I personally spoke with Jimi at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 and he told me he specifically loved all the bands (and Motown) you mentioned. However, he also mentioned 5 things he really did HATE --- clickbait, posers, influencers, the internet and camera phone addiction.
true but not LZ. Jimi praised both Jimmy Page and John Bonham as musicians but naturally Jimi would have intimately know all of the songs LZ ripped off on their first two albums.
Zeppelin borrowed from everybody (that’s very obvious) but it’s not like it’s a great sin. Everybody borrows from everyone and musicians call them their “influences.” It’s just that in Zeppelins case it was a little more obvious. No doubt they were a legendary and talented band though.
Most of Floyd’s most prolific music came out well after Hendrix died. The early stuff with Sid Barrett was simple by today’s standards but at the time in England it was progressive. I doubt Hendrix wasted any time criticizing other bands.
Hendrix didn't live long enough to appreciate Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd's classic 70s eras. And he died right before Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder started writing their own music on the Motown label. I'm sure he would have come around to a few of these. The Monkees and Jim Morrison incidents seemed much more personal.
I kinda have to agree with ya' man we're he to have lived to see some these bands develop further in their careers I'd like to think some of his opinions might have differed later on even though I do see Merritt in his opinion and these are some of my favorite groups , but even Jimi had his detractors 54yrs later it's a shame we'll never know. 🤔
Yeah pre-1970s Floyd and Zeppelin they hadn’t fully developed their sound. 1970-1975 were Zeppelin’s peak years. For Floyd it was 1973-1979 (Gilmour/Waters era).
Agreed, definitaly Pink Floyd with Dark Side. But he also said in an interview that he liked them somewhat in one instance. th-cam.com/video/vfVw8IZBXAM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ynP6l8InNasEU5Nm
I spoke to Jimi Hendrix when he was best man at my 5th wedding. The champagne really loosened his tongue and he presented me with a typed, laminated, list of pop stars that he hated. At the top were all the rappers (yes, all of them), then females (?) such as Beyonce, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, and all the usual suspects. Lastly, he had all the punk bands. Recently, I picked him up hitchhiking around Ireland and we laughed when I pulled the list out of the glove compartment.
@@echt114 Well, funny you should mention those businessmen, because one of their songs came on the radio when Jimi put his boot on the dash, just to chill, and he hit the button by mistake. He went apeshit and kicked the windscreen out, despite the pouring rain. We stopped the car and Jimi was so sorry for the damage that he lay across the hood of the vehicle to protect me from the howling gale and sideways rain. We reached Killarney as night was falling and the rain had abated somewhat. A guy in the garage there put a sheet of tarp over the hole. Next day, I took Jimi to see St. Brendan's, where I'd been to school. I dropped him off at the cathedral, where he said a few prayers--or wrote a few songs, I couldn't tell. Same thing, basically. Next day, we went out to the golf course and shot a few holes. I used a golf club and Jimi used a machine gun. We still keep in touch whenever he's hovering around the 3rd stone from the sun.
Just for some perspective, Jimi Hendrix died on September 18, 1970. Led Zeppelin had only been around 22 months and Led Zeppelin III and IV had not been released. Likewise, Hendrix died before the releases of Pink Floyd’s Atom Heart Mother, Meddle, or The Dark Side of the Moon, and before Floyd’s big stadium tours with light shows.
Obviously you don't know much about LZ. Otherwise, you are making excuses for them. LZ1 had 6 cover songs from 9 songs. LZ2 had 4 cover songs from 9 songs. The big hits such as Whole Lotta Love were a complete rip off. Whole Lotta Love was a double cover and stole the Small Faces cover of the original You Need Love.
I ll take jimi over any of those others . Always. Pages song writing grew morr inyeresting than the 1st album . I ll give them that. Gilmout and waterd song writing came along wsy too. But if u seen them in a club without the big production striped right down. I think u would get what jimi meant. As for morrison. Well when u get on stsge with jimi. U aint in the doors. . Different story. Jimi was the most incredible by far And thats a. Unanimous statement
@@eaglesonmusicgroupltdeagle8138 If you strip Floyd's songs back, you still get really nice songs.. Anyway Hendrix didn't dislike Floyd later(he did earlier in his career) he said something to the effect of' what people don't understand about Floyd is they are rocks mad scientists ' at this point he admired them.
@@eaglesonmusicgroupltdeagle8138 LZ were a band. Page did not exclusively write songs. He cannot be compared in any way shape or form to Hendrix. Robert Plant wrote the lyrics to Stairway
Ironically, Jimmy Page said he bumped into Hendrix in a club in 1969 (I think) but Hendrix was totally out of it and so Page couldn't talk to him properly as Hendrix was wasted.
@@lyndoncmp5751 SOME SAY HENDRIX WAS KILL WITH DRUGS BY THE cia BECAUSE HE WAS SO PROLIFIC AND INFLUENTIAL AND CREATIVE. The cia WAS RIGHT IN KILLING hENDRIX BECAUSE HE WAS THE FIRST TO RAISE THE VOLUME OF THE AMPLIFIERS TO SATURATION LEVELS, inventing by this way hard rock e, heavy , punk and other styles which rely in distortion and high amplification, bringing a decade , the 70's , of excesses followed by the 80's with more excesses even.
If you're refering to Jim Morrison, you got the substance wrong... The guy was mostly out of his mind on booze, not drugs. He didn't even need drugs to get to this level of inappropriate behaviour.
Not true, I completely disagree. I don't think Hendrick's said that or any other stuff.This is click bait. I don't think the man had hateful bone in his body. I think Jimi Hendrix , who seemed to be the essence of laid back and cool. Maybe before my time, but he was still laid back and cool even to the point of having a shyness about him. So it seemed... so I don't believe any of this stuff again. Click bait. Now, with Morrison, I can understand why Jimi wouldn't want to get on this stage with Morrison for him again. Nothing personal. Hendrix was just more like that than so many others who is just so cool. He had what seemed like such a kindness about him. Jimi Hendrix seemed so humble, and sweet. Like I said before my time but I have to go on the interview because that's all and I think this is click bait
Yes, of course it is superclick bait. All these uploads showing iconic artists giving the clicker a reason to think that your actually gonna see a real video of the artist actually expressing their own thoughts during an interview, when all you get is some overdubbed idiot vocably up aloading a load of bullshit. I believe its called sociological brainwash!
@@toddblanks yes I have to agree it was super quick bait It's so much easier to be nice than it is to be true or mean or say things about other people that aren't true
Some exceptionally poor journalism in evidence here: the selections by Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd were released long after Hendrix' death, and indeed much of the celebrated content of these bands came later. Also the lack of precise quotes, sources and excess use of paraphrasing make the entire report spurious. What Hendrix thought is lost in the lack of accuracy and context. 👎
@gisellechacon7081 Totally. Or at least, mostly. I think one or two bits were presented as straight quotes. It's a shame it was so twisted around, as it would be fun to know what Jimi actually said about his peers, including if he didn't like some of them and why. I think (too lazy to watch it again) the Motown comments were more quote-like, and it make sense given that he played on that scene for a while, where he probably had to wear a matching suit and do choreographed stage moves... but more credible reporting really would have been nice.
Not journalism, AI generated content. Look at the video description - “How this content was made - Altered or synthetic content. Sound or visuals were significantly edited or digitally generated.
The Monkees, especially Michael Nesmith, loved Jimi Hendrix ...... when Hendrix was booed off of the stage when he opened for the Monkees, Nesmith was embarrassed for him and felt like the audience had no taste.
@@josh-rz3uq Anybody that knows anything about the Monkees knows that they were criminally underrated. They had no taste because they booed Jimi Hendrix, not because they came to see the Monkees.
@@josh-rz3uq It was a 14 year old audience and band targeted to that market. It was Micki Dolenz and Peter Tork of the Monkees who cajoled Hendrix into touring wth them after seeing him at the Monterey concert in 1967. While Hendrix was on, all the girls are yelling "we want Davy! We want Davy!" [Davy Jones , the hearthrob of the group]. There are very few 14 year olds that have a fully developed frontal lobe or musical taste...so YES, they would pay to see the Monkees at that stage in life. There's a lot of people who are adults that wouldn't pay to see a George Gershwin tribute concert by an orchestra, with classical pianist, and broadway singers, and in my book, those people have NO musical taste either. From a former music teacher.
I actually spoke to Jimi for a brief moment at a bar in Louisiana in 1967. He told me what he hates more than any band is trap beat producers that use royalty free loops made by other producers and call themselves artists.
@@Micolash_is_behind_you Would not make a good last impression, but Hendrix made positive comments about Pink Floyd well before their time together on the Hendrix tour which was the Nov 67 tour and some shows Dec 67 such as Christmas On Earth which was hardly Floyd at their best, and they were relegated to doing 20 minute sets. During that tour Jimi called Syd "Laughing Syd Barrett" However Hendrix saw Pink Floyd at UFO several times during their prime between Jan to July of 1967. Obviously Syd was not in his best form during the Hendrix tour which came well after the noted breakdown at the end of July 67.
The lead influence in Gilmour style electric guitar is Jimi Hendrix. Jimi lIkes first Pink Floyd as anybody who likes Rock . Floyd are originals , as for Zeppelin they are incrdible band but it is certain that first and second album have a lot of covers. But Rolling stones first is all versions too, isn´t it? . After they developed much more his style. They are untouchables.Monkees are really crap. As for Morrison, Doors are untouchables as Rolling stones. He raise the hit parade with incredible song Light my fire. What a song!! Three weeks on the high . A song very large with a lot of instrumental music. Doors were the best american rock band in sixties without doubt. A shame that they didn´t collaborate between themselves in his albums. But there is a bootleg where both are playing together in a jamsession.
Oh, shut up. There's tons of old JH interviews available if you care to look for them. To me, these comments seem pretty much in character for Hendrix.
@@christheother9088 You cant really do THAT :) believe me.. I tried. It was all just a legato played by his left hand there.. oh, his right hand, cos he was a leftie
When Jimi visited me in my underwater kingdom of Atlantis, he told me he loved getting really high and listening to "Dark Side of the Moon" in a dark room...
The day Hendrix death was announced, Zep were playing an afternoon, and evening show at MSG in NY and Zep dedicated the evening show to Hendrix, with Page inserting some Hendrix riffs and phrasings in several tunes. Zep was absolutely devastated by the loss of Hendrix. Regardless of what Hendrix thought of Zep, if he had Peter Grant as his manager, the man might still be alive today.
I was somewhat surprised Jimi hated Led Zep, The Doors, and Pink Floyd. so, whatever, it's his opinion...I hated The Monkees back then too, but today i think their songs are actually better than the bland crap they call pop music today.
He just didn't get along with Jim Morrison, but I'd bet he liked the band as a whole. As for Led Zep, and Pink Floyd, I don't like them much either; they have some good songs and all, but I could not for the life of me sit through a whole album from either of them,
The Jim Morrison stories are true. After a big gig , Jimmy and Janis Joplin were jamming in a New York club, and Morrison made a total wanker of himself . He was also extremely rude to Joplin
@@gavintuesday4959I suppose we'll never know for sure, we weren't there. I have read that Janis and Jim Morrison had beef with each other. I'm a huge fan of all of them, the only thing that's certain in my mind is that they'll never be forgotten and their music lives on....
