Jimi Hendrix on The Experience | Blank on Blank 

"is that luxurious? I was thinking a tent next to a river"

This interview was 7 days before he died... damn.

He's such a chill dude

what a beautiful person.. he has such a nice voice... I never realised not only how nice he sound when he sings, but also when he speaks.

Hendrix seemed like a real nice guy. most of the interviews I've ever watched of him, he always seems to be polite, smiling and just chill toward everyone. granted, I never meet him or knew anyone that knew him, but just from the little snippets of him I've seen.

I love the animation style of these shorts. It reminds me of cartoons from the seventies.

What a beautiful human being. RIP Jim

I don't think he understood how important he really was. Or if he did, he didn't believe it.

Would be really cool to see a video about Syd Barrett.

Jimi Hendrix was without doubt---the GREATEST rock Guitarist who EVER lived.

"But the way I write things, I just write them with a clash between reality and fantasy, mostly. You have to use fantasy in order to show different sides of reality. Just how it can bend, as the word 'reality' is nothing but each individual's own way of thinking. And then the establishment grabs a big piece of that." ~ Jimi Hendrix 2:20

i agree, there should be more color in the streets.

Jimi was probably one of the most intelligent people when it came to being peaceful but at the same time express your deapest roughest emotions in a beautiful way.

Funny enough,a Canadian company I believe actually made a business out of a room where people can break shit XD. Jimi was ahead of his time even in that

The universe called Jimi home . We weren’t ready for him . 50 years later and we still aren’t ready for Jimi .

The word "cool" is thrown around a lot these days. For me Jimi is the epitome of cool. His style is without equal in everything he touched. There will never be another Jimi. We were all blessed to be part of the Experience. Fly on my sweet angel....

How do you not love Hendrix everything he says is just golden

Jimi's opening statement is the reason why i truly love this man and his art. fucking genius

i get high when jimi talks

What a beautiful mind. The stuff he says just blows my mind, like what other human thinks like that? He was crazy and odd, but a genius. An absolute genius

He had such a cool, chill voice and always seemed so humble and calm. And WHAT a guitarist....

Damn he was cool.

Jimi was an honest man. Many people wanted to project onto him a certain image. I don't think he wanted to be pigeon holed. I think he'd be the first to admit that the "establishment" of today consists largely of the group of "long haired prejudiced freaks" he spoke of back then... Jimi was an honest man. How I wish he was still here....

The song that starts around 2:10 is called “hush now”. One of the many hidden Joni jams that keeps fans busy for decades finding

Greatest musician ever. Bar none!

Oooooh how great are you guys?? Fucking great

I'm a simple man, I see Jimi Hendrix in the title I press like

"You have to use fantasy to show different sides of reality" the man truly was a genius

Legitimately one of the greatest human beings ever to live. I'm so glad that his amazing voice has been preserved for posterity.

When he said music was getting too heavy, he might not have meant the literal sound of it instrumentally by perhaps the subject matter

He has such a soothing voice...

3:21 I thought he was going to say Raging Against the Machine lmao

Sounds like a great band...Raging Against The Establishment Principles

There should be a lot more cuz this audio file is very valuable to some people.

Jimi was a true visionary. "Break rooms" and "Home Theater" were in his head in 1970. Also shy to being complimented. Praise him and you'll get an uncomfortable laugh back with maybe a "Nooooo".

Jimi was such a humble, beautiful soul and the best guitarist of all time. He was so far ahead of his time, something from out of this world. And he was one cool cat. Long live Jimi!!!

I cry every time I hear his voice. He was just the sweetest soul on earth

I think Jimi Hendrix would have absolutely loved virtual reality. Rest in peace, my man.

The bit about the tent and the river is hilarious ... caught the interviewer (and myself) off guard with that one. Just that one snippet of this interview illustrates the complexity and the sense of humor that was so endearing about Jimi.

I love how they added the detail that he plays left handed!

I have headphones on and I was day dreaming and when I stopped I hear this voice and I immediately knew it was Jimi Hendrix and my point is I wasn't even alive when Hendrix was setting the world ablaze and I didn't grow up hearing his music but I knew his voice long after his death....TECHNOLOGY IS AMAZING! 👍🏿

I remember the first ever Jimi Hendrix song I heard. It was Purple Haze. I remember, that at that time I was still going to Kindergarten and was about to go to my grandparents house one day after. They had this big old 1990's grey samsung T.V.. I watched so many movies on that thing, that I clearly remember. But a very certain movie, that I don't exactly remember, but 100 percent sure wasn't a Vietnam War movie, included this very track. My ears were nailed to the T.V.'s speakers when that intro rolled. That exact: dah Dah dah Dah dah Dah dah Dah And the melodic riff of Jimi Hendrix's signature song started jumping left and right and a very deep and scratchy voice was shouting words, that I couldn't understand. I swear I felt like I heard that song somewhere. It was of course impossible, 'cause Rock n roll was and is banned in my country. For Years I wondered what song that was. Who wrote it... Who performed it... It was like an unreachable achievement, that was only possible out of the walls and rules. But what could a lil kid do? It was all like that, until just around 1 or 2 years ago. I was taking interest in music history and a thumbnail popped on the RU-vid's home screen with a skinny looking, afro, black dude wearing a red dress on it, holding a stratocaster. Simply titled The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Purple haze live at Atlanta. (I didn't realised the guitar was upside down until I watched it again) It starts with a non sence intro that I didn't recognized. dArA DaRa dArA DaRa But then that melodic riff. I just simply couldn't believe it. I found it. That same rhythm, that same feeling, that same deep but scratchy voice. This time I knew what he was saying. And since that very day all I listen to is The Jimi Hendrix Experience. The very lost sound of my childhood. It was back and was going to stay. Thanks Jimi. For been existing.

one thing I'm seeing in these historical people: insecurity. It's amazing. But I get that from Jimi, Phillip, Kurt, Janis, Meryl of course Elliott....all except MJ (criminal or not his voice and talent was godly...he was on a high real young). But insecurity is the main personality trait I pick up...amongst these giants....these perfectionists.

this interview was such a breath of fresh air

This is my favorite interview with Jimi. If you could just sit down and talk with him I think this is what it would have sounded like.

