Jimi Hendrix

Jimi Hendrix had at least 2 children. He had a daughter who was born in 1966 called Tamika Laurence James. He also had a son called James Daniel Sundqvist who was born in 1969.

Jimi Hendrix is alledged to have a daughter but it was never proven.

Finally coming to the conclusion that Jimi was/is her father! KEEP IN MIND THAT MORE & MORE PEOPLE POP UP CLAIMING THIS & CLAIMING THAT WHEN YOU ARE A DEAD ICON in hunt of the name recogtion & a payday!

Jimi Hendrix had a massive effect on the music scene in the second half of the 1960s. Unable to get a break at home he moved to London in the years 1965/66 where he literally blew the minds of everyone he met and changed the course of popular music with his unique musical ability. The likes of Pete Townsend of the Who and Eric Clapton were left open mouthed at his mastery of the guitar that seemed to act as a natural extension of his body. The amazing thing about Hendrix was his ability to bring young people of all colors together under his banner at a time when racial tension was rife in the U.S. He returned home a superstar. Hendrix also liked to get high on L.S.D. and other illicit substances which a lot of people copied to 'tune in' to his sound. So it's true to say that he would not have been popular with the ruling establishment. However, it is probably safe to say that Jimi Hendrix is the most influential guitarist of his generation if not every generation since the 1960s.

Jimi died on September 18th 1970. Jimi Hendrix died of a drug overdose at age 27 years old

Jimi Hendrix was essentialy self-taught, starting on a broom with a wire, then a ukelele, then an acoustic guitar. He watched and listened to other musicians and learned from them. Jimi Hendrix - Electric Gypsy by Harry Shapiro & Caesar Glebbeck (1990).

He never came close to having a number one hit.

His only top 40 chart entry was "All along the watchtower" which peaked at number 20 in Sept. 1968.

Jimi Hendrix was born on November 27, 1942.

Machine Gun, the song played by Jimi Hendrix was played to honor the troops in Vietnam.

A cancelled check is worth anywhere from $700-$1400. Albums signed by Morrison and the rest of the Doors are extremely rare and can bring up to $10,000.

The first formal band he was in was called The Velvetones.

he actually never said what religion he had, but he once said, "music is my religion" so......infer from there i guess.

There original drummers name is John Bonham but I am not sure about there replacement drummers for there reunion concerts. It's Jason Bonham, his son.

Hendrix got his first real guitar when he was 15. He got his first electric guitar from his dad when in 1959 when he was 17. He became professional in 1963 when he was 21. But he was never taught to play guitar.

He was Born in Seattle, Washington. He was an artist so he was always on the move.

Mostly Fender Stratocasters, but he also used others like the Epiphone Wiltshire, Fender Jazzmaster, Fender Duo-Sonic, Gibson Flying V, Washburn Acoustin, Epiphone Acoustic, Gibson Les Paul custom, Gibson ES-335, Epiphone Casino, Fender Mustang, and Gibson Acoustic J-200.

Growing daisies above his grave

Yes. Yes he was essentially the Monterey Pop Festival. He blew all the other bands out of the water. His performances climaxed in him setting fire to his guitar for the first time.

Don't know where Mitch is buried but I believe he is from UK. Jimi was buried in his home town in Seatle, Washington State.

Jimi Hendrix's first major recording was with the Isley Brothers (known for the original "Twist and Shout" later covered by the Beatles) but was eventually fired out for his stage antics, and tendency to draw the crowd to him, instead of the Isley Brothers. Afterwards, he joined Little Richard's band, and was fired for the same reason. After moving to England and making the Jimi Hendrix Experience, he gained major popularity in the United States after his Hit single "Hey Joe", followed by his appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival during the Summer of Love.

no, he had bad vision and was too embarrassed to wear glasses, but he was not blind

I believe that Stevie Wonder has sold more records than Jimi Hendrix. While both men are extremely talented and innovative, I think more people can relate to Stevie's music than Jimi's.

Hendrix was booked to play in Columbus sometime in the early 70's (not sure when). I had a ticket, but he cancelled. I got my $11 back; wish I'd kept the ticket.

Hendrix's strings of choice were light-gauge Fender Rock 'N' Roll sets (gauged .010, .013, .015, .026, .032, .038)

I'm a 64 year old brit who went to London Uni 66-69. I saw Jimi Hendrix at Brixton club 68 when Geno Washington failed to show (Ram Jam Club?)

Anyway my point is that the Brits had stamina in rock which was failing in the US culture. I used to go see heroin activated Ginger Baker later in Cream and the Who etc, but the Americans seemed vulnerable not just Hendrix and Janis but the overhyped Doors and the talentless Morrisson vaunted by US fans wanting to end the Brit monopoly of great rock - remember Alvin of Ten Years After? - US had no answer!! we Brits had better stamina. !! the counterculture movement was all in your brain !!

Yes, in my (and many others') opinion, Eddie Van Halen is the best guitarist in the world. People have marveled at his skill for years, and it definitely is unmatched, even by my favorite guitarist from my favorite band, Alex Lifeson of Rush.

Hope this helped!
