Jimi Quotes

Who I am as a guitarist is defined by my failure to become Jimi Hendrix Picture Quote #1

I ended up spending some time with Jimi Hendrix and hanging out with him, and that was beyond awesome Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I invented rock and roll. Jimi Hendrix was my guitar player. James Brown was my vocalist Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Since I was seventeen I thought I might be a star. I’d think about all my heroes, Charlie Parker, Jimi Hendrix... I had a romantic feeling about how these people became famous Picture Quote #1

There are people who are great technical players like Eric Clapton, and there are people who are great intuitive songwriters like Daniel Johnston. There are sometimes people who are great at both the technique and the creativity, the two sides of the coin, maybe Jimi Hendrix Picture Quote #1

The Marshall guitar amplifier doesn’t just get louder when you turn it up. It distorts the sound to produce a whole range of new harmonics, effectively turning a plucked string instrument into a bowed one. A responsible designer might try to overcome this limitation - probably the engineers at Marshall tried, too. But that sound became the sound of, among others, Jimi Hendrix. That sound is called electric guitar Picture Quote #1

Stop saying drug use makes people lazy. Jimi Hendrix did a lot of drugs, even though he’s been dead for forty years, he’s still making new records. Suck on that, Partnership for a Drug-Free America! Picture Quote #1

I liked a lot of the things other people liked - Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Van Halen, AC/DC - but if I compared it to my dad’s music, there just seemed to be elements missing Picture Quote #1

I don’t think Jimi committed suicide in the conventional way. He just decided to exit when he wanted to Picture Quote #1

As far as rock groups, I really like Stone Temple Pilots. As for classical composers, it’s Bach. I love Paganini, too, the Italian composer who would break strings during a performance and finish playing on just one string. Someone I would have loved to play with is Jimi Hendrix Picture Quote #1

I was very friendly with Jimi Hendrix because my boyfriend at the time, Tommy Weber, was making a film about him, so I would go to all of his shows Picture Quote #1

The road has taken a lot of the great ones: Hank Williams, Buddy Holly, Otis Redding, Janis, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Picture Quote #1

I’m like a middle-aged person; when my friends go on about modern bands, I don’t know what they are talking about. I’m into rock n’ roll, like Jimi Hendrix. Not so much because of my parents, who used to play a lot of Nina Simone and older blues, but my brother and sister Picture Quote #1

I am a leader, so 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 Picture Quote #1

I went into the house. I put on Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Red House’ at full volume, filled the glass to the brim with rum, without ice, and went back to the terrace. To gaze at the night and the dark sea and the night Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be the greatest woman guitarist alive. I had fantasies about being a female Jimi Hendrix Picture Quote #1

I have been involved in music since 1972 when I started managing two artists from The Jimi Hendrix Band. My family has been involved in music for years, so it’s kind of in my blood. I just wish I could sing! Picture Quote #1

You’re never going to see the fat Elvis in me. People I admired like Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and John Belushi all died at 27. I’ve got jeans older than that Picture Quote #1

Two of the guys that were honorary Vampires - Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix - had died at 27. And they were certainly archangels in our group Picture Quote #1

I feel close to people like Jimi Hendrix because I connect with his music. Not the man but what he did Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
