“After months of playing air guitar to 'Free Bird', what really got me into guitar was watching a documentary about Jimi Hendrix and picking up the Woodstock soundtrack. Listening to his version of 'Star Spangled Banner' and 'Purple Haze.' My brother played acoustic guitar and, idolising him, I thought, 'I'm going to get a guitar.'” StarsAirBrotherListeningMonthsBirdGuitarVersionsMy BrotherDocumentariesPurpleAcousticsBannerSoundtracksHendrixHazeAcoustic GuitarWoodstockPurple HazeAir Guitar Author:Kirk Hammett
“I don't have an image of myself, when I'm walking down the street, like I'm a rock star or something. I'm a human being, I'm a friend, I'm a mom, I'm a writer, and I'm an artist. I do play electric guitar and all of that but in the end I'm just a person. I really don't live like a rock star, economically or socially. I still live a pretty simple life beside the traveling aspect of it.” HumansPersonsStillsEndsPlayArtistStarsHuman BeingsSimpleStreetsRocksMomWalkingAspectGuitarElectricRock StarSimple LifeElectric Guitar Author:Patti Smith
