And um, when I came back to England I put a very complex soundtrack on it, featuring everyone from Jimi Hendrix, right through to Neil Diamond, you know, everybody that was kind of popular who was kind of popular at that time.
Gerald Scarfe
But then there was Hendrix, man. Jimi was really the last cat to freak me. Jimi was playing all the stuff I had in my head. I couldn't believe it, when I first heard him. Man, no one can ever do what he did with a guitar. No one can ever take his place.
Terry Kath
He saw us play a few times in fact. I did this song called I Can't Keep From Crying Sometimes, and Jimi loved it. He paid me a huge compliment when he told me that he was thinking of doing something similar himself!
Alvin Lee
I also played with Jimi Hendrix. Jimi would come down and sit in with Retaliation and we would have a ball. He offered me the gig with him at 20 pounds a week, which at that point, was like 60 bucks.
Aynsley Dunbar
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.
Ziggy Marley
I don't think Jimi committed suicide in the conventional way. He just decided to exit when he wanted to.
Eric Burdon
I liked the Beatles because there was so much melody. Jimi Hendrix is still one of my heroes.
Robert Cray
I never really got to know Jimi as a person.
Johnny Winter
I thought Jimi Hendrix... was just phenomenal.
Carl Wilson
I was listening to Jimi Hendrix; I just admire his artistry and creativity as an artist.
LL Cool J
I was very influenced by Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, both of whom I had the pleasure of playing with and becoming friends with.
Mick Taylor
I watched Janis one time - we opened for her - and that's the only time I ever saw her. We opened for Jimi Hendrix. I got to stand on the side of the stage and watch him for two hours and then he died. But I got the essence before they left.
Stevie Nicks
I've always been the first to admit that Jimi was a very big influence on my early stuff.
Robin Trower
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.
Steven Adler
Jimi Hendrix played loud and free, Sergeant Pepper was real to me.
Al Stewart
Jimi was a good guy 'til he got into drugs. That's the way it is. I just tell it like it is.
Dick Dale
Jimi was always at The Scene when he was in New York and we played many times together. He was just everywhere - he went out and jammed everywhere he was.
Johnny Winter
Jimi... He was the gov'nor and that's it. He was brilliant, wasn't he?
Ritchie Blackmore
Nobody could understand why a guy would love his guitar, then all of a sudden turn around and try to destroy it. Jimi was just different.
Bobby Womack
Richard Lloyd of Television is one of my favorite guitarists. His mentor was Jimi Hendrix when he was just 14. Jimi was always pounding everything he knew into that kid.
