Jimi was not just a guitarist, he was a creative artist. The man is a legend for good reason.
Jimi’s greatness isn’t in just his skill, it is his creativity. Jimi played “in the moment” not a bunch of prearranged notes. He was completely abstract and thus it can’t be recreated.
As a lifelong Jimi fan, so well said
Yep. His playing was amazing, but his legend was built on the electric guitar, and what new things could be done with it.
And the guitar was hardly ever in tune.
I saw Jimi 56 years ago here in Germany. I went to both of his concerts. It was in a pretty small Hall, me in the first row right in front of the speakers. I was‘nt able to go to school the next day because I could‘nt hear anything anymore. The Ticketprice was 12 DEM= about 19 USD. An unbelievable Experience. Something I will never forget. ❤️your Channel.
thats amazing
I met two people who knew The Man. they didn't talk about the guitar. they talked about what a Nice Person He Was. Nice way to be remembered.
My favorite Hendrix song! Written by Bob Dylan. Remember- he was the progenitor- the bands that came after absorbed all the JIMMYISMS and took it further. Nobody was doing what he was doing at the time.
Jesus was crucified between a joker and a thief.
When Jimi came along everyone took notice
Every major guitar player at the time
(Clapton,Harrison, Townsend) were in awe at what he was doing with the guitar
Clapton was rumored to have quit playing after seeing Jimi because he said there was no point cuz he would never be as good as Hendrix. It was Harrison who convinced him to pick up the guitar again.
When Jimi left us it was a sad day for certain! I was a whole 11 years old. A true Heartbreakers for me and millions of people. My baby Janis Joplin died earlier that year way back in 1970. Love them both still today. You're about to experience the elite of Rock and Roll.
Jimi died before Joplin I believe.
Jimmy's Star Spangled Banner is the greatest rendition of a national anthem EVER.
Better than Roseanne's?
Jimi
Whenever i hear something by Jimi, i just instantly feel good. No matter how crap i'm feeling.
Electric Ladyland is an awesome album!
Hendrix was definitely the first to be that eventive for the time and it is hard to deny hes not the best because his influence is in rock n roll and metal period hes a metal god
Long live to the King 👑 of 🎸 Guitar: Hendrix! 🤟🏼
One of the greatest we’ve ever had
Certainly one of the greatest.
When I was little, I saw on the news that Jimmy Hendrix had died. I asked my dad who it was and he said "just some puke". Then I listened to him a little later and realized that his name was Jimi and not Jimmy. I heard the album ARE YOU EXPERIENCED?. Still put it in Playlist today. \m/
There's no need for the ridiculous headline, rock fans will always want to see a reaction to this legendary guitarist.
Jimi was absolutely magnificent!!
Ozzy's music being blocked is no surprise to me. There was a UHF TV station where I grew up called V-32. It was MTV for those of us who lived in the boonies and didn't have cable TV. They did not play Ozzy because his record company wanted to charge a fee. 99% of the others didn't.
Jimi plays a right-handed guitar. During his time no one was doing what he did like, Freeform guitar, Acid rock
*a right handed guitar strung for left handed player
People have to really listen to Jimi. They have to check out his deep cuts, his live performances, and people will see why he’s the greatest. You can’t hear it from one or two songs. He’s the Van Gogh of Rock Guitar. My favorite is Eddie Van Halen, but Jimi is him.
What we lost when Jimi Hendrix left us was one of the great song creators. There's a reason his creations have been copied over and over by guitarists. Angel. Castles Made Of Sand. Foxy Lady. Little Wing. Purple Haze. Voodoo Child. The Wind Cries Mary. etc.
There's no telling how many great songs Hendrix would have created. Anyone want to understand what a great song writer he was, check out the studio version Tuck and Patti's Castles Made of Sand/Little Wing. One vocal, one guitar. Hear the lyrical content along with what was created on guitar. He is THE daddy of songwriting through the guitar.
You wanna hear Jimi go off into another dimension? Play either Machine Gun at Fillmore East or Hear my Train a Comin (electric version) off his Blues Album that was performed at Berkeley. Those 2 pieces are a a couple of his many masterpieces. You should be able to do a full reaction to Machine Gun on TH-cam being that many others did already.
