Jimi Hendrix

JCASTELLAIN	Date: September 20, 2002 @ 2:10 PM Just thought I'd remind everyone that James Marshall Hendricks (Jimi Hendix) died on the 18th of september 32 years and two days ago (18th of September). How about some thoughts on what he contributed to modern rock music and recording techniques and amplifier developement. If it was'nt for Jim the Masrhall Amp that we all love would not have been developed . Jimi kept blowing them up and consequently they got redesigned and made stronger. He also pioneered the use of spacial imaging with engineer Eddie Kramer, just listen to Voodoo Chile, slight return through a good system. It not only uses panning but phasing as well which was very revolutionary then . The sound not only shifts from side to side but also in front and behind (try it and see).
icisnizz	Date: September 20, 2002 @ 2:31 PM I remember working today and hearing that on the radio. In my room I have a big picture of Jimmy, and look up to him for many reasons. He was all about music, and change. When he was in the studio recording a song and it didn't sound right he'd use anything to find that certain sound. One of the few people I really look up to, literally, his picture is pretty high. He's amazing...One time, I forget what track it is, but it's one of his hits, he thought the song needed somthing, and he actually used a comb to make the track work. I frickin comb man. A true artist. Whenever he recorded songs he always wanted the producers to turn his voice down because he didn't like it. haha. Well the world shure did... On the radio they dedicated a bunch of songs to him and it shure made my day. Work sucks!, Jimmy Rocks!!! (thanks for creating a good thread, we need more of these)
JCASTELLAIN	Date: September 20, 2002 @ 3:38 PM listening.Jimi also used his thumb, and played Bass, Rhythm and lead parts all at once . and listening to some of those tracks he is stretching those huge hands of his to positions that are virtually impossible for most. He is still such a powerful 'Spiritual entity", its like hes still alive, all the 'new' stuff I keep finding.Every time I watch him, hes there, you can feel his presence even on film." id="20328">The Song was 'Burning of the midnight lamp' featured on the documentary 'Electric Ladyland' by Experience Hendrix. That combe thing was pretty clever, Jimi was a true genius , I have been collecting recordings by him for over twenty years, I've got some really rare stuff, I love just hearing those master tapes being played on that documentary and Eddie Kramer just playing the rhythm guitar parts to 'All Along the Watchtower, when you hear just the electric rhythm guitar ,on its own..man its so soulful it rips my heart apart.I'd love to have access to copies of the multitrack tapes to analyise, I could listen to just Jimi , on his own all day long. You can learn so much about technique and composition just by listening.Jimi also used his thumb, and played Bass, Rhythm and lead parts all at once . and listening to some of those tracks he is stretching those huge hands of his to positions that are virtually impossible for most.

icisnizz	Date: September 20, 2002 @ 4:40 PM ya, I always get chills when I read his words and see him in documentarys. I tried to find this magazine I had that said his last known words. It was a 'guitar' magazine...just wondering if you knew...all I can remember is that it amazed me...hope I didn't throw it out.
starseven	Date: September 20, 2002 @ 4:44 PM hey, how did he die again?
dekand	Date: September 20, 2002 @ 6:00 PM Drug overdose
starseven	Date: September 20, 2002 @ 7:20 PM HAHAHAHA what a fucking idiot...Fuck hendrix
dekand	Date: September 20, 2002 @ 9:21 PM well i don't like that he was on drugs because i think drugs and alchoholism ruin things, but he was still an amazing artist and i respect him for that
ChillinBuzz	Date: September 20, 2002 @ 11:47 PM I thought he'd been doing drugs and choked whilst in the ambulance or something. Or was it painkillers? It may never have happened to him but it did. As a person he played with fire and got burnt but the music is amongst the best. Most aspiring rock guitarists learn at least one thing of Jimi's. Fav songs: Voodoo Chile (slight return), Little Wing, Fire, Stars That Play With Laughing Sam's Dice.
dekand	Date: September 21, 2002 @ 12:01 AM yeah i actually think he choked on his throw-up in the morning, least thats what i heard on behind the music. and yes most aspiring guitarist learn Jimi songs, i learn more Stevie Ray Vaughn songs because he is a bigger influence on me and i am learning his version of Little Wing right now, hopefully i can have the whole song posted by Christmas time.
Coffine	Date: September 21, 2002 @ 12:02 AM starseven u are the idot. you should have alittle more respect than that. He is a guitar god of all time. and yes chillinBuzz thats what happened to him. as far as how he died. if it wasn't for Hedrix you would of had probly the lamest rock music around, if any. they all borrowed from his sound and to diss the dead is not cool.
Coffine	Date: September 21, 2002 @ 12:03 AM Fuck hendrix? no, fuck you my friend.
creativetim	Date: September 21, 2002 @ 12:24 AM I thought he choked on his own vomit?
ChillinBuzz	Date: September 21, 2002 @ 12:28 AM He had his head either tipped back or was bent forwards in the ambulance and he was sick and choked. I think. I'm gonna look it up later.
Coffine	Date: September 21, 2002 @ 1:21 AM something happened that caused him to choke. The attendents at the time didnt know how to prevent it like sticking their finger down his throat to help stop the vomiting. dont quote me its been a long time. I cant remember all the details. yea chillin look it up. please and post it here maybe? It was their fault that he died like that not his.
Coffine	Date: September 21, 2002 @ 1:24 AM he had a seizure thats what it was I think?
starseven	Date: September 21, 2002 @ 4:21 AM hey coffine, go fuck yourself... why donlt you fucking thiink before you tell someone they are an idiot for their opionion... i don;t like hendrix.. so fucking what.....you probably don;t like a lot of the shit i do.. that doesn;t make me an idiot.... personaly i think you;re a fucking idiot too but it has nothing to do with your opionions on music... it's because you go into ever single thread and bitch how people should have their point taken away.. that' is an idiot... and next time you call me your friend i'm shutting down your computer
starseven	Date: September 21, 2002 @ 4:31 AM oh, and i just wanted to say that i have a lot of respect for dekan....it seems we have a lot of difference on opionions.....and i tend to be very blunt about mine...but he always acts real kool about things,...sticks right to the point...i think his responce to me call ing hendrix an idiot was great

