Jimi Hendrix June 1969 Interview

[@probation1016]

I agree

[@jamesonmedynski8243]

there are so many ways he is talented but my favorite one of them all is his ability to tell a story. He says he loves color I just hoped he knew he was the color streaking off his brush and across his page and so many people are touched by this still. I miss him because I feel like I didn't even get to know him but he will always live on.

[@paulablissett9396]

I for one miss him terribly, he was very through, in anything he would run across to you, he was a beautiful soul, a great artist, he expressed his feelings through his music, and i loved chatting with him, he was mesmerizing, on stage, AND AS A FRIEND, he was the best!!!

Ritchie Blackmore once said about Hendrix; Even without his guitar he was brilliant...and he was..

[@paulablissett9396]

TRUTH!!! VERY BRILLIANT, INTELLIGENT AND ALL OF THAT JAZZ!!!

[@rorycunningham5457]

Ritchie even liked the way he walked..ha.Its true!

[@charliebrown4624]

I think Ritchie Blackmore was extremely jealous of Jimi Hendrix. Blackmore once said: Hendrix was a better singer than he was a guitarist, and that he (Blackmore) could sweep the floor with any guitarist in the world. If Blackmore's ability was as big as his ego, he may have one day become a great guitarist.

[@lifegoeson2183]

Blackmore is 2 faced. None of his solos contain any feel either. Just speed..

[@obbor4]

@@charliebrown4624 He "may have become a great guitarist?" Just what do you use as your criteria for being a "great guitarist?" I, personally, have been to at least a thousand concerts. Blackmore was the most impressive guitarist I've ever seen. He could play rings around about 95%of people who ever picked up the instrument.

THIS WOMAN WAS AMAZING. THE BEST JIMI HENDRIX INTERVIEW EVER. SO MANY CLUELESS FOOLS HERE CRITICIZE HER LIKE THEY ARE MORE CLEVER! WRONG! THIS WOMAN MADE JIMI OPEN HIS MIND FOR US LIKE NO ONE ELSE WITH AN EGO IN THE WAY. THANK HER AND JIMI!

[@WHOAM1894]

Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity by showing there is at least one intelligent person in the comments defending this brilliant interviewer woman. I love classic rock and Jimi Hendrix, but God please help the mindless and stupid classic rock fans that have to be some of the most backwards thinking and closed-minded people in this world. It's super ironic that classic rock fans have this conservative attitude because all of their legends preach innovation, progression, and keeping an open mind to the necessary developments of the future. Jimi Hendrix literally explains multiple times in this very interview why we shouldn't hold on to the traditions of the past and need to instead break through with new ideas with hope for the future. I agree with Jimi. How are we supposed to achieve this progress if stay stuck in the past by glorifying it? I agree classic rock, the blues, Jazz and classical, and all that is awesome, but we need new ideas to solve the problems of our current society that are relevant to our contemporary problems! Clearly what was done in the past -- Classic Rock, or anything for that matter --wasn't good enough because we're still facing many of the same problems as well as completely new problems that have emerged from our history in our current society! We need new and better ideas to solve our current problems as how it's always been throughout history!

[@subzero308]

Without this man I would have never picked up a guitar... Thank u jimi u r missed greatly.

I don't think people understand how intelligent Jimi was, he was insanely talented the greatest guitar player the world has ever seen without a second thought! He was very shy egoless and very humble, he dealt with a lot of racism in England and its sad that he had to go to England to become famous, a true Legend and good person RIP Jimi

[@morriypoulsen1238]

There was more racism in USA than in England, just as well Jimi made it in England.

[@owenwilberforce6138]

Jimi was always thinking so far ahead and was so natural and matter of fact about the spiritual purpose of music’s power to foster consciousness. He was aware of the divisions between old/young, black/white, uptight or open minded. He proudly lived between all worlds, between all levels of consciousness. In his 27 years, his visionary sense was benevolent and a futurist in terms of seeing music build a higher consciousness. He seemed 270 in terms of awareness, and he was 2700 in terms of wisdom, and who knows where it all came from? I believe he was a gift it takes generations to really understand. Great interview here and one I have not heard before.

