being.

[@obbor4]

I couldn't agree more with @eric brown. If I were to rate my favorite rock bands ever, at least the first seven would have come from England. They took American music and gave it back to us in a new and greatly improved series of styles. Not to mention, selling millions upon millions of guitars, worldwide, to aspiring musicians all wanting to be like The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, etc...

Jimi Hendrix was so far ahead of his time. His inspiration will live on forever not only as an incredible musician, but also as a man that rose to stardom in a time that wasn't kind to African Americans. It was a sad reflection on societal values to think that a person couldn't rise to greatness because of the color of their skin. Jimi proved them wrong beyond a shadow of a doubt. I would encourage you to listen to his music as it is diverse and full of greatness.

[@Gretev1]

Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, Ike Turner, Otis Redding, Little Richard, Muddy Waters, BB King, James Brown, Etta James, Roberts Flack, Jackie Wilson, Wilson Pickett, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and a plethora of other black individuals were famous for creating music before and during Jimi‘s career.

[@johnallgier4412]

You're absolutely correct. The brilliant artists you mentioned did succeed during that period. I still stand by my previous statement. In general, many African Americans were treated differently than their white counterparts.

[@crownedful]

Great reflection /reaction for Black History Month. I'm an old timer now and still a huge Jimi Hendrix, fan. His style of blues is rooted in the oldest form of blues. It's very black and this rendition really caught the essence of this. It is very soulful. Jimi left way too young, but he was decades ahead of his time. Every electric guitarist who has ever played, owes Hendrix. If he were still alive in this era, music would be different as he changed it in such a short period, he was with us. He played with a feeling, that nobody else possessed. He was different and showed the world his American-ism, with him playing the every oldest form of blues from both Black and Irish slaves. He amplified it, played feedback, used his wah wah pedal, and added psychedelic realms. It brought tears to my eyes that people from a younger generation, remember him and appreciate him. Especially, this month. Great selection. Hey Joe has many. It was written by a cat named Billy Robert's, but made famous because of Jimi. Also, as a lifetime Jimi Hendrix fan, he did not die of a drug overdose. He had acid reflux, while lying on his back. He choked on his own vomit. We didn't call it acid reflux in those days. But that's what he died from. The perpetuated myth that he died from a drug overdose must be debunked.

[@tatethompson1234]

It's wonderful that you look at Jimi the way you do. Truth is, most african americans hated Jimi and called him a traitor for playing the way he did, acting the way he did and dating white women among other things. I think Jimi was too far ahead of his time, and is still is. He was a wonderful soul, extremely humble, gracious and stand up guy. He was african, indian and irish, he had some strong roots! I'm not black, but for me a touching line is "Ain't no hang man gonna put a rope around me", I think the way he sang it, it was deeper than the song and a reflection of the times. As a young man, Jimi changed my life, I'm only 27, but music is the best gift there is in life and as a young kid, it was the only thing that really touched my soul and calmed me. I remember late at night laying in bed after a long school day, listening to Hendrix non stop some nights, made the world a better place, well for me anyways. You should do a reaction video of Cream playing Crossroads (live album version is the best) it'll blow you away, and Eric Clapton was one of Jimi's idols.

[@drewhiphop]

I don't doubt you but I disagree with African Americans feeling like he's a traitor. Most African Americans just didn't take the time out to listen to it because it wasn't soul or blues. Trust me there's a lot of us that loves Jimi Hendrix music

As you see I'm a white guy and can't say anything about those feelings you described. But I try to imagine. Anyway Jimi's playing makes me cry too. He is so wild and truthful in every lick and every phrase. His music makes me FEEL life. And I'm always astonished that such a young man obviously knew so much about the painful aspects of our existence. And I'm so grateful to see that a young woman of your generation still can connect immediately to Jimi's music. All the best to you.

The saddest part about "borders" is that they are 100% man-made constructs. We draw these imaginary lines and then live our lives imprisoned. They keep us from loving fully and they cause so much suffering for those "on the other side" of those lines.

Not trying to take away from BHM but Jimi Hendrix had to leave the US and come to the UK to gain any kind of acceptance an recognition for the music he was making. Hendrix didn't 'make it' in the US until he was an established star in the UK.

[@dogstar75]

BHM, as Pink stated, is to highlight the achievements of African Americans in the US. My point was, Hendrix had to leave the US to achieve anything other than being a very talented session musician or a musician for hire. America didn't make him a star, the UK did.

