JIMI HENDRIX - JANUARY 1967 (EPISODE FIVE)

[@precbsfender]

I've seen all the greats over the years, but I have never seen anybody come close to Jimi's level of talent, not even close..

[@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW]

You're spot on!

Stevie was better

​@@matthewdavis6118 They always say Stevie but to me he was just a great copycat who stole everyone else's style. No originality at all.

[@GoodCitizen.1]

​@romienomie wtf are you talking about? Jimi "stole" people's styles just as much as SRV. Curtis Mayfield is the most obvious when it comes to Hendrix style embellishments. Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, etc.

[@justlucamusic]

very interesting, thank you!🎸🎸🤘

Thank you for keeping Jimi's fire going, his stories seem never ending for such a brief career, along with his material.

[@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW]

Thanks, his light continues to burn brightly!

Jimi was ahead of his time. The father of grunge also he was from Seattle. No one can play guitar as great as Jimi.

[@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW]

Hi Sonia, totally agree!

[@michaelcraig9449]

Father of grunge? No way, Jimi was playing stuff 1000 times more interesting and complex than any grunge guy ever did.

[@rickg8015]

Going into outer space and then further into inner space before his life was cut short in 1970.. He also felt limited by his lack of technical knowledge and wanted to take a break for some time to study music formally..@@michaelcraig9449

Enjoying your video's.....your'e comments regarding Mods attitudes music preference is spot on. Being one myself from 14 and as a learning guitar player loved Hendrix Cream Kinks Who Animals and more but when the Tamla Motown music and other Soul stars were prominent I stopped playing at that time in favour of Mod groove 'James Brown' and the like......I did pick up the instrument though later on thankfully!

At 2:16 there's a photo in the video of John Lennon's Give Peace a Chance. First of all, The Beatles have not even been mentioned in this video previously. Second, that song was not released until 1969. (Released as a single in July 1969 by the Plastic Ono Band on Apple Records, it is the first solo single issued by Lennon, released while he was still a member of the Beatles, and became an anthem of the American anti-war movement during the 1970s.). Just a mention to the person who put this video together.

[@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW]

Hey Christino, my sincere apologies if this has offended you. come on! Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Let your fancy flow! Best wishes

[@conradsunkiojack2538]

Jesus Christ! What wisdom. "After all the Jacks are in their boxes. And the clowns have gone to bed ". I believe describes, after their row ended and the aftermath. Then, "A broom is drearily sweeping off the broken pieces of yesterday's life ". This refers to the mess clean up he did. Other authors would have simplified too much exposing a lot of the mysteries of the subject. In so doing, Jimi attempted to appeal to Mary of a good thing arising out of their erstwhile palaver, and storming our minds to philosophize. ✌️♥️👍👏

I would bet the New York, L.A., Chicago, and San Francisco scene was bigger than it was in London. Rock and roll was invented in the U.S. In England it seems to be mostly about classes and fashions, the fashions they got from Italy. In the U.S., fashion was secondary to the music and ideas.

[@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW]

Hi Michael, yes and no. For sure, history is the simplification of the past. What I find interesting is the complex web between the British invasion eg Beatles & Stoines et al, the English blues revival, and the counter-culture. As I highlight, England afforded Hendrix an opportunity for fame in a national media, and so a launching pad...back into the US via Monterey. Love your input! Cheers

[@dennismason3740]

Murder by Manager Mike. My 17th birthday, 1970. I just want the story to be told right because that "vomit" business is over.

[@xelphinx]

Would be curious to read more elaboration of what you began concerning jimi and 'mike' Jeffrey 🛸💫jdF☮️

[@dennismason3740]

@@xelphinx - Jimi told Chas he was going to fire Mike, who was stealing from Jimi. Before Jimi could do this he was killed. When Mike found out he was going to be fired he took out an insurance policy that would pay out to him (Mike) should Jimi die. There was a video in KZbin for about a year showing the medical examiner's report and one of the ambulance drivers and assistant examiner were both interviewed. Jimi had been dead for a while when the ambulance arrived. Monika (?) whatsername was the last "friend" to see Jimi alive (except for the killers) and she "discovered" the body in the early morning. The coroner's report said that Jimi had about a liter of wine in his lungs, indicating that it had been poured into his nostrils whilst he was held down. Jimi died drowning in wine. The thugs also pushed sleeping pills down his throat and they were found undigested in his stomach. Michael collected 2 million in insurance and he was dead in a couple of years under mysterious (drunken?) circumstances. The vomit story is a cover up, by who I don't care.

[@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW]

Hi Dennis, I plan to cover the theories, further down the track. I am familiar with the material to which you refer, and clearly has polarised the Hendrix fan community. My position is to merely communicate the facts, from which people will draw their own conclusions. I will say the following: the maligned legacy attached to Jeffery is by no means unanimous, the second inquest/investigation arrived at the same outcome as the first, and more often than not, the simplest explanation that accounts for the observed facts is often the truest. I look forward to presenting that information in the future. Cheers!

[@dennismason3740]

@@BELLY_BUTTON_WINDOW - I have been witness to horrors in my 70 years and the media chooses often to create their own story. Jimi's death was not investigated by competent interested people. The new investigation, same as all the rest of the lies. All of my research kept coming back to the same conclusions. Jimi's cause of death was drowning because he had wine poured into his nostrils and pills forced down his throat. The real story was in a British doc about 13 years ago - coroner's assistant, ambulance driver, copy of the report with "wine in the lungs - about a half-litre". Mike was a gangster with powerful friends, maybe they lied too. The real doc disappeared from YT a few years ago. I've been uncovering lies all my life and it can often piss off dangerous people. It's the old Kennedy and the Magic Bullet story. People still buy it. Your work is fine, the videos are good and don't believe everything they tell you. Storytellers, you are, investigative journalists? Not so much. "Oh, it's in the Guardian, man...".

Crazy that within barely 2.5, 3 years he would be headlining Woodstock. Not that I think Woodstock was some sort of pinnacle, but just a measure of his success. Never mind all the music, touring, electric lady studios etc...but such huge success so quickly. Of all the losses, I wish his hadn't happened.

Jimi Hendrix was an early punk. He had that spirit. Its a real pity he went off the rails and broke up the Experience.

He was certainly his "own" man. I want to feature some of the letters he sent in reply to fans, where he emphasizes this, saying "it's your life, so live it your way" or something like that. Cheers!

"Jimi and I had many rows" (as in row your boat) "but rowing always upset me" ( seasickness?) "then we had the row to end all rows" (oh, you became the mixed-sex-rowing Olympic Champions ?) "No but, Jimi was a great rower, he could row all the way from Putney to Parliament in a small boat - in the dark - AND tuned down half a step all the way !!" ( sorry Jimi, we guitarists miss you badly, but what's with this robot story-teller acting like he is the font of all Jimi knowledge, you must be turning over and over in Seattle, this robot narrator doesn't even know the subtle difference in spoken English between Rowing, as in arguing, and Rowing, as in propelling a small boat using oars) ! Oh, I know, I haven't got the App ! Well silly ME ! That's maybe why I am so App-Less... Dah..!