[@bruceanderson2351]

I was 13 years old when Jimi died. I cried. I already had albums, Electric Ladyland, and a couple others. Rainbow Bridge is my fave. Awesome solo acoustic "Hey Baby". He is and always be in my memories.

[@heidiho1313]

[@dr.buzzvonjellar8862]

“I have been here before, the days of ice. And of course this is why I’m so concerned.” I believe Jimi was an advanced spirit that visited Earth. His perspectives were not of the time and place he lived. He’s supremely humanist.

[@AndreasLovely]

Everyone is hating on the interviewer, but I think she's a nice lady and Jimi clearly likes her, even if the interview is a bit jumbled. The conversation flows nicely and naturally. I guess that's the thing, it's more of a conversation than an interview in parts. It's nice to hear Jimi just talk casually on a variety of subjects, and she contributed to creating that atmosphere, beyond having some interesting things to say herself. So don't hate, celebrate.

[@v.c.webster9250]

I agree.

[@vladdrakul7851]

She is great as is the interview but not some of the 'little woman' knows nothing, is a lousy interviewer not a ROCK Journalist douche 'professional' like Howard Stern who does LOUSY interviews as he never lets the interviewee actually talk while her questions opened Jimi up to the discussion so well.

[@malmstrim]

Compared to so many of the dudes he was interview by back then, this lady is a saint. Most guys didn’t care for his way of thinking and just seemed to want to get through the interview. This lady actually seems to give a shit and, even if she doesn’t understand it, tries to vibe with Jimi’s creativity.

[@canopener505ify]

There weren't any standard answers or canned responses like there are now. It was common back then for artists to speak their minds and interviewers who also did their thing with minimal boundaries.

[@BrendanC6788]

She's obviously reading prepared questions which makes it a bit stiff, but I read on another site that the interview was for her master's thesis so that's understandable. What's good is she gives Jimi time to riff and ramble, and she is better when she goes off script. The end product is great. Also very cool that Jimi would give an interview to someone for a project that was no benefit to him.

[@544cachito]

This man sounds like he's lived so much for his young age. He truly was unique and his wisdom, amazing intelligence and incredible emotional vocabulary comes through the way he played his guitar. It's surreal.....

Instead of the power of love we are seeing greed, destruction, murder, oppression, racism, and corruption.

Johan, based on your comment, I know that you're facing the struggle of breaking through the various ego-walls at large in society, and I just want to let you know that I'm going through something very similar. The only answer i've come up with is that you have to believe in yourself even when no one else around you does, and that through guidance and dedication you'll find the people with whom you can jam and vis versa. Remember, the quest that you're on is shared. There are others out there like you, and you're on a collision course. If you stick to yourself, and let your heart roam free, then I promise you you can not fail. We've just got to stand up to the fear and the violence and the ignorance and say "i don't live like that, and i don't have to have that in my heart!" Love, from GA, USA.

Top ten hits were The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, The Supremes, Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Andy Williams, Glen Campbell, Elvis, Bobby Gentry, Dean Martin, The Dave Clark 5, Temptations, Mary Wells, 4 Seasons...........music before genre.

[@missionrd100]

I love how he was perceived by the interviewer. She treated him as a star, a counter culture figure, a musician, a performer, and recording artist, which is what he was. What a change. These days he is regarded as a guitarist and only a guitarist. The emphasis is on the guitar, amps, effects, practice time, blah blah blah. The guitar nerds have taken over and have rewritten history.

