Zeppelin borrowed from everybody (that’s very obvious) but it’s not like it’s a great sin. Everybody borrows from everyone and musicians call them their “influences.” It’s just that in Zeppelins case it was a little more obvious. No doubt they were a legendary and talented band though.

Most of Floyd’s most prolific music came out well after Hendrix died. The early stuff with Sid Barrett was simple by today’s standards but at the time in England it was progressive. I doubt Hendrix wasted any time criticizing other bands.

I personally spoke with Jimi at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 and he told me he specifically loved all the bands (and Motown) you mentioned. However, he also mentioned 5 things he really did HATE --- clickbait, posers, influencers, the internet and camera phone addiction.

Just for some perspective, Jimi Hendrix died on September 18, 1970. Led Zeppelin had only been around 22 months and Led Zeppelin III and IV had not been released. Likewise, Hendrix died before the releases of Pink Floyd’s Atom Heart Mother, Meddle, or The Dark Side of the Moon, and before Floyd’s big stadium tours with light shows.

The word 'hate' back then (and for a long time) was used to mean dislike or strongly dislike, not 'appalled'.

I can see why Jimi dismissed Morrison. Jimi was a stoner and a peacenik, Morrison was a drunk, and drunks can get really obnoxious, violent, and embarrassing. The fact is, though, that Jimi was clearly heavily influenced by the blues - “Voodoo Child” is a rewrite of Son House’s “ Death Letter Blues,” for example - and such modern jazz people as Wes Montgomery, Larry Coryell, Sandy Bull, and John McLaughlin. When Morrison could get temporarily sober, The Doors were equally professional and sophisticated, which is why their music is still fresh and valid.

I visited Jimi, at the time in LA's history that he lived in the Afton aparments and before I went to Vietnam.. Some of his friends called him Marshal Dillon, kind of after Gunsmoke. James Marshal Hendrix. Anyway as we sat in his living room he played. I could of swore he was playing like voices almost making his guitar sound like it was talking. He was that GOOD.

alot of musicians don't know, they THINK they know, but they really and truly have no idea about how to play the opening riff of Hendrix's song "Voodoo Chile". the riff is played by Hendrix, a left hand user, with a right-handed guitar that has been re-strung for a left handed user. they get the pedal work fine and dandy but they constantly fail to know about how Hendrix played.

Opinions about music from the late '60s and early '70s seem pretty naïve in hindsight, but the Jimi Hendrix Experience were some pretty incredible musicians even though their aesthetic was flawed just like everybody else back then. Except for Stevie Wonder, that guy is the man!

Hendrix really should have been a boxer, slugging it out in the ring.

Don't know why I'm wasting time doing this but this is probably how all bands talk about each other till they "make it" and if they have still would have had staying power if he didn't die, they would have probably all done projects with each other later.

@@christineobrien7707 He NEVER played a guitar with his teeth.. it cant be done, just try it :) I did.. utter nonsence, gimmick.. the notes you hear are his fingerboard hand playing legato... yep, he fooled so many :))

Hendrix also absolutely eviscerated Lawrence Welk, even though he had shamelessly stolen that incendiary gimmick after seeing Myron Floren torch his accordion onstage while they performed together (for the last time) at a nursing home in Fargo.

I doubt he would have said any of this had he lived long enough!

To dismiss Led Zeppelin as just copycats is rather ignorant. They had some of the greatest musicians in the group and they rocked like no one else before them They are legend

I think it's the remarks made in this video are BS.. Being old enough to remember Jimi Hendrix he was a mellow guy who sometimes didn't even take himself seriously,, and everything that was happening was cool to him,, he never appeared to be a type of person that would insult or put someone down. He always just expressed a lot of love,,,peace and love.

Specifically about Pink Floyd - Jimi died in 1970 and never had a chance to listen to their really great albums Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and more. Maybe he would change his mind if he had this chance. In fact he hadn't listen much of Zeppelin neither - probably only the first and second album.😎😀

My guess is..He would've changed his opinion of Pink Floyd had he lived long enough to hear their work in the 70s like Dark side of the moon

Hendrix died even before Pink Floyds Meddle came out, so way before Dark Side of the Moon. It's actually a surprise he had even heard of them, since their last release before his death was Ummagumma, and I can't blame him for not liking that. I don't know how his opinion has formed though, because I don't think Pink Floyd had big lightshows before DOTM, but I might be wrong. Sounds to me like someone made that up though.

this is all based on hearsay - Jimi wasn't known to distain music, his onus was what it was, but all the things he mentions competed with his brand, that's simple to see. This is puerile juvenile revisionism of a substandard content creator

I suspect that Hendrix' dislike for the Monkees was due partly to the fact that he was booed off of the stage when he opened for them. In fact, the Monkees were the embodiment of musical resilience ...... they were a fake band that somehow managed to evolve into a real band, fighting for their right to play their own instruments on their studio albums, and touring live without a back-up band.

I'm very surprised he didn't like The Monkees. How anyone could not like The Monkees is beyond me.

