Hi all,
on the 27th Novermber 1942 the greatest guitarist of all time was born. On the 18th of Semptember 1970 he passed away because of a drug overdose, at only the age of 27. He is regarded as the greatest guitarist of all time for a very good reason, at one time playing a breathtaking solo with his teeth! He only recorded 3 albums and was half way through his fourth when he died. I still listan to all of his albums and each one is amazing.
Because its a few days after the anniversary of his death I decided to make this thread in dedication to his memory.
ps. If your gonna bash him for what ever, p*ss of from now because it isnt wanted and you arnt appreciated.
Rest In Peace

Never really listened to Jimi Hendix but now that you brought this up, just listened to a few on YouTube and I kind of like his music. Must say I like the guitar solo with the teeth in Hey Joe.
Cheers KB.

Killed himself from using illegal substances.
Ye, i'm going to care!
Good men like Colin Mcrae loose their lives in accidents, idiots like him thow theirs away.
I have no time for drug users, to me, he's 1 less scum bag drug addict in the world.
IMO

i don't think he was the best of all time, but he was the best for his time.
"I have no time for drug users, to me, he's 1 less scum bag drug addict in the world. "
i too think drug users are scumbags and weak-willed fools, but he was a good guitarist nevertheless.

You call death from driving fast an accident? Fast driving is an addiction like any drug, and anyone who abuses a drug will one day pay the price, but this in no way diminishes the talent of either Jimi Hendrix or Colin Mcrae, both of whom had more talent in their little toes than you or I ever will.
Both guys put their lives on the line to be able to perform at their best. You wouldn't understand that, I doubt you'd ever take any risks you are so hung up about something being illegal.

And Jimi wasnt a good man? who tf cares about what u have to say? Didnt I say no bashing please? Name a great rock star or band that were never on drugs. They made there best music in there hard days. Some people like Hendrix where unlucky to survive while others changed there life. Obviously you havnt and cant appreciate real music. Insert and listan to your crappy 50 cent or what ever sh*t you were gonna listan to and come back until you can appreciate real people and music.
You could at least of added a postitive comment. Couldnt you have said somthing like, "yes he was a legend but unfortunately he is an example of what drugs can do?" but instead you chose to bash. wtf, who cares any way lets forget about that post

Um, Mcrae wasn't killed by speeding you know?
And what he done was legal and respected and had many saftey measures in place.
I'm sure sticking a needle in your arm or whatever he done was much worse, no?

It's called an opinion m8, maybe one day you will learn about them.
It's a public forum, and I expressed my opinion.
Wether you liked it or not, tough shit, there's no rules saying I can't be honest.
And it doesn't matter if you don't care what I have to say, you think I care that you don't care?
Go back to school boy.

Peter Brock, Senna, died on the track. They are legends so is Jimi Hendrix, what they did in their personal lives doesn't take away from their success at their respective fields
If you are so small minded you can't even leave the guy alone in a thread dedicated to him, well that says more about you than it does about Jimi.

If any one is acting like a kid its you. Instead of constructive criticism to Jimi, like I mentioned before, you decide to bash. That is what I would call childish. If your gonna bash a legend open your own, ignorant thread and not in a dedication thread. He has a talent you, or I will never have in music and this is a thread to appreciate that.
Dont post in the thread again if your gonna bash. Jimi died choking on his own vomit in his sleep btw

Ah, at least he died with some dignity then.....

And 10 years later another famous and great musician (well, singer) died by choking on his vomit

Elvis died on the toilet from heart attack brought on by addiction to painkillers and uppers. We have him to thank for modern Rock and Roll.
Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Sid Vicious are other great musicians who tragically succumbed to addiction.

Yeah we'd be listening to Frank Sinatra and them if he wasn't around!

Can't say taking your own life isn't stupid and pointless...

i was never a jh fan and have my own opinion about those stars who did suicide, but imo a dedicated thread, especially when the satrter DO asked to keep on topic, shouldnt look like this...
its not about jimmy, MORE to honour and respect the poster...

you just don't get it do you? If you want to discuss the evils of drug taking and suicide, start another thread. This was supposed to be a dedication thread. If you saw a Jimi Hendrix memorial concert, would you stand at the gate shouting out how stupid he was for taking drugs? (you probably would - then again you might also get the shit bashed out of you by pissed off fans)

@max - I've heard LOTS of different things about his death to this very day
same with Bruce Lee 
That they did NOT really die and are NOT those in their coffins 
. . .
Never heard much about this Jimi Hendrix . . . yes, I know that he is a great-guitarist . . . . . but I'm certain that there are still lots of other GREAT guitarist out there (specially in Jazz . . .) who can surpass his achievements. Be it as it may . . . may HE (soul) rest in peace !
