Hendrix spent more time praising and welcoming musicians than he did crapping all over them. So I think a lot of what is put together here is BS.

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.

Most amazing guitarist produced by this planet, however... If Zepplin didn't redo the old blues tunes by black artists, you'd never know their names today. Morrison was an unhinged drunk and a boor. Why would he, even if broke, agree to a bill with the Monkees? Pink Floyd? Why would he care? Apples and oranges. What would he think of the shite, tripe and crap of today? He'd have to be hospitalized...

If you read about Hendrix you’ll know this is total garbage.

You know your drug use is out of control when Hendrix thinks you’re too stoned and your behavior is inappropriate.

Well if Zep stole from everyone ,they sure did know how to spend it.

I was somewhat surprised Jimi hated Led Zep, The Doors, and Pink Floyd. so, whatever, it's his opinion...I hated The Monkees back then too, but today i think their songs are actually better than the bland crap they call pop music today.

Hnt : If yo want to upload videos , don't rely on those artificial A;I. voices , it sucks and brings the quality of your video's below freezing point

He didn't like Taylor Swift

I guess lighting your guitar on fire isn't considered a gimmick....OK.

He would have liked Floyd and Zep if he had survived a decade more

This is bogus. I have lots of reservations about what he supposedly said.

The Monkees weren't really a band, they were a TV show about being a band.

His criticisms of LZ resonate with me even tho they're in my top 5 fave rock bands. The artists they "borrowed" from got paid eventually, but by then a lot of their lives was already in the past, and they'd deserved to get that money while they were still young. His criticisms of PF made sense _at the time._ Jim Morrison was certainly a drunken jerk at times. The Monkees were created as a TV band, nothing much should be expected of them, their biggest hits were written by others.

The Monkees, especially Michael Nesmith, loved Jimi Hendrix ...... when Hendrix was booed off of the stage when he opened for the Monkees, Nesmith was embarrassed for him and felt like the audience had no taste.

Strange that Jimi thought Motown music was lacking in genuine emotion… classic recordings like Dancing In The Street, Shop Around, Ball of Confusion etc are so emotionally charged they can move you to tears!

He didn't hate Led Zeppelin. Hate is an extreme position to take.

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. I never saw him again and sadly he came to a tragic end.

how strange many YT channels convey information from Long Dead musicians... you never knew him nor do you have any connection to this man

Hendrix was a musician par excellence, and the like of him will never be seen again.

I met Jimi backstage at the Filmore, He told me hated Steely Dan, he hated their "curlycue" guitar and their sophmoric lyrics, he also told me he really hated ABBA and The Talking Heads. He also told me their was an 11 year kid named Stevie Ray Vance or something like that that steals everything from everyone!

Hendrix was dead before Led Zeppelin's golden patch happened.

1) Led Zeppelin 2) Pink Floyd 3) The Monkees 4) The Doors (Mostly Jim Morrison though) 5) some Motown bands Jimi had worked with (not named specifically)

The funny thing is that Pink Floyd and the Monkees toured with Hendrix. I can’t help but wonder who he would have listened to in this day and age. I’m guessing everyone who came out of the CBGB’s.

I can understand where Hendrix is coming from. Guy was a deep thinker in regards to music as an art form.

Hendrix didn't really "hate" any of these. He didn't think much of Led Zeppelin because he knew the plagiarism. The Monkees- well he toured with them but they were the total opposite of his music. And he was actually friends with Jim Morrison.

Zep's "borrowing" is not a sin in my book, but rather not giving credit. I enjoy great reinterpretations of older material, but Zep should have acknowledged them.

jimi hendrix once said: Music is religion.

I wonder what Hendrix thought of King Crimson.

Bullshit that he didn’t like Led… shame on you Jimi would never put down Floyd either.

Hendrix's whole career was shorter lived than some things I have in my freezer.

Mickey Dolenz was a huge Hendrix fan and got his manager to agree to tour with the Monkees 😂

A lady who lives around the corner from me went to see the Monkees as a teen in the old Odeon Renfield Street Glasgow and walked out on the support act, Jimi Hendrix.