3:01 in the vid: it reads Jimi said he hated the SPOT they put him to play: right before the Monkees came up. Just not the audience for Jimi's band. It also reads he got along with (at least) two of the Monkees.
I can see why Jimi dismissed Morrison. Jimi was a stoner and a peacenik, Morrison was a drunk, and drunks can get really obnoxious, violent, and embarrassing. The fact is, though, that Jimi was clearly heavily influenced by the blues - “Voodoo Child” is a rewrite of Son House’s “ Death Letter Blues,” for example - and such modern jazz people as Wes Montgomery, Larry Coryell, Sandy Bull, and John McLaughlin. When Morrison could get temporarily sober, The Doors were equally professional and sophisticated, which is why their music is still fresh and valid.
Robby Krieger is an amazing guitar player, a "less is more but make it count" kind of guitar player. John Densmore, incredible drummer with lots of jazz references. These 2 are the best of the Doors.
@@Delilah70 He probably just never forgave Morrison for that night at the scene - crashing a version of Bleeding Heart just to shout out a list of his hobbies - you're "singing" it now, aren't you - all together now..."fuck you in the ass ...eat a little pussy..."
@@Dancerlayla-z6g Jimi Hendrix didn't die from alcohol per se. His official cause of death was due to asphyxia from vomit and barbituate intoxication. Consuming lots of alcohol wasn't his drug of choice. Dying from alcohol implies that he had sclerosis of the liver which the autopsy didn't indicate.
Oh, shut up. There's tons of old JH interviews available if you care to look for them. You don't need to be bff with the guy find out info of the kind that's in this clip.
@@michaelpowell7120 and you ? another assuming human who does not know me or my background, our Family had a connection to the Hendrix fFamily , now, you old Dick, google the Vancouver connection to Jimi and try to refrain from casting shadowy insults from behind a keyboard at those you would disagree with And i have no insight ? (incite ? ) For those reading these comments One of Jimi's old friends and tech's runs an organic Blueberry farm in the Fraser Valley.
The one that is true and that you have missed of course is The Beach Boys, there is a quote along the lines of "We ain't never gonna listen to surf guitar again!" I believe it may have been from Monterrey. But I don't think he even "hated" The Beach Boys, "Psychedelic barber shop quartet". It just wasn't his style. However, had he lived longer I think he would have mellowed and seen that we all have a place on this planet. Anyway, I still hear The Beach Boys everyday on my Oldies Radio Station so we are still listening to it, God bless Carl Wilson!
The quote, "And you'll never hear surf music again". Comes from his 1st album, from the song "Third Stone From The Sun". Around the 4:28 mark. And to this day, I cannot STAND the peach boys.😆 The only surf music I can listen to are the Ventures.
His criticisms of LZ resonate with me even tho they're in my top 5 fave rock bands. The artists they "borrowed" from got paid eventually, but by then a lot of their lives was already in the past, and they'd deserved to get that money while they were still young. His criticisms of PF made sense _at the time._ Jim Morrison was certainly a drunken jerk at times. The Monkees were created as a TV band, nothing much should be expected of them, their biggest hits were written by others.
Some of the artists they "borrowed" from were already dead...the Estate of the artists got it. Regardless, many of them , especially the blues artists would have been languishing in obscurity if they hadn't been rediscovered esp by the British Blues Rock artists of the 60's. They probably made more money from LZ and others covering their tunes than they'd earned before or would have.
Led Zeppelin didn't "borrow" shit, Led Zeppelin literally stole other people's songs and credited them to themselves ! Compare the songwriting credits on Zeppelin's original albums to the songwriting credits on Zeppelin's re-issued albums ! NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCE ????????? The original artists got paid only when the Led Zeppelin plagiarists were confronted by serious legal action. Led Zeppelin were the lowest of thieving mangy dogs !
I agree with this. Any criticism of LZ is valid . He wasn’t the only one. But while validating criticisms their music soars with and above the best . For 100% Authenticity you will end up writing two tracks a year.
Exactly how I feel, except for Motown. Motown is for times when you just want to BBQ or sit by a pool and soak up some sun. Good times music is fine with me.
A lady who lives around the corner from me went to see the Monkees as a teen in the old Odeon Renfield Street Glasgow and walked out on the support act, Jimi Hendrix.
The monkees& hendrix only played 7 shows together,Jacksonville,2 in n carolina,4 in nyc,none in england or outside east coast of USA.so your lady is full of manure
Hendrix didn't really "hate" any of these. He didn't think much of Led Zeppelin because he knew the plagiarism. The Monkees- well he toured with them but they were the total opposite of his music. And he was actually friends with Jim Morrison.
lol 3:03 I have the record of that performance, Hendrix is casually playing guitar while a completely drunken Morrison is constantly yelling into the microphone "f^k her right in the a^^ " !! I could see why Hendrix would be mad and I can't stop laughing LOL
Strange that Jimi thought Motown music was lacking in genuine emotion… classic recordings like Dancing In The Street, Shop Around, Ball of Confusion etc are so emotionally charged they can move you to tears!
_It was the third of September / That day I'll always remember / Coz that was the day / That my daddy died_ Nope, no emotion there at all! _Tears of a Clown_ - nothing to do with emotion _Sitting on the Dock of the Bay_ - pure triteness
Probably dug more rawness in music and not the highly "polished" sound of Motown. I can relate to his take on Motown. Not a bad thing mind you, but just a opinion.
Motown, with its string sections and marching rhythms, was more polished than Atlantic with Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin, and Stax with Otis Redding and Isaac Hayes, and all the other smaller labels that had everyone from James Brown to Solomon Burke to Al Green. Before he became a star Jimi played on the chitlin circuit with Little Richard and the Isley Brothers -- he probably preferred the more down home stuff.
Bowie felt the same way about Motown music. He said Pennsylvania was the true home of R&B, and that Motown was given the credit, after stealing it, for political reasons.
Speak for yourself! I hate Dancing in the Street, for one, and obv although there were some talented people at Motown it was basically manufactured music - a hit factory.
Hendrix' equipment manager Gerry Stickells said "He liked the Zeppelin and had their records" and girlfriend Kathy Etchingham confirmed this when an interview in "Guitar World" magazine elicited the fact that he had a copy of "Led Zeppelin II" in his record collection at their Montague Street flat in London. He also liked Motown, played for the Isley Brothers and basically copied James Jamerson's bass style when he recorded his version of "All along the Watchtower", which Noel Redding had refused to play on.
Well, he's quoted dissing Motown quite heavily here so... And Motown was regarded as exrtremely polished and commercial 'assembly line-produced' music at the time. It makes sense that it wasn't his cup of tea.
I literally screamed when I heard that Hendrix hated Zeppelin. I love Hendrix but Zeppelin is my all time favorite. Just because you have an album your collection doesn’t mean you like the album. You have to have it to listen to it but then you can hate it and still have it in your collection but I hope you’re right.
I visited Jimi, at the time in LA's history that he lived in the Afton aparments and before I went to Vietnam.. Some of his friends called him Marshal Dillon, kind of after Gunsmoke. James Marshal Hendrix. Anyway as we sat in his living room he played. I could of swore he was playing like voices almost making his guitar sound like it was talking. He was that GOOD. I never saw him again and sadly he came to a tragic end.
@@alanstrom2221 People often confuse could've for could of and Jimi's ingenious use of his wah wah pedal and phrasing made it seem like words were coming from his guitar.
@@alanstrom2221 ...curiously enough that is why I went to his place, to score a hit of acid. He had and gave me one hit, a strawberry barrel. Jimmy was a friend of Odin Fong in Laguna Canyon's Orange Sunshine crowd. However I was 100% straight when we were in the aparment and he was picking. The correction, well through it all, I suppose picking apart gives you the loss. An unexpeced consequence of .....well, carry-on.. NEVERHELESS, I thought Jim could make the guitar talk in the months to come.. Thinking back, I did see him again at the Wisky on Sunset...
There seem to be some misconceptions regarding the Monkees. Yes, early in their career, much of their work was recorded by studio musicians-a common practice at the time primarily due to time constraints and budget. However, in 1967, the Monkees gained more agency in their creative direction and began playing the bulk of their own instruments. Listen to their albums Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. (1967) and Head (1968) for evidence of their talent, as both albums are held in high regard. Peter Tork and Michael Nesmith were highly respected in the LA rock scene.
on Head among others are steve stills ,neil young, Ry Cooder, carole King, ,Leon Russel ,earl palmer king of session drummers,& a host of like 30 others
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but the Monkees NEVER contributed anything meanigful to the music that was put out "as" them. The only member of the band that had ANY amount of musical talent/knowledge was Tork, and even THAT was a pretty low bar. Nesmith knew it for what it was, and got frustrated with Tork, for not realizing what they were/what was going on, and accepting it.
1) Led Zeppelin 2) Pink Floyd 3) The Monkees 4) The Doors (Mostly Jim Morrison though) 5) some Motown bands Jimi had worked with (not named specifically)
@@cbotten106 The Monkees were never meant to be anything other than a fictional band for the TV show of the same name. However, they were actually pretty good.
@@richardnolan3903 Most of their album songs were played by studio musicians, including Neil Diamond. The Wrecking Crew was also responsible for a lot of their studio compilations. Unless you've seen them live, it's hard to tell how good/bad they were instrumentally.
I always remind Zep haters . There isn't a band on earth that is totally original . We all learn and are influenced by someone before us . Zep weren't afraid to take any genre and make it their own .
@@rcameron4091 Yeah, and unlike Led Zeppelin, people like Jimi Hendrix gave credit where credit was due without being dragged into court. Led Zeppelin literally stole other people's music and claimed it as their own ! Take a look at the songwriting credits on Zeppelin's original albums, and compare them to the songwriting credits on Zeppelin's re-issued albums !!! NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCE ??????? When Eric Clapton covered a JJ Cale song, he gave credit to JJ Cale; when Jimi Hendrix covered a Bob Dylan song he gave credit to Bob Dylan. That's the difference between plagiarizing mangy dogs like Led Zeppelin and people like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Pete Townshend. It's called integrity, and that's something thieves like Led Zeppelin never had !!!!!!
Willie Dixon stole the majority of his songs from country buskers fresh off the bus from the Delta or wherever. "Here's $20, play that again." He was a broke junkie in the South Side by the 70s, and would've remained that way if not for Zep and his lawsuit.
To dismiss Led Zeppelin as just copycats is rather ignorant. They had some of the greatest musicians in the group and they rocked like no one else before them They are legend
Most amazing guitarist produced by this planet, however... If Zepplin didn't redo the old blues tunes by black artists, you'd never know their names today. Morrison was an unhinged drunk and a boor. Why would he, even if broke, agree to a bill with the Monkees? Pink Floyd? Why would he care? Apples and oranges. What would he think of the shite, tripe and crap of today? He'd have to be hospitalized...
The funny thing is that Pink Floyd and the Monkees toured with Hendrix. I can’t help but wonder who he would have listened to in this day and age. I’m guessing everyone who came out of the CBGB’s.
