dave_bass5 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I watched some of it last night but couldn't stand to see it through to the end. I get why he was a sensation back then, and did enjoy the documentary as it did explain who he was etc,but to me his playing, especially live, leaves me very cold and bored. I find it very difficult to hear any actual music in his playing, its all noise. To me he was just the first of many who could make a racket and get called a genius.

thebrig Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) I set the recorder on Tuesday and went to bed. Watched it last night, and it finished half-way through the programme. I forgot to adjust the clock to winter time, and of course it started recording early! Edited October 31, 2013 by thebrig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aende Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 [indent=1]It was okay, a bit of a montage of previous Hendrix 'Rockumentory's' and old interviews - some new footage and pictures a some great stuff from Eddie Kramer (but nothing new really, almost reciting his book about Hendrix TBH). Enjoyed watching it because Hendrix was such a great player.[/indent] [indent=1]Although Paul McCartney *may* have been responsible for some of Hendrix's career progression, he just comes across really badly about it.......[/indent] [indent=1]Unfortunately, I am a bit of a Hendrix junky, so, I have read and watched most of the stuff on him over the years.

Jah Wibble Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 [quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1383158134' post='2261002'] Watched it. T'was class. What about Macca claiming responsibility for Hendrix being booked for Monterray Pop. What a nob! [/quote] Haven't watched it all yet........but I can very much imagine Macca being a nob about something like that. I don't think anyone could lay claim to giving him a big break, he was always going to be heard no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Just watched it in the iplayer (never tried that before), certainly a good way to pass 90 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizznit Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Does anyone else think that Jimi's dad sounded like Morgan Freeman? I have watched lots of Hendrix documantaries before and it was one of the most decent. I really liked the never seen before film and photo's.

Interviews can't be traced, some said he said after Woodstock....[/size] [size=4]Either way, you've gotta love the fact that [i]maybe[/i] he said it....
