Considering the loneliness he experienced growing up, I fully empathize with his emotional state as an adult desiring true intimacy. It must be hard for any person who acquires fame to find someone that loves and adores them for "them". Heck, even as just a nobody it's hard to find this. Poor soul.
Well said, it's pretty hard to find someone who wants the best for you, without being famous, I can't imagine how hard it must be, if you are famous. I also ca imagine that in the beginning its for sure a lot of fun, if almost every woman wants to sleep with you, but after a while I'm pretty sure you will feel a big amount of emptiness in you.
I can understand how Jimi felt after having his way with many groupies on the road. They were anamored with the idea of him and the social currency it brought being associated with him especially at that time. For a sensitive man, I can see how that would make the connection he longed for, especially having his mother pass away when he was 7 - seem shallow, fleeting and unfullfilling. He was a deep, sensitive, passionate musician which is why his music lives on and on...
Bullshit man he was about 11 years old when his father brought him his first guitar, when he was 15 he was playing in a band around Seattle, so get it right man.
The thing is, Jimmy would never have had access to the volumes of gorgeous women that came to him if he wasn’t famous. And that’s the catch 22 isn’t it? Lots of men want to have money and fame so that they can get a lot of women it’s like a fantasy… until they realize that none of those women would look at them twice if they weren’t famous and wealthy. And God for bid they ever lose that money somehow or their fame dwindles. All of a sudden all those adoring women have moved onto the next, and he’s sitting there alone.
I remember interpreting his struggles with women to be very obvious. . .The live version of a song Stepping Stone was most catchy to me, "I'm a man at least I'm trying to be, I'm looking for that girl to be, but I ain't gone search for nothing desperately". "Are you a woman, at least you look like you are, but you made it off in bed with my guitar"
Exactly! Stepping Stone speaks exactly about the situation Micheal is talking about. What's saddest is I feel like Jimi never felt... Appreciated as just a human being. Everyone wanted a piece of him for eith financial gain, social gain, personal gain and so on and so on and all of the above... He probably felt used in every single way constantly. RIP Jimi we love and miss you.
I don't think Jimi was ever truly in love , if he lived longer he eventually would have met the right person . He would have gotten married , had children a huge Hollywood home . Maybe he would have done some acting like he thought about doing once upon a time .
Difficult to say - it's different for everyone. I reckon he would have gone back & settled in the States, and maybe Produced or wrote Film Music. Something like that.
Girl with the chrome kneepads?? Anyway, this guy's basically laying down what it's like to be objectified. Kind of explains why Jimi still had the blues after hitting it big.. and definitely gave the interviewer guy some perspective to ruminate over.
Jimi had already mastered seduction before he hit the bigtime. Part of it was his surival, on tour and needing a place to crash or be taken care of. The other part was his talent and charisma which was undeniable even pre ‘66. He was a smooth talker and obviously very good looking and charming I think after he hit it big his chi was drained from too much sex, not enough sleep and not eating right and of course the drugs and alchohal.
Marlon. Spot on also add his last girlfriend Monnika Danneman was extremely jealous of all attention from other ladies shallow superficial and the worst thing possible for Jimi. draining chi energy. She was the opposite of what a good woman could do for a man.
I fell in love with Jimi's music as a teenager in the 90's, and I read the book written by Chas Chandler & Mitch Mitchell. I loved reading about Jimi's life and his journey from a child in Seattle to the streets of London and beyond. I can't remember the name of the book, but I really enjoyed reading it! Jimi's music still lights me up inside after all these years! RIP Jimi Hendrix, gone way too soon, but never forgotten! ❤❤
The 90s were amazing. As a teen I went through a 60s phase in the 90s as well, still going through it on most days. David Gilmour was my knight in shining armor. 🎸 Although he was popularized in the 70s but you get the point.
If Jimi wanted to be perceived as just an every day person & not constantly being put on a pedestal with everyone wanting a piece of him... then why should the guy who does his clothes have to wax particularly profound or philosophical? Jimi probably chose him because he is a simple, straightforward, kind of guy who is not out to impress anyone. I think he says what is needed & answers the interviewers questions just fine.
First off, you need to learn to speak better English. Second, Jimi obviously chose him as his main clothes-maker because he liked the style of the clothes he made…I’m sure the personality was an added bonus, because he wouldn’t have hired him if he was making lackluster clothing, idiot.
Jimi died very young - at the peak of his fame. So yes, it's normal, he enjoyed a lot of attention at this time. We can't formulate any kind of judgment from this.
Age is illusion.Young can be just as effective as 120 years old.It means nothingthose 27 years....see them as a chapter.That 1 was written and therefor done.
Woman dissapointed.They only show for an introverted entity when money and fame stands next to you .he stood next to that mountain,as he loved to chop her down with the ledge of his hand....
Girls who love rock stars aren't mainly in it for the money, they fall in love with the character "Jimi" and the life changing music. Jimi "the rockstar" is like no ordinary man, he makes them feel happy, free, powerful and sexual -- they just want to be near him. It's all fantasy, Jimi the man was just human.
"Why does that make you sad though?!" Dude needs to get laid and doesn't see a reality beyond. Just like people who don't understand how a rich guy can get depressed after he's seen it all. Jimi needed a real emotional connection and all he could get is these vultures, these empty shells. Comparable to only being allowed to get with realistic sex dolls with a speech AI inside. Different people would still enjoy that, and some would get depressed because they need a real person with qualities and flaws.
Do not diminish the hormonal strength of a mid 20's man. Selling music is adversarial. Like a lot of simple relationships, even like ordering a detailed lunch. An artist with a human life is fine.
Kathy his girlfriend from England was really caring to him. I loved her book and she fell for Jimi and lived with him in England. She was the real thing. I believe fame changed him a bit and he was so young and having to travel too much but he loved Kathy and wrote "The wind cries Mary " for her. It was crazy when the fame came. He was very sexy and cute.
Who said that? Do you believe that? Even Kathy said that wasn't true, and she's the one in that movie that shows Jimi beating her twice was false. So how can you say this?
@@shable1436 How? Because of all the people who saw it and have gone on the record. Grifters like Kathy, and May Pang, need to protect their abuser's reputation bc their grift depends on it.
