Yeah 'Jimi Plays Monterey' was the first Hendrix album I owned, what a powerful sound it has compared to those first two studio LPs (great though they are)
Yeah I’m not sure that people who are not musicians truly understand some stuff. Like The Jimi Hendrix Experience ... It was. 3 piece band. EVERY SINGLE person is the most important person in the band. There isn’t really any way to overstate the importance of each part. It’s just a fundamental fact. Obviously Jimi was a once in a lifetime cat but I don’t think he could have grown into it without THAT rhythm section!! Jimi included!! He was an INCREDIBLE rhythm cat and I don’t think he gets enough credit for that part.
I think Noel and Mitch were a perfect match for Jimi. So glad that Noel cleared up the rumors about his hair. So true that Jimi and Mitch copied his curly hair and so did Eric Clapton.
Jimi was born with curly hair. How could you think so simplistically??? The best thing is that Hendrix never wanted him back because ... HE COULDN'T PLAY WORTH BEANS.
@@briancannon2870 Actually Buddy Miles is just as good...in his own way. He could do what's Mitch could not do.. keep a steady groove underneath a song. He was a much stronger pocket drummer than Mitch and Jimmy needed both in the latter parts of his career that's why he used them both. I knew... That was absolutely no competition between the two of them.
@@FramrodLiggins No thats false because when Noel left Hendrix had asked him to come back. Another thing you said was "HE COULDN'T PLAY WORTH BEANS" what makes you think that? The stuff he played was cool and simple. Don't be a salty asshole
That 2nd LP is underrated because Noel is not on it, but lots of interesting beat/psych stuff on it, I found it in a junk shop as a kid, no idea what happened to it..
@@jeffsimon9594 Noel did play on Fat Matress II. Plus he co-wrote "Highway" - "At the Ball" and "People" Fat Matress II Additional personnel Noel Redding - guitar on tracks 2, 4, 5, 6, 10, & 11
The original Experience music speaks for itself. Noel & Mitch were a good fit for the music they were playing. And they recorded a long list of very good songs! Noel playing with his band, Fat Matress & the Experience on the same show was just asking for problems. Very good interview.
I knew all the Fat Matress Peter Frampton , John Mitchel, Jimmy Leverton , Neil Langdon and Noel who went to the William Harvey Gramma School they still have a muiral of him there
Loved the "The Jimi Hendrix Experience" when I first heard their 1st album "Are you Experinced" in 1967!!!🥰👍The guitar, bass and drumming were all phenomenal. I still get a rush to the tunes on this album such as, "Manic Depression", "Fire", "Foxy Lady", "Third Stone From The Sun", etc.😎👍 "The Band Of Gypsies" album with Billy Cox and Buddy Miles was another phenomenal group Jimi put together!!!🥰👍"Machine Gun", "Who Knows" and "Changes" really kick ass, especially considering it's a "live" album!!!😎👍
noticed that too. He also says Mitchell. Could be a regional brit affectation to use last names. Noel's bitterness more to do with how they were run into the ground while the money was squirreled away. This interview is sometime after Noel gave up on chasing deserved income for himself and Mitch. But he knows he was a good part of one of the best bands ever. Noel's energy was fab, listened to the ferocious walking bass in 6 was 9. Noel and Mitch added some brit pop.
And this cat not getting paid?? Just a shame in EVERY sense of the word. He laid down some of the greatest music EVER created!! And someone, somewhere who never did a thing is getting very much money each year from his music. There is DEFINITELY a special place in hell for such people.
I bought and read Noel’s book. Jimi, Noel, and Mitch worked hard and received little compensation. Why Charles Chandler hooked them up with thief Michael Jeffrey, I don’t know. Was he the only manager Chas knew in the business? Michael Jeffrey totally screwed the Animals. He manipulated Price, the organ player with copyrights to House of the Rising Sun. Price got the money, inflated head, left the group. Michael Jeffrey , I think, took out a $2 million dollar life insurance policy on Jimi, since Jimi was going to dump Jeffrey as manager. Then, I believe, Jeffrey had Jimi murdered and collected the insurance money. About 2 or 3 years later, Michael Jeffrey died in an airplane crash. Monika, I believe, was manipulated. In the early 1990’s, she was driving to a meeting to come clean with what really happened. I believe she was murdered on the way to the meeting. Mitch and Noel are dead now. So, is Buddy. At least we have their wonderful recordings to appreciate. Besides guitar playing, performing, and singing, I really loved Jimi as a song writer. He wrote wonderful instrument pieces, and his words were meaningful. Al Hendrix- I bought and read his book, a good guy. Janie Hendrix is evil. She has been terrible about the money, even cutting Jimi’s flesh and blood brother out of any inheritance. Janie claims to be a Christian, since she tried to make and publish a Christian music album, which flopped. Janie has Korean blood, no Negro blood. She met Jimi perhaps twice in her life, when she was very young, for about 10 minutes each time. What do you expect with women and money- nothing good can become of it!
@@rockyvarkhond2269 Redding & Mitchell both took (substantial at the time) lump sums in early '70s as a one-off buyout/settlement deal, they could have negotiated for continual royalties into the future etc but they did not.
I can't "admit" that until I have heard every single known and unknown bassist in rock and I haven't yet, so I can't allow myself to be that judgemental.
@@twezzo99 Hendrix played alot of the bass parts on the studio albums. And yes, Noel's bass playing was as simple as could be. He gave just enough to get the job done.