Hendrix was to guitar what Thor was to his Hammer. Best description I can think of...
The estate of Jimi Hendrix, his descendants earns as much as Elvis' estate with regard to royalties and licensing. It probably highly protected.
Check out Blue Cheer. A contemporary of Hendrix and full of loud psychedelic blues. Great stuff.
I saw Jimi Hendrix in concert in 1968. Greatest of all time.
Purple Haze, Voodoo Chile, Foxy Lady, Red House, Little Wing, and All Along the Watchtower were probably his most famous/popular songs, but I would suggest checking out "Spanish Castle Magic", "If 6 Was 9", "Hear My Train a Comin'" and "Hey Joe" as well. He had a lot of great hits, for sure.
In answer to the banner question - Undoubtedly the GOAT - no one else comes close. I am surprised however about what you said about being blocked - I have seen/heard him play on other reaction channels (Airplay Beats played 'Purple Haze' just a few days ago) so I'm not sure what the problem might be. I've been a fan of Jimi's since my teens (50 years ago) and I'm a little bit proud of the fact that he was embraced and adopted here in the UK after being largely ignored in the States - maybe a case of a prophet not being appreciated in his home town. what makes him special for me is the 'Soul' he brought to the party. his vocal delivery is also unique - I don't know - I can't speak highly enough of him.
The greatest for his time 🤘
My Intro to Jimi as a Black Skateboarder was "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" in a skate video. It wasnt a big commmercial hit from what my mother told me but he was prolific as a lyricist and musician overall. She also said our folks felt his theatrics like burning guitars and breaking them threw them off. Also gotta check his solo guitar cover of the National Anthem. 👀
My grandpa was lucky he saw Jimi Hendrix live 3 times including Woodstock 69
I remember seeing some documentary and it had a segment describing a time when George Harrison and Eric Clapton wanted to go and see what this Jimi Hendrix guy was doing on guitar. And those two were amazed by him.
I believe Clapton even said he wanted to quit playing after hearing Jimi lol
All Along the Watchtower was highly produced but still a great song. You need to watch his live performances and his ground breaking playing with his teeth and behind his back, the fluidity with which he performs in a unique style that still no one duplicates but SRV is very close. Hendrix is still on the apex of them all even up to today, with regards to rock and rock/blues anyways.
One of the greatest of all time ! No doubt !
I paid $8.50 to see Queen in Greensboro, NC in August 1980. I paid $13.50 two weeks prior to see AC/DC on the 'Back In Black' tour in Fayetteville. I could go on, but I hope it helps answer questions about ticket prices back in the golden age.
Jimi wasn’t Richard’s “roadie” - they move equipment n set up the stage. Jimi played guitar for him. Richard’s autobiography has a Jimi quote on the title page that said “I wanted to do with the guitar what Richard did with his voice”.
Hadn’t heard bout firing Jimi. But will look it up.
Both Jimi n Little Richard were fabulous! I’ve the record of them together n on one or two songs u can definitely hear the Jimi who would pop out in a few years!
If u do Richard, do the original recordings on the Specialty label!
As for Watchtower, the verse is interesting. The last verse can be seen as the actual start of the lyric.
So it’s like a circle.
Dylan is the deepest of all rabbit holes! 👍🏼👍🏼
Jimi was awesome, He was fresh and New when He hit the Scene. No One had ever heard anything like what he was doing, very innovating, and yes very talented, I Love his Music, but I dont think I would say that He is the GOAT because you cant really say who is because there are huge differences between Guitarists` Styles....I think it all comes down to personal taste. I Personally think Eddie Van Halen, Terry Kath and Joe Bonamassa are my all time favorites.
Confession time. I haven't listened to Jimi in years. However, having said that, Jimi could NEVER be overrated. All you have to do is listen to anyone playing a guitar before him and then everything after him. No one has done more to change the way their instrument was played more than Hendrix.
Eddie Van Halen is right there with Jimi as far as impact on guitar players. When Van Halen came out in 1978 The Bee Gees and Donna Summer were ruling the airwaves and after Eddie so many kids said i wanna do what hes doing on guitar.