@@larryfloyd5111 may pang? She never met Jimi, wtf are you talking about? So Kathy said that never happened, Google it, what record are you talking about?
@@shable1436 May Pang was John Lennon's gf. He once verbally abused her in public but she denies it even though there are witnesses. The point is her and Kathy's identities are tied to their abusers. Also, I'm not going to do your homework for you.
@@larryfloyd5111 I think you're reaching, equating them to wife beaters when they had microscopes on their lives is definitely something that they couldn't get away with. You're a jaded woman who probably has been abused and thus are projecting, I'm sorry if you've been abused in anyway by any man, but calling dead ppl abusers without proof is in bad taste, and character. You're viewing them from a bias POV of 50 years future knowledge, and still using rumours made up. Why don't you call out Elvis, who was known to hit females before, but you seem to have a vendetta, and then I ask proof, yet you don't provide any, but say your not going to do research for me , that's typical rebuff of someone who can't back up their claims.
@5:30 “Why would that make him sad tho?” Put yourself in his shoes. Eating Rice Krispies 6 times a day for the rest of your life is not an appealing life to look forward to.
It made him sad because they didn't want him for the spirit and essence of who he was.. he couldn't be James with them, he had to be Jimi.. the only wanted the facade, the idea of what they thought he was .
As a musician / guitarist myself I can honestly say that everything is true about women going crazy over musicians. As fate would have it at 16 I bought my first electric guitar a Fender strat cream white which, I later found out, was the exact same model Jimmy played at Woodstock. But I digress. I’ve seen how before a gig when chatting to a 9.5 Latina Salsa dancer/bartender girl who had the greatest curves in the world I’m not joking. I’m digressing again lol. But the short of it : She acted bored and uninterested. Now AFTER our show she literally waved me over to where she sat and told the dude who was talking to her to go back to his friends. Yes people once a woman/girl has seen you perform on stage they will chase you down. Hopefully they won’t steal your clothes😂
Well I’m 17 and 2 years ago I discovered 60’s Brit rock and blues genre and jimi was someone I found intresting after Clapton ( for me Clapton comes first in any list ) so after I liked jimi and his music, I started listening to different different things and *suddenly out of no where I had a dream of a vintage movie type playing where jimi is in a pretty posh and cool house recording with his wife and his child, he is recording his wife and child and they even dance along the poolside and he was talking I don’t know what, this is maybe his life in a alternate reality where he didn’t die in 1970, he is settled and has a beautiful family and son* 😌
Clapton is so overrated, obviously Cream was great (especially because of Baker and Bruce) as well as Derek and the Dominos, but man, even amongst his contemporaries, especially Jeff Beck, his soloing is so pedestrian.
@@dashiellsisson9263 hmm… well I think I have completely opposite way of seeing it, you see he did things while being in cream and John mayall’s blues breakers that inspired a hell lot of people, jimi Hendrix was a Clapton fan, every guy buying Les Paul burst from the 60’s was Clapton fan therefore chasing tone, and rings now the John Mayer is doing sob rock movement that is heavily inspired and sometimes imitated by claptons’s 80’s era…. I think Clapton and cream is underrated compared to led zeppelin, AC/DC, and black sabbath
@@sarthwahb again, I love Cream. And I’m not a huge Zeppelin fan, certainly not an AC/DC fan. My comment is strictly guitar based. Clapton’s soloing, outside of Crossroads, which is cool because he actually uses major & minor pentatonic runs, double stops & outlines the dominant chord, leaves a lot to be desired, even in rock where soloing over changes wasn’t as prevalent back then like it was in jazz and fusion, there were lots of his contemporary blues based/rock guitarists with much tastier solos. It should also be noted that Clapton sounded best with his SG (the fool) or his ES335, his tone was so much darker, richer and cooler when he played Gibson’s with Marshall amplifiers. Hence all of his “woman tone” & wah wah stuff.
@@dashiellsisson9263 yeah right, I researched and found that lot of his cream songs are played on Les Paul which was stolen after a cream rehearsal and then he started borrowing guitars, his tone with the fool sg is great and can be heard in many live and other songs still if we look at guitar based influence than yes he inspired from van halen to Mayer, his solos for strang brew, tales of brave Ulysses, white room, sunshine of your love, n.s.u. And I feel free are something that moved me and actually made me pickup guitar… if anyone asked me who’s my guitar gods then Ima say *1) Eric Clapton 2) Steve Vai 3) Eddie van halen / Jimi Hendrix 4) Jimmy page / Roy Clark*
People view Jimi has this guitar god from another planet, but the reality was he was a human an incredibly talented and creative one. I feel like he got taken advantage of a lot. I wish he had closer friends around him..but I heard he was pretty far out. Does anyone know who his best friends were?
Don't think he really had a real "best friends", if anything I'd say it was Billy Cox. He had many friends but from so many accounts it seems Jimi didn't get too close to people... I'm sure Jimi had massive abandonment issues from his childhood and life and fame only made it worst for the reasons Mike is speaking of here.
I'm in North Nashville and Jimi was here before New York & off to London to become a star and rumors around town is Jimi NEVER had problems with women. Even before all the fame in all of his shy awkwardness, the ladies were DRAWN to his undeniable presence.
The Truth is, he wasn't just another person, and everyone wants what is Real Success. It's intuitive and instinctive for people to run after that. Your soul and higher mind recognises what is Real, what is True. Thats what Jimi was. He was One in a million or perhaps a Billion.
Jimi's situation was no different to anyone elses. Every relationship is a transaction of some sort. No one is loved for who they really are because it is impossible to perceive someone as they really are. Besides that Jimi knew some fine women and it was his choice to live the way he did. I totally respect his choice too, the standard concept of romance and relationships is a hideous construct which is still poisoned by the hypocrisy and dishonesty of religion which helped form it
You diminishing love with this view. Its a force like waves or sunlight. I don’t think it’s essence is transactional at all, It’s the opposite. If its real love. If it is transactional its not love maybe something else like affection or fascination. You can also have those things in a loving relationship but its got a separate motivation to that of love, it’s a different aspect of the relationship. It’s wrong to confuse the two imo. Love the force is like what a mother feels for her baby. Its pure and cant be completely understand or explained by logic or language.