After while, after while, your cheap talk don't even cause me pain, so let your bullets fly like rain, Jimi had incredible words from real life experiences, played Band of Gypsies so much the needle started commin through the other side, saw him in Hawaii, 2 weeks later died in England, The best, the very best, I'm still sad to this day

[@RSFO]

Machine Gun (Band Of Gypsys) got me into rock'n'roll... when I was still in my mother's stomach.

[@samson_BNR32]

machine gun melts my mind

[@IshwaraYogaNET]

I can’t explain how your videos make this a better world but somehow they do. Thank you x

[@marmadukewinterbotham2599]

I saw the Experience live here in the UK on 19th Novmber 1967. Stunning.

[@BavonWW]

Me too! I saw them there too!

[@marmadukewinterbotham2599]

What a night. Pink Floyd were odd though, so I gave their music a wide birth for decades. It took me another 40 years before I was blown away by them. BTW, there's a lot reverse-racism on this thread, 'blacks are best', and other similar crap. Why can't people just enjoy the music, no matter what, instead of constantly pushing a notion of payback for historical stuff?

[@kenmott6387]

Regarding the audience's reaction: Back then, audiences were polite through the performance, and they didn't really freak out, either. It wasn't until a year or so later that the fans stopped caring about being polite... lol. For an audience of that era, they were stunned... trust me. That was obviously the first time they had seen him, and imho, they WERE blown away... just very proper about showing it!

[@kenmott6387]

And you're awesome, btw. Keep on keepin' on! Only YOU can be YOU!

[@joshburns4611]

Geezer Mott Drugs probably had a lot to do with how calm and polite they were too. It was the 60's. lol

[@bernincoal1]

Jimi was a pioneer in modern guitar playing. Every single famous and non famous (me) player can credit Jimi for technique one form or another. He broke the color barrier in hard rock when it was mostly white. Sure, many at first resented a black man playing their music, but with time, Jimi won over them. He is by far one of the best. The guitar techniques you saw is child's play for him. He's done way crazier things than that. Unfortunately, that era was very influenced by drugs, especially heroin. Who knows what he may have done if he were alive today. I think you'll get very emotional if you see him play the national anthem in Woodstock. That gets ME every time. He left way too soon. :(

[@mrclean5038]

For black history month check out living colour's cult of personality

[@triplem4659]

Sevendust too :)

[@mrclean5038]

Yeah Sevendust as well!

[@margaretbrowitt5244]

Isn't it strange that jimi can still pull on your heartstrings all these years later?

[@jeodee]

Another great video, thank you. Jimi was a little ahead of my time but I got hooked on his music from my older brother. He’s one of the greatest and was taken from us and the world of music far to early in life. His national anthem on the guitar is to great for words. I live by one golden rule and that is, I judge by character, not color. Keep up the incredible work and congratulations. 🎉

[@stefanantfolk4328]

He is so great singer guitars player the song is so great its so mutch felling in the song i like'it 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Joel Villeda Terry Kath was better

[@dmusiclife5727]

Music is one of the most powerful things we have. Crosses all boundaries. It’s has no race, no gender. I don’t hear Jimmy Hendrix as black? i hear Jimmy Hendrix as Jimmy Hendrix. Morgan Freeman said it best when asked about Blk history month. Black history is American history it’s not a month. My parents are immigrants and my wife’s parents are immigrants and they are now Americans. So many teams, how about team people? Sorry for the preaching it’s just that music is so pure and free It’s hard to see it labeled by anything but music not by what race or gender you are.

[@JohnBarrylizard]

Six years ago I helped a pickup maker reverse engineer Hendrix '65 pickups, specifically for me. I've been aspiring to play his music like he did and still consider him the best of the best. If you listen to his interviews he was incredibly humble, self-deprecating, sensitive and very intelligent. When complimented on being the best guitarist in the world he said he was "the best guitarist sitting in this chair". His playing is deceptively complex and his very original. This was the break though that blew the best guitarist away. Clapton and Beck said they were holding each other watching him in awe. Clapton still gets choked up when anyone brings up Jimi Hendrix.

[@outrider7577]

Breaks my heart Pink. You're beautiful and a treasure. Jimi was one of the greatest of all time. What a loss of pure talent. He was taken way to soon. Keep on doing what you do and f@#$ the haters. Stay strong! ♡

[@russellprague965]

Hey Pink Metal Head I just logged on to your site cause I saw a Hendrix reaction from a female lol. In all of my 53 years I have never known any female to listen to Jimi on a regular basis, I hope you listen to more of his music.