In my opinion SRV was better than Hendrix in playing skills on the guitar...
@@RM-ks8ppoh hell no
@@RM-ks8pp A lot of players are technically better than Hendrix but you have to take everything in historical perspective. Watch Hendrix at Woodstock the directors cut. Hendrix has a Strat , a stack and 3 pedals on the ground and listen to what he does sonically. It is astounding the sounds & tones he wrangled out of his guitar and nobody was doing anything like it. He was a huge influence on SRV.
Oh hell. I can already see there are a lot of really stupid people going to get in on this post talking about how their favorite guitarist is the best. F'IN SAVE IT! I don't care who you think is best. What I'm saying is if not for Jimi fundamentally changing the way the guitar was played, ( insert your favorite guitarist here) WOULD! NOT! EXIST! So unless your favorite predates Hendrix, SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Jimi Hendrix was the Greatest Jimi Hendrix EVER!
Back in the day JIMI was UNQUESTIONABLY the greatest but, in the 50+ years since, there's WAY better players....There's Always Gonna Be New Gunslingers.
Oh yeah..Sir TNT clearly wants us to argue!! lol..Although there is no argument.Hendrix = GOAT!
I saw Hendrix twice. !0 dollars a ticket. Life changing.
Also Jimi was Litte Richard's guitar player (how he raised to prominence) so wow great comparison.
My first concert was Ac/dc in 1981. Tix were 10.50 and 12.50.
Remember he was a left handed man playing a right handed guitar backwards
But he strung the right handed guitar for a lefty. He's not playing "upside-down".
There are plenty who thinks he's the greatest. Just like some think Eddie's the greatest.
Hendrix didn't invent distortion, but he perfected it, and thereby revolutionized the instrument. Just like Eddie didn't invent finger-tapping, but he perfected it, and thereby revolutionized the instrument. Their parts as pioneers are undeniable, but I don't know if I'd even have them in my top 10. But that's a personal opinion, and I couldn't argue with anyone who had them in the top ten, or even at #1.
And I was just listening to Jimi Hendrix "Woodstock" an hour ago.
He was an all-around legend. You'll see his stage presence, and the word is that he dominated any room he walked into without trying. Other brilliant musicians would come to play with him and still end up being in awe of him. He came to London and jammed with Cream, and Eric Clapton's hands dropped off his guitar and to his sides, and he is said to have lurched off the stage. Fellow musician Chas Chandler found him backstage unable to get a match to the end of his cigarette.
One of his most famous moments was when the sun broke over the horizon at Woodstock on Monday morning, and he launched into his own unique created-on-the-spot rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Don't miss that, even if you can't react to it.
Jimi was self taught and left handed like Tonni Iommi, who lost his finger tips in an accident and used thimbles, Jimi flipped a regular guitar. Both are untouchable. Don't care 🤘
Thank you for your honesty.
No one would play Jimi in the U.S. so he went to England and Europe and made a big name for himself. He came back and appeared at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. It was then that he blew everyone away. This was two years before Woodstock.
My favorite song of his is Machine Gun 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for doing this one. Keep having fun exploring!
My very first of many rock concerts between late 60s and late 70s was Jimi's Experience, when I was 13 yrs old... THAT concert literally changed my life! (Chicago was the opening act.)
Hendrix was on a whole other level from ANY other musician at the time, or, imo, ever since. So, gotta explore Jimi TNT. btw!
The Maui concert was made into a movie, RainbowBridge; the whole thing was organized by a pro-drug (TimLearly-aligned group) cult -- the BrotherhoodOfEternalLove -- which was funded by global drug smuggling (afghani primo hashish), and the manufacture&distribution of LSD to save humanity. THOSE are the folks at the Maui concert.
There are tons of Hendrix reaction videos that aren’t blocked. You should also try the Grateful Dead
Would love to see a reaction to Hendrix's Band Of Gypsies 1/1/70 recording of "Who Knows" & "Machine Gun" 👍
What those artists who restrict their music will soon find that nobody is listening anymore. Guys my age won’t be around forever. If they don’t embrace young people on TH-cam their music will die. It’s unfortunate because there was so many great artists. All this to say, thank you for keeping the music alive.