I don’t think everyone needs to adhere to traditional relationships to be happy but it’s far from a hideous construction. there is a reason that the vast majority of cultures and people throughout time have settled in families with one significant other: it makes life easier, provides emotional support, fulfills most people, and it is the best way to raise children. Religions have taken advantage of people using some of these principles but I believe the origin of these types of relationships goes much deeper than social conditioning.
@@RGZ112 Yeah, even Homo Neanderthalus and Homo Erectus show signs of pair bonding, hard and serial monogamy, so it's much older and deeper than religiousity to pair bond and fall in love with a partner, also because human beings have social relationships as a way of life we love in a more general sense that is not romantic and this is not due to religion or social conditioning but evolution. What social conditioning and religions have done have relied on these instincts and drives for validation of their truth or too try and force the human animal to have broader groups of inclusion and special designations of out classes determined by heirarchies which is also not due to religion, but again evolution.
Yeah definitely not true There is Love without Transction there are two different types of interpersonal relationships real ones and transactional ones that’s it
The women who latched onto Jimi wanted sex and money, or at least the life of having money. Love? Lord above! Now you're tryin' to trick me in love. He might have been in love, but who was in love with him?
There's no place for love anywhere. The older I get the more I see that relationships are transactional whether platonic or romantic. There's nothing in anything except what you bring and people will dismiss you or take you on based on that. There's no love.
@@boblotoldo3051 If you wrote that nonsense to get a reaction, then I suppose it worked. Of course, you're entirely wrong and I'm sorry that life has dealt you such terrible blows as to make you feel that way. I will not go into the details here of why you are so wrong, except to say that my life with my beloved wife, and my friend's lives with theirs prove you to be so totally incorrect. Good luck. Love is there. If you sincerely look for it, you will find it and it will find you. "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." Cheers.
^ ^ you said it well" They want a peice of you" So when you are that famous the people take so many peices ....eventually theres nothing left. RIP. James Marshall Hendrix! VVxx
She killed him. And his manager. The two murdered him. He was asleep on sleepin pills...they held his nose pushin more pills down his throat with wine and drowning him. Thats why the about of wine in his stomach didnt match his blood alcohol level at the autopsy...she admitted it on her deathbed. Its not a conspiracy
BS U git married & refuse 2 pay ur taxez. If ur lucky, u'll lose ur wife & go 2 prison. If ur unlucky, u, will die, after u watch ur wife & children die & serve 20 yearz n prison. Jimi did equivalentz. Had tax debtz, which would open his managerz crooked bookz up 4 public scrutiny. Tax issuez bcause of versionz of STAR SPANGLED BANNER & MACHINE GUN, n concert.
I think he may have had bpd, which is basically massive fear of abandonment bc he was so neglected very young. Sometimes bpd is noticed bc it’s like amber heard type but other types are quiet and inward. Sometimes when men are very talented and shy people don’t see it, also he was really young, but he would have had a hard time with attachment.
I lived next door to this beautiful old lady in Hawaii who’s story was she was Dolly from Dolly’s Dagger… she lived with him in Maui and had never left the islands.
I worked hard to become an MD. Once I was near and especially once I had the MD, almost all who express interest were just seeing the "MD" and not me. Luckily I found my wife now of 28 years. My interest was piqued when I asked why she did not answer my calls back then as a resident - she told me her Dad told her not to date doctors. JACKPOT!!!
Jimi strikes me as an autistic savant. He was born fundamentally different from other people, extremely sensitive, highly intelligent and he overcompensated for his insecurities with vast accomplishments. Jimi created for himself an overthetop stage presence and public personality that was essentially a mask. It was nothing like the very sensitive and vulnerable person inside.
@@davisworth5114 Why is that? Mozart was likely autistic. Vincent Van Gogh, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Nicola Tesla are all considered likely to be autistic. Neil Young is even diagnosed with Asperger's. Autism is involved with some of the greatest achievements of mankind. It also presents some real interpersonal challenges.
He had manic depression and social anxiety. I don’t know if you can call it being on the autism spectrum. I don’t think it’s possible to be that downright outstanding without being really mentally strange. And even as prophetic as Jimi was he saw himself as no better than anyone, just gifted.
@@futurereflections4097 Bipolar Disorder(manic depression) and social anxiety are both very common components of Asperger's. CPTSD is also a very common component and 'masking' to conceal autistic traits is the classic defense mechanism. Gifts in one area of interest to compensate for deficits in other areas is not uncommon along with great attention to detail. Autistics are often quite innocent, sensitive and vulnerable to manipulation. I'm not saying Jimi Hendrix was autistic but he had many traits that are consistent autism. There is no way of knowing with certainty. I identify a great deal with his artistic expression regardless.
Hendrix's net worth at the time of his death in 1970 was approximately $80 million ($175 million by 2023). Mr. Braun uses hyperbolic language when he describes Hendrix as a "billionaire."
“Why does that make you sad?” Seriously? Someone’s using you only to boast, and not on a deep soulful level, and you don’t see what’s wrong with that? He was a deeply spiritual cat, half Native American to be exact. If you can’t comprehend it, you lack some serious depth, dude…..
Johnny Depp same problem. Money and Status are what evolutionary biology has caused women to mate for. It's all about 1) how much resources you have, and 2) how high you are in the social hierarchy. HYPERGAMY. Hate the game. Not the player. Mother Nature did this.
Was there a rockstar from that or any other era that didn’t have women lining up to sleep with them? Is this a big expose? Star f*ckng has been a thing since the beginning of human history. Everyone wants a piece of them, including articles of clothing or anything they can get their hands on. I love watching interviews like this about Jimi’s life but this one was pretty light on content. We know from other interviews that Jimi was a shy man and a gentleman. I imagine that this behavior extended to the women he hooked up with. Not something you can say about some other rockstars.
I think the whole point of this speech was Michael Braun talking about he felt how lonely Jimi was, you know. All he ever wanted was someone who can see him equally as a human being, as “just Jimi”, not someone who worships him as a “god of guitar” or something like that. He stated in one of his interviews that he hated fame, I think this is one of the reasons. To him, he just wanna be a normal guy who loves making musics, and fame distracted him.