[@SteveWhiteDallas]

You've got it backward. When he was alive, other musicians respected him even if they didn't understand him. Those who did, loved him. To the older generations, he was just another long-haired hippie who played his guitar so loud and distorted it wasn't music, but an abomination of what music was supposed to be. Back then, so many bands wrote "message songs" with lyrics in plain English that anyone could understand. If you didn't really pay attention to Jimi, you would not get his message. Today, the older generations are his generation. We understand who he really was. Even younger generations understand his effort to spread love and peace. I don't know what your idea of a guitar nerd is. I do know that guitarists will always appreciate his music. Some mimic him while others rearrange his music. Some do alright. Some have mastered the Hendrix style. Other musicians will never consider him as just a guitarist because he was never just another guitarist. If he was, you would hear the heavy influence from other guitarists in all his music. Musicians who master their instrument to the level of creating a whole new style of playing it are relatively few. They don't come along every day. Who do you think inspired the effects you can buy in a box today? Do you really believe any real guitarist thinks Hendrix had little boxes that made his guitar sound like it did? To a guitarist, the emphasis will always be on the guitar, amps and practice. Some use effects. Some don't. But all real musicians respect other musicians, even if they don't really like the kind of music they play. Likewise, they all know who turned Rock & Roll music onto the path that lead to the Hard Rock genre that evolved into Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal and more. The only part you got right was the first sentence and the "blah blah blah" which is a good substitute for all you think you know.

He really was an outside performer. Even in open air, his sound was seemingly so big. But I have to say, sonically and acoustics wise, I loved his sound and tone as captured on "Band of Gypsies" and (cuts from Berkeley) "Hendrix in the West". That his sound was played live but contained in aTheatre sounded so good, so special. But I do love the outdoor stuff so much. I would have loved to have been at Monterey in 1967. Wow!

He is such a great man.... RIP

[@tomr4035]

Why are people moaning about the questions... I think she asked quite good questions, well compared to today's standards...

[@waynefabra7345]

People from the ge erations of the 90s and new millenium. You have no clue what this music is about. Im a well known musician from the Punk Rock era. I seen it all and did it all. People dont have a clue about truly heavy aggressive rock. All they know is dj hogwash, record player musicians. scratching records and making millions. Nothing is real anymore. We will never see this kimd of culture of music ever again. The youth of today is past the point of no return. Its sad. And they missed out on so much. Jimi Hendrix was decades ahead of his time. Even today. No guitarist can emulate his style or imitate his dynamics. The feedback he controlled, it was all donrpe with no effects or any kind of pre programmed sound. He did it all with colume and dexterity and something that nobody knkws that was his own.

[@oscarmarquez8952]

They haven't listened to the entire interview.

[@OriRonen]

5:20 Jimi Hendrix answer the phone.... what a legend

[@zachgold5066]

Much love Jimi you are dearly missed man your ideas and music will live forever. Rest in Peace wish you had more time to even have an oppurtunity to talk with you.

[@enejka]

Brungers Band is going to eat your own shit, ignorant little thing, nor do you know who you talk about and criticize like any asshole of the ku kus clan, imbecile, is born again. you do not understand anything .

[@paulablissett9396]

Thank You..!!!

[@1sttvbn]

Well put Zach Gold. Jimi didn’t have time enough to relax.

[@ambguouuzz8923]

I used to be that person that looked at homeless people, or the people that we all look at and say, "Oh, what a fucking addict. They should just get a job." But, that's bullshit. No one is just one thing. Jimi Hendrix although I am just discovering him, was completely ethereal. He wasn't just someone who just got high and played music. I think we should all change our perspective on people and look at each other with more than just one view. Just my opinion. RIP Jimi

[@DarthPreamp]

Incredibly amazing interview. blown away. what a visionary.

[@PANAYOTISOMEGAS]

Great honest interview with JIMI..... "THE MASTER!!!" Listen closely to his word .

[@bigalb8935]

Jimi is the best guitar rock star ever he had the style charisma and guitar ability like no other I’ll always love jimi

[@gavanhillebold3131]

Jimi James & The Blue Flames, got to love it. Legends never die or grow old. Epic music, the baddest guitar player ever bar none. R.I.P. (Johnny Allen Hendrix) James Marshall Hendrix ♥️🌹🦋🎸

[@DanielRamos-zn1wo]

Yoo reading the comments makes me cry because it's mostly all true. Jimi inspired all of us at some point or somehow and he was a magnificent character, way ahead of society at his time.