He’s also a great singer. He is a vibe. He’s Jimi.
I just missed out on seeing him at the Fillmore East in NYC. At the time tickets were undr $5.00 and there were usually 2 other bands on the bill. Now you have to mortgage your house to buy a ticket to see Taylor Swift.
Definitely the greatest. Saw him in '68 in S.F. when I was 14. Jimi's step sister, Janie Hendrix, controls his estate and entire music rights. She has made sure it's all heavily copyrighted. The only way to really hear his music is to buy his albums, which actually is a good idea. I would recommend Axis Bold as Love and Electric Ladyland.
Hendrix was magnificent!!! Here is some fun info: Terry Kath, former lead guitarist with Chicago was praised by Jimi Hendrix who said Kath was “the best guitarist in the universe".😅
The big difference between the music then and now is back then it was all about the music and how it made you feel every song was an experience. Today its all about how much money can we make they don't care whether the music is good or bad .
Excellent point T that Jimi’s playing was groundbreaking in the late 60s. It was indeed. I grew up listening to music of the 50s and 60s. The way guitarists played prior to Hendrix was quite different. Carlos Santana was another groundbreaker in the late 60s!
Full video and reactions to this on many youtube channels.Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child (REACTION) Airplay Beats, is just 1 example.
This video was originally blocked until i cut the music out.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT with music.th-cam.com/video/8_wXvuPZkEs/w-d-xo.html
You don't understand they didn't even make a left handed guitar back then so he had to play a right handed guitar upside down ,he also didn't get famous until he moved to England and his carrier only lasted 5 years.
*career
JIMI
It’s so messed up that corporations are stopping us from listening to the greats. It’s the same with the Beatles. It’s been over 50 years. These songs are artifacts that should be accessible to anyone.
You have your history SOOOO wrong. Little Richard fired him because Jimi kept showing him up in performances. All Along the Watchtower is a Bob Dillon song.
Dylan
Now that I know there a list of banned artists on YT, every fiber of my being wants to start recording reactions to ONLY those artists. 😝 it’s just in my nature. I won’t, cuz I don’t like a lot of attention, but still… it’s so tempting. 😆♥️🕊️🙏
His music was blocked for years, Ilistened to them on youtube 10 years or so ago in the past. Recently, they are back.
Jimi was unreal.
WATCHTOWER WAS A ( BOB DYLAN ) SONG T & TASHA BUT EVEN BOB SAID THAT JIMI'S VERSION WAS MUCH BETTER! 😊SO IMAGINE THE ROCK STANDARD FOR GUITAR EVENNN TODAY IS ( JIMI HENDRIX ) , THAT'S PRETTY INSANE!😮SO YEAH, GREAT 3 MAN 60'S PHYSCHEDELIC ROCK BAND JUST LIKE CREAM WAS YOU GUYS!👍THERE'S LOTSA HENDRIX HITS YOU CAN STILL DO : PURPLE HAZE, FOXY LADY, AND THE WIND CRIES MARY, AND 1 OTHER THAT'S ALLLLLLLL OVER THE NET : (HEY JOE) , YOU'LL SEE JIMI PLAY WITH HIS TEETH, I'M NOT KIDDING T & TASHA!😊 PURE ROCK GOD LEGEND AND LOST WAYYYYYYY TOO EARLY! ☹ TAKE GREAT CARE GUYS!
Can you correct Jimi's name in the title?...Thank you! ❤
Jiminy plated a right-handed guitar turned upside down and changed the strings to play with his left hand
Jimi wasn't Little Richard's roadie, he was his guitarist, but was too flamboyant, wore fancy shirts, put on a show, Richard said, "I'm the only one allowed to be pretty!" or something to that effect.
I'd have Jimi at #2, right behind Stevie, but that's just me. A boat load of other great guitarists would probably be tied for third. There's been a lot of great ones, for sure.
This was a fantastic video. You guys are great. Thank you. Sorry for all the comments!!!
Listen to Robin Trower ..... Yngwie Malmsteen . 🇺🇸✨✨✨✨🎸✨✨✨✨👽
For his time, pretty much unrivalled. Another great guitarist who is often overlooked is the incredible Eddie Hazel (RIP), almost on par with Hendrix IMO.