There were people like Bebe Buell or whoever liv Tyler's mom is and she was like with so many different rock guys i don't know how she could keep that up
Well if we listen to his musician friends we know Jimi was drugged most of the his adult life and would be up for days at a time taking enough drugs to kill an elephant. No chance of ‘long term’ solid relationships living like that. Chaotic life…and all that goes with it.
In Saint Pete there was Ermatinger’s clothing store, and in Tampa was a rich hippie clothing store on Kennedy Blvd just passed the University of Tampa.
Jimi lived the life God intended! He showed everyone what being an artist and a hippie in the 60s was like! It was a time of wild and free love! He spearheaded a culture that counteracts the norms of society like being a conservative authoritarian! He used music to spread a culture of peace and love to stand up against hate and war! Society changed a lot in the 60s, and it still lives today! Protesting, environmentalism, and drug use are all because of what the 60s started!
That’s why he got Billy Cox to come on the road with him probably. Billy was also a sick bass player and a big part of the Band of Gypsys sound which is my favorite of Hendrix’s work
Hi, he mentions the "Sadness" Jimi had. I started playing guitar out 14, on call for about 6 bands, when they saw their guitar player could no play because of drinking or buzzed. i got a call to be ready day before. At 15, we rehearsed in a strip joint, girls would come in early and prefer us to the "Juke Box", no DJs yet, about 1976. At 15, girls would drag me into bathroom because i used to bounce around a big junk of Hash all the time. My buds all thought i was getting lucky........all i did was let them get dressed and rolled a big joints. Nothing else, everyone thinking you are scoring every weekend, could not get a "real girl" to talk to. What everyone thinks is not easy to talk them out of it. Didn't have 3rd base till i got married..........never even tried, because everyone thought....what they thought. Sad but funny is life. Be well.
Local people say "you're our next Jimi hendricks" but just because they say that, I won't play guitar publically. I'm always imaged after somebody other than myself. Always.
Jimi was a great guitar player, song writer, etc… That’s who Jimi was… And I’m sure Jimi felt that way too.., Who is this guy to say what Jimi was thinking?
I think jimi’s fashion designer that actually saw him in the flesh in that time period would have just a bit more creditability than someone who only knows him from his music.
@@J_Ritz He didn’t know what Jimi was thinking… In psychology that’s a cognitive distortion called mind reading. That’s like me meeting you and then saying in an interview an hr later… “Yea, he’s very shy person and doesn’t really like bright colors, and loves salads”
I can't understand why this should be hard to understand. He was being used the same way women are often used. No one likes that. Male or female. Especially not when its because you're rich or famous, and their stealing your clothes on top of it... It's shallow and meaningless and insulting to you as a person. What about the person inside... not just the image?
It's so sad the way he was treated and taken advantage of. He was a very shy, sensitive guy. Those groupies were very aggressive, I'm sure. Jimi was a people pleaser, but should have done more to please himself.
Jimi just wanted to be loved for who he was as a person, not for what he was or what he had. The money and notoriety was what the girls were interested in, and getting their piece of Jimi. This was not about relationships at all. It was about casual sex and getting what you could lay your hands on. For the girls it was a case of you get my body, but I get your shirt........wham bam thank you mam, and goodbye. That is why Jimi's wardrobe was being so rapidly depleted.
A word of caution here. When Jimi arrived in LA with the Experience (Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell) in 1968, the groupies I knew were all in love with Noel Redding and passed Jimi by. I don't know how widespread this preference was but Noel obviously reaped the benefits.
I agree, lots of misinformation here, I'm sure he got plenty but guy seems to exaggerate the shit out of things, I'm sure girls did steal his belongings though, and back then interracial sex was way more taboo than today, and Jimi was conflicted with himself about playing certain things, either because of the perception of his music being too white, and fronted by a black man, or music not being black enough and accepted by the black community because it was rock.
I like Paul McCartney's attitude better. When asked about the problems of being famous he just says "If you wanted to be famous, then you can't complain when you get it".
Such an incredible beautiful soul to say the least. Rest with the higher beings. See beyond those eyes, beyond his great talent. His brief life on earth started sad and ended very sad. May James Marshall Hendrix continue his spiritual journey in immense bliss.
Jimi was being robbed since day one. He had to beg his manager Mike for pocket cash on a daily basis, He did this with women in tow. Luckily, his manager who had him killed, suffered in a plane crash in 1973.
Godzilla and Thing and Lurch out of The Addams Family went through exactly the same thing in the 60s. The chicks had no interest in them as individuals.
Faye was a stunning beauty. Kathy had finely chiseled beauty. Unsure if I've ever seen Colette; Devin was a beautiful girl as well. Jimi appreciated beauty, certainly.
Jimi was abused by his alcoholic party girl mother, he was constantly moved among relatives, he had an extended family who cared about him, but he also grew up impoverished. Jimis' star burned like the sun for a few years, then the night went black. RIP JIMI.
why is he making it bigger then it is nobody's was forced to do anything and jimi this and jimi boohoohoo jimi was a player he held all these relations with girls all over the world he was livin'it up he was a man in his twenties what r u gonna do and he also had a longer lasting relation for 2-3 years in london same with certain people went on for years
Considering the loneliness he experienced growing up, I fully empathize with his emotional state as an adult desiring true intimacy. It must be hard for any person who acquires fame to find someone that loves and adores them for "them". Heck, even as just a nobody it's hard to find this. Poor soul.
In my opinion the only Guy than really find he's soul mate back in The 60s was Jim Morrison and Pamela courson.
Well said, it's pretty hard to find someone who wants the best for you, without being famous, I can't imagine how hard it must be, if you are famous. I also ca imagine that in the beginning its for sure a lot of fun, if almost every woman wants to sleep with you, but after a while I'm pretty sure you will feel a big amount of emptiness in you.

Or a good man.
I've found several, it's not like they're rare
It didn't help he couldn't hold his liquor,and then go upside the women's head,what few that allowed themselves to be considered his woman.
He had a better chance then most of people you could assume
Jimi Hendrix had feelings. May his soul rest in perfect peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
It shows how emotionally aware he was, most men in that situation wouldn't question it
Jimi was just getting started
Not everyone finds their mate in their 20’s
You don’t have to be famous to experience empty sex.
Jimi already had a very close friend in Billy Cox ,they were like brothers, Jimi was 19 when they met in the 101st airborne.