I have not heard jimi Hendrix like I had not heard Jim Morrison speak and I'm so jealous of those ppl who spoke with them, heard their songs (live) or hung around with them they were so sorted out with their thoughts, like what they want, feel etc.... Jimi Hendrix has such a beautiful soulful voice. These gems left too soon.

What an absolutely cool guy. The world needs more people like this man. Positive, visionary, and so creative.

a video about Ian Curtis will be awesome for sure

Glorious!!! I've been waiting for this Thank you.

He was ahead of his time damn

If one channel understands style and pacing it's this one, keep it up guys not only hearing but watching your videos inspires me

“A time when you can put a cassette into the side of your TV and have audio and visual together…” They weren’t too far off before the VHS tape was popularized but Hendrix would’ve loved the new VR explosion. 😎🎸🤩

I think the quote "as soon as the power of love becomes more important than the love of power, the world will become a better place" sums up what he was driving at. He had a heart. He definitely had a heart.

"The way I write things, I just write them with a clash between reality and fantasy mostly." Brilliant! :D

Thank you very much. The animation helps further bring to life Jimi's great sense of humor and insight into life, the universe, and everything.

As someone who carries Jimi close to my heart and my absolute favorite guitar player, it makes me sad to hear just how light hearted and humorous he was only a week before he died. I am not sure why, but it has always been pushed that he was miserable and searching for a direction when he died. This shows how there was just no way he 'helped' the way he ended. I mean, there is a picture taken of him the day before he passed of him pouring tea into a cup for his Stratocaster he has sitting in a chair next to him. What that man did in 4 short years is staggering. One of the most gigantic tragedies in all of music is that he did not get to continue to grow and evolve.

He sounds so incredibly humble. The worlds worse off without him❤️

Jimi Hendrix was so cool.and talented without a doubt. RIP JIMI HENDRIX

Thanks for making this video and keep up the good work. It's always nice to watch them.

It’s so crazy how he just talks about what he’s gonna do like any normal person, zero idea that he was gonna die the next week

Honestly a beautiful person

His voice personifies humility. A great human being.

One of the most precious and beautiful human beings. Love you Jimi I hope your resting easy. ♥️♥️

His attitude is so refreshing

Happy birthday Jimi🎸🎸

He had probably the heaviest song of the century with "machine gun"

I've been binge watching a bunch of the episodes all day and i just found this channel today i also just love the animation in all this

He was so chill and intelligent

4:50 Literally the highest thing a single person has said

3:58 hey, that was from the Kurt Cobain Blank on Blank

You can tell he's smiling as he speaks constantly. He was such a happy guy

So awesome! I love hearing him talk. He had such a great philosophy on life. I miss him so much.

His voice has some melancholy in it, kind of like his soul is blue.

This video showed me the human side of jimi. I always saw him as this untouchable legend but he was really just a normal guy

Such an incredible artist. I wish we could have heard more from him.

My great grandpa always said to me “if you can’t play like Jimi, than you ain’t a guitarist” as soon as I think, I found a new sound… I find out very quickly Jimi did it already 😅

i feel this is a re-up but still a fun watch

He would cry tears of joy if he tried vr

I have never heard Jimi's voice before very soothing

wow that was a really cool visual beautiful to my ears and light and fun to my eyes, loved it. I could listen to that interview a thousand times his voice softens my emotions when there out of control. He's my mindfulness.

Believe It or Not, Jimi was in an Army Airborne Division before his musical career. I have seen copies of his Army Psychiatric Report, and all I can say is "What were they thinking putting him in an Airborne Division!" The report indicates they seemed to be trying to accommodate him, but he was totally beyond reach. Both Jimi and the Army psychiatrists were crazy, especially in light of Jimi's bizzare behavior, which I'll not elaborate upon.

"Freaks, they're very prejudiced... You have to have your hair long and talk a certain way..."

He seems so chill and I love it

We need more of these!!!!

I love how playful he was when he talked. Just like his music, playful. Playful and optimistic, not super cynical, it's so refreshing to this day.

And when the music got too heavy, just like helium, he flew away.....

His laugh is so humble and pure.

WELL DONE! Cleverly crafted and choreographed. WAY COOL graphics. AND OF COURSE, there are no "uncool" Hendrix interviews. EPIC! Thank You, Ted Furlo

"when it gets too heavy it's going to be helium" prophetic of '80s shit rock!

How does this not have more views?

Love his laugh. Thankful I got to hear his laugh.

I feel like I knew Jimi even though I've never met him. I love his reactions. Just his laugh when he said " you're known to have invented psychedelic music". The helium quote is amazing

Alot of you forget he was only 27...

I was never alive during Jimi’s existence I’m only 13 but Jimi seems like such a cool guy I’ve always preferred older music than modern music

Thank you for this, honestly!!

Such a great vid!! Thank you

Raging Against.... The Establishment so close haha.

this is a re upload right? did you get permission this time? i hope so i really want to keep watching this

This is so awesome

His voice is amazing!