Hendrix visited a Jack In The Box in West Los Angeles one night. He had a plain cheeseburger with some fries and a coke. He drove away in a late model Buick.

He has said in interviews that he admired Floyd

Hendrix comment on floyd was early on in his career. Later he actually admired pink floyd saying they were the mad rock scientist of the day. Hendrix wasnt afraid of calling a spade a spade but he was big enough to accept when he was wrong. He would have loved later floyd and zep

They didn't have locking nuts, and tail pieces on guitars then. All of the great guitar players in England went to listen, and were in awe of him. Hendrix did things with the guitar no one had done before. The feedback from his amp seems like old hat now, but that's just one example. LZ couldn't play their own music when the performed for their record label going out of business. Find it, and listen because they sucked big time, and not just from being out of tune.

Well I will admit he was pretty good

Pretty accurate, and Zep along with the Monkees are manufactured,, hand pucked, Pop. I agree, if he said led Zeppelin. Silly pop rhythm and blues music. He's right about existing music because about eight of their tracks on the first three records were copies. Yep.

3:30 "That's OK fella, I can handle it myself." .. Quite an interesting choice of words.

Personally I doubt Hendrix had much disdain for Zeppelin, especially if it is being quoted by Carmine Appice who often had a tenuous attachment to the truth. Didn’t Hendrix complement and even covet John Bonham’s abilities? Would be nice to have some accreditation to these statements too.

So Hendrix was an opinionated dick. That's so rare in rock musicians. I could care less what any of them think. I don't need their opinions, just their music.

Different strokes for different folks. Or I guess different sounds for different ears.

I'm sure Hendrix would have enjoyed Dark side of the moon immensely. As Zeppelin progressed and became very popular in the early 70's, I think Hendrix may have become fond of them. No reason to hate the band after that 4th album. Now the Monkees? Half the guys in the band were not even musicians! The Monkees really liked Hendrix after seeing him at the Monterey pop festival. What was Hendrix doing playing in front of a bunch of teeny bopper girls? It was short sighted and stupid of the Monkees to tour with Hendrix at the time considering their adolescent girl fan base.

Hendrix valued authenticity? How authentic is it to go out on stage and play while you’re strung out on artificial substances like LSD and heroine?

Don't waste your time on this video.. If Hendrix never killed himself, he'd be jammin with Page, Clapton, Jeff Beck, Gilmour, etc. If he was alive today, at 81 yrs old, he'd probably be playing with Ringo's All-Star band. Only thing worse than Rock'n Roll snobs is Jazz snobs.

Hedrix on Floyd a little later..... "When Hendrix took the time to listen to Floyd a bit more intently, he started to hear more of what they were going for on albums like A Saucerful of Secrets, making tracks that sounded like they were coming from a different dimension. Hendrix would later change his tune about Floyd’s direction, explaining to The Narrative Art, “They’re doing like a different type of music. They’re doing more kind of a space thing. Technically, they are getting electronics and all this. They do like a space kind of thing, like an inner space. Sometimes you have to lay back by yourself and appreciate them.” kzread.info/dash/bejne/qJqK2ZqCiqW-cbA.html Pink Floyd were only 5 years old when Jimi died, Waters and Gilmoure had only really started honing the future Floyd sound. Ican't imagine Jimi "hating" anything but hate, disliked maybe...

I would take this video's contents with a grain of salt.

It's because Hendrix was a virtuoso, and could see right through bands with average or poor musicianship. It's also why one of his absolute favorite bands was The Nice with a pre-ELP Keith Emerson on keyboards. During a Nice concert. security even caught Hendrix hiding behind the stage speakers, using a Super 8 movie camera, trying to record Emerson playing. lol

Some of those bands did not gel until after Hendrix passed

I like all those bands and a bunch of other music .Strangely I cannot name one Hendrix song ,nor do I ever listen to it and his music is never played anywhere

Hendrix actually rejected Morrison's query to join him in singing in Montreal not @the Scene in NYC- people really got ground in they old days as did they actors

I never thought the day would come: Led Zeppelin and the Monkees in the same video? I don´t think the information given here is very reliable.

I love and respect Hendrix for all of eternity but as far as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and The Doors go, they are GREAT. I don't dislike the Monkeys either. I don't blame Hendrix for distancing himself from Jim Morrison, Jim was not a match in several ways, although The Doors music is awesome. I can relate to his opinion regarding Motown, I much prefer the Hendrix style, that's putting it mildly.

if you know what happened, Morrison was singing "@@@@! her in the @@@" towards Janis Joplin.

You could argue that Stax did produce music that was more “authentic “ in some way moreso than Motown, but Motown’s mission was to make music with mainstream appeal, like his own ballads Jimi wrote for the Experience

This video was created to try to start a controversy. This is BS Hendrix sang other peoples songs Like Hey Joe it was sung by The Leaves on American Band Stand. Along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan, it's just two songs by other artist that Jimi Hendrix did.