I remember interpreting his struggles with women to be very obvious. . .The live version of a song Stepping Stone was most catchy to me, "I'm a man at least I'm trying to be, I'm looking for that girl to be, but I ain't gone search for nothing desperately".

Exactly! Stepping Stone speaks exactly about the situation Micheal is talking about.
What's saddest is I feel like Jimi never felt... Appreciated as just a human being. Everyone wanted a piece of him for eith financial gain, social gain, personal gain and so on and so on and all of the above... He probably felt used in every single way constantly.

I never heard the girl with the chrome knee pads ….
Jimi had already mastered seduction before he hit the bigtime. Part of it was his surival, on tour and needing a place to crash or be taken care of. The other part was his talent and charisma which was undeniable even pre ‘66. He was a smooth talker and obviously very good looking and charming
I think after he hit it big his chi was drained from too much sex, not enough sleep and not eating right and of course the drugs and alchohal.

Marlon. Spot on also add his last girlfriend Monnika Danneman was extremely jealous of all attention from other ladies shallow superficial and the worst thing possible for Jimi. draining chi energy. She was the opposite of what a good woman could do for a man.
Um the dude wasn’t good looking, charismatic yes,
Smooth talker yes, good looking by what standards or comparison
@@romans003 The proof is in the pudding my man...doesn't matter what you and I think, the women did hahahaha
But being the best guitarist, and writing beautiful songs, was an expression of who he was!!
I fell in love with Jimi's music as a teenager in the 90's, and I read the book written by Chas Chandler & Mitch Mitchell. I loved reading about Jimi's life and his journey from a child in Seattle to the streets of London and beyond. I can't remember the name of the book, but I really enjoyed reading it! Jimi's music still lights me up inside after all these years! RIP Jimi Hendrix, gone way too soon, but never forgotten! ❤❤
The 90s were amazing.
As a teen I went through a 60s phase in the 90s as well, still going through it on most days.
David Gilmour was my knight in shining armor. 🎸
Although he was popularized in the 70s but you get the point.
If Jimi wanted to be perceived as just an every day person & not constantly being put on a pedestal with everyone wanting a piece of him... then why should the guy who does his clothes have to wax particularly profound or philosophical? Jimi probably chose him because he is a simple, straightforward, kind of guy who is not out to impress anyone. I think he says what is needed & answers the interviewers questions just fine.
First off, you need to learn to speak better English. Second, Jimi obviously chose him as his main clothes-maker because he liked the style of the clothes he made…I’m sure the personality was an added bonus, because he wouldn’t have hired him if he was making lackluster clothing, idiot.
Jimi died very young - at the peak of his fame. So yes, it's normal, he enjoyed a lot of attention at this time. We can't formulate any kind of judgment from this.
Age is illusion.Young can be just as effective as 120 years old.It means nothingthose 27 years....see them as a chapter.That 1 was written and therefor done.
Woman dissapointed.They only show for an introverted entity when money and fame stands next to you .he stood next to that mountain,as he loved to chop her down with the ledge of his hand....
He loved only his mother. Therefore, his relationships were doomed.
she dumped him on a doorstep from what i read..she was trouble.
A woman never loves a man, because she is only made to love her child as mothers do. A single young lady is just a trap of nature!
Jimi loved all his family, he always kept in contact with his father.
@@morriypoulsen1238 Actually, he was out of contact with his father for a couple of years. Hendrix and his father didn't have a good relationship.
Girls who love rock stars aren't mainly in it for the money, they fall in love with the character "Jimi" and the life changing music. Jimi "the rockstar" is like no ordinary man, he makes them feel happy, free, powerful and sexual -- they just want to be near him. It's all fantasy, Jimi the man was just human.
Borderline personality types
Have you ever encountered a Sagittarius man or woman who did not have trouble with the opposite sex??? 😂
Spot on mate
Facts. They got too many problems another person don't need. Fire signs period.
Must be a really lonely life, i don't know why people want fame that sounds like hell to me.
I don't know y peephole wanta bring people here. Seemz like Hell, 2 me.
"Why does that make you sad though?!" Dude needs to get laid and doesn't see a reality beyond. Just like people who don't understand how a rich guy can get depressed after he's seen it all. Jimi needed a real emotional connection and all he could get is these vultures, these empty shells. Comparable to only being allowed to get with realistic sex dolls with a speech AI inside. Different people would still enjoy that, and some would get depressed because they need a real person with qualities and flaws.
Do not diminish the hormonal strength of a mid 20's man. Selling music is adversarial.
Like a lot of simple relationships, even like ordering a detailed lunch. An artist with a human life is fine.
cant tell if youre too smart or crazy cause i have no idea what that means
Kathy his girlfriend from England was really caring to him. I loved her book and she fell for Jimi and lived with him in England. She was the real thing. I believe fame changed him a bit and he was so young and having to travel too much but he loved Kathy and wrote "The wind cries Mary " for her. It was crazy when the fame came. He was very sexy and cute.
her name was KATHY , though.
mary, no
@@ryanmozert
Her middle name, iz Mary.
"The wind whispers Kathy" doesn't quite work though.
Thank you for reiterating this. I believe Jimi truly loved her and never got over her.
The real trouble he had with women that you should have exposed, you hack, is his penchant for beating them up.
Who said that? Do you believe that? Even Kathy said that wasn't true, and she's the one in that movie that shows Jimi beating her twice was false. So how can you say this?
@@shable1436 How? Because of all the people who saw it and have gone on the record. Grifters like Kathy, and May Pang, need to protect their abuser's reputation bc their grift depends on it.
@@larryfloyd5111 may pang? She never met Jimi, wtf are you talking about? So Kathy said that never happened, Google it, what record are you talking about?
@@shable1436 May Pang was John Lennon's gf. He once verbally abused her in public but she denies it even though there are witnesses. The point is her and Kathy's identities are tied to their abusers. Also, I'm not going to do your homework for you.
@@larryfloyd5111 I think you're reaching, equating them to wife beaters when they had microscopes on their lives is definitely something that they couldn't get away with. You're a jaded woman who probably has been abused and thus are projecting, I'm sorry if you've been abused in anyway by any man, but calling dead ppl abusers without proof is in bad taste, and character. You're viewing them from a bias POV of 50 years future knowledge, and still using rumours made up. Why don't you call out Elvis, who was known to hit females before, but you seem to have a vendetta, and then I ask proof, yet you don't provide any, but say your not going to do research for me , that's typical rebuff of someone who can't back up their claims.
