Hendrix Quotes

Who I am as a guitarist is defined by my failure to become Jimi Hendrix Picture Quote #1

Ive always loved the blues, John Lee Hooker, Janis Joplin, Hendrix Picture Quote #1

Stop saying drug use makes people lazy. Jimi Hendrix did a lot of drugs, even though he’s been dead for forty years, he’s still making new records. Suck on that, Partnership for a Drug-Free America! Picture Quote #1

I was impressed by Hendrix. Not so much by his playing, as his attitude - he wasn’t a great player, but everything else about him was brilliant Picture Quote #1

Hendrix was the bass player for Little Richard. We were both left-handed, but we would use a right-handed guitar held upside down and backwards. He developed my slides and my riffs. In fact he used to say, and this is documented, ‘I patterned my style after Dick Dale.’ Picture Quote #1

When I started reaching teenage years, I listened to everything that was on the radio like everyone else did, which was Chuck Berry, Beach Boys and then of course The Beatles, Stones. And of course in the 60’s, I was completely blown away like everyone else by Hendrix, Cream, Deep Purple, Jeff Beck and all of that... so those were my influences Picture Quote #1

I’m in a hallowed league of artists. Whether it’s Billie Holiday or Rakim or Jimmy Hendrix or... I don’t know, MGMT, we’re all blessed to be able to create. It’s a lineage that extends a long time. And to be able to be active in it and have made a difference in it, it’s humbling. To know I had a place in all of this; that’s the rewarding part Picture Quote #1

I’m like a middle-aged person; when my friends go on about modern bands, I don’t know what they are talking about. I’m into rock n’ roll, like Jimi Hendrix. Not so much because of my parents, who used to play a lot of Nina Simone and older blues, but my brother and sister Picture Quote #1

The road has taken a lot of the great ones: Hank Williams, Buddy Holly, Otis Redding, Janis, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Picture Quote #1

I was very friendly with Jimi Hendrix because my boyfriend at the time, Tommy Weber, was making a film about him, so I would go to all of his shows Picture Quote #1

I loved Hendrix. I mean, really, really loved him. As if he were one of the great classical composers. And he was. That’s how I saw him Picture Quote #1

As far as rock groups, I really like Stone Temple Pilots. As for classical composers, it’s Bach. I love Paganini, too, the Italian composer who would break strings during a performance and finish playing on just one string. Someone I would have loved to play with is Jimi Hendrix Picture Quote #1

I liked a lot of the things other people liked - Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Van Halen, AC/DC - but if I compared it to my dad’s music, there just seemed to be elements missing Picture Quote #1

It’s the most psychedelic experience I ever had, going to see Hendrix play. When he started to play, something changed: colors changed, everything changed Picture Quote #1

The Marshall guitar amplifier doesn’t just get louder when you turn it up. It distorts the sound to produce a whole range of new harmonics, effectively turning a plucked string instrument into a bowed one. A responsible designer might try to overcome this limitation - probably the engineers at Marshall tried, too. But that sound became the sound of, among others, Jimi Hendrix. That sound is called electric guitar Picture Quote #1

There are people who are great technical players like Eric Clapton, and there are people who are great intuitive songwriters like Daniel Johnston. There are sometimes people who are great at both the technique and the creativity, the two sides of the coin, maybe Jimi Hendrix Picture Quote #1

Since I was seventeen I thought I might be a star. I’d think about all my heroes, Charlie Parker, Jimi Hendrix... I had a romantic feeling about how these people became famous Picture Quote #1

[My favourite song is] All Along the Watchtower. The Jimi Hendrix cover Picture Quote #1

I’ve been blessed. I grew up and played and worked and created with the Freddie Mercury, the Jimi Hendrix, the Keith Richards, the John Paul Jones of my generation Picture Quote #1

I invented rock and roll. Jimi Hendrix was my guitar player. James Brown was my vocalist Picture Quote #1

Oddly enough, Hendrix is not my favorite guitar player. There are very few guitar players I get feeling from Picture Quote #1

I ended up spending some time with Jimi Hendrix and hanging out with him, and that was beyond awesome Picture Quote #1

Hendrix was big in England. We all became good friends and I am still in touch with Noel Redding Picture Quote #1

I am a leader. Leaders always get heat. They're always going against the grain. Jimi Hendrix got heat; Bob Marley got heat; Miles Davis got heat. Every great artist got heat. Heat means you're doing something right Picture Quote #1

Hendrix is one of the most revolutionary figures in today’s pop culture, musically and sociologically Picture Quote #1

I was impressed by Hendrix. His attitude was brilliant. Even the way he walked was amazing Picture Quote #1

I was impressed by Hendrix. Not so much by his playing, as his attitude - he wasn’t a great player, but everything else about him was brilliant Picture Quote #1

Secretly, I wanted to look like Jimi Hendrix, but I could never quite pull it off Picture Quote #1

Since I was seventeen I thought I might be a star. I’d think about all my heroes, Charlie Parker, Jimi Hendrix... I had a romantic feeling about how these people became famous Picture Quote #1

What I wanted to do in rock ‘n roll was merge poetry with sonic scapes, and the two people who had contributed so much to that were Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison Picture Quote #1
