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.

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

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

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

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.

He didn't like Taylor Swift

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

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

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

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!

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.

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 dead before Led Zeppelin's golden patch happened.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.😎😀

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.

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)

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...

jimi hendrix once said: Music is religion.

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.

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.

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.

Some exceptionally poor journalism in evidence here: the selections by Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd were released long after Hendrix' death, and indeed much of the celebrated content of these bands came later. Also the lack of precise quotes, sources and excess use of paraphrasing make the entire report spurious. What Hendrix thought is lost in the lack of accuracy and context. 👎

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

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.

I wonder what Hendrix thought of King Crimson.

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

I wonder what Hendrix would have thought of punk.

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

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.

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

He has said in interviews that he admired Floyd

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?" 😅

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.

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

Some of those bands did not gel until after Hendrix passed

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

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

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

The quote here for the section about Pink Floyd, he literally doesn't mention Pink Floyd once. There were other bands with light shows and "Johnny B Goode with the wrong chords" doesn't sound like it refers to Syd Barrett's style at all.

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.

People who clearly don't know even the basics about rock history shouldn't post clickbait videos like this. And the same for people who add comments with their ridiculous opinions without having any real knowledge of the late 60's/early 70's music scene. People saying Hendrix wouldn't have known about Pink Floyd is plain moronic. NEWS FLASH! - Hendrix TOURED with Pink Floyd in 1967. In addition, Floyd had a psychedelic light show BEFORE Hendrix. They pioneered the technique in England. Anyone not aware of these facts doesn't know the first thing about classic rock music.

Hendrix liked the early Pink Floyd

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

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.

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

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.

If originality was mostly his issue with these bands, I wonder what he would of thought bout Black Sabbath?

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

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).

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

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 don't get it led Zeppelin was a great band and pink Floyd aren't a gimmick band. He did pass away before some of the best of both bands came out.

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 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!

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

Sadly, Jimi never lived to see Zep crib Spirit’s “Taurus” for the opening of “Stairway to Heaven.” He would have lost his mind, for Spirit’s leader, Randy California, was one of his best friends.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Even if this were true, so what? I’ve long ago learned to separate artists from their behaviour, including their opinions, which are usually as subjective and as skewed as those of any of us.

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.

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.

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.

Jimi Hendrix is a perfect example of someone who's been more popular dead than he ever was alive.

Jimi was great but Hey Joe let me look All along the Watch Tower to see who wrote those 2 songs?

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

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

I never heard any of this before and I'm not sure I believe it, except maybe the Monkees story. Nobody took them seriously as musicians.

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?

And who wrote " All Along The Watch Tower?"

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

Hendrix and Morrison were both dead within a year of each other with Hendrix checking out first in 1970.

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

Everybody stole from what came before.

Imagine what Hendrix might have said about the Osmonds and David Cassidy if he lived a few years longer than he did after 1970. He probably might have said: " I retract my statement about the Monkees. The Monkees actually sound cool compared to these New Big 1970's Stars in 1971, 1972 and 1973."

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.” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMyGqpt6v6i8cYE.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

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

I saw Hendrix play 4 times and two of them in Hawaii. I got to briefly say hi backstage at the Hawaii Waikiki Shell show and in those couple of minutes he was just so nice and came across as almost humble and thanked me and everyone for attending the show. I cannot imagine Jimi Hendrix hating anyone. He was always saying other guitar players were great and liked to watch other bands. Funny thing I'd like to see these so called quote and what Jimi "felt" with proof. Les Zep was brand new when Jimi died so I have to take this with a large grain of salt.

I can’t imagine Jimi ‘Hating’ any band he probably disliked them or didn’t approve of them but not hate can’t imagine him hating anyone in the true meaning of the word

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

He needs to be interviewed again to see if he has the same thoughts now.

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