This guy kinda bugs me. He talks a lot yet says very little.
I had exactly the same thought
Well, you don't have to listen. There's some stuff here. Maybe you aren't listening close enough.
I agree. He just goes on and on but never really makes a point.
really? i loved it. I could listen to him for hours
The host or the guest?
@5:30 “Why would that make him sad tho?”
Put yourself in his shoes. Eating Rice Krispies 6 times a day for the rest of your life is not an appealing life to look forward to.
It made him sad because they didn't want him for the spirit and essence of who he was.. he couldn't be James with them, he had to be Jimi.. the only wanted the facade, the idea of what they thought he was .
As a musician / guitarist myself I can honestly say that everything is true about women going crazy over musicians. As fate would have it at 16 I bought my first electric guitar a Fender strat cream white which, I later found out, was the exact same model Jimmy played at Woodstock. But I digress. I’ve seen how before a gig when chatting to a 9.5 Latina Salsa dancer/bartender girl who had the greatest curves in the world I’m not joking. I’m digressing again lol. But the short of it : She acted bored and uninterested. Now AFTER our show she literally waved me over to where she sat and told the dude who was talking to her to go back to his friends. Yes people once a woman/girl has seen you perform on stage they will chase you down. Hopefully they won’t steal your clothes😂
It's absolutely true
@@jagmarc Yep💯🙌🏽🙌🏽
Sounds like a lot of shallow women. Who wants to meet someone special at a bar
or share her herpes
I think we are all that way. Everyone has the same struggle to feel like they have honest respect
Hendrix had women throwing themselves at him before he was famous, he looked like a god.
Well I’m 17 and 2 years ago I discovered 60’s Brit rock and blues genre and jimi was someone I found intresting after Clapton ( for me Clapton comes first in any list ) so after I liked jimi and his music, I started listening to different different things and *suddenly out of no where I had a dream of a vintage movie type playing where jimi is in a pretty posh and cool house recording with his wife and his child, he is recording his wife and child and they even dance along the poolside and he was talking I don’t know what, this is maybe his life in a alternate reality where he didn’t die in 1970, he is settled and has a beautiful family and son* 😌
Clapton is so overrated, obviously Cream was great (especially because of Baker and Bruce) as well as Derek and the Dominos, but man, even amongst his contemporaries, especially Jeff Beck, his soloing is so pedestrian.
@@dashiellsisson9263 hmm… well I think I have completely opposite way of seeing it, you see he did things while being in cream and John mayall’s blues breakers that inspired a hell lot of people, jimi Hendrix was a Clapton fan, every guy buying Les Paul burst from the 60’s was Clapton fan therefore chasing tone, and rings now the John Mayer is doing sob rock movement that is heavily inspired and sometimes imitated by claptons’s 80’s era…. I think Clapton and cream is underrated compared to led zeppelin, AC/DC, and black sabbath
@@sarthwahb again, I love Cream. And I’m not a huge Zeppelin fan, certainly not an AC/DC fan. My comment is strictly guitar based. Clapton’s soloing, outside of Crossroads, which is cool because he actually uses major & minor pentatonic runs, double stops & outlines the dominant chord, leaves a lot to be desired, even in rock where soloing over changes wasn’t as prevalent back then like it was in jazz and fusion, there were lots of his contemporary blues based/rock guitarists with much tastier solos. It should also be noted that Clapton sounded best with his SG (the fool) or his ES335, his tone was so much darker, richer and cooler when he played Gibson’s with Marshall amplifiers. Hence all of his “woman tone” & wah wah stuff.
@@dashiellsisson9263 yeah right, I researched and found that lot of his cream songs are played on Les Paul which was stolen after a cream rehearsal and then he started borrowing guitars, his tone with the fool sg is great and can be heard in many live and other songs still if we look at guitar based influence than yes he inspired from van halen to Mayer, his solos for strang brew, tales of brave Ulysses, white room, sunshine of your love, n.s.u. And I feel free are something that moved me and actually made me pickup guitar… if anyone asked me who’s my guitar gods then Ima say *1) Eric Clapton 2) Steve Vai 3) Eddie van halen / Jimi Hendrix 4) Jimmy page / Roy Clark*
I hope so🙂
People view Jimi has this guitar god from another planet, but the reality was he was a human an incredibly talented and creative one. I feel like he got taken advantage of a lot. I wish he had closer friends around him..but I heard he was pretty far out. Does anyone know who his best friends were?
Don't think he really had a real "best friends", if anything I'd say it was Billy Cox. He had many friends but from so many accounts it seems Jimi didn't get too close to people... I'm sure Jimi had massive abandonment issues from his childhood and life and fame only made it worst for the reasons Mike is speaking of here.
@@Voodoo66Chile I met Billy Cox , great man, I’ve spoken to his wife as well.
Billy Cox, Paul Caruso, Mitch, Chas, and probably Kathy Etchingham and Devon....oh and Buddy Miles
@@brandonterzicEric Burdon from the Animals
@@roygoad2870 yeah forgot Eric!
I'm in North Nashville and Jimi was here before New York & off to London to become a star and rumors around town is Jimi NEVER had problems with women.
Even before all the fame in all of his shy awkwardness, the ladies were DRAWN to his undeniable presence.
The Truth is, he wasn't just another person, and everyone wants what is Real Success. It's intuitive and instinctive for people to run after that. Your soul and higher mind recognises what is Real, what is True. Thats what Jimi was. He was One in a million or perhaps a Billion.
One of a kind.
The unique, let's be honest one of the sons of God.
Mike Jeffery was the millionaire, not Jimi Hendrix.
But the woman didn't know that.
And the guy who most likely had him killed
Exactly!
Yes, it seems Jimi was attempting to wriggle free of Jeffries, from what I’ve read.
I despise Mike Jeffries … can’t help myself
Hendrix wasn't a billionaire! He was ripped by Michael Jeffries and Jimi died broke!