Chris Squire, of Yes, tells a story of Hendrix. Chris offered to sit in on a Hendrix gig because Noel Redding didn't show up. After the show, Hendrix said to Chris, "if you can't play, why did you offer?" 😅

Hendrix' equipment manager Gerry Stickells said "He liked the Zeppelin and had their records" and girlfriend Kathy Etchingham confirmed this when an interview in "Guitar World" magazine elicited the fact that he had a copy of "Led Zeppelin II" in his record collection at their Montague Street flat in London. He also liked Motown, played for the Isley Brothers and basically copied James Jamerson's bass style when he recorded his version of "All along the Watchtower", which Noel Redding had refused to play on.

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 didn't hate

Hendrix liked the early Pink Floyd

Actually Hendrix said that he did like Pink Floyd. There is audio of him talking about it. Though I never got the impression he was a super fan.

I totally agree on the comments about Zep. I was never very impressed with them. Jimi was on a level they could only dream to achieve.

Remember this when someone says your favourite band is not going places / is not talented, people. It's just humans criticising humans, usually because no matter their knowledge and experience, they can't understand what's following their own golden era (or they simply have different taste).

I'm laughing because I love some of the bands discussed in this video. I mean, why would anyone hate The Monkees? LOL They recorded great tunes.

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.

I think he liked especially Dylan, the Cream and the Beatles

Bull Pucky. Too much creative imagination on the part of whoever put this together.

Didn't like gimmicks? The man who set guitar on fire? Integrity of performance? Out of tune and playing with teeth? Motown was badass. So much great music. Didn't like Motor City jam? Huh. Well anyway...Jiminy certainly got credit for his contributions. RIP

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!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 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

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

I wonder if Hendrix would have been any good if he learned to tune a guitar?

I think this is a bit exaggerated. Like others said, Floyd and LZ hit their stride after he OD'd. Jim Morrison was a tool, but most of The Doors music was pretty darn original. Of course, The Monkees were lightweights (with some decent pop songs) but the "entire" Motown sound? Nope.

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.

This just in: Not every musical genius has good taste in music...

And who wrote " All Along The Watch Tower?"

Everybody stole from what came before.

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.

Whats that song 1:38 ? please

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.

I wonder what Hendrix would have thought of punk.

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.” ukposts.info/have/v-deo/rpaHq26AkXiJooE.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...

Led Zeppelin covering songs? Jimi Hendrix: All Along The Watchtower, I Was Made To Love Her, Day Tripper, Hound Dog, Born Under A Bad Sign, Killing Floor, Like A Rolling Stone, Wild Thing , Hey Joe. People in glass houses.

Hendrix hate LZ coz he was jealous of them,coz as a band LZ wiped the floor with everyone....AND they both had same source,had he lived to see the progression of LZ he would have changed his mind

I'm sure Hendrix would have loved post -1970 Floyd.

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

JH liked blues n 60s pop..he liked beatles, cream, zz top.

I feel Hendrix was talking through his arse. I've NEVER got into Hendrix . . . EVER. Zepplin, Floyd , Motown . . all great music . .

If Jimi truly said that these bands lacked originality, well he did, too. Buddy Guy revealed that Jimi got Voodoo Child from a Muddy Waters song. Jimi was good and put his own twist on things.

Some of those bands did not gel until after Hendrix passed

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.

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 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.

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. I'm no expert but I will look up to see if Jimi Hendrix did say "That he hated the Bands" mentioned in this video.

I remember Hendrix calling Zep "Carry On Baggage"

I wonder what he would think of Phil Keaggy one of the best guitar players

Jimi was the black Zappa (who genuinely liked Jimi), very rare for Uncle Frank, who tended to view mega successful artists with a great deal of suspicion.

I always considered The Isley Brothers as a Motown Band, Jimi played with them.

I would swap the Doors for the Rolling Stones, but agree for the most part on the rest. I kind of appreciate the Monkees more lately though.

I don't think he was a big fan of The Beach Boys, either.

He didn't live to see what the 70s became. He would think differently.

On the other hand, here are five bands that Jimi dug (and I dig, too!)---Vanilla Fudge, Mountain, Cactus, Allman Brothers, Grand Funk Railroad
