“Jimi Hendrix is very important. He's my idol. He sort of epitomizes, from his presentation on stage, the whole works of a rock star. There's no way you can compare him. You either have the magic or you don't. There's no way you can work up to it. There's nobody who can take his place.” WayImportantWholeStarsMagicRocksStageCompareIdolsRock StarPresentationHendrix Author:Freddie Mercury
“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

When I was little, people like Jimi Hendrix were walking around in the living room.” PeopleLittlesLastsMotherStarsBornRoomsMiddleRocksBabyGrewWalkingGrew UpRock N RollRock StarLiving RoomHendrixPromoters Author:Ari Up
