@@kabirconsiders yep, it’s a cover! One of the best, if not the best, cover of all time. He took what was already a great song in itself and transformed it into...well this
I've watched a few of these Hendrix reactions and everyone responds very emotionally. It's visceral! It's obvious Jimi's guitar strings pull hard on the heart strings and this is no accident. This is the mark of a true MUSICIAN and not just a technical magician with a bag of guitar gimmicks. Jimi had it all - the technical chops, the understanding of sound and the technology of his time, the jaw dropping showmanship and the man INVENTED the modern way of playing the electric guitar -which we take for granted now - just so he could have a palette to express his absolutely unique ideas BUT most important and most timeless was his artistry which is evident in the way you FEEL when you hear him play. Jimi isn't just the greatest rock guitarist ever, he is more than that, he is a once in a generation artist and one of the greatest and most important musicians to ever walk the planet.
WOW!! Couldn't agree more!! I cried like a Baby the day Jimi kissed the sky!! Saw him play 2 shows in Norman Oklahoma.. It was May 8, 1970 at the old Sooner Fieldhouse. His backup Band was Bloodrock!! You know, the guys who did the song DOA.... May have given a clue as to how elderly I am. I was drafted 4 months later. I soon got a free vacation to S.E. Asia..... You never know what's coming for ya!
Jimi was American, but he got his big break in the UK. He was found by one of The Animals, Chas Chandler. You should watch Jimi's performance of the Star Spangled Banner.
Yes but credit should be given to Linda Keith, she was the one noticing his potential first and trying to get Jimi signed and she invited Chas Chandler to check him out.
Having grown up in the 70s, I think we appreciate the "no autotune; real instruments " a lot more now than we did then. And such a plethora of great artists from 60s, 70s, and 80s!
I hate this viewpoint of how it’s not a real instrument if it’s being modified Jimi Hendrix was one of the first guitarists to actually seriously use guitar pedals which at the time many guitarists believed was a gimmick
Although written and originally recorded by Bob Dylan, this IS the definitive version of the song! The most iconic and influential guitarist of the the Rock Era. My favoeite Hendrix song is "Red House."
THANK YOU SO MUCH for reacting to this! 😃 Jimi is one of my FAVORITE artists, and this is for sure my favorite song by him. Another awesome video, keep up the great work. Much love from Jimi's home state of Washington. 😃🤘
Jimi got his first electric guitar when he was 15 years of age because his family was dirt , dirt poor. but 10 years later at the age of 25 he headlined Monterey Music Festival as well as subsequently headlining the Woodstock before the audience of 250,000 people. Also he served in the Army for two years before being discharged from the Airborne due to medical complications. never could afford guitar lessons but self taught .... talk about being born w/ it. oh btw, before he got his 1st guitar which was a used acoustic one at 11 years of age he used to strum the broom as if that was a guitar so his pops bought him that first acoustic on a lay-away ... unbelievable story!
My dad tried to teach me this song on acoustic when I was maybe 5? I still remember the blisters. Hendrix and Van Halen are IMO the greatest American guitarists.
Oh he was damn good, hearing him as a 13 yo just got what he was singing and man did he kill it on GUITAR. Just thing if he lived longer and what could have been more great music. A old bloke here 63 and miss all the great music. Back in my day we never looked at what color someone's skin was it was Music Love and just man get it.
As much as I mourn the loss of Freddie Mercury, if I could bring back one musician who died too soon, it'd be Jimi Hendrix. If for no other reason than just to see how much he could revolutionize the guitar as an instrument. We already know how much he did in less than 5 years of mainstream success. Imagine what even one more decade could have led to in terms of rock music.
one of the guitar goats for sure. Grew up loving this music long before I ever understood the meaning of his lyrics. and the forever 27 club is not just musicians and it's them dying at 27 because a lot of famous people have died at 27, writers, actors included even some sport athletes.
@@kabirconsiders What short time of his life . He made London his home base in 68 but would overdose in London just as I was starting freshman in college Sept 1970.