I do know that Terry Kath was one of Hendrix's favorite guitar players. As for what the future looked like for Jimi, he wanted to get more into Jazz and orchestrated music. There are a few tunes that he actually got out that had that production. Chances are, he would have been entertained by that style today, along with other genres as he himself wrote across the board.
@@JackSparrow-yb3lq I recalled that from the first time I saw an interview where he said exactly that, so yeah, plus the kind of person he was...no real hate :)
I need advice: I'm looking for good stoner bands from the 60's and 70's. I first got really into The Doors for a few month's then Jimi Hendrix and now I'm kinda getting burned out. What are some bands I should try next. I like how grungy Jimi Hendrix get's on the guitar.
Being a genius doesn't mean you're always right about everything. He was very focused on a particular kind of music. He didn't need to know about anything else, and for the most part, he didn't.
Considering that Tork and Nesmith and Mickey Dolenz all talked about what a great guy Jimi was and how they all hung out while they were touring I don't put much faith in this.Granted at that point The Monkees hadn't started recording their own material but I think Jimi was being sarcastic when he said that he hated them.
Wasn't Nesmith the only musician? They weren't hired as musicians but as comedy actors. I'm sure Hendrix knew that. The fact that they had to learn to play basic tunes at least to go on tour is fantastic, and something that wouldn't happen now. The show would all be mimed and no-one would care. I loved The Monkees as a kid...
@@gomezthechimp1116 Peter Tork was a folk singer from New York and could play something like 8 different instruments.Dolenz could play guitar and drums and had one of the first Moog synthesizer.The first two albums were produced by Don Kirshner and they basically sang over pre recorded tracks.Nesmith and Tork rebelled because when they signed on they were promised some degree of studio work.Their third album was played by the 4 of them along with the producer and a horn player.They used studio musicians on the latter albums but played on them.
Hendrix is the most overrated musician of al time. Somit good Songs, but permanent Feedback, terrible singing. Destriying perfekt guitars by burning them. What a bloody bastard
I think it's the remarks made in this video are BS.. Being old enough to remember Jimi Hendrix he was a mellow guy who sometimes didn't even take himself seriously,, and everything that was happening was cool to him,, he never appeared to be a type of person that would insult or put someone down. He always just expressed a lot of love,,,peace and love.
Zep's "borrowing" is not a sin in my book, but rather not giving credit. I enjoy great reinterpretations of older material, but Zep should have acknowledged them.
It’s theft, by every definition . Theft and specifically plagiarism, as in passing off work that it not yours is a sin in the art world . Go back to English language class . Ffs . Zeppelin fan boys really are idiots
There were at least half a dozen songs where Zeppelin did credit others, without prompting. Including 2 on the first album. There were another 2 songs they didnt claim they wrote.
From what Page has said, he instructed Plant to change the lyrics, and Plant didn't alter them. Though the music was original enough to be free of copyright, there are quite a few Zep songs that borrowed heavily enough in lyrics that I don't believe Page's take; as well as I don't think Page would release anything he had a problem with. I whole heartedly agree credit should have been given to the original artists from the get go
Remember this when someone says your favourite band is not going places / is not talented, people. It's just humans criticising humans, usually because no matter their knowledge and experience, they can't understand what's following their own golden era (or they simply have different taste).
Didn't like gimmicks? The man who set guitar on fire? Integrity of performance? Out of tune and playing with teeth? Motown was badass. So much great music. Didn't like Motor City jam? Huh. Well anyway...Jiminy certainly got credit for his contributions. RIP
I believe the guitar playing with his teeth was seen as cunnilingus .Then Morrison exposing himself on stage numerous times.Neither one was better than the other!
@@christineobrien7707 He NEVER played a guitar with his teeth.. it cant be done, just try it :) I did.. utter nonsence, gimmick.. the notes you hear are his fingerboard hand playing legato... yep, he fooled so many :))
Well said Stuart,I was lucky enough to see him in 1967 when i was 15. He was the 'dog's bollocks' then and he still is now. Often imitated never equalled.
Clearly, Jimi was actually praising LED ZEPPELIN when he said "They STEAL from EVERYBODY!" As another great artist opined, Good Artists copy, GREAT ARTISTS STEAL!😂😄😆😃😄😁😀🤣😅
@@wz2001 Thanks! Good to know! Where did you read that? I remember reading someplace that all those bands like The Who, The Stones, The Beatles, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, all hung out at the same place in London. So they all knew each other.
He did have criticism of all of them this is overblown he did say zeppelin borrowed too much but said Bonham had afoot like a rabbit said page was a good player but didn't listen to them
Idk he might find them too sex charged with their lyrics. That’s also how Kurt felt about them. Especially if Jimi had a strong moral compass he might not have liked it 🤷🏻♀️
He really got into Led Zeppelin II later in 1970 according to one of his technician friends. He was a latecomer to Zeppelin but he got there in the end. A lot of people didn't 'get' Zeppelin at first, but caught onto them eventually. Seems like Jimi was one of them.
@graciekattan6618 Hendrix? The guy who got his penis plaster cast by Cynthia Plaster Caster, to be put on display in her collection of penis casts? That guy? Moral compass? 😂
This video was created to try to start a controversy. This is BS Hendrix sang other peoples songs Like Hey Joe it was sung by The Leaves on American Band Stand. Along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan, it's just two songs by other artist that Jimi Hendrix did. I'm no expert but I will look up to see if Jimi Hendrix did say "That he hated the Bands" mentioned in this video.
Specifically about Pink Floyd - Jimi died in 1970 and never had a chance to listen to their really great albums Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and more. Maybe he would change his mind if he had this chance. In fact he hadn't listen much of Zeppelin neither - probably only the first and second album.😎😀
When I met Hendrix after his Woodstock appearance, he asked me if I liked it. I said “nah, I didn’t take any acid.” He was like “man I get you.” I subsequently drank a bottle of Jack Daniel’s and saw Pete Townshend, he hit me and Abbie Hoffman over the head, nearly killing us. After that I decided to be a Carpenters fan. A band Jimi idolized
Hendrix comment on floyd was early on in his career. Later he actually admired pink floyd saying they were the mad rock scientist of the day. Hendrix wasnt afraid of calling a spade a spade but he was big enough to accept when he was wrong. He would have loved later floyd and zep
Pink Floyd came into prominence well after Jimi Hendrix died in September 1970. 'Dark Side of the Moon' came out in 1973. I seriously doubt whether any of the rest is true.
this is all based on hearsay - Jimi wasn't known to distain music, his onus was what it was, but all the things he mentions competed with his brand, that's simple to see. This is puerile juvenile revisionism of a substandard content creator
I think this is a bit exaggerated. Like others said, Floyd and LZ hit their stride after he OD'd. Jim Morrison was a tool, but most of The Doors music was pretty darn original. Of course, The Monkees were lightweights (with some decent pop songs) but the "entire" Motown sound? Nope.
I bought Electric Ladyland and although I liked some of it the majority of it was irritating noise. Originality? Like All Along the Watchtower? Who did Bob Dylan copy that from?
Jimi Hendrix died in 1970. That was a long time before these bands did anything close to their best material. He would have loved Zeppelin later on and he would have fawned over album works of art by Pink Floyd. Not sure why the Studio Number Six clown didnt do some basic homework. Using clips from Dark Side of the Moon was really pathetic and ironic.
I met Jimi backstage at the Filmore, He told me hated Steely Dan, he hated their "curlycue" guitar and their sophmoric lyrics, he also told me he really hated ABBA and The Talking Heads. He also told me their was an 11 year kid named Stevie Ray Vance or something like that that steals everything from everyone!
Regarding all the _who hated who in music_ series, is there any sense (sensation?) in delving into? Is alleged _hate_ the proper way to consider differences in taste? Seems to me sort of tabloid stuff and I discourage music fans from that.
I agree with him on everything except Motown. Motown was "polished" but MELODIC, which is why it stood the test of time. Most hard rock/metal/classic rock/prog rock/counter-culture rock musicians & their fans totally dismiss ANYTHING with melody. Perhaps the reason why rock bands like Journey, Foreigner, The Police, Van Halen (Sammy Hagar era), Genesis & others were dismissed by rock "purists" after the bands starting exploring the full circle of fifths (scale modes/key signatures) to write new material. I agree with Jimi on the others outside of Motown. Even though I'm a Zeppelin fan, THEY DID rip a lot from other bands & artists
Don't waste your time on this video.. If Hendrix never killed himself, he'd be jammin with Page, Clapton, Jeff Beck, Gilmour, etc. If he was alive today, at 81 yrs old, he'd probably be playing with Ringo's All-Star band. Only thing worse than Rock'n Roll snobs is Jazz snobs.
Purple Haze all in my brain All I have is distain Can't read music Or play a Guitar But can do heroin Til he goes insane Every single statement is 100% percent Truth !
Led Zeppelin covering songs? Jimi Hendrix: All Along The Watchtower, I Was Made To Love Her, Day Tripper, Hound Dog, Born Under A Bad Sign, Killing Floor, Like A Rolling Stone, Wild Thing , Hey Joe. People in glass houses.
@@williamfarr8807Zeppelin transformed old songs by arranging them into master pieces. But you’re right they should have paid their dues when they recorded the songs. However it’s bollocks to say they plagiarised everything. Such a small amount when you look at their canon of work over a twelve year period.
@@nicholasprotz4297agreed. It's usually jealous Beatles or Stones fans that hype up the 'stole' mantra. The songs they took from were virtually unknown and their versions of them are light years ahead in terms of arrangements and performance.
LZ had 10 cover songs from 18 songs on their first two albums (which Jimi would have heard). Jimi had 3 cover songs from 46 songs on his first three albums. Or lets say 1 cover from 30 songs on his first 2 albums. Big difference.
@@nicholasprotz4297 whole lotta love was their big song. It was a cover of a cover. Why don't you listen to the Small Faces version to see how it was ripped off
Some of this is BS. Hendrix was not against polished material and using the studio to create new sounds. The song "Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland)" sounds very Motown to me and the entire "Electric Ladyland" album was beautifully recorded.
Hendrix completely changed guitar for every group ever after. Most people don't realize this fact. Listen to the dopey riffs before he burst on the scene. Rest in Peace Jimi.
People used to say that Jimmi Hendrix was the best guitarist. I never understood why. There are many players that are much better outside of rock music. I believe people said that just in case the N word slipped from their mouth and they could use that as cover. Same reason people say they look up to Obama. Just in case...
I saw Jimi just once at the San Bernardino showgrounds and he rushed through the Hits , but when it came time to play Voodoo Chile his eyes lit up and he made that guitar sing , growl , and grown . Music history
Led Zep were notorious thieves, but they certainly had talent. I agree with Hendrix about PF and the Monkees. Although the Doors were a great band instrumentally (especially Manzarek) I feel Morrison was a poseur (a word I don't often use). I very much disagree with JH about Motown--there was nothing "artificial" about them. In fact, they were, I believe, the most successful Black-owned record company!
I don’t feed into clips. Musicians criticize to make themselves look superior and there’s a very fine line between copying and being influenced by each other.
This was an excellently made video. The outro to Voodoo Child Slight Return in Sweden especially to cap it off was perfect. That fade, just when the pig in his guitar starts squealing, perfect man.

