Jimmy Page's awful experience with Jimi Hendrix

Jimmy Page's awful experience with Jimi Hendrix.
Absolutely every guitarist you talk to, no matter their musical style or preferred genre, will mention Jimi Hendrix as an inspiration. His music was relentless, captivating audiences for hours on end, and his voice is as distinctive and captivating as ever.
If the general public looks up to someone, it's a good sign; if other professionals in the same industry hold them in high esteem, it's a testament to their greatness. Jimmy Page, who transformed the rock scene with Led Zeppelin, is perhaps one of the best guitarists of all time.

[@adrianotero6523]

At 16 years old, I was afforded the gift of meeting Jimi, he was dating a tenant that I knew in Manhattan (who was a stewardess for a big airline. Although she was older than I, she was a dear friend and asked Jimi if I could go with them as they were going to a downtown club to hear another artist. Upon arriving at the club, we were seated at a table and within minutes we were surrounded by many people. Jimi told us that he didn’t feel comfortable so we got up and left. We went to another place and he talked with my friend and I about being comfortable in an environment. After that evening I ran into him several times and I was rather amazed at how different he was in private from his stage image. One evening I was at Madison Square Soul concert and one of the performers asked him to come on to the band pit and play a song with them. The guitarist gave him his guitar to play. Jimi played and when the show was over, he happened to be on the same subway as I. He spoke with me and gave me insight on certain techniques of playing then he told me that he was not pleased with the live destruction of guitars and as I was learning to play, he advised me not to destroy guitars as this was something that he did and thereafter was coaxed by management to do thereafter. Jimi was so thoughtful and soft spoken and I am certain that many people had no clue as to Jimi “the person” while he was with us. Not at all, the fire filled personality that he exhibited on stage.

Some are gifted enough to benefit from drugs. Some can’t handle their own sobriety.They battle with or without drugs. Others can’t enjoy drugs or can’t get the good ones but battle with sobriety. Others just don’t need them and can take them or leave them. When you can get up on stage for a scheduled performance without drugs and not regret it and do it on a regular basis throughout your tour, and that is something special. Most of us don’t know Jimi Hendrix and can only guess who he was off stage. I’ve heard him speak very softly and appear to be a very sensitive contemplative and generous person. He was gifted enough to accept his own fragility and recognize that in others. In the company of truly great person I think we can shed our armor, except our vulnerability I feel lucky but humble in their presence. Jimmy’s managers would not have wanted him to be just human on stage

Spainish Castle Magic slams. Also, Hendrix's song House is Burning on the Electric Lady Land album is so good that no one else can play it. To be honest; I don't listen to Zeppelin much.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

@@KingKull1971 Other way around for me. I used to like Hendrix but quickly went off him the further I delved because I found him restrictive, without much scope and certainly not diverse enough. With respect, nothing Hendrix composed is anywhere near the level of Kashmir, The Rain Song, Ten Years Gone and yes Stairway To Heaven. It just isn't. Machine Gun not even remotely blows away Whole Lotta Love. It was Whole Lotta Love that dragged the 1960s into the 1970s and changed rock, not Machine Gun. Peace anyway.

"The impression Jimi Hendrix leaves behind is often exaggerated?” After roughly 40 years of reading books and biographies, magazines (Guitar World, Guitar Player, Rolling Stone, etc.), and watching many documentaries, I have never encountered this perspective on Hendrix, especially from one of his British Invasion colleagues. Jeff Beck, Pete Townshend of The Who, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Cream (specifically Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce), and others have all shared their extraordinary experiences, which are well-documented. This claim was posted three months ago, 54 years after Hendrix's passing. Is there anyone still living that can verify this conversation or interview with Jimmy Page ever took place? This appears to be yet another unverifiable, someone heard from somebody, who heard from somebody, and so on." ________________________________________

[@terrencereardon6374]

Page conquered the drugs and got clean. Hendrix was a mess and a junkie in the 1969-70 period regularly using cocaine and heroin. Steve Miller said about Hendrix's death in comparison to Stevie Ray Vaughan's "So when Stevie died it, it was one of those horrible things. It was unnecessary, the helicopter flights from East Troy, Wisconsin to Chicago was a 90 minute drive. It was totally unnecessary. It was a tragedy beyond belief caused by nonsense, in my opinion. There was no need to for anyone to be flying in helicopters in the fog to Chicago, ya know. They could have been there in 90 minutes they could have been at the doorway to the hotel. So, it was horrible and it was kinda like even more tragic than than Jimi Hendrix’ death. Because when Jimi Hendrix died he was basically a junkie and he was a mess and his life was falling apart. When Stevie Ray died he had gotten himself together. He was focused and he was really to become the statesman. The guy. And he just got cut off way too early and there hasn’t been anyone since to come along with that kind of energy and that kind of reality in their playing, so it’s greatly, greatly missed".

Dave Gilmour has confirmed that he saw Hendrix's last show in the UK, at the Isle of Wight Festival, just three weeks before the guy passed away - a show that's known to have been uneven with both highs and lows, but did include a good take of Machine Gun.

Jimmy Page thought so highly of it that he incorporated it in one of the Led Zeppelin song called No Quarter if you know what I mean.
