Jimi Hendrix !!!!

[Gerardo]

Lei una vez que el origen de Foxy Lady se da a partir de un insulto de Jagger a una pareja de Hendrix...sera verdad?

No que yo sepa pero Dolly Dagger sí fue inspirada en Mick Jagger

Una parte de la letra dice "She drinks her blood from a jagged edge…"

la historia es que durante esos momentos atrás del escenario en el último cumpleaños de Jimi en el MSG el día que se grabá la mayor partte de Get Yer Ya Ya's Out, Mick accidentalmente se corta un dedo, cuando pidió un "curita" (band aid) la vieja del Jimi Devon Wilson le dijo que no era necesario y en presencia de Jimi le chupo la sangre del dedo hasta que dejó de sangrar

[Gerardo]

Nik, que yo sepa "Mr. Jimmy" en YCAGWYW no es Jimi Hendrix es Jimmy Miller

[Gerardo]

No sabìa lo de Andy Summers... pero lo que sí se es que el primer palomazo en público lo hizo con... a ver quien contesta

[Gerardo]

Otra trivia... ¿quién le presentó Jime a Chas Chandler? y como estuvo (es relacionado con los stones)

[NIK JAGER]

es linda keith la ruby tuesday de keith y brian

hay premio ...jajaj

[Lord Neurus]

Yo tambien habua entendido que YCAGWYW se refiere a Jimmy Miller y lo de Hendryx es nuevo para mi, pero la anecdota de Nick le da mas sentido a la cancion. De todos modos son mas que nada conjeturas pero bien interesantes.

¿Ustedes sabían que Jimi tenía sangre negra, sangre Cherokee y sangre Mexicana?

James Hendrix was part black, part Cherokee Indian and part Mexican. He left school early, having developed a keen interest in music but unable to read it.

Perfectas tus respuestas Cucho! Nada más aclaro que primero tocó con Cream.

Eric Clapton no quería darle chance, tampoco Jack ni Ginger, pero Chas le dijo que lo único que pedían era que le diera la oportunidad de tocar, Linda Keith le dijo que quje putos eran y Eric accedió cuando le preguntó a Chas ¿debera sabe tocar a nuestra altura? Chas le dijo que era lo mejor que había visto... Eric le dio chance y al acabar le dijo a Chas hoy nació una leyenda este es el mejor guitarrista que he visto

Once in England, Chandler immediately set out to turn Jimi into a star. On the way from the airport, they stopped by the house of bandleader Zoot Money. Jimi attempted to play his Stratocaster through Money's stereo, and when that failed, he grabbed an acoustic guitar and began to wail. Andy Summers, who a dozen years later would help form the Police, lived in the basement and heard the commotion. When he came upstairs to join the informal party and found himself mesmerized by how Jimi's huge hands seemed at one with the instrument's neck, he became the first of Britain's guitar players to be awed by Jimi's phenomenal skill.

Also rooming in the house was twenty-year-old Kathy Etchingham, who would soon also be smitten by Jimi. She worked as a part-time DJ and had dated Brian Jones, Keith Moon and a few other rock stars. Money's wife tried to wake her to tell her about the new sensation in the living room. She said, "Wake up, Kathy. You've got to come and see this guy Chas has brought back. He looks like the Wild Man of Borneo." The tag would later end up as one of Jimi's nicknames in the tabloids, a consequence of his unkempt physical appearance and his race, both of which were so unusual on London's music scene that he might as well have been a new anthropological discovery. The name was racist, of course, and the description would never have been used for a white musician. Still, Jimi enjoyed the nickname, as it sounded mysterious and foreign, qualities he hoped to cultivate.

Etchingham was too tired to take a peek at the so-called wild man, but later that evening she went for a drink at a club and discovered Jimi onstage. As he started to play blues tunes, the club went silent and the crowd watched in a sort of shared rapture. "He was just amazing," Etchingham recalled. "People had never seen anything like it." Eric Burdon of the Animals was one of the many musicians at the club that night. "It was haunting how good he was," Burdon said. "You just stopped and watched."

Walking out of the club, Jimi -- unaware that British cars drove on the left side of the street -- stepped in front of a taxi. "I managed to grab him and pull him back, and the taxi just brushed him," Etchingham said. Later, Jimi asked her to come to bed with him. She found him charming and handsome, and consented. They would stay together for the next two years, and Etchingham would be one of Jimi's longest-term girlfriends. She knew everyone on the scene, and she became his entree into Swinging London and friendships with the Who, the Rolling Stones and many other bands.

Jimi had been in England less than twenty-four hours and he'd already wowed a key segment of London's music scene, bedded his first English "bird" and narrowly avoided death. He had spent twenty-three years of his life struggling in an America where black musicians were outcasts within rock music. In one single day in London, his entire life had permanently been recast.

Chas Chandler's partner was Michael Jeffrey, the Animals' manager and a former British intelligence officer who did little to defuse sinister rumors that he had killed people as a spy. They placed a "musicians wanted" ad in Melody Maker, which drew in a twenty-year-old guitar player named Noel Redding. He had never before played bass, but Jimi liked Redding's frizzy hair, which reminded him of Dylan, and he was hired.