[@wesleyAlan9179]

Absolutely 🎯

[@bigalb8935]

If jimi was around in this day and age the world would be a little better jimi had such a beautiful way of reaching people ✌️

[@Larry93215]

2000 years from now Jimi is Gonna Return from the Grave and Take over The Earth! I think it`s in the book of Revelation

[@djimonrussell5256]

I'm here now God told me I was jimi reincarnated and took away my schizophrenia back then cuz i couldn't tell the difference from reality and fantasy but i handled my illness well that's why u cant really tell when i talk to people ik u don't believe me cuz who would believe that but remmeber my name im gonna be a famous musician again today and do every genre to prove it

[@djimonrussell5256]

And he told me there's gonna be world peace so when that happens then you'll know I'm Jimi Hendrix reincarnated

[@damon744]

As square as she is, this is the best interviewer Hendrix ever had. Flashback to his third grade teacher in Seattle, maybe, but he was totally relaxed and really exploring the ideas behind his music. #endwriter

[@vladdrakul7851]

I agree with you. A lot of people criticize her FOR THIS AMAZING INTERVIEW. They want an arrogant MALE with an opinion instead of an intelligent probing woman.

[@canopener505ify]

Square? She's struggling to keep her knickers up.

[@crazyhorse4785]

Thank you Hendrix

[@owenmajor1314]

This man might be my favourite human in history.

[@trolabee]

Wow what an awesome thing to stumble upon. I love jimi. jimi had great perception and intelligence

[@brittdavid8591]

Wow, this King is the reason! I stand & bow With all the Music Teachers of the World, salute!!!

[@ErGoyoTV]

@21:23 Jimi talks Star Wars in 1969 - So much going inside his mind, in addition to being a musical genius already.

[@tanakaafricahomedecor4202]

Hendrix was at the right place at the right space in time! He was talking like that free spirited before hippie times 1966 to 70 but it really had to be during that time that he fit in like a glove.His language is dreamy , articulate, wistful, and very peace and love centered.Just at the perfect time when Peace and Love ruled in Haight - Ashbury. He must have felt at home when he had his home right in Haight -Ashbury!A black hippie before his time and others in USA before fame just laughed, humiliated and ridiculed him for his flamboyant clothes and talk and then he found his muse and his people.A very groovy soft spoken Cat.!

[@DavidWilson-ok5yp]

hard to imagine America once produced true unassuming intellectuals, in a lot of artistic fields.

[@jimraimondi410]

he viewed his music as being unable to stand on its own...amazing.

[@riffraffrichard]

He was an intelligent man wise beyond his years, he had experienced a freedom in his creativity and wanted everyone to experience that.

[@Betterthantelly]

Well said

[@hawk65]

Very solid interview. The way Jimi answers the interviewer proves he’s digging her questions.

[@jedwilliams444]

13.36 Interviewer "I actually love heavy music, particularly yours" Jimi "wow that's great, come with me and we'll go places" Sitting here balling my eyes out over that. Such a undoubtedly powerful yet gentle soul. Thank you Jimi ❤

[@limjahey9244]

"Well what's that gotta doooo with schooooooool "

[@christinelee6010]

Exploration Inspiration m

[@hopefaith3693]

my long life attraction to Jimi always was a double thing obviously his music but also and as compelling his persona nothing but a kind soul.

[@toneyisaiah408]

It's easy to get caught up in him being a guitar player. Jimi was smarter than most people think.

[@oskachu]

Very ahead of his time, in music and in mind.

[@andrewwilliams9599]

When Robert Fripp met Jimi Hendrix, Jim was wearing a white suit and had his right arm in a sling (die to recent injury). He reached out his left hand to Fripp and said, "Shake my left hand, man--it's closer to my heart." Years later, Michael Giles sister-in-law told Fripp that she was sitting next to Hendrix's table at the club where King Crimson was playing. She said that Jimi was jumping up with excitement, saying "This is the best band in the world!"

[@tahsinfairooz5477]

such a wonderful interview

[@ronblack2700]

This is my first time hearing this interview! Beautiful interview.