As a teenager I watched him in concert in Portland, OR - sold out of course - and no one left after curtain calls, so they finally turned off all the power. This was early days of the electric guitar and he could make that thing sing by itself
Fun fact: This song was originally written and preformed by Bob Dylan, a legendary songwriter, who after hearing Jimi's cover was so impressed he just.. gave him the song.. Edit: Maybe I should read down in the comments a bit before commenting on older videos.. I see this was already mentioned lol
,React to "Jimmy Hendrix Purple Haze". My college football team runs out of the tunnel and on to the field to this song its awesome !! Our colors are purple/gold and we are the Pirates of ECU 🏴☠️ 🏈
Jimi was a ahead of his time and had a huge impact on music. Yes, he is a member of the 27 club. Jimi does a beautiful version of the American star spangled banner (Our national anthem) live at Woodstock. Could you check out bob Marley's redemption song, Buffalo soldier, or no woman no cry. Another "chill" band popular in the 90's was sublime one of my favorites is April 29, 1992 and a song called Badfish. Thanks Kabir
Been a Jimi fan since 1969. You reacted totally authentic, cause you "get it". When you said he transported you, that is the whole point. Jimi was a Magician, not a musician. Very few people get this secret. His mission was to transport people to a higher level of their mind and Soul. This is why he was pure Magic. Very few artists in history were capable of that or even had that Intention. He wore the symbol of the Sun around his neck, cause he is a Shinning One. No one like him, before him or after. Thanks for this one. React to Voodoo Child Slight Return, but only off the Electric Ladyland album audio. Very few have reacted to the Original, which believe me will lift the top of your head off. 😳🤣🤣 Hendrix the Magician🧙♂️
Loved the reaction. Jimi is without question a GOAT of guitar players. Just an absolute legend. Please react to some Tool next. I’d love to see 46 & 2 or Stinkfist or Sober.
Another great cover tune that you should give a listen to is Aretha Franklin's version of, 'RESPECT'. It was originally written & recorded by Otis Redding, but he said that Aretha made it her own.
Another ✔ . I was a sophomore 25 miles south of Jimi growing up listening to him. His Statue is on Broadway across from the college if your ever this way.
Congratulations, you just reacted to what IMHO is one of the greatest songs ever recorded! Even Bob Dylan, who wrote the song basically conceded Hendrix's cover is the best version . He changed the way he played it from then on and said it was like playing a tribute to Jimi Hendrix!
My all time favorite Hendrix song. Written by Bob Dylan, (Nobel Laureate of literature) as per a BBC documentary, it has passages from the Bible included in the song lyrics- go figure! Jimi Hendrix is the GOAT.
You should try Little wing, Castles made of sand, May this be love and Voodoo Child. These are some awesome tracks. No other guitarist is even in the same building as Jimi Hendrix! He was truly one of a kind.
He had to go to London UK to really be heard and exposed to the public....America wasnt ready for him at the time..but he came back to a victorious homecoming and crowned a Guitar God even to this very day...The rest is history...
Jimi Hendrix's legacy is like Ayrton Senna's legacy in F1- because both died at the top of their game, they're almost deified. Yes, Hendrix was revolutionary for his time, and Senna was among the best behind the wheel in his time, but you have to admit that them dying at the top of their game adds to their legacy.
I’m in gen z and Jimi hendrix has definitely leaked into our generation his music is time less. But I was forced to listen to him from a young because of my dads taste in music and now I love 70s and 80s music. And also I think he used to play the guitar with his teeth definitely watch a vid on that in your own time if you can
The absolute best version of this song is by Dave Matthews Band at their Central Park concert, and I’m not even a fan of DMB. But you should definitely check it out. It’s an amazing groove.
Of all Jimi’s music that I’ve heard, which is far from all, my favorite is Machine Gun, Live at Fillmore East. No video, but omg his guitar is not from this world. Thanks and good luck!
If I remember correctly this was Jimi’s only number 1 at the time and it was written by Bob Dylan.... and jimi is a member of the 27 club along with Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain etc....
A learned music critic described the 3 solos (I count 3 plus 2 mini one at the start and end ) as: If any other guitar player did even one of them it be his life musical achievement
Obviously Bob Dylan wrote the song and recorded it so it's a cover for Jimi Hendrix Bob Dylan songs have been covered over 5000 times by other artists he won the Nobel Peace Prize for literature in 2016 the Nobel Committee in Sweden said he changed a generation with his music and he did
The guys a musical genius, check out Foxy Lady Live, he’s wearing a white shirt and a rimmed hat, and Hey Joe Live colour version, love your reaction channel, your genuine and not go on all stupid, keep going Kabir!!!, 👊🏻
Kurt Cobain,Jimi Hendrix, Amy Winehouse,Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison are some 27 club members i can remember but now it seems the 20 and 21 club get more artist so sad so young btw you should react to Danny Phantom by Trippie Redd featuring XXXTENTACION song came out watch the music video ngl the ending will get you
Jimi also played bass on this song. Bass player Noel Redding had left the group during the recording sessions of the Electric Ladyland double album. In fact, Jimi played the bass on many songs from that album.