Jimi's situation was no different to anyone elses. Every relationship is a transaction of some sort. No one is loved for who they really are because it is impossible to perceive someone as they really are. Besides that Jimi knew some fine women and it was his choice to live the way he did. I totally respect his choice too, the standard concept of romance and relationships is a hideous construct which is still poisoned by the hypocrisy and dishonesty of religion which helped form it
You diminishing love with this view. Its a force like waves or sunlight. I don’t think it’s essence is transactional at all, It’s the opposite. If its real love. If it is transactional its not love maybe something else like affection or fascination. You can also have those things in a loving relationship but its got a separate motivation to that of love, it’s a different aspect of the relationship. It’s wrong to confuse the two imo. Love the force is like what a mother feels for her baby. Its pure and cant be completely understand or explained by logic or language.
I don’t think everyone needs to adhere to traditional relationships to be happy but it’s far from a hideous construction. there is a reason that the vast majority of cultures and people throughout time have settled in families with one significant other: it makes life easier, provides emotional support, fulfills most people, and it is the best way to raise children. Religions have taken advantage of people using some of these principles but I believe the origin of these types of relationships goes much deeper than social conditioning.
@@Zombikilla10789 Michael, I agree with most of what you're saying. The origins of what you're talking about probably go back to the cave man days
@@RGZ112 Yeah, even Homo Neanderthalus and Homo Erectus show signs of pair bonding, hard and serial monogamy, so it's much older and deeper than religiousity to pair bond and fall in love with a partner, also because human beings have social relationships as a way of life we love in a more general sense that is not romantic and this is not due to religion or social conditioning but evolution. What social conditioning and religions have done have relied on these instincts and drives for validation of their truth or too try and force the human animal to have broader groups of inclusion and special designations of out classes determined by heirarchies which is also not due to religion, but again evolution.
Yeah definitely not true There is Love without Transction there are two different types of interpersonal relationships real ones and transactional ones that’s it
The women who latched onto Jimi wanted sex and money, or at least the life of having money. Love? Lord above! Now you're tryin' to trick me in love.
He might have been in love, but who was in love with him?
There's no place for love anywhere.
The older I get the more I see that relationships are transactional whether platonic or romantic. There's nothing in anything except what you bring and people will dismiss you or take you on based on that.
There's no love.
@@boblotoldo3051 If you wrote that nonsense to get a reaction, then I suppose it worked. Of course, you're entirely wrong and I'm sorry that life has dealt you such terrible blows as to make you feel that way.
I will not go into the details here of why you are so wrong, except to say that my life with my beloved wife, and my friend's lives with theirs prove you to be so totally incorrect.
Good luck. Love is there. If you sincerely look for it, you will find it and it will find you.

His girlfriend was an accomplice to his murder
Devon and Monica Damn-a-man
You do realize , if he had that one steady relationship, he probably wouldn't had died in 1970 in an apartment with some crazy chick?
She killed him. And his manager. The two murdered him. He was asleep on sleepin pills...they held his nose pushin more pills down his throat with wine and drowning him. Thats why the about of wine in his stomach didnt match his blood alcohol level at the autopsy...she admitted it on her deathbed. Its not a conspiracy
BS

You can say that about kurt cobain...but he died alone supposedly.

You clicked on the video knowing the title... thats on you.
I think he may have had bpd, which is basically massive fear of abandonment bc he was so neglected very young. Sometimes bpd is noticed bc it’s like amber heard type but other types are quiet and inward. Sometimes when men are very talented and shy people don’t see it, also he was really young, but he would have had a hard time with attachment.
What a load of shit you talking, piss off.

I worked hard to become an MD. Once I was near and especially once I had the MD, almost all who express interest were just seeing the "MD" and not me. Luckily I found my wife now of 28 years. My interest was piqued when I asked why she did not answer my calls back then as a resident - she told me her Dad told her not to date doctors. JACKPOT!!!
Jimi strikes me as an autistic savant. He was born fundamentally different from other people, extremely sensitive, highly intelligent and he overcompensated for his insecurities with vast accomplishments. Jimi created for himself an overthetop stage presence and public personality that was essentially a mask. It was nothing like the very sensitive and vulnerable person inside.
as an autist, these stories resonate with me. at this point im pretty sure jimi was on the spectrum
not a chance!
@@davisworth5114 Why is that? Mozart was likely autistic. Vincent Van Gogh, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Nicola Tesla are all considered likely to be autistic. Neil Young is even diagnosed with Asperger's. Autism is involved with some of the greatest achievements of mankind. It also presents some real interpersonal challenges.
He had manic depression and social anxiety. I don’t know if you can call it being on the autism spectrum. I don’t think it’s possible to be that downright outstanding without being really mentally strange.
And even as prophetic as Jimi was he saw himself as no better than anyone, just gifted.
@@futurereflections4097 Bipolar Disorder(manic depression) and social anxiety are both very common components of Asperger's. CPTSD is also a very common component and 'masking' to conceal autistic traits is the classic defense mechanism. Gifts in one area of interest to compensate for deficits in other areas is not uncommon along with great attention to detail. Autistics are often quite innocent, sensitive and vulnerable to manipulation. I'm not saying Jimi Hendrix was autistic but he had many traits that are consistent autism. There is no way of knowing with certainty. I identify a great deal with his artistic expression regardless.
Hendrix's net worth at the time of his death in 1970 was approximately $80 million ($175 million by 2023). Mr. Braun uses hyperbolic language when he describes Hendrix as a "billionaire."
Grandma who did these pink sequinned trousers belong to.😂
“Why does that make you sad?” Seriously? Someone’s using you only to boast, and not on a deep soulful level, and you don’t see what’s wrong with that? He was a deeply spiritual cat, half Native American to be exact. If you can’t comprehend it, you lack some serious depth, dude…..
Johnny Depp same problem.

Amy Whinehouse's album Back to Black really seems to fly in the face of this theory..
Was there a rockstar from that or any other era that didn’t have women lining up to sleep with them? Is this a big expose? Star f*ckng has been a thing since the beginning of human history. Everyone wants a piece of them, including articles of clothing or anything they can get their hands on. I love watching interviews like this about Jimi’s life but this one was pretty light on content. We know from other interviews that Jimi was a shy man and a gentleman. I imagine that this behavior extended to the women he hooked up with. Not something you can say about some other rockstars.