Hendrix spent more time praising and welcoming musicians than he did crapping all over them. So I think a lot of what is put together here is BS.
No - Carman Appice says much of the same in live interviews.
true but not LZ. Jimi praised both Jimmy Page and John Bonham as musicians but naturally Jimi would have intimately know all of the songs LZ ripped off on their first two albums.
@worldgonewrong2049....That's kind of what I thought. I left a comment but I should've questioned the integrity of this video first.
Zeppelin borrowed from everybody (that’s very obvious) but it’s not like it’s a great sin. Everybody borrows from everyone and musicians call them their “influences.” It’s just that in Zeppelins case it was a little more obvious. No doubt they were a legendary and talented band though.
Most of Floyd’s most prolific music came out well after Hendrix died. The early stuff with Sid Barrett was simple by today’s standards but at the time in England it was progressive. I doubt Hendrix wasted any time criticizing other bands.
Hendrix didn't live long enough to appreciate Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd's classic 70s eras. And he died right before Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder started writing their own music on the Motown label. I'm sure he would have come around to a few of these. The Monkees and Jim Morrison incidents seemed much more personal.
I kinda have to agree with ya' man we're he to have lived to see some these bands develop further in their careers I'd like to think some of his opinions might have differed later on even though I do see Merritt in his opinion and these are some of my favorite groups , but even Jimi had his detractors 54yrs later it's a shame we'll never know. 🤔
Yeah pre-1970s Floyd and Zeppelin they hadn’t fully developed their sound. 1970-1975 were Zeppelin’s peak years. For Floyd it was 1973-1979 (Gilmour/Waters era).
He might not have liked the Doors or the Monkees but he used to hang out with Mickey Dolenz and Jim Morrison and have drinking competitions..
Agreed, definitaly Pink Floyd with Dark Side. But he also said in an interview that he liked them somewhat in one instance.

