LeftyBlues Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Way too young and a huge loss for all. IMHO had the greatest influence on guitarists in my lifetime period. L.B. I was born at night but I wasn't born last night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bejeeber Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Fortunately Jimi lives on in so many ways. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V18AlRMa3Lo/RlGeQTwFryI/AAAAAAAAA3U/P_delb9-eIk/s320/hendrix-jimi_live-at-woodstock-front.jpg Let's organize a birthday shindig Caevan.

mrmax Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I was a High School student, working in a Music Store on that day in 1970, several older people thought that it was "cute" that I was mourning that day...it still hurts. Rock On Jimi...Still Raining...Still Dreaming! "Got my own world to live in...and I'm not gonna copy you" Jimi Hendrix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Iverson Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 It's amazing how much Jimi still matters to the larger music community, not just guitarists. There are very few artists like that. The Beatles.... Miles... Trane..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertbluesman Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I'm with ya. But I prefer to remember his Birthday (November 27th, 1942). I am just a few weeks older than he would have been had he lived. I may not have gotten famous (which I am eternally grateful for, since fame and fortune lead nowhere), but I outlived the dude by a long shot. I am still to this day amazed at how good he was as far as his compositional ability is concerned. I still listen to his music regularly. dbm If it sounds good, it is good !! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=143231&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picker Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I was a High School student, working in a Music Store on that day in 1970, several older people thought that it was "cute" that I was mourning that day...it still hurts. I was a senior in high school in 1970, and though Jimi dying was a bit of a shock, especially with he, Janis Joplin & Brian Jones dying so close together, I can't say I was emotionally set back by it. I had so much else going on, and it seemed somehow wrong to me to appropriate grief for someone I didn't know personally. I felt kinda the same way when John Lennon died, although I think his death hit a me a little harder because it was like losing a part of my childhood. Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior 1 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Wow, has it really been that long! Picker was right when he mentioned Janis and Brian. Drugs and booze really changed the music landscape. It's a testement to his genius, that the older generation, like me, and even the new generation still love listening to his music. RIP Jimmy.