Even after Redding was hired, Chandler phoned Brian Auger, who led the blues-based jazz band the Brian Auger Trinity, and proposed a radical idea. "I've got this really amazing guitar player from America," Chandler told him. "I think it would be perfect if he fronted your band." Auger declined. As a fallback, Chandler asked if Jimi could at least jam with the Trinity at a show that evening. To this, Auger agreed.

The Trinity's guitarist, Vic Briggs, was setting up his gear when Jimi came onstage. Briggs was using one of the first Marshall amplifiers, an experimental model that had four six-inch speakers -- smaller than the later Marshall stacks but still capable of tremendous power. When Jimi plugged his guitar into the amp, he turned the amplifier volume knobs to their maximum, much to Briggs' amazement. "I had never had the controls up past five," Briggs said. Seeing Briggs' look of horror, Jimi said, "Don't worry, man, I turned it down on the guitar." He shouted out four chords and began.

The sound was a wall of feedback and distortion, which itself was enough to turn every head in the club; the moment also marked the beginning of Jimi's love affair with Marshall amplifiers. "Everyone's jaw dropped to the floor," Auger said. "The difference between him and a lot of the English guitar players like Clapton, Jeff Beck and Alvin Lee was that you could still tell what the influences were in Clapton's and Beck's playing. There were a lot of B.B. King, Albert King and Freddie King followers around in England. But Jimi wasn't following anyone -- he was playing something new."

Just a week after Jimi landed in England, Cream were playing a show at the Polytechnic in central London. Chandler bumped into Clapton a few days before and told him he'd like to introduce Jimi sometime. Meeting Clapton, of course, was the one promise Chandler had made to Jimi before they left New York. Clapton mentioned the Polytechnic gig and suggested Chandler bring his protege. In all likelihood, Clapton meant he would be glad simply to meet Jimi, but Jimi nonetheless arrived with his guitar. Chandler, Jimi and their girlfriends stood in the audience during the first half of the show, and Chandler called up to the stage and summoned Clapton over to ask if Jimi might jam. The request was so preposterous that no one in Cream -- Clapton, Jack Bruce or Ginger Baker -- knew quite what to say: No one had ever asked to jam with them before; most would have been too intimidated by their reputation as the best band in Britain. Bruce finally said, "Sure, he can plug into my bass amp."

Jimi plugged his guitar into a spare channel and immediately began Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor." "I'd grown up around Eric, and I knew what a fan he was of Albert King, who had a slow version of that song," recalled press agent Tony Garland, who was at the show. "When Jimi started his take, though, it was about three times as fast as Albert King's version, and you could see Eric's jaw drop -- he didn't know what was going to come next." Remembering the show later, Clapton said, "I thought, 'My God, this is like Buddy Guy on acid.' "

When Bruce told his version of the fabled event, he focused on Clapton's reaction and alluded to graffiti in London that proclaimed, "Clapton is God." "It must have been difficult for Eric to handle," Bruce said, "because [Eric] was 'God,' and this unknown person comes along and burns." Jeff Beck was in the audience that night, and he, too, took warning from Jimi's performance. "Even if it was crap -- and it wasn't -- it got to the press," Beck later said. Jimi had been in London for eight days and he had already met God, and burned him.

por ahi encontre un buen articulo.-
la maldición de los 27 en el rock.
Que tienen en común jimi h. janis j. jim m. y brian j. sin duda escribieron una pagina de oro en la historia del rock. pero más alla de su aporte musica, como si huberan firmado un pacto, estos cuatro jinetes del apocalilipsis de los 60 se fueron al cielo (o al infierno?) a la misma edad y en ciercustancias muy parecidas.-
james marshall hendrix
la neblina púrpura.
primero se registro como: johnny allen pero despues su padre le cambio el nombre y adopto el diminutivo de jimmi en 1966. autodidacta desde niño, acompaño a leyendas del rock como. BB. KING, SAN COOKE, LITTLE RICHARD, su pasión por la guitarra lo llevaba a completmentar eternas sesiones de ensayo dicen haberlo visto sellar con sangre de las yemas de los dedos el pacto de amor al sonido del requinto.
cuatro años y medio fueron suficientes para que se garnara un espacio en el domicilio del rock. el 18 de septiembre muere de l970 en un hotel de inglatera, el huracan se convirtio en desastre., ingirio de un solo golpe una mezcla de barbitúricos, somniferos y alcohol ...tenia 27 años de edad.
 jimi era zurdo.

es increible como hendrix tomo de bajista al guitarrista Noel Readin solo por el pelo con rulos a lo Dylan .
Noel en su libro cuenta que Brian jones lo introdujo al LSD camino a a Monterrey POP con un STP ..acido de 72 horas de duracion y de una vez que estaba con Hendrix y en un bar no les servian trago ya que los confundieron con payasos de circo por su vestimenta y en dicho bar estaban prohibidos de  atender a la gente del circo que habia acampado cerca de ahi .cuando ellos e dieron cuenta que los habian confundido con payasos se fueron al piso de la risa ..