I spoke to Jimi Hendrix when he was best man at my 5th wedding. The champagne really loosened his tongue and he presented me with a typed, laminated, list of pop stars that he hated. At the top were all the rappers (yes, all of them), then females (?) such as Beyonce, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, and all the usual suspects. Lastly, he had all the punk bands. Recently, I picked him up hitchhiking around Ireland and we laughed when I pulled the list out of the glove compartment.
Thanks I needed the laugh 😂
I fear you may be mistaken. Jimi always holidays in the Highlands these days and rides a Honda 50.
😂😂😂😂😂
Ireland? OK, just tell me he hated U2 and I'll be fine with Jimi.
@@echt114 Well, funny you should mention those businessmen, because one of their songs came on the radio when Jimi put his boot on the dash, just to chill, and he hit the button by mistake. He went apeshit and kicked the windscreen out, despite the pouring rain. We stopped the car and Jimi was so sorry for the damage that he lay across the hood of the vehicle to protect me from the howling gale and sideways rain. We reached Killarney as night was falling and the rain had abated somewhat. A guy in the garage there put a sheet of tarp over the hole. Next day, I took Jimi to see St. Brendan's, where I'd been to school. I dropped him off at the cathedral, where he said a few prayers--or wrote a few songs, I couldn't tell. Same thing, basically. Next day, we went out to the golf course and shot a few holes. I used a golf club and Jimi used a machine gun. We still keep in touch whenever he's hovering around the 3rd stone from the sun.
Just for some perspective, Jimi Hendrix died on September 18, 1970. Led Zeppelin had only been around 22 months and Led Zeppelin III and IV had not been released. Likewise, Hendrix died before the releases of Pink Floyd’s Atom Heart Mother, Meddle, or The Dark Side of the Moon, and before Floyd’s big stadium tours with light shows.
I don't think he would have changed his mind on Zeppelin stealing songs - he didn't say they were bad, just that they stole material
Obviously you don't know much about LZ. Otherwise, you are making excuses for them. LZ1 had 6 cover songs from 9 songs. LZ2 had 4 cover songs from 9 songs. The big hits such as Whole Lotta Love were a complete rip off. Whole Lotta Love was a double cover and stole the Small Faces cover of the original You Need Love.
I ll take jimi over any of those others . Always.
Pages song writing grew morr inyeresting than the 1st album . I ll give them that.
Gilmout and waterd song writing came along wsy too. But if u seen them in a club without the big production striped right down. I think u would get what jimi meant.