Don't forget Brian Jones who discovered the the Rolling Stones and got them together and also Janis Joplin possibly the best female blues singer ever as well as Jim Morrison from the doors
Also very rare reactions too are, " If 6 was 9 ", on Axis : Bold as Love. If you react to this one I will tell you the Real story behind the meaning of the song, that only some people of that era understood, cause Jimi was writing in Code. And whoever reads my explanation will be lucky to know. I'm not blowing my horn, I'm telling Truth. Next one, the Song representing the Album Axis: Bold as Love, of coarse named Bold as Love. Imo the outro solo is the Greatest guitar solo of our time. It will take you to the Stratosphere, and you won't want to come down. If you do this one, I'll tell you the secret behind what the album cover is hiding, and it's monumental.🙏💗🌅🌬️ " Fly on Little Wing ", that's another absolute gem you should do, off of Axis Bold as Love, " Little Wing ". Always do the original tracks off the album, not live. Believe me, the albums meant the most to Jimi. Live was for people who were there, because they were Transported👏👏👏✌️
Try these videos on You Tube: Jimi Hendrix, Johnny B Goode, Berkeley. Chuck Berry, who wrote the song, said of Jimi's performance that he quote, 'Played the absolute crap out of the song.' Sure did!! Sort of like a cross between a guitar, a song called Johnny B Goode, an express train going at full tilt, and Hendrix. Too incredible for words. You have to see it to believe that that is possible on a guitar. Then try Jimi Hendrix, Lulu Show, Full Version (Cream tribute). Jimi over ran the TV time slot, and upset Lulu by changing mid Hey Joe to do a tribute to Cream who broke up on that very day. Lulu could not do her customary sing along. That meant that Jimi was never invited back onto the Lulu Show again. Know the song Sunshine of Your Love? Ever heard a guitar sing the words? Well when you watch that you will have! You will have witnessed Jimi actually make a guitar talk!! Plus a little added bonus at the end that is equally incredible to show the full capabilities of not just Jimi, but his support artists, Mitch Mitchell on drums, and Noel Redding on bass in The Jimi Hendrix Experience. They too were superlative artists. I will not spoil it for you. Just watch this. Seeing is believing. Additionally watch any of the Hey Joe renditions by Hendrix on You Tube. You again will be amazed. No spoilers. The greatest guitarist that ever lived? CONFIRMED. I saw Jimi more than once, and at Regents Polytechnic in London when he played in the UK for the first time, jamming with Cream. Up to that point many others thought they were Guitar God. But when Clapton saw Jimi play Howlin' Wolfs Killing Floor, he knew the jig was up. THIS WAS GUITAR GOD HIMSELF. Even Jeff Beck of The Yardbirds was wondering whether he should give it up and become a postman! Yet Jimi was a Clapton disciple, and was not selfish, being prepared to share his gift with others. Jeff said hey, this man is open, I can learn from him, and was well pleased with Jimi not just as an artist, but his entire attitude. Jimi is the real deal. SRV, Page etc? All others are great guitarists, but just his disciples. A lot is made of SRV, but SRV had only just joined a band when Jimi died. Jimi had done everything SRV did a long time before. Jimi is GUITAR GOD!!!! Nobody back then or since his death has been able to touch him musically or creatively. Once you have seen these videos you will begin to understand why old farts like me are so disgruntled with the music of today. With kids walking around with instruments like fashion accessories, and no idea whatsoever how to play them. Strewth! Back then we were surrounded by music like Jimi's constantly, and by artists who knew their instruments and how to play them intimately........The Kinks, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, The Monkeys, The Beatles, Steppenwolf, the whole of Motown etc etc etc. Absolutely surrounded by quality music. Do you blame us for being disgruntled? You wanna know about Jimi Hendrix. Ask!
It’s insane that he was that good and is playing a right handed guitar upside down cause when he began he couldn’t afford a left handed guitar and could only get one for right handers. Would he have been even better with the proper equipment for being left handed? Or does it just add to the crazy things he could make an instrument do that no one else could?
Yeah Jimis version is so much better than Dylans but Im also not a Dylan fan cause he mumbles too much in his songs. He sings like Ozzy talks, a bunch of incoherent gibberish lol. Still waiting on you to hear some Black Sabbath for your next rock video 😁

Bob Dylan actually wrote this song, but when he heard Jimi’s version, he just admitted that it was Jimi’s song now
No way! So this was a cover?! He absolutely nailed this
@@kabirconsiders yep, it’s a cover! One of the best, if not the best, cover of all time. He took what was already a great song in itself and transformed it into...well this
Jimi was a big fan of Bob Dylan.
@@kabirconsiders Hey Joe was also a cover.
Some covers are so good that they are basically a new song.
“If 6 was 9”, “Castles made of Sand” and “I don’t live today” are my top three Hendrix songs……with so many others that are just as good.