[@nycsue]

I am a 50 year old female who has been a huge fan of Jimi since my early teens. Jimi didn't just play the guitar, he made love to it. Watching him during live performances gives me chills. I was definitely born a generation too late. Oh how great it would have been to watch him in person! I agree with you, she should listen to anything she can get her ears and eyes on.

[@darlahays2471]

I am so thankful to see younger generations of all races rediscovering and falling in love with Jimmi Hendrix. My sister introduced me to him when I was a mere child. No one should judge you on your skin your music nothing.

[@karmasauce6288]

I’ve been a fan of Hendrix since I was fifteen. I’m thirty-eight now. 😊

[@Thecriticalplug]

Happy Black History Month hun 🤗 and you shouldn't let Ignorance get to you ..stay blessed 🙏🏻🕺🏻💃🏽🎸🐆

[@matthewquiring3500]

Im a new subscriber and I cant stop watching your reactions .love your channel . music causes reactions . im no racist. good people are good people. color doesn't matter!!!!!!!!

[@nathankrush3289]

Racism is not acceptable EVER

[@robertvalderaz7329]

Jimmy, the greatest guitar player of all time, cosmic, as well as awakening factor in my life. Even to this day, I listen to him at least once a day. After all these years. Even in Vietnam his music keep me flying.

[@ladyshandbagorpurse6090]

Wow. This reaction hit me deep in the feels, and got me a little misty eyed... so beautiful... Hendrix was a BEAST! This video deserves a million hits! Oh and btw you are gorgeous!

[@sket179]

[@PinkMetalHead]

I definitely will :)

[@sheepstittydiddle1222]

On the theme of Black history month, please react to Muddy Waters Mannish boy, he came before Jimi and was essentially what made Jimi want to play guitar

[@robjones2408]

There is a version of "Mannish Boy" by Jimi which is just been released. Unbelievable! Billy Cox on bass and Buddy Miles on drums. It was recorded in 1969. It sounds like it was made yesterday.

[@billbrasky1288]

The roots of metal is blues. Try some B.B. King

[@nl37tgt]

i'll second that. but i'll add louis armstong, nat king cole, ray charles, and just for something more modern, sevendust.

[@Evil-Never-Dies]

I would add a sprinkle of classical music as well but yeah all rock comes from blues.

[@jackburton3149]

@Evil Never Dies Reactions to classical music would certainly be interesting. I especially think about that whenever I hear people say that this or that song is "too technical"

[@Evil-Never-Dies]

Jack Burton I just meant that you can certainly hear some classical music influence in some metal. Or conversely, check out classically trained people playing metal like Apocalyptica.

[@johnclhugyugihjbvgbkj9729]

Evil Never Dies Yes please. Or anything harmonica.

[@michaelnorman2967]

Jimi emits so many emotions for us fans of his from the 60's and 70's. I graduated high school in 1979 and Jimi has been a big part of my musical library for a long, long time. Glad you like him and this song because it was his first big hit and he skyrocketed from there.

[@lauriekemp3998]

Hey again Pink girl. Don't ever let anyone tell you who you are. You are wise beyond your years. We sometimes were so awestruck by our musician heroes, we were frozen for moments just digesting the ferocious beauty of what we were hearing. Then we could move again. Keep rocking young heart!

[@byteblock1667]

Living Colour is a rock band all members are black and they fucking shred. Check out their song Cult of Personslity. The singer for Sevendust is black and he has pipes. Listen to their song Black. It rocks!

[@form_52]

Honor the real greatest for black history month. The man who started it all and shaped most modern music. Listen to Robert Johnson, either Crossroads or Hellhound on my trail

[@williamdarnstaedt3118]

form52 hey joe was written by Billy Roberts an white guy in 1962 Hendrix just electrified it. It's almost exactly the same as Roberts recording.

[@Nafeism]

I understand that Robert done got hisself down to the crossroads. You gotta be under 21. I remember Son House spoke about it.

[@dmusiclife5727]

donepearce black history is American history. It’s not a month. And that’s coming from his generation.

[@aviohebshalom3392]

I'm subbing to you just for your reaction. This is how I feel whenever I listen to today's music and think of all the artists that we've lost.

[@jackdelaney6633]

Thanks for this upload 🙂, jimi hendrix was an absolute genius and from what I've heard and seem of him a very nice man, I think when he came to this country it was realized immediately that he was the best and most innovative musician of the era and there's were and astounding number of talented people at the time, all speak highly of him to this day .

[@Sam-qr9wu]

You owe no apology for your emotional reaction - the fact that Jimi died so young makes all of us sad. Too many who had such talent were taken from us at a young age, but the music they created lives on and we can be thankful for that. Blessings to you.