You know your drug use is out of control when Hendrix thinks you’re too stoned and your behavior is inappropriate.
Ironically, Jimmy Page said he bumped into Hendrix in a club in 1969 (I think) but Hendrix was totally out of it and so Page couldn't talk to him properly as Hendrix was wasted.

Some exceptionally poor journalism in evidence here: the selections by Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd were released long after Hendrix' death, and indeed much of the celebrated content of these bands came later. Also the lack of precise quotes, sources and excess use of paraphrasing make the entire report spurious. What Hendrix thought is lost in the lack of accuracy and context. 👎
@gisellechacon7081 Totally. Or at least, mostly. I think one or two bits were presented as straight quotes. It's a shame it was so twisted around, as it would be fun to know what Jimi actually said about his peers, including if he didn't like some of them and why. I think (too lazy to watch it again) the Motown comments were more quote-like, and it make sense given that he played on that scene for a while, where he probably had to wear a matching suit and do choreographed stage moves... but more credible reporting really would have been nice.

There are very few 14 year olds that have a fully developed frontal lobe or musical taste...so YES, they would pay to see the Monkees at that stage in life. There's a lot of people who are adults that wouldn't pay to see a George Gershwin tribute concert by an orchestra, with classical pianist, and broadway singers, and in my book, those people have NO musical taste either. From a former music teacher.
I actually spoke to Jimi for a brief moment at a bar in Louisiana in 1967. He told me what he hates more than any band is trap beat producers that use royalty free loops made by other producers and call themselves artists.

Would not make a good last impression, but
Hendrix made positive comments about Pink Floyd well before their time together on the Hendrix tour which was the Nov 67 tour and some shows Dec 67 such as Christmas On Earth which was hardly Floyd at their best, and they were relegated to doing 20 minute sets. During that tour Jimi called Syd "Laughing Syd Barrett"
However Hendrix saw Pink Floyd at UFO several times during their prime between Jan to July of 1967. Obviously Syd was not in his best form during the Hendrix tour which came well after the noted breakdown at the end of July 67.

The lead influence in Gilmour style electric guitar is Jimi Hendrix. Jimi lIkes first Pink Floyd as anybody who likes Rock . Floyd are originals , as for Zeppelin they are incrdible band but it is certain that first and second album have a lot of covers. But Rolling stones first is all versions too, isn´t it? . After they developed much more his style. They are untouchables.Monkees are really crap. As for Morrison, Doors are untouchables as Rolling stones. He raise the hit parade with incredible song Light my fire. What a song!! Three weeks on the high . A song very large with a lot of instrumental music. Doors were the best american rock band in sixties without doubt. A shame that they didn´t collaborate between themselves in his albums. But there is a bootleg where both are playing together in a jamsession.
This is bogus. I have lots of reservations about what he supposedly said.

The day Hendrix death was announced, Zep were playing an afternoon, and evening show at MSG in NY and Zep dedicated the evening show to Hendrix, with Page inserting some Hendrix riffs and phrasings in several tunes. Zep was absolutely devastated by the loss of Hendrix. Regardless of what Hendrix thought of Zep, if he had Peter Grant as his manager, the man might still be alive today.
I was somewhat surprised Jimi hated Led Zep, The Doors, and Pink Floyd. so, whatever, it's his opinion...I hated The Monkees back then too, but today i think their songs are actually better than the bland crap they call pop music today.
He just didn't get along with Jim Morrison, but I'd bet he liked the band as a whole. As for Led Zep, and Pink Floyd, I don't like them much either; they have some good songs and all, but I could not for the life of me sit through a whole album from either of them,
The Jim Morrison stories are true. After a big gig , Jimmy and Janis Joplin were jamming in a New York club, and Morrison made a total wanker of himself . He was also extremely rude to Joplin

It also reads he got along with (at least) two of the Monkees.
I can see why Jimi dismissed Morrison. Jimi was a stoner and a peacenik, Morrison was a drunk, and drunks can get really obnoxious, violent, and embarrassing. The fact is, though, that Jimi was clearly heavily influenced by the blues - “Voodoo Child” is a rewrite of Son House’s “ Death Letter Blues,” for example - and such modern jazz people as Wes Montgomery, Larry Coryell, Sandy Bull, and John McLaughlin. When Morrison could get temporarily sober, The Doors were equally professional and sophisticated, which is why their music is still fresh and valid.
Robby Krieger is an amazing guitar player, a "less is more but make it count" kind of guitar player. John Densmore, incredible drummer with lots of jazz references. These 2 are the best of the Doors.
@@Delilah70 He probably just never forgave Morrison for that night at the scene - crashing a version of Bleeding Heart just to shout out a list of his hobbies - you're "singing" it now, aren't you - all together now..."fuck you in the ass ...eat a little pussy..."

The one that is true and that you have missed of course is The Beach Boys, there is a quote along the lines of "We ain't never gonna listen to surf guitar again!" I believe it may have been from Monterrey. But I don't think he even "hated" The Beach Boys, "Psychedelic barber shop quartet". It just wasn't his style. However, had he lived longer I think he would have mellowed and seen that we all have a place on this planet.

