And um, when I came back to England I put a very complex soundtrack on it, featuring everyone from Jimi Hendrix, right through to Neil Diamond, you know, everybody that was kind of popular who was kind of popular at that time.
Gerald Scarfe

But people are now realising why I was playing bass with Hendrix.
Noel Redding

But then there was Hendrix, man. Jimi was really the last cat to freak me. Jimi was playing all the stuff I had in my head. I couldn't believe it, when I first heard him. Man, no one can ever do what he did with a guitar. No one can ever take his place.
Terry Kath

Hendrix rehearsed different drummers, before we met Mitch Mitchell.
Noel Redding

Hendrix was big in England. We all became good friends and I am still in touch with Noel Redding.
Jimmy Carl Black

I also played with Jimi Hendrix. Jimi would come down and sit in with Retaliation and we would have a ball. He offered me the gig with him at 20 pounds a week, which at that point, was like 60 bucks.
Aynsley Dunbar

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.
Ziggy Marley

I liked the Beatles because there was so much melody. Jimi Hendrix is still one of my heroes.
Robert Cray

I loved Hendrix. I mean, really, really loved him. As if he were one of the great classical composers. And he was. That's how I saw him.
Warren Zevon

I really thought I was pretty good before I saw Hendrix, and then I thought: Yeah, not so good.
Brian May

I thought Jimi Hendrix... was just phenomenal.
Carl Wilson

I was impressed by Hendrix. His attitude was brilliant. Even the way he walked was amazing.
Ritchie Blackmore

I was impressed by Hendrix. Not so much by his playing, as his attitude - he wasn't a great player, but everything else about him was brilliant.
Ritchie Blackmore

I was listening to Jimi Hendrix; I just admire his artistry and creativity as an artist.
LL Cool J

I was the first guy to join the band with Hendrix.
Noel Redding

I was very influenced by Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, both of whom I had the pleasure of playing with and becoming friends with.
Mick Taylor

I watched Janis one time - we opened for her - and that's the only time I ever saw her. We opened for Jimi Hendrix. I got to stand on the side of the stage and watch him for two hours and then he died. But I got the essence before they left.
Stevie Nicks

I've always loved the blues, John Lee Hooker, Janis Joplin, Hendrix.
Eddie Money

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.
Steven Adler

Jimi Hendrix played loud and free, Sergeant Pepper was real to me.
Al Stewart
