He also had a band with all black members called the band of gypsies .
He brought in his homie (black)from the ARMY Billy Cox because Noel was pissing him off...yet Noel supposed to be some top 50 bassist :mjlol:

...Billy left the band because someone spiked his drink with acid and he had a bad trip.:wow:

lets be real jimi hendrix in the black community is all image, like them girls wearing david bowie t shirts. i bet no one hear has listened to jimi hendrix all year yet alone name me 3 songs.

its been looks over content well back into the days, its always been some lady gaga shyt.

and those talking bout his guitar skills, the mass appeal lick >> jimi hendrix stuff, clearly you dudes dont even know what you are listening to when you hear all that hard guitar licks, fcuk all that extra shyt it supossed to sound melodic and simple like all great music.

i mess with black excellence, and jimi is black excellence but his not even better than sly stone & the family. at least black folk, bump sly stones shyt.

and he got god status because of the white boy nod, thats it not really content.
:mindblown:

Sly and the Family and Jimi are different though...really stupid to compare...

WTF are you even talking about...Jimi wasn't all just heavy guitar licks...have you heard Little Wing or Wind Cries Mary?

Dude, this might be the dumbest thread of all-times. (And that's saying a lot coming from The Coli)

Dude, Jimi is considered the GOAT guitarist by damned near everybody of every color.

Mitch Mitchell, thought great in his own right isn't even considered a top 10 drummer in rock. I mean, you got like

Bomham
Moon
Watts
Baker
Grohl
Copeland
Peart
Chamberlin
Carey

And like a ton of drummers who are more regarded than Mitchell


He was also taught how to play by Ernie Isley

:russ:NO he wasn't. He was playing for YEARS before he started playing with the Isleys.

He was imitating Albert King and Buddy Guy and all those guys before he was with them.

He also had a band with all black members called the band of gypsies .

Yessir,

curtis mayfield was also a huge influence on hendrix


https://www.youHendrix continued to indulge his career-long love of jamming while playing at the Wha? and hanging out in the Village, studying other groups' routines at different clubs. Bob Kulick, a member of The Random Band then playing Village clubs, often saw Hendrix about. "He was constantly at one club or another, either hanging out or picking up girls. Jimi was a consummate musician who would jam with anybody, any time. When he watched bands, he would even take notes. He would pick up stuff from everybody, no matter how bad they were... There wasn't anybody around who could play like him. No one could even figure out what he was doing. He played tons of blues, but his signature song was 'Hey Joe'. He also did a primitive version of 'Third Stone from the Sun'. I asked him who his biggest influence was, and he told me Curtis Mayfield."

'Hey, man, can you play this?'

The premise of this thread:mjlol:

It's downplaying Jimi talent..

Yet

-Clapton played with HIGHLY respected Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce

Why not downplay Clapton?

Or Randy Rhoads for working with Daisley and Kerslake

This shyt would be like

"Eh Jimmy Page was good but his drummer was BETTER"..

No one does that bullshyt.

Give credit where credit is due...

No one rates Noel's bass playing highly either..dude was nothing special and Jimi grew tired of working with him.