I fealt the same way as you guys. I was like, "it's okay" but then when you put it in the historical context, Hendrix was before his time. Great connection between Prince and Hendrix.
You won't know the way I feel viewing this until you hear people 40 years from now trying to understand the music and culture that you presently love. I do feel that the young lady's efforts will bring understanding more so than the young man's more clinical approach to analyzing art. She is appropriately considering historical and cultural influences that affected all people of the era. But bottom line is I'm realizing that no matter how much we sat and discussed the era, unless you were living in that time, you can't get the impact he had at that time. As far as being overrated, that's an individual point of view. After all, 30 years ago Michael Jordan was unique. Now because they've seen that model, there are a hundred trying to be the next MJ so what we watched in awe years ago seems ordinary now.
27 club: Hendrix, Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Amy Whinehouse, Jim Morrison......
Theres probably more.
Kurt offed himself to be in the club, didn't od like the rest.

@@johngillespie3409 SRV died in a helicopter crash and Morrison died of heart failure.
It wasn’t meant to be a recording that showed off Hendrix’s guitar prowess. There would be no Steve Ray Vaughn without Jimi. No else comes close to Jimi
Great transition for banned songs. Keep it up.
Well it's just interesting how some of these other reaction channels are able to play Jimmy or whoever and I know who the bands are that you are talking about but they get them through and they don't get blocked or anything like that
But why risk your channel over it?
Jimi is more of a creative guitarist which are the ones that I prefer..he wasn’t too technical but he influenced many after. Is he the greatest?…I would say not but in popular music, he is definitely one of the best
I don’t understand the problem people have in saying this, hands down he’s the greatest no question about it.
Definitely the greatest of all time. He started the transition from blues to rock guitar.
Do RED HOUSE!
Hendrix show the world the real potential a eletric guitar have.
I've just watched a few channels that were reacting to Hendrix videos,without any trouble, so I'm puzzled as to why you guys aren't able to?
They put their channel at risk for copyright strikes. We’ve been doing this long enough to know which artist don’t allow their videos or music to be used on TH-cam. So yea, some reactors may get away with it for the time being but it’s not worth losing ur channel for a few views.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT Ok...I only asked! I didn't mean to upset you.
@@liamoconnor9487Where did you get that you upset them?? It looks to me like they were simply answering your question.. 🤷
He's not overrated at all the reality is when Hendrix performed something like Machine Gun he was like an alchemist on the stage, that really hasn't been replicated to that level IMO because it's not a precise thing it involves spirit, innovation & improvisation.
Precise shredding in metal on the other hand is the most overrated thing in history.
Jimi wasn't a roadie for Little Richard, he was the guitarist for LR. LR didn't pay him, so Jimi left.
Great work guys...Richard fired Jimi cause he stole the Hendrix bitthed most of what you like of the 7os as far as mindset of rock guitar Lol...FACTS.
You are judging a performance with sound issues and a bunch of other surrounding issues...saying someone is overrated based on one performance is not really fair...i would suggest reacting to his performance of machinegun at isle of wight or the audio version from his band of gypsy concerts... then you see why he is a legend.
You can't say ALL artists duplicated Hendrix in the 70s. And definitely not in the 80s and 90s.
Jimi is the GOAT - period. He was not allowed to play live in most places in the US as it was unheard of for a black man to front a band with white musicians. He actually went to London and blew minds such as Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Chros Squire, and all of The Beatles.
Jimmy is god in rock culture! Not overated
I think at the time Hendrix was the best, then came Van Halen, Joe Satriani, and dozens of others.
from what ive heard, his family who controls his estate are very guarding of it and how they view protecting his legacy. i think they got burned a few times with licensing deals and infringements using jimis image to sell ish. if the family still controls the estate, im guessing the generation gap is blocking the flow of current cultural phenomena into the u-tube channels. somebody call a plumber.
Take this into consideration. The Beach Boys were supposed to headline Woodstock. But they missed it. Jimi arrived at Woodstock. And the face of music changed. The Beach Boys were never the top band again.