Rainy Day Dream Away would round out my top 4.
Axis Bold As Love would be next..
Another Seattle legend. They play this before kickoff at Sounders home matches.
Got to visit his grave in Renton gave me chills lol
I'm old enough and fortunate enough to have seen Hendrix live twice.
Oh wow, where?

Time and time again I wonder how much more impact on the world of music the members of the 27 club would have had if only they lived longer.

To start, there's Jimi at the BBC 1967
Please react to purple Haze by him!
Try these videos on You Tube: Jimi Hendrix, Johnny B Goode, Berkeley. Chuck Berry, who wrote the song, said of Jimi's performance that he quote, 'Played the absolute crap out of the song.' Sure did!! Sort of like a cross between a guitar, a song called Johnny B Goode, an express train going at full tilt, and Hendrix. Too incredible for words. You have to see it to believe that that is possible on a guitar. Then try Jimi Hendrix, Lulu Show, Full Version (Cream tribute). Jimi over ran the TV time slot, and upset Lulu by changing mid Hey Joe to do a tribute to Cream who broke up on that very day. Lulu could not do her customary sing along. That meant that Jimi was never invited back onto the Lulu Show again. Know the song Sunshine of Your Love? Ever heard a guitar sing the words? Well when you watch that you will have! You will have witnessed Jimi actually make a guitar talk!! Plus a little added bonus at the end that is equally incredible to show the full capabilities of not just Jimi, but his support artists, Mitch Mitchell on drums, and Noel Redding on bass in The Jimi Hendrix Experience. They too were superlative artists. I will not spoil it for you. Just watch this. Seeing is believing. Additionally watch any of the Hey Joe renditions by Hendrix on You Tube. You again will be amazed. No spoilers. The greatest guitarist that ever lived? CONFIRMED. I saw Jimi more than once, and at Regents Polytechnic in London when he played in the UK for the first time, jamming with Cream. Up to that point many others thought they were Guitar God. But when Clapton saw Jimi play Howlin' Wolfs Killing Floor, he knew the jig was up. THIS WAS GUITAR GOD HIMSELF. Even Jeff Beck of The Yardbirds was wondering whether he should give it up and become a postman! Yet Jimi was a Clapton disciple, and was not selfish, being prepared to share his gift with others. Jeff said hey, this man is open, I can learn from him, and was well pleased with Jimi not just as an artist, but his entire attitude. Jimi is the real deal. SRV, Page etc? All others are great guitarists, but just his disciples. A lot is made of SRV, but SRV had only just joined a band when Jimi died. Jimi had done everything SRV did a long time before. Jimi is GUITAR GOD!!!! Nobody back then or since his death has been able to touch him musically or creatively. Once you have seen these videos you will begin to understand why old farts like me are so disgruntled with the music of today. With kids walking around with instruments like fashion accessories, and no idea whatsoever how to play them. Strewth! Back then we were surrounded by music like Jimi's constantly, and by artists who knew their instruments and how to play them intimately........The Kinks, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, The Monkeys, The Beatles, Steppenwolf, the whole of Motown etc etc etc. Absolutely surrounded by quality music. Do you blame us for being disgruntled? You wanna know about Jimi Hendrix. Ask!
National Anthem bye jimi hendrix
Listen to his version of The Star Spangled Banner. Played at Woodstock
This is the first vid I didnt try to sync . I shut my eyes and listened.
Advanced level, expert....no......the word you're looking for is genius - guitar genius.
Way past "expert." The man's guitar was connected directly to his soul.
Yeah that guitar was another limb. Fully connected it and a full extension of himself. I saw that in EVH too.
Solid choice to review ☺️. Such a brilliant musician and yes part of the 27 club unfortunately 😔.
Gone way too soon! 🕊
It’s insane that he was that good and is playing a right handed guitar upside down cause when he began he couldn’t afford a left handed guitar and could only get one for right handers. Would he have been even better with the proper equipment for being left handed? Or does it just add to the crazy things he could make an instrument do that no one else could?
A song I love no matter who plays it. I believe Dylan was the 1st.
Yeah Jimis version is so much better than Dylans but Im also not a Dylan fan cause he mumbles too much in his songs. He sings like Ozzy talks, a bunch of incoherent gibberish lol. Still waiting on you to hear some Black Sabbath for your next rock video 😁
Janis Joplin live "Ball and Chain" is now a must after Jimi Hendrix.
Reach to Jimi’s Star-Spangled Banner. It is chilling
27 club Jimi Hendrix - Jim Morrison - Janis Joplin - Kurt Cobain - Otis Redding - Amy Whitehouse , to name a few.....