Its on lp are you experienced,I think on 3rd stone,Jimi was actually a big fan of dick dale and visa versa

Jimi hendrix didn't hate anything or anybody.
He was an Evolved Being.
His criticisms of LZ resonate with me even tho they're in my top 5 fave rock bands. The artists they "borrowed" from got paid eventually, but by then a lot of their lives was already in the past, and they'd deserved to get that money while they were still young. His criticisms of PF made sense _at the time._ Jim Morrison was certainly a drunken jerk at times. The Monkees were created as a TV band, nothing much should be expected of them, their biggest hits were written by others.
Some of the artists they "borrowed" from were already dead...the Estate of the artists got it. Regardless, many of them , especially the blues artists would have been languishing in obscurity if they hadn't been rediscovered esp by the British Blues Rock artists of the 60's. They probably made more money from LZ and others covering their tunes than they'd earned before or would have.
Led Zeppelin didn't "borrow" shit, Led Zeppelin literally stole other people's songs and credited them to themselves !
Compare the songwriting credits on Zeppelin's original albums to the songwriting credits on Zeppelin's re-issued albums !
NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCE ?????????
The original artists got paid only when the Led Zeppelin plagiarists were confronted by serious legal action.
Led Zeppelin were the lowest of thieving mangy dogs !
I agree with this. Any criticism of LZ is valid . He wasn’t the only one. But while validating criticisms their music soars with and above the best . For 100% Authenticity you will end up writing two tracks a year.
Oddly enough, the 4 bands that were named all sold more albums during their tenure than JH.......
Exactly how I feel, except for Motown. Motown is for times when you just want to BBQ or sit by a pool and soak up some sun. Good times music is fine with me.
A lady who lives around the corner from me went to see the Monkees as a teen in the old Odeon Renfield Street Glasgow and walked out on the support act, Jimi Hendrix.

The monkees& hendrix only played 7 shows together,Jacksonville,2 in n carolina,4 in nyc,none in england or outside east coast of USA.so your lady is full of manure
Jimi didnt support the Monkeys in Scotland.Only in America and only for a couple weeks
Hendrix didn't really "hate" any of these. He didn't think much of Led Zeppelin because he knew the plagiarism. The Monkees- well he toured with them but they were the total opposite of his music. And he was actually friends with Jim Morrison.
the Morrison bit is mostly true…
never thought much of, and/ or really liked zep. the who, n the kinks were better.
Hate is a strong word mate... and dont forget Jimi wasn't the most original all of the time, and used gimmicks.
lol 3:03 I have the record of that performance, Hendrix is casually playing guitar while a completely drunken Morrison is constantly yelling into the microphone "f^k her right in the a^^ " !! I could see why Hendrix would be mad and I can't stop laughing LOL
Strange that Jimi thought Motown music was lacking in genuine emotion… classic recordings like Dancing In The Street, Shop Around, Ball of Confusion etc are so emotionally charged they can move you to tears!
_It was the third of September / That day I'll always remember / Coz that was the day / That my daddy died_
Nope, no emotion there at all!
_Tears of a Clown_ - nothing to do with emotion
_Sitting on the Dock of the Bay_ - pure triteness
Probably dug more rawness in music and not the highly "polished" sound of Motown. I can relate to his take on Motown. Not a bad thing mind you, but just a opinion.
Motown, with its string sections and marching rhythms, was more polished than Atlantic with Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin, and Stax with Otis Redding and Isaac Hayes, and all the other smaller labels that had everyone from James Brown to Solomon Burke to Al Green. Before he became a star Jimi played on the chitlin circuit with Little Richard and the Isley Brothers -- he probably preferred the more down home stuff.
Bowie felt the same way about Motown music. He said Pennsylvania was the true home of R&B, and that Motown was given the credit, after stealing it, for political reasons.
Speak for yourself! I hate Dancing in the Street, for one, and obv although there were some talented people at Motown it was basically manufactured music - a hit factory.
Hendrix' equipment manager Gerry Stickells said "He liked the Zeppelin and had their records" and girlfriend Kathy Etchingham confirmed this when an interview in "Guitar World" magazine elicited the fact that he had a copy of "Led Zeppelin II" in his record collection at their Montague Street flat in London. He also liked Motown, played for the Isley Brothers and basically copied James Jamerson's bass style when he recorded his version of "All along the Watchtower", which Noel Redding had refused to play on.
Yes I also heard he really liked Led Zeppelin II.
Well, he's quoted dissing Motown quite heavily here so... And Motown was regarded as exrtremely polished and commercial 'assembly line-produced' music at the time. It makes sense that it wasn't his cup of tea.
I literally screamed when I heard that Hendrix hated Zeppelin. I love Hendrix but Zeppelin is my all time favorite. Just because you have an album your collection doesn’t mean you like the album. You have to have it to listen to it but then you can hate it and still have it in your collection but I hope you’re right.
I visited Jimi, at the time in LA's history that he lived in the Afton aparments and before I went to Vietnam.. Some of his friends called him Marshal Dillon, kind of after Gunsmoke. James Marshal Hendrix. Anyway as we sat in his living room he played. I could of swore he was playing like voices almost making his guitar sound like it was talking. He was that GOOD. I never saw him again and sadly he came to a tragic end.

There seem to be some misconceptions regarding the Monkees. Yes, early in their career, much of their work was recorded by studio musicians-a common practice at the time primarily due to time constraints and budget. However, in 1967, the Monkees gained more agency in their creative direction and began playing the bulk of their own instruments. Listen to their albums Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. (1967) and Head (1968) for evidence of their talent, as both albums are held in high regard. Peter Tork and Michael Nesmith were highly respected in the LA rock scene.
on Head among others are steve stills ,neil young, Ry Cooder, carole King, ,Leon Russel ,earl palmer king of session drummers,& a host of like 30 others
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but the Monkees NEVER contributed anything meanigful to the music that was put out "as" them.
The only member of the band that had ANY amount of musical talent/knowledge was Tork, and even THAT was a pretty low bar. Nesmith knew it for what it was, and got frustrated with Tork, for not realizing what they were/what was going on, and accepting it.
1) Led Zeppelin
2) Pink Floyd
3) The Monkees
4) The Doors (Mostly Jim Morrison though)
5) some Motown bands Jimi had worked with (not named specifically)
Seems like a solid list although I do like Pink Floyd’s first record TBF. The rest, not at all though.
The Monkees? Lol, Jimi had that one right.
@@cbotten106 The Monkees were never meant to be anything other than a fictional band for the TV show of the same name. However, they were actually pretty good.
@@richardnolan3903 Most of their album songs were played by studio musicians, including Neil Diamond. The Wrecking Crew was also responsible for a lot of their studio compilations. Unless you've seen them live, it's hard to tell how good/bad they were instrumentally.
@@SS_PsyopsTo be fair you seem to like overrated, pretentious indie stuff.
Nuff said.
Well if Zep stole from everyone ,they sure did know how to spend it.
I always remind Zep haters . There isn't a band on earth that is totally original . We all learn and are influenced by someone before us . Zep weren't afraid to take any genre and make it their own .
@@rcameron4091 Zep was lameass LIVE because Page and Plant were always stoned....
@@rcameron4091 Yeah, and unlike Led Zeppelin, people like Jimi Hendrix gave credit where credit was due without being dragged into court.
Led Zeppelin literally stole other people's music and claimed it as their own !
Take a look at the songwriting credits on Zeppelin's original albums, and compare them to the songwriting credits on Zeppelin's re-issued albums !!!
NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCE ???????
When Eric Clapton covered a JJ Cale song, he gave credit to JJ Cale; when Jimi Hendrix covered a Bob Dylan song he gave credit to Bob Dylan.
That's the difference between plagiarizing mangy dogs like Led Zeppelin and people like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Pete Townshend.
It's called integrity, and that's something thieves like Led Zeppelin never had !!!!!!
@@steveludwig4200 Yep . They weren't the only one's under the influence on stage .
Willie Dixon stole the majority of his songs from country buskers fresh off the bus from the Delta or wherever.
"Here's $20, play that again."
He was a broke junkie in the South Side by the 70s, and would've remained that way if not for Zep and his lawsuit.
To dismiss Led Zeppelin as just copycats is rather ignorant.
They had some of the greatest musicians in the group and they rocked like no one else before them
They are legend
Did this come from Jimi's seance on Saturday night at the Nights of Columbus on North St? I was there and this was not what he said.
Any source documents?
Most amazing guitarist produced by this planet, however...
If Zepplin didn't redo the old blues tunes by black artists, you'd never know their names today.
Morrison was an unhinged drunk and a boor.
Why would he, even if broke, agree to a bill with the Monkees?
Pink Floyd? Why would he care? Apples and oranges.
What would he think of the shite, tripe and crap of today?
He'd have to be hospitalized...
Why tour with the Monkees? Perhaps he liked them (he did) and wasn't a pretentious piece of trash like....... some are.
The funny thing is that Pink Floyd and the Monkees toured with Hendrix. I can’t help but wonder who he would have listened to in this day and age.
I’m guessing everyone who came out of the CBGB’s.
Actually, Hendrix toured with The Monkees - he opened for THEM.
And he toured with Pink Floyd in late '67
Taylor Swift !
I do know that Terry Kath was one of Hendrix's favorite guitar players. As for what the future looked like for Jimi, he wanted to get more into Jazz and orchestrated music. There are a few tunes that he actually got out that had that production.
Chances are, he would have been entertained by that style today, along with other genres as he himself wrote across the board.
The club or the scene?
He didn't hate Led Zeppelin. Hate is an extreme position to take.
The title of this video said hated but then contradicted by then saying that Jimi said he doesn't think about them at all. Not exactly hating.
@@JackSparrow-yb3lq I recalled that from the first time I saw an interview where he said exactly that, so yeah, plus the kind of person he was...no real hate :)
The word 'hate' back then (and for a long time) was used to mean dislike or strongly dislike, not 'appalled'.
I dunno - I HATE the BBC, HATE Angela Rayner, HATE Miley Goddam Cyrus, HATE morons who sit in the road......
@@jeffreycollier1059 yeah - using the word HATE should be a HATE Crime 😆😆😆
I need advice: I'm looking for good stoner bands from the 60's and 70's. I first got really into The Doors for a few month's then Jimi Hendrix and now I'm kinda getting burned out. What are some bands I should try next. I like how grungy Jimi Hendrix get's on the guitar.
Being a genius doesn't mean you're always right about everything.
He was very focused on a particular kind of music. He didn't need to know about anything else, and for the most part, he didn't.
Bull Pucky. Too much creative imagination on the part of whoever put this together.
I'm laughing because I love some of the bands discussed in this video. I mean, why would anyone hate The Monkees? LOL They recorded great tunes.
Considering that Tork and Nesmith and Mickey Dolenz all talked about what a great guy Jimi was and how they all hung out while they were touring I don't put much faith in this.Granted at that point The Monkees hadn't started recording their own material but I think Jimi was being sarcastic when he said that he hated them.
Wasn't Nesmith the only musician? They weren't hired as musicians but as comedy actors. I'm sure Hendrix knew that. The fact that they had to learn to play basic tunes at least to go on tour is fantastic, and something that wouldn't happen now. The show would all be mimed and no-one would care. I loved The Monkees as a kid...
@@gomezthechimp1116 Peter Tork was a folk singer from New York and could play something like 8 different instruments.Dolenz could play guitar and drums and had one of the first Moog synthesizer.The first two albums were produced by Don Kirshner and they basically sang over pre recorded tracks.Nesmith and Tork rebelled because when they signed on they were promised some degree of studio work.Their third album was played by the 4 of them along with the producer and a horn player.They used studio musicians on the latter albums but played on them.
He hated the monkees because "clarksville" sold more than all of Hendrix combined
" they make inter space type of music. And, sometimes, you just want to lay back and appreciate their music"- hendrix on pink floyd