starseven	Date: September 21, 2002 @ 5:03 AM oh, and as far as not going good music... why the fuck do you care if i know good music or not?...maybe not liking hendris means i have the worst taste in music ever imagined..... so what......do you care that much?.....if so then i have had my fun with you .....

BoundGaggedA...	Date: September 21, 2002 @ 7:53 AM i think jimi's genius was exploited by the industry [bastards] and that no-one has , as yet, even touched on the talent that jimi had. His music was more than just music, it was a lifestyle, a meaning to life, thoughts feelings and pure genius. We were graced with The Great, had out bit of jimi, used it, and now will never get to see such Greatness again.
Defbyvolume	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 9:14 PM When the day of ressurection comes we will see what we see, and my bet is that about a million guitarists will be lining up to Jam with Jimi....By the way did you know Jimi played keyboards on Burning of the Midnight lamp? A harpsichord actually. Hendrix was the ultimate rock musician!
azhazhellfire	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 11:28 PM Starseven: you really need to learn to keep any oppinions you think might be insulting to yourself. especially things that might be opposing someones respect for someone or sumthing. meep
starseven	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 11:45 PM then what is the point of a thread if i have to keep my opionions to myself?...it;s not somethign i need to learn...it's something i choose not to do. and ther eis nothing wrong with having opionions that are different from other people..this is not a repect issiue.... i think the fact that he died of a drug overdose makes him a fucking idiot... PERIOD.....this thread wasn;t called...HEDRIX'S ABILITY TO PLAY GUITAR"....if it was i would probably have much different thing to say because as far as a guitarist i think he was fucking AMAZING.... onoe foo a kind.. no one else will ever come close.. but in general i think if you are stupid enough to die of a drug over dose YOUR A FUCKING IDIOT......so azhazhell... fuck you if you think i should keep my opionions to yourself... peopel are going to say shit you don;t like.. fucking deal with it
ChillinBuzz	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 7:44 AM Chill Feel the need to play Jimi Hendrix today now. Feel the music.
azhazhellfire	Date: September 26, 2002 @ 7:05 AM this guy's behaviour patterns are very interesting (refering to starseven) meep (he needs a wider smile for this occassion)
Smoketomuch	Date: October 1, 2002 @ 10:41 AM mis-information.James Marshall Hendrix did not die of a drug overdose, he died as a result of a mixture of wine and normal everday sleeping tablets.Barbituates react with even small amounts of alchohol and can induce vomiting in small doses.There is no eveidence in the coroners report(that I have persoanlly read..have you!) to suggest an 'overdose of barbituates'.Jimi died as a result of a simple chemical reaction between two glasses of wine and a couple of sleeping pills.When asleep and you vomit, you simply 'drown' and die.No typical 'overdode here, just an accident beause a certain brand of sleeping pill reacted with the fairly normal dose of sleeping pills he took.I know a lady friend who recently died because she took panadol for too long, simply because she was overweight.I hope you have compassion when someone you love dies, because it seems you are fairly lacking in compassion. Jimi was a great man, Musician... And when you meet him in the spirit world I hope you have to look him in the eyes and apologise. I have not insulted you ,,and I agree you have your opinion, but you've ignored the musical genius of the man and gone for the 'tabloid press' approach . Lets here your critique of one of his tracks, even if you don't like it , so you can present a intelligent response, instead of a cruel one . And remeber ..you will die sometime...maybe tommorow maybe in eighty years , and maybe in a less than 'perfect' way. Better watch every step to make sure you live your life 'perfectly' from now on..eh?...and if you want to insult me , go ahead ...i'll totally ignore you!" id="21622">Starseven ,thanks for your opinion but I believe you are the product of mis-information.James Marshall Hendrix did not die of a drug overdose, he died as a result of a mixture of wine and normal everday sleeping tablets.Barbituates react with even small amounts of alchohol and can induce vomiting in small doses.There is no eveidence in the coroners report(that I have persoanlly read..have you!) to suggest an 'overdose of barbituates'.Jimi died as a result of a simple chemical reaction between two glasses of wine and a couple of sleeping pills.When asleep and you vomit, you simply 'drown' and die.No typical 'overdode here, just an accident beause a certain brand of sleeping pill reacted with the fairly normal dose of sleeping pills he took.I know a lady friend who recently died because she took panadol for too long, simply because she was overweight.I hope you have compassion when someone you love dies, because it seems you are fairly lacking in compassion.