Noel, thank you for your part of a world wide phenomenon.
Redding's bass at Monterey was amazing... really powerful backing... guitar on rock me baby and purple haze etc.. underrated guy

Brilliant to hear Noel. There are not many interviews of this quality with him and the interviewer lets him speak.
Those 3 years he spent playing with Hendrix seems like 3 amazing lifetime experiences no pun intended.
we lent Noel a fender jazz bass when h came here to new zealand, i have albums signed, a postcard from Noel.
Kinda wish I could've met him, massive inspiration to me on Jimi's albums and he seems like a cool guy
Los comunitas beat you to that story 7 years ago.

Redding was ALWAYS the WEAK LINK.
He was a really awful bass player.
Billy Cox was 1000 times better and a better musical fit for Hendrix.
Noel is a good man for playing bass guitar for jimi
I think Noel and Mitch were a perfect match for Jimi. So glad that Noel cleared up the rumors about his hair. So true that Jimi and Mitch copied his curly hair and so did Eric Clapton.
There is video of Jimi saying "I dug his hairstyle so I asked him to join the group." (he said with a smile)
Jimi was born with curly hair.
How could you think so simplistically???

Noel used to play at our youth club the Dawson Rd Youth Club in Folkestone with the Lonely Ones and possible the Vikings cant remember now it was 1961
I remember when Noel lived at Aldington Knoll i saw his Gran beating him with her walking stick 😆
he came to new zealand and our bassist lent him a fender jazz bass for the gig he performed with "Shut up frank".
see my Noel Redding autographs vid
Good comment shame about the username
Great stuff. Thanks.
Looking forward to that, many thanks for all your uploads
Awesome, thanks a lot CACE INT'
Cace never let us down, is there more of this interview to follow ?
sadly Noel Mitch and Jimi all gone now in 2017 .
But their albums are still with us forever. The coolest band ever.
Their music was timeless - still sounds good in 2020.
They’re not gone, they are just together again...
Shame the audio was cut off?
Find it extremely weird that Noel never calls Jimi by his first name, only...Hendrix. Thanks for the trip Experience. *R.i.P.* Jimi~Noel~Mitch.
Probably says a lot about what Noel thought of Jimi. He seems real bitter in this interview.

@@nathanielhieb9271 I read his book years ago. It was one long whinge. I think he was bitter.......and jealous.
Hi Pigeon,
Not from this show, but will post later Jimi Hendrix series #7 and #8 and Juma (#11 or 12)
that's weird, I listened to this interview many times, now for no apparent reason, the audio is gone
please report to you tube.

And it's a very crowded place as well...
he seems far more together than mitch mitchell
Difference being...
Mitch could actually play his instrument with competence.
Well that ended abruptly.

There is no way they would of let Monika live if Jimi was murdered and Monika was a witness , thats not how things work
NO SOUND....
Jimi got ripped off from their manager sad.😮
Lovely guy. Terrible how they got so ripped off by the management, and then later by the estate.
I can go into detail if you really want but.. let's just say it is more nuanced than that

The video is corrupt
The 80s is the absolute worst. Everyone looks like chip off the ole block. Embarrassing
You gotta admit Noel really was the worst Bassist in rock! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This guy argued with Jimi all the time, Jimi had to play bass himself, when doing the studio takes
EXACTLY....
Jimi was a much better bassist than Redding.
Billy Cox was also far superior as a bassist.
Noel was way better
Redding sucked.