Hendrix is the most overrated musician of al time. Somit good Songs, but permanent Feedback, terrible singing.
Destriying perfekt guitars by burning them. What a bloody bastard
@@randomguyontheinternet7940now that you say it, it really sounds like ChatGPT
it's very annoying and you can't really tell if the video is going to have it, but we all realize now when we hear that voice.
I think it's the remarks made in this video are BS.. Being old enough to remember Jimi Hendrix he was a mellow guy who sometimes didn't even take himself seriously,, and everything that was happening was cool to him,, he never appeared to be a type of person that would insult or put someone down. He always just expressed a lot of love,,,peace and love.
Zep's "borrowing" is not a sin in my book, but rather not giving credit. I enjoy great reinterpretations of older material, but Zep should have acknowledged them.
It’s theft, by every definition . Theft and specifically plagiarism, as in passing off work that it not yours is a sin in the art world . Go back to English language class . Ffs . Zeppelin fan boys really are idiots
Agreed. However it's reasonable to suspect their manager Peter Grant had a lot to do w/ that decision.
There were at least half a dozen songs where Zeppelin did credit others, without prompting. Including 2 on the first album. There were another 2 songs they didnt claim they wrote.
From what Page has said, he instructed Plant to change the lyrics, and Plant didn't alter them. Though the music was original enough to be free of copyright, there are quite a few Zep songs that borrowed heavily enough in lyrics that I don't believe Page's take; as well as I don't think Page would release anything he had a problem with. I whole heartedly agree credit should have been given to the original artists from the get go
I shot the Sheriff, All Along the Watchtower, Star Spangled Banner, Wild Thing, Like a Rolling Stone, Do I need to continue?
What was the year of Hendrix's death, can you note?..
Jimi Hendrix would have been referring to the Syd Barrett era Floyd, not the later Floyd shown here. AI-generated slop.
Remember this when someone says your favourite band is not going places / is not talented, people.
It's just humans criticising humans, usually because no matter their knowledge and experience, they can't understand what's following their own golden era (or they simply have different taste).
Didn't like gimmicks? The man who set guitar on fire? Integrity of performance? Out of tune and playing with teeth? Motown was badass. So much great music. Didn't like Motor City jam? Huh. Well anyway...Jiminy certainly got credit for his contributions. RIP
Lol. Yes you are correct.
The old psychology trick of blaming others for what you are doing.
I believe the guitar playing with his teeth was seen as cunnilingus .Then Morrison exposing himself on stage numerous times.Neither one was better than the other!
@christineobrien7707 OH I agree completely! Both were born into that Era.
Well said, totally agree
@@christineobrien7707 He NEVER played a guitar with his teeth.. it cant be done, just try it :) I did.. utter nonsence, gimmick.. the notes you hear are his fingerboard hand playing legato... yep, he fooled so many :))
Hendrix was a musician par excellence, and the like of him will never be seen again.
Well said Stuart,I was lucky enough to see him in 1967 when i was 15. He was the 'dog's bollocks' then and he still is now. Often imitated never equalled.
I saw and heard a lot of Hendrix in Stevie Ray Vaughan.
I never did rate Hendrix - he had a couple of "OK" tracks - padded out with a boatload of crap
@@Narsuitus SRV did it way, way better
I wonder what Jimi thought of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath in 1970?
Clearly, Jimi was actually praising LED ZEPPELIN when he said "They STEAL from EVERYBODY!" As another great artist opined, Good Artists copy, GREAT ARTISTS STEAL!😂😄😆😃😄😁😀🤣😅
I wonder what Hendrix thought of King Crimson.
I know Hendrix had high praise for Robert Fripp’s guitar playing.
@@wz2001 Thanks! Good to know!
@@wz2001 Thanks! Good to know! Where did you read that? I remember reading someplace that all those bands like The Who, The Stones, The Beatles, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, all hung out at the same place in London. So they all knew each other.
@@williamfarr8807
Robert Fripp is an amazing Guitarist, one of the best.
He loved Rory Gallagher and Jeff Beck that’s alright with me.
I doubt he would have said any of this had he lived long enough!
Hendrix liked the early Pink Floyd
The only creative Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett.
@AP-sd1fl Facts! Syd's Pink Floyd is the true Pink Floyd 💯
He didn't hear the later stuff
i think he would’ve liked pink floyd and led zeppelin if he lived long enough to see their best work
Lacking originality? Hey Joe, that's a Wild Thing to say.
He would have liked Floyd and Zep if he had survived a decade more
He did have criticism of all of them this is overblown he did say zeppelin borrowed too much but said Bonham had afoot like a rabbit said page was a good player but didn't listen to them
@@mikej70 OH yea , many vids have hyped titles when its about celebrities .. It does get the clicks
Idk he might find them too sex charged with their lyrics. That’s also how Kurt felt about them. Especially if Jimi had a strong moral compass he might not have liked it 🤷🏻♀️
He really got into Led Zeppelin II later in 1970 according to one of his technician friends. He was a latecomer to Zeppelin but he got there in the end. A lot of people didn't 'get' Zeppelin at first, but caught onto them eventually. Seems like Jimi was one of them.
@graciekattan6618
Hendrix? The guy who got his penis plaster cast by Cynthia Plaster Caster, to be put on display in her collection of penis casts? That guy? Moral compass? 😂
This video was created to try to start a controversy. This is BS Hendrix sang other peoples songs Like Hey Joe it was sung by The Leaves on American Band Stand.
Along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan, it's just two songs by other artist that Jimi Hendrix did. I'm no expert but I will look up to see if Jimi Hendrix did say "That he hated the Bands" mentioned in this video.
Specifically about Pink Floyd - Jimi died in 1970 and never had a chance to listen to their really great albums Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and more. Maybe he would change his mind if he had this chance. In fact he hadn't listen much of Zeppelin neither - probably only the first and second album.😎😀
Yes, unfortunately, the video clips of Pink Floyd in this video date after Jimi's death.
They were big in his era, but that was your Ummagumma, More, and Atom Heart period. Still pretty big, lots of great songs, but not the Meddle era.
It's not stealing. It's paraphrase.
When I met Hendrix after his Woodstock appearance, he asked me if I liked it. I said “nah, I didn’t take any acid.” He was like “man I get you.” I subsequently drank a bottle of Jack Daniel’s and saw Pete Townshend, he hit me and Abbie Hoffman over the head, nearly killing us. After that I decided to be a Carpenters fan. A band Jimi idolized
Hendrix didn't hate
except his body
The Monkees weren't really a band, they were a TV show about being a band.
Hendrix comment on floyd was early on in his career. Later he actually admired pink floyd saying they were the mad rock scientist of the day.
Hendrix wasnt afraid of calling a spade a spade but he was big enough to accept when he was wrong. He would have loved later floyd and zep
Hendrix would have been dead by the time some of these bands made a big splash.
Pink Floyd came into prominence well after Jimi Hendrix died in September 1970. 'Dark Side of the Moon' came out in 1973. I seriously doubt whether any of the rest is true.
jimi hendrix once said: Music is religion.
Jimi Hendrix Experience: Electric church, Atlanta Pop Festival July 4, 1970. Great DVD, great concert. I was there.
so did j morrison
this is all based on hearsay - Jimi wasn't known to distain music, his onus was what it was, but all the things he mentions competed with his brand, that's simple to see. This is puerile juvenile revisionism of a substandard content creator
I think this is a bit exaggerated. Like others said, Floyd and LZ hit their stride after he OD'd. Jim Morrison was a tool, but most of The Doors music was pretty darn original. Of course, The Monkees were lightweights (with some decent pop songs) but the "entire" Motown sound? Nope.
what is exaggerated is claiming LZ & PF are so great when it took them so long to finally get it together. Jimi was commenting on what he heard & saw.
@@BarbarraBay There is an interview from 1970 where Jimi says he likes Pink Floyd somewhere.
I can't imagine a world where Jimi wouldn't like Stevie Wonder, I don't think I've ever met anyone who doesn't, let alone another musical genius
Jimi never would let me go on stage before him with my spoons and gut bucket. He loved my stuff but knew I would upstage him.
I bought Electric Ladyland and although I liked some of it the majority of it was irritating noise. Originality? Like All Along the Watchtower? Who did Bob Dylan copy that from?
Jimi Hendrix died in 1970. That was a long time before these bands did anything close to their best material. He would have loved Zeppelin later on and he would have fawned over album works of art by Pink Floyd. Not sure why the Studio Number Six clown didnt do some basic homework. Using clips from Dark Side of the Moon was really pathetic and ironic.
Yip
I met Jimi backstage at the Filmore, He told me hated Steely Dan, he hated their "curlycue" guitar and their sophmoric lyrics, he also told me he really hated ABBA and The Talking Heads. He also told me their was an 11 year kid named Stevie Ray Vance or something like that that steals everything from everyone!
Arf! You almost had me there.
@@erroneousbatch blah blah woof woof ;)
Talking Heads???🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭 You're off by a decade.
Lies; Jimi loved Dancing Queen & Waterloo, and he used to perform Once In A
Lifetime as an encore.
Bullshit that he didn’t like Led… shame on you Jimi would never put down Floyd either.
Jimi didn't live long enough to hear Pink Floyd w/ David Gilmore.
@@DonTerhune1200cc damn straight !
Elsewhere I read that Hendrix really got into Led Zeppelin II.
Regarding all the _who hated who in music_ series, is there any sense (sensation?) in delving into? Is alleged _hate_ the proper way to consider differences in taste? Seems to me sort of tabloid stuff and I discourage music fans from that.
I agree with him on everything except Motown. Motown was "polished" but MELODIC, which is why it stood the test of time. Most hard rock/metal/classic rock/prog rock/counter-culture rock musicians & their fans totally dismiss ANYTHING with melody. Perhaps the reason why rock bands like Journey, Foreigner, The Police, Van Halen (Sammy Hagar era), Genesis & others were dismissed by rock "purists" after the bands starting exploring the full circle of fifths (scale modes/key signatures) to write new material. I agree with Jimi on the others outside of Motown. Even though I'm a Zeppelin fan, THEY DID rip a lot from other bands & artists
He has said in interviews that he admired Floyd
In Hendrix' days, the best PF album was still "Piper". It took a while for the band to recover after Barrett had gone insane.
@@martinportelance138 yeah piper is fantastic. Syd was a brilliant artist, its heartbreaking had happened to him
Don't waste your time on this video.. If Hendrix never killed himself, he'd be jammin with Page, Clapton,
Jeff Beck, Gilmour, etc. If he was alive today, at 81 yrs old, he'd probably be playing with Ringo's All-Star band. Only thing worse than Rock'n Roll snobs is Jazz snobs.
I didn't watch this vid for too long (click bait - GUILTY!) and you're 100% right about the jamming. I know nothing about "Jazz snobs".
I wonder if Hendrix would have been any good if he learned to tune a guitar?
or played it the right way up
Well I will admit he was pretty good
AS IF YOU HAVE A CLUE LOL
Purple Haze all in my brain
All I have is distain
Can't read music
Or play a Guitar
But can do heroin
Til he goes insane
Every single statement is 100% percent Truth !
To be fair he died before some bands did most of their material, but I do agree with his sentiments.
Everybody stole from what came before.
Led Zeppelin covering songs? Jimi Hendrix: All Along The Watchtower, I Was Made To Love Her, Day Tripper, Hound Dog, Born Under A Bad Sign, Killing Floor, Like A Rolling Stone, Wild Thing , Hey Joe. People in glass houses.
Jimi Hendrix covered songs. Led Zeppelin plagiarized songs. There is a difference.
@@williamfarr8807Zeppelin transformed old songs by arranging them into master pieces. But you’re right they should have paid their dues when they recorded the songs. However it’s bollocks to say they plagiarised everything. Such a small amount when you look at their canon of work over a twelve year period.
@@nicholasprotz4297agreed. It's usually jealous Beatles or Stones fans that hype up the 'stole' mantra. The songs they took from were virtually unknown and their versions of them are light years ahead in terms of arrangements and performance.
LZ had 10 cover songs from 18 songs on their first two albums (which Jimi would have heard). Jimi had 3 cover songs from 46 songs on his first three albums. Or lets say 1 cover from 30 songs on his first 2 albums. Big difference.
@@nicholasprotz4297 whole lotta love was their big song. It was a cover of a cover. Why don't you listen to the Small Faces version to see how it was ripped off
Some of this is BS. Hendrix was not against polished material and using the studio to create new sounds. The song "Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland)" sounds very Motown to me and the entire "Electric Ladyland" album was beautifully recorded.
Hendrix completely changed guitar for every group ever after.
Most people don't realize this fact. Listen to the dopey riffs before he burst on the scene.
Rest in Peace Jimi.
People used to say that Jimmi Hendrix was the best guitarist. I never understood why. There are many players that are much better outside of rock music. I believe people said that just in case the N word slipped from their mouth and they could use that as cover. Same reason people say they look up to Obama. Just in case...
I saw Jimi just once at the San Bernardino showgrounds and he rushed through the Hits , but when it came time to play Voodoo Chile his eyes lit up and he made that guitar sing , growl , and grown . Music history
Led Zep were notorious thieves, but they certainly had talent. I agree with Hendrix about PF and the Monkees. Although the Doors were a great band instrumentally (especially Manzarek) I feel Morrison was a poseur (a word I don't often use). I very much disagree with JH about Motown--there was nothing "artificial" about them. In fact, they were, I believe, the most successful Black-owned record company!
I think he liked especially Dylan, the Cream and the Beatles
And Rory Gallagher.
Jimmy hated Purcell, Rachmaninov, chicken curry, TH-cam and fish fingers.
I don’t feed into clips. Musicians criticize to make themselves look superior and there’s a very fine line between copying and being influenced by each other.
This was an excellently made video. The outro to Voodoo Child Slight Return in Sweden especially to cap it off was perfect. That fade, just when the pig in his guitar starts squealing, perfect man.