I think the whole point of this speech was Michael Braun talking about he felt how lonely Jimi was, you know.
All he ever wanted was someone who can see him equally as a human being, as “just Jimi”, not someone who worships him as a “god of guitar” or something like that. He stated in one of his interviews that he hated fame, I think this is one of the reasons.
To him, he just wanna be a normal guy who loves making musics, and fame distracted him.
There were people like Bebe Buell or whoever liv Tyler's mom is and she was like with so many different rock guys i don't know how she could keep that up
Well if we listen to his musician friends we know Jimi was drugged most of the his adult life and would be up for days at a time taking enough drugs to kill an elephant. No chance of ‘long term’ solid relationships living like that. Chaotic life…and all that goes with it.
Just needed a little more time.
In Saint Pete there was Ermatinger’s clothing store, and in Tampa was a rich hippie clothing store on Kennedy Blvd just passed the University of Tampa.
I mean being the best guitarist and famous is really who he was and l think separating him from his craft is almost impossible
I loved Jimi the man, not the rockstar. All of that was nice but I look at him for his soul, his way, his uniqueness and rareness. ❤❤❤❤
Jimi lived the life God intended! He showed everyone what being an artist and a hippie in the 60s was like! It was a time of wild and free love! He spearheaded a culture that counteracts the norms of society like being a conservative authoritarian! He used music to spread a culture of peace and love to stand up against hate and war! Society changed a lot in the 60s, and it still lives today! Protesting, environmentalism, and drug use are all because of what the 60s started!
Where's the rest of the interview ?? - it's cut off just when he started to delve more deeply
Plus he void of a mother's love, so he searched for it in the women he dated..
Not much luck there I’m afraid
Your old friends from home might be able to be real with you, after you become crazy famous.
That’s why he got Billy Cox to come on the road with him probably. Billy was also a sick bass player and a big part of the Band of Gypsys sound which is my favorite of Hendrix’s work
@@kevindecamp9087
it's my favorite too 🙂
Hi, he mentions the "Sadness" Jimi had. I started playing guitar out 14, on call for about 6 bands, when they saw their guitar player could no play because of drinking or buzzed. i got a call to be ready day before. At 15, we rehearsed in a strip joint, girls would come in early and prefer us to the "Juke Box", no DJs yet, about 1976. At 15, girls would drag me into bathroom because i used to bounce around a big junk of Hash all the time. My buds all thought i was getting lucky........all i did was let them get dressed and rolled a big joints. Nothing else, everyone thinking you are scoring every weekend, could not get a "real girl" to talk to. What everyone thinks is not easy to talk them out of it. Didn't have 3rd base till i got married..........never even tried, because everyone thought....what they thought. Sad but funny is life. Be well.
Local people say "you're our next Jimi hendricks" but just because they say that, I won't play guitar publically. I'm always imaged after somebody other than myself. Always.
"The Blues aint nothin but a good man feeling bad."
Jimi was a great guitar player, song writer, etc… That’s who Jimi was… And I’m sure Jimi felt that way too.., Who is this guy to say what Jimi was thinking?
I think jimi’s fashion designer that actually saw him in the flesh in that time period would have just a bit more creditability than someone who only knows him from his music.
@@J_Ritz He didn’t know what Jimi was thinking… In psychology that’s a cognitive distortion called mind reading. That’s like me meeting you and then saying in an interview an hr later… “Yea, he’s very shy person and doesn’t really like bright colors, and loves salads”
nsc217 well you wouldn’t be wrong whatsoever, valid point.
I certainly don’t have an “elevated mind” like JImi, so I don’t think I could really understand him… it’s fun trying.
Who has not troubles with women?
I can't understand why this should be hard to understand. He was being used the same way women are often used. No one likes that. Male or female. Especially not when its because you're rich or famous, and their stealing your clothes on top of it... It's shallow and meaningless and insulting to you as a person. What about the person inside... not just the image?
It's so sad the way he was treated and taken advantage of. He was a very shy, sensitive guy. Those groupies were very aggressive, I'm sure. Jimi was a people pleaser, but should have done more to please himself.
Jimi just wanted to be loved for who he was as a person, not for what he was or what he had. The money and notoriety was what the girls were interested in, and getting their piece of Jimi. This was not about relationships at all. It was about casual sex and getting what you could lay your hands on. For the girls it was a case of you get my body, but I get your shirt........wham bam thank you mam, and goodbye. That is why Jimi's wardrobe was being so rapidly depleted.
Why would it make him sad? Same way using a woman for sex would make a her sad. It’s using people for your own gain.
A word of caution here. When Jimi arrived in LA with the Experience (Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell) in 1968, the groupies I knew were all in love with Noel Redding and passed Jimi by. I don't know how widespread this preference was but Noel obviously reaped the benefits.
I agree, lots of misinformation here, I'm sure he got plenty but guy seems to exaggerate the shit out of things, I'm sure girls did steal his belongings though, and back then interracial sex was way more taboo than today, and Jimi was conflicted with himself about playing certain things, either because of the perception of his music being too white, and fronted by a black man, or music not being black enough and accepted by the black community because it was rock.
@@shable1436 Yes, I'm sure, all of that.
Noel? He looked like an old English lady.
@@steveinmidtown They thought Noel was pretty. These were very young girls. Jimi was much more of an older man.
I like Paul McCartney's attitude better. When asked about the problems of being famous he just says "If you wanted to be famous, then you can't complain when you get it".
And women complained of being used.

Jimi was being robbed since day one. He had to beg his manager Mike for pocket cash on a daily basis, He did this with women in tow. Luckily, his manager who had him killed, suffered in a plane crash in 1973.
Hendrix didn't even write his own lyrics.
Based on what?
Good stuff!

The sequel to this will be: Every guy's trouble with women
It made him sad because people always want what they Don't Have.
why is he making it bigger then it is nobody's was forced to do anything and jimi this and jimi boohoohoo

what r u gonna do and he also had a longer lasting relation for 2-3 years in london same with certain people
went on for years

Fuck no
the idea of being used by someone hurts and is not good for business or ego.
Honestly thats show businesses for you most people don't actually love A-List celebrities as a person just their status. Fame and money